When are you going Sheila?,and how long will you be away?.I hope you have a really restful and happy time with your friend.We will miss you.What will Beryl do without you lol.

The rain seems to have cleared away now and there is blue sky.A little nip in the air I think.I may have to put something with sleeves on.The chimney is all ready for when we have a fire.It won't be until it is really really cold.I find it too dirty and dusty even though I love a real fire.Haven't had the heating on yet.I'm dreading it really as I bet we will start having problems again like last year.
James and Jess are back from Cambridge.They had a lovely day.Didn't have a punt but had a rowing boat instead as it was very windy.Jess is going back home to Kent tomorrow so I will have to have a look around to make sure she has all her things.She is a bit scatty lol.

you sure do need a suit of armor Sheila-Very lucky it ws not the eye-
have a good time with your friend------But tell the truth your going of with your TOY-BOY lol xxx

hi Jane I am going in in a few hours thank you for your good wishes again I sound like a moanie gramaphone record was fine today just out walking with Jasper
and wham something hit me so hard I felt really sick for a moment and then some stupid boy went running off across the grass. I was alright for a while my face was bloody but not a lot a bit like when you pick a spot and it bleeds.
Now I have a huge bruise on my cheek it is painful.
I phoned Annie and said is that offer still going for me to stay with you. I have had enough of Birmingham. I said when can I come and she said how about in half an hour
I said can you make it about 10am she said fine.

Matt phoned then to make me worse and said Sheil thats what he calls me I have to have a scan I may have some bleeding the specialist said if so I will need an operation I said shall I come back up to Wales he said with all those
noises that worried you. He said go to Stratford and have a nice time.Jess said she can cope and will ask her friend
to look after April when she is not around.

Sophia s reporter came and he upset her straight away this morning said Sophia Keogeski she said yes he said I went to your house and saw your mother she said you were here. Sophia hit the poor man with a magazine and said whotta you mean my mother thats my daughter Maria
Ann Carlotta Josephine not my mother The poor man looked horrified and said I have come to take your picture.Sophia said fine and stood posing for 15 minutes .
The reporter said Oh shes a handful hope she does not win anymore competitions .its a beautiful cake will send a picture.
Lunch day with Beryl tomorrow but have told her I am going away and she swore at me I said I have been shot with a cork and she said got one for old mouthy could do with a cork for Donnies gob.I did not ask why he asks her for a ciggy and when shes not got one he gets a bit annoyed maybe thats what upset her. She can get on with
it. I am going to posh and shes rough .I think she will come round when she wants something from me. Bye for now
everyone again!!!! Anyway you will have Catie and Elizabeth and Janice so one less will be good its nice having new threadies. love you all xxxx sheila
MEL sorry about your mum .

oh Shirl you do make me laugh. I should be so lucky.
I do not think I could handle one at the moment he would not get much out of me hahax

Jane missed you today.

Well, it's all been happening today, I can hardly keep up!!

Poor you Shirl, that must have been very frightening for you and for your OH. I hope he is feeling well again and is ok now.

Catie I'm glad you all got through yesterday and it was nice to have met some more of the family.......little Mark could be tall then. Hopefully as the practicalities gradually get sorted your poor BIL will be able to function better. He mustn't expect too much of himself though it is one day at a time and it will be harder some days.

Elizabeth, it is always a twitchy time waiting for these things, but good your OH is being checked out. Best to keep busy. That pony of yours is a beauty, I love him!!

Mel, sorry to hear your mum isn't well. Has she had this happen before.....must be quite worrying for you. I hope she feels better soon.

Sheila, what can I say. No sooner back from a holiday and needing another. That was awful, being hit in the face like that just walking your dog. It would put me off walking there. I would be scared it would happen again. It will be a nice change to be with your friend near Stratford......it sounds calmer there!! Now poor Matt has to have a scan. Your life sounds like there is one thing after another. Hope your poor face is better soon.

We had a new visitor today. lol OH was out on the front putting the bin out when the lady next door came out with hers too. OH turned around to see something furry disappearing through our front door. Neighbour shouted ALFIE, no sign of him. Since her husband died earlier this year, she recently got a Lhasa Apso puppy and it was him legging it through our door. OH had to go in and scoop him up, cute, fluffy fawn and white with a black thin droopy moustache. I think we may be seeing him again!!!! lol

Mel, I have PEAS......just a few ready.......planting in July wasn't too late just like you said. I have already had one or two pods full raw.

Hi all
came on to say goodnight and thanks to everyone again for all your kind birthday wishes and cards, I have had a nice birthday , been quiet here on my own today.
Daughter no 2 brought in a big strawberry cream cake for tea and we made pigs ourselves.

everyone gone home and I'm off to bed , Hope you have a good journey sheila and a relaxing holiday.

night nightxxxx

goodnight all

Morning and much Brighter today.

Some sun but very misty moisty.

Mum was not too good last night when she went to bed. Very weak so last night was the first night we used the bell. She did'nt ring it! When I just looked in she was snoring.

Ancestry have released new Ship Prisioner records today,including children and women.!

Age,Crime and Sentencing Court and years.

Morning Mel
sunny at times but really a wild wind and heavy showers mostly, interesting about new records on Ancestry, will have a look not that I know if I have any ancestors who were prisoners aboard ship, netherless it will be good to look at new records.

pottering around the house then off to daughter no 1 house for lunch then we are going to the doctors with Sofia , poor little mite it's her 12 months jab, she will know something is up this time and will not be very happy , must remember to take a toy to side track her from whats going on.

will catch up with everyones news later on.

Morning All
So windy again but fairly bright.
I hated having to take my 2 for their injections Fiona.Knowing they would cry just a second after the jab.But we have to do these things to keep our children safe don't we.
Vet's this afternoon.Chesters limp is so much worse.It does wear off but even if he lies down for a minute ,when he gets up it is terrible.
I bet Ann will make a nice fuss of the little dog if he decides to visit her again lol.I often found next doors dog in our garden and he loved to come in .He was lonely as he was left all day on his own in the garden.He would somehow get over or through the fence and hedge.Poor thing was killed by a car one evening.It would not have happened if they looked after him properly.I'll say no more on that ,as I will wind myself up lol
Mel I hope your Mum has had a good night .

Not a lot of news from this end. Haven't been exerting myself. I have to strip the greenhouse of all the tomato plants. and taks down my beans before the bin men come Monday Week. They are just about finished. Given bags of toms away to neighbours. If they weren't in I hung them on their doors. They will wonder who the fairy was,picked enough beans for dinner last night, might get another picking before I take them up.

Lawns need cutting again,but they can wait.

Took Ros out yesterday, and bought new ear rings and bracelet for her birthday. All the family coming Sunday and we are going to the local carvery for lunch (7 of us). It's a Tob# and the food is always fresh and plenty of it. That will suit the BOYS. they can eat like a horse.

Jane, This woman Janice from Australia.Answered me on the Community site. When I asked about that doctor, who had seen a woman 6 times in 8 years and didn't find she had Cancer. I asked if he should be struck off. and Janice replied
That was a few weeks ago. then at the weekend, she enquired if I had got over the upset. Thinking I had a family involement in the case. I replied, that it was nothing to do with me. and got chatting. I asked if she would like to join the thread. Still waiting for her to come on line. She has sent a JOKE so she's like us !!!!!!

Afternoon all,

What a wind we have today ,so gusty ,i had to take the sunshade off the garden swing in case it gets ripped ,things are lumping and bumping about ,Toby keeps jumping up as if to say whats that !!

Mel , hope mum feels a bit better today ,that bell sounds a good idea .

Been out in the garden and had a bit of a tidy in front of the shed as hubby wanted some of his tressles moved and there was a bag of sand ,looked in and there were these little clear balls in clusters they are about the size of a large pea , i don't know what they are ...wondered if they were snakes eggs !!!!! goggled and Adders don't lay eggs ,so anyone got any ideas as to what they are ???
Tried to take a photo but they are covered in sand now from where i scoped them up , and there now in the bin .

I remember Bob a job.Working diging gardens all day for 5pence.They dont even give prisoners in prison that amount off work.We also played on building sites.When Knocking down old prefab houseing.in the early 70,s

Afternoon All,

YOU a FAIRY Frank!!. Shirl will be choking when she reads that. lol Seriously though that is a very nice gesture. At my previous house I would arrive home and find things on the doorstep at times, a cauli once, cabbage. I never did find out who was leaving them though, so I could never thank them. I did wonder whether they had left them at the right doorstep. lol Another man who used to cross the park at the bottom of the garden would bring me beans too.

Yes Jane, little Alfie will be very welcome!! He's 17 weeks old and we haven't even heard him bark yet.

Kevin, I wish some would come and dig for me that cheaply. We never see any bob a jobbers these days. A favourite thing used to be washing your car. I suppose they would have to be accompanied by an adult now.
