Oh hooray!
He's made my day!
That lovely 5EXY guy
Has just dropped by,
Added some welcome lines,
Brought us loads of wines.
What a 'jolly' they will make
Drunk with friends and Stella's cake!

Ok ok i'll just park up a min
A lorry full of drink I do bring
Beer, wine vodka whisy and some gin
so drink for week let the party begin.

Forget your worrys and all the rest
party on here with the best
Music lights and good food
come on in, if your in a good mood.

I've just been reading all your lines
And this is what I have to say,
I'm really sorry Stella,
That I missed your birthday.
I hope you had a great day
With lots of pressies and much fun
And a nice big chocolate cake
Did you save me some?!!)

Ladies, I'm sorry
I've been away
Then had a headache
Nearly every day.
But now I am back
And I am here
But I see Ron
is still missing
with his wine
and his beer!
And Maggie
Of your escapade
I read
You are a Samaritan
Heroine
On this thread.
You looked after
a man
You couldn''t do more
A real super star
Of that
I am sure.

I don`t mind driving generally,
It`s usually OK,
& I`m driving down to Somerset
a week on Saturday.

it`s over two hundred miles
(and the same to come back home!)
and I leave early in the morning
to avoid all those folk who roam.!

I like to reach the M4/M5 junction
before too many cars get there,
as its busy going to the West Country
and you have to be fully aware.

I can do it in about 3 1/2 hours,
(including a stop for a break,)
and get to my Sons` by breakfast,
often before they`re awake !

I`m looking forward to seeing them,
four teenage gr children to see,
all of them taller than me now
and as lovely as can be !!

I hate to drive
I find it a chore
I would be happy
not to drive anymore

BUT, today I took the bull by it's horns
and drove to see my son
He is only fifty miles away
but I hated every one

An accident closed the carriageway
and I sat for half an hour
I put on the radio
and imagined a beautiful flower
(to take my mind off everything )

I did have a lovely day
but so happy to be back home
Does anyone else feel this way
Or am I the only one ??

Maggie x

Alas, Maggie, I don`t have a bike now,
The last one bit the dust !
and I thought, well, it`s exercise,
& get a bit fitter I must !

and I thought it would help both of us,
but now I`m not sure at all,
because it`s ok for me, I don`t hit my knees..........
but then, I`m not 6`3" tall ! (ha !)

Tina x

Oh Yes, you asked about a Hike?
I don`t think they do that,
but they do do one where you can jog
to help you lose some fat !!

Oh Tina I am sorry
I can't help you here
A cyber bike, well
I am hopeless I fear

I have heard of these things,
like 'golf' and the like
and playing 'ten pin bowling'.
Do they do a hike?

My advice to you
is to get the real thing
And go out in fresh air
and let your heart sing

You can use your new gel seat
to make an easier ride
So no more sore bum
and the world opens wide !

from an ex cyclist ...lol

Maggie x

Well......It`s here & yes, I`ve set it up.
that was the easy part !
getting the thing to actually work,
well, honestly... where do I start !!

A booklet came with the bike,
Oh good, said I, here we go !
well it could have been written in Japenese
`cos it made no sense, you know !

Theres buttons here & `thingys` there-
all manner of knobs on this bike,
And does the book tell you what they do ??
does it `eck as like !

I went on line & found a Blog,
kindly written by a nice lad,
who ALSO had had problems
& ,like me, it drove him mad !

But he persevered & sorted it
& I followed what he done,
now my bike will work (in "game-cube" mode)
but I`ll have to ask my son,

because I can`t get the thing to work
as a bike should, using handlebars,
I`m riding it using buttons & knobs....
(sighs) not as easy as driving cars !!

Tina x (who has now ordered a soft gel seat cover from Amazon !!

lol ! oh Maggie !
I could just picture that !
Pedalling gaily through country lanes
praying you won`t get a `flat` !


I`ve had many bikes
over the years,
but the constant punctures
almost brought me to tears !

now this new `bike`,
(provided I set it up ok)
will mean I need not worry
and can use it any day !

and if (or when!) I`ve had enough
I won`t need to cycle home,
the kitchen is the furthest
that I will need to roam !!

Tina x

Oh, the memories came flooding back
I recall cycling for miles
The wind blowing through my hair
My face full of permanent smiles

OH and I would pack the panniers
and set off with rucksacks on our back
Staying at B+B's on the way
Never knowing when we'd come back

Alas, the 'rear' did suffer
But we pedalled through the pain
Now all a distant memory
As I shall never cycle again :(

Enjoy Tina !

Maggie x

Right !! Thats it !! I`ve done it.!...........
"What?" I hear you ask !
in my (feeble) efforts to get fit
I`ve set myself a task !!

I finally went to buy it,
On Tuesday it should be here.......
and if I set it up OK
I should be up & going in gear !

Have you guessed it yet ?
well, I`ll tell you if you like.......
in addition to my `Wii fit`
I have bought the `Wii Cyber Bike` !!!

Now I`ll be able to cycle
in front of the TV at home,
up & down hills & back again
pedalling all alone !

Now I have one reservation...
there is one thing I fear....
I recall from when I had a bike
It can play havoc with your rear !!

ooooooh !!
Tina x

a celebration ??
a birthday `do`?
well, count me in,
I`ll have a drink with you !

please don`t cancel your subscriptions,
I`ll try to be here more,
I`ll ply you all with fine wines & food
& try not to be a bore !

I know our numbers now are low,
but in quality we are high,
there is no finer bunch of witty folk-
it`s true....I would not lie !

you`re like a welcome tonic,
a cheering `voice` just there,
where else can one go to be cheered up??
well I`ll tell you....NO-WHERE !!!

Tina X ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WAVING TO MY FRIENDS !

dont know about the champers
but i certainly will drink wine
we must go to the local
and of their best we'll dine

i think i'll say i'm fifty
will dye grey hair before we go
will look rather nifty
and put on a great show

lol xx

Oh, okay, you have saved me
my tree is here too
Now I want to know your birthday
so we can have a wonderful 'do' !!

Hope you have booked a venue
and I will dress up oh so fine
We can have a drink to you
with champers and fine wine..lol

Maggie xx

my subs are up in August
but i think i will renew
just to keep my tree here
where my son can get a view

i am going to have a birthday
its a big one this time
we will have to have a celebrate
food with a glass of wine

Stella, you are a breath of fresh air
was just going to delete my account
We are only four now
well, at my last count

Please take a piece of chocolate
from my bar,tis melting here
I cannot do it justice
I prefer a chunk of cheese I fear

Maggie x

hello good samamritan
bet that was a shock for you
good job you're level headed
and knew just what to do

latley i've been lazy
i cannot get inspired
think the weather is too warm
and i am feeling tired

perhaps some chocolate will raise me up
to where the bluebirds fly
its my excuse for eating some
and i never tell a lie
~~~~~~~~~~ to all the girls

xx

I played 'good samaritan' today
a man collapsed before my eyes
An ambulance was called by me
and boy did they have a surprise

A packet of four loo rolls
was placed beneath his head
It's all I could think of
I was afraid he may be dead

I put him into recovery
wanting to relieve him from his plight
and then I left the scene
I hope he is alright

Maggie x

Well, here we all are
and Chrispy is plastered again !
And I have been trying to garden.
Then it started to rain

I started off in sunshine
nice and warm as I pottered in soil
Black clouds appeared on the horizon
with a promise that they would spoil

I planted out new saplings
Then the rain began to pour
So fixed myself a glass of wine
As Ron doesn't come anymore !
