General Chat

Afternoon all. :-)

27 C and a hazy sun but still the cool wind.

Went out last night Curry and Kylie evening. Had a curry and watched a Kylie tribute. Jenny sang some Kylie hits 1st half and then in the 2nd half it was 60s/70s hits that were great dance records. Up bopping with friends. OH's back not too good so no dancing for him. A 01.30 bedtime. Must get to bed the same day I get up :-D.

Jem I was just tired that day, too much galavanting again that's all. Son never said he'd be out now just sometime this year, we just thought that as he was communicating far more than usual he was up to something. :-) 2 +2 = 5 He's a typical male when it comes to letting you know things. Don't hear for months then get a 3 hr Skype. Daughter on the other hand chatting all the time.

The young man wasn't a friend, I was in his company about 2 hrs, it was just such a tragic situation. Never met his parents at all. Glad you had a lovely walk, it's tiring but so relaxing isn't it.

Jem saw an advert for rugby it reminded me it'll soon be time for Radio Jem.

OH's back not brilliant today, out Tuesday and Thursday so far, will have tonight off and tomorrow so hopefully it will feel better by Tuesday.

Kandj, am watching 20/20 cricket after the great win yesterday. Afraid modern tennis not so watchable as that of the 60s - 80s. Hope you get your night rain to help with the garden.

All have a good week. :-) <3

Hello All Roll Callers

A little light rain earlier but not enough to do any good in the garden which is very dry and in need of a good downpour. Hope it waits until we are all in bed though..

I will go out later and tidy the lawn edges. It has a good effect on the appearance of the garden with the minimum amount of effect which suits me fine today.

All veg and potato done and beef joint cooking slowly for later on. We plan to settle down soon and watch the men's tennis final Novak Djokovic v Roger Federer. We will be shouting encouragement for Roger but it will be a very close game we think.
Strawberries all cleaned and cream in the 'fridge to munch on as we watch TV.
Not sure what we will watch when Wimbledon has finished. It has been a good excuse to sit and relax each day and that doesn't normally come easily for me.

Whatever you all have got planned for today, I hope that you will enjoy it.

Hello All Roll Callers

It has been a weary day for me today, so I have just done the basics and hope that tomorrow I will find my get up and go back, which has got up and gone away today!

It has looked as if it would rain most of today but it hasn't so far. I will go outside now and water the lawns, borders and tubs. It doesn't take a lot of effort to hold a hosepipe and everywhere is so dry and in need of refreshing.
I did get the white dog-daisy plant put in a weed free space yesterday and I'm pleased with my bargain buy. I might go back and see if there are any more plants in need of a good soak and TLC but they have probably been snatched up no doubt.

We have had the tennis on TV but neither have been very interested to be honest now that the British players are out of the running. Good to see England are playing well in the Ashes and giving the Aussies a run for their money at Cardiff.

Jem, it sounded as if you had a happy time walking around by yourself. It will do you good to get away and recharge your batteries for a little while.
I hope all goes as well as it can be on Tuesday for your OH cousins funeral. So sad.

Pat, I hope that your OH back pain has lessened with resting and that you both will enjoy eating out with your friends once more.

To everyone who looks in on Dizzi's thread, I hope you are having a good weekend.

Good Afternoon Roll Callers :-) :-) <3

Thank you all, for your kind words re OH's cousin passing away.
Her funeral is on Tuesday.


Like you both, I found the commemoration of the London Bombings very emotional. I watched the BBC Drama- A Song For Jenny, which I found extremely moving. Somehow, just seeing the story of the Jenny's family made it all the more real. How ever did they manage to cope with such a devastating loss. And then you think about the other victims and their families, and think about what their story was.


Another cause for reflection was the 75th Anniversary of The Battle Of Britain.
My Great Aunt and Uncle, Ada and Alfred Austen (often misspelt as Austin) were killed by a Luftwaffe bomb when their bungalow in Dymchurch, Kent -Sea Breezes - took a direct hit on August 24th 1940.
Ada was my Gran's sister, a year older than her.

I had a lovely day yesterday.
I went again to my childhood village on my own, enjoying the peace! :-)

There is a small historic town about 3 miles from the village, where my mother moved to from Kent when she was 8 years old.There's a "The Original Factory Shop" there, which has lots of nice things, so I stopped off there first and treated myself! :-)

I bought a top, which has an off-white plain back, but has a huge picture of a leopard's face with big green eyes, and a beaded nose on the front. (Edited in- On reflection, it's possibly a cheetah!) It's strange how you buy things on a day out / holiday that you probably would not consider buying at home! :-S
It does suit me though, and will probably look good with a pair of jeans :-).

I also bought a nightie and some biscuits! :-D


Then it was on to my village.
I had an egg sandwich and a cup of tea sitting in a chair by the beach, looking at "my" castle over the estuary!

Then I went for my usual little walk, while eating a chocolate ice cream cone, past my old home!
It would have been more advisable however, to have had the icecream in a tub (as was offered) rather than on a cone, as I had difficulty in eating it without making a mess and having to re-apply make up on my return to the car! :-0 :-0

Then I went on a longer than normal walk. It must have been about 3 miles at least!
It was a circular walk, up the hill that eventually leads out of the village. Then, turning left to walk the road that overlooks the northern side of the village, passing a farm where I spent time as a child with the daughter of the old owners, and out into country roads.

I decided that instead of turning back, I would follow this long winding country road, which is heavily forested, with woodland, countryside and stream down a drop on the right hand side, and wooded hill on the left. This is a road another friend and I would free-wheel down on our bicycles (very dangerously) when we were about 13 years old.

Eventually, this road brought me out to the main route to the town about 8 miles away, (where I went to Grammar School) about a mile outside the village.

Then I walked back to the village, walking alongside the stream that runs next to the road. Here I photographed a mother duck with about 5 / 6 ducklings. I thought I had videoed it on my camera too, but unfortunately, when I got home there was no video :-(

I arrived back to the village square, just a few minutes past 6 pm. So a quick cuppa and some biscuits, before heading home! :-D :-D

:-)PAT
I'm sorry to read that you have been feeling tired and that your OH has not been too good :-(
I hope Aladdin went well :-)
I was Aladdin in my Primary School Concert when I was 10 in 1967! :-D :-D

I was sorry to read about your young friend. How very sad :-(

I'm sorry your son was not on his way to surprise you, Pat. I'm sure he will be over soon :-)


:-)KANDJ
Well done on your bargain dog-daisy buy :-)
You must have been disappointed that Andy Murray did not win the tennis. Never mind, perhaps next year :-)


Well, that's my encyclopaedia for this week! ;-) ;-) ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Love Jem <3

Hello All

OOOPS!!..... Pat gets the prize for spotting the deliberate mistake. Sorry folks, I have been thinking all day that it is Saturday. It "feels" like Saturday so goodness knows what tomorrow will feel like???

10th July 1940 marks the date of the beginning of the Battle of Britain when the Luftwaffe launched a series of attacks on shipping convoys off the South-east coast of England. The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh along with other members of the Royal family watched today as Spitfires and Hurricanes flew over Buckingham Palace to mark the 75th anniversary date of the Battle of Britain. A special occasion.

A brilliant today for England test cricket in Cardiff, not so good for Andy Murray who lost his semi final game at Wimbledon being beaten by Roger Federer, boo hoo.

Pat, that is a very sad story of the young man. I so agree with you that we do all need to count our blessings daily and can always find somebody worse off than ourselves. I feel so very sorry for him and his poor parents and family, bless him.

For what's now left of this FRIDAY evening, I hope everyone will have a happy time.

Evening all. :-)

On this Friday afternoon Kandj. :-D

Today is the start of remembering the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Remembering the air and ground crews who gave their lives to keep Britain free.

Staying in tonight OH's back was a bit sore this morning so he's taken it easy as we are out tomorrow. Curry and Kylie tomorrow night. A Kylie tribute act, she does a party mix second half. We know her as Jenny.

Had a terrible shock last night at the karaoke. Our friends are staying at the time share appts in the next village. We go to the club attached to the appts. Last night towards the end of the music one of our friends spotted 2 of his neighbours in the appts. They were up a corner unable to see anything so we made room for them to sit with us. They were a man perhaps in his early 40s and a young man 16 - 19 range. The younger man looked a bit glazed but they had been drinking after a meal. Young man's father did the driving before going back to the appt to see a film. It soon became obvious that the young man had a problem with his fingers when holding a glass and he had a slightly slurred speech. I looked at him and all I can say is his shoulders and face didn't look quite right. He was a very nice person and was funny and kept the 2 17 yr old girls with us (his neighbours) laughing.

When he went to the toilet one of my friend's, she was sitting next to me, asked if the young man had a problem as he was having problems holding his glass. The answer that came back shook me to the core. The poor thing has muscular dystrophy and at his last assessment was given only 2 years left to live. There was only the 2 of us aware of this and I told my OH as we got in the car to come home, it was a very quite car ride. I was close to tears. How cruel Mother Nature can be. His poor parents. The group were out for a wedding and the young man's mother flew back to UK earlier than the others as she'd bought tickets to take her mother to see Bette Middler last year before the wedding was arranged. Everyone else went today.

Count your blessings everyone.

Maybe next year for Andy Murray Kandj, doing better at the cricket. :-D

Sleep well all, night and bless. :-) <3

Hello All

The sun has got his hat on tra la la la la. Far too hot for digging up weeds so I have hoed a patch and they should wilt and be easy to remove perhaps tomorrow.

We went into the village this morning and I spotted white dog-daisy plant reduced at a bargain £1.50p.... too good to miss. I like a bargain and will plant this in a weed free space later on when it cools down and I water the lawns, borders and tubs. On the side of the plant pot it has a sticker with this WARNING: "This plant is not edible or suitable for human consumption".......... what is all that about?????

Washing all dried beautifully and ironing all done (very quickly, no fussing). Not one of my better jobs so all done and out of the way again, until next time.

The bungalow across the road has the SOLD sign on the board. We saw the sons carrying furniture into the village DIAL charity van earlier today and were hugely relieved it was being passed on to a worthy cause and not taken to the local tip.
We will wait and see now who has bought here and get ready to welcome them in.

I need to go now and shout Andy Murray on as he appears to be struggling with his semi final match against Roger Federer at Wimbledon this afternoon. Andy is very resilient and sure to keep trying and do his best to get into this years finals.

Hoping everyone is well and enjoying themselves this sunny Saturday afternoon.

Hello All

Sunny today and more is forecast for tomorrow, not sure what the weekend is going to be like. Still digging out the weeds and now have an almost full green dustbin but a lot tidier garden to show for my hard work and a few more aches and pains as well. Not finished yet though, not sure if one is ever finished working in a garden.

I haven't watched any tennis at all today but I see Serena Williams beat Maria Sharapova and will now play Garbine Muguruza on Saturday..
On Sunday Andy Murray will play Roger Federer in semi-finals, can't wait for this game. We have cheered Andy on from the comfort of our armchairs and hope he gets through this game and goes onto the Finals.... we shall have to wait and see.

Pat, I have recorded the cricket highlights of today's play in Cardiff for the Ashes, hubby is sure to watch that game sometime tomorrow morning.

The Greek financial situation is frightening. I have just read an article in the national newspaper, don't fully understand everything but it is looking very grim.

I think it's really irritating to wake up very early but at least a beautiful morning makes it all worthwhile. We have a new paper boy who delivered this mornings newspaper at 07.15am which is much earlier than usual..... long may it continue.

I hope that your OH's back has improved with a day off from going out to sit on unsuitable chairs. Would it help to perhaps take a cushion for him to lean on?

I'll wish everyone a goodnight now and a very happy fun-filled Friday tomorrow.

Morning all :-)

Didn't go out last night. One set of friends went home yesterday. OH's back played up a bit yesterday after several nights out on unfriendly chairs.

The Greek situation has been main item of chat here. Heard one bright spark say that the drachma was being reprinted on greaseproof paper. :-D

Suddenly went tired last night so went to bed early - only problem was I woke up at 5.45 and lay trying to get back to sleep, gave up and came downstairs. Beautiful morning until 8.30 when the wind got up again. :-(

It's only 26 C should be at least 30 C by now.

Don't know where you are Kandj but it's 14 C and sunny in Mansfield, North Notts. Hope you have a good day for weeding.

We were watching the cricket, well done Joe Root, England would have been slightly happier than Australia at the end of day 1. :-)

Out tonight, must do the ironing today, more washing done yesterday. :-(

Have a good day all, hope you have a sunny day. :-) <3

Hello All

Rain and more rain for the past two days but tomorrow the sun is meant to shine, we will see if the forecasters have got it right.

Rain and sunshine is a good combination for the many weeds in the borders but not good for my ongoing efforts I keep battling on, but fear the weeds are winning!

We watched Andy Murray beat Vasek Pospisil to reach his 6th semi-final in 7 years.
Andy will play Roger Federer on Friday...... it's definitely getting exciting now.

I hope everyone is fit and well and will have a happy day tomorrow.

Hello All
wrote quite a long message earlier and then I lost it....... how irritating is that!

We sat and watched the commemoration service from St Paul's Cathedral remembering the 7/7 bombings in London by the terrorists who took away 52 lives of ordinary people and changed our countries way of life ever since that tragic day.
We joined in the 1 minutes silence at 11.30am. It was an emotional service for us watching the TV coverage and remembering the turmoil in our capital 10 years ago.

Pat, so now you know that your son wasn't flying and trying to surprise you both, but Autumn will soon come along and you can enjoy a get together with him then.
Your night out sounded to be a happy affair with good friends and good food, so you can't get any better than that.

Mostly a wet and windy day here today and a similar one is expected for the rest of the week. Typical English Summer again but its cooler and suits us two much better than the high temperature the recent heat wave brought us. We just wilt..!!

Hope everyone will enjoy a good day tomorrow.

Son not on flight as he answered my text message immediately which is very unusual, but I already knew it had been delivered so therefore he wasn't on the aircraft. Oh well maybe he'll come with his sister in autumn.

Out tonight and it'll get busier over the next 2 weeks.

Have a good evening all. :-) <3

Evening all :-)

Out last night and out tonight. Had a busy day. Have got all the ironing done changed our bed and washed the sheets and done upstairs. OH did downstairs and downstairs windows.

Went to a local tavern in the next village tonight, it overlooks the open air theatre. We went because we knew the youngster from the dance school were doing their dress rehearsal for their version of Aladdin. Great food with entertainment. Tomorrow they do it all for a paying audience.

There were 6 couples we all had large helpings of food. Chicken, pork and squid meals with salad and chips were asked for, 4 bottles of wine, 1 large water, 5 large bottles of beer. We paid 35 Euro per couple at today's exchange rate that's £25.00 per couple.

By the way I had pork mix (2 sheftalia and a skewer of pork cubes) salad and water. Sheftalia is the local type of sausage, it contains pork mince, herbs and a small amount of cinnamon. I'm on a low carb diet and not just for a few weeks but the rest of my life. I was also a nominated driver.

Have realised how to find out if son is on the flight. I will send him a text after the plane is in the air awhile. My mobile tells me when my texts are delivered. Son never turns off mobile so if the text isn't delivered the phone is off and he's on his way. OH says if no delivery he's going to send a text - hope you've remembered my Telegraph. If he does son will know we know. OH always asks for the Telegraph for the crossword.

OH's back is much better but it's delicate still at times.

Kandj hope birds have flown, if not just continue with weeding.

Jem so sorry to hear about your OH's cousin, my condolences to you both.

Well we'll see if we'll have a surprise visit tomorrow, will let you know.

Sleep well, night and bless. :-) <3

Hello All

Rain mostly today so a break from the digging out of weeds and a rest from my old aching joints ha ha.

A good game of tennis watching Andy Murray beat the very tall Croatian Ivo Karlovic
on centre court. The crowd looked much more comfortable with lower temperatures.

Jem, so sorry to hear of your OH loss. A death in the family isnt easy to cope with.
I had seen the headlines in the newspaper reporting two deaths during lightening in the Brecon Beacons but haven't read the full article as yet. This is another shocking incident and there seems so much distress and sadness around right now

Hope Pat and OH are enjoying their meal out with friends tonight.

A spell of wet weather is forecast for the rest of the week and so I hope whatever you all have in mind that you will remember to take an umbrella and then it's sure to be a dry day (sod's law). Goodnight to all Roll Callers for now.

Good Afternoon Roll Callers :-) :-) <3

Another miserable day here weather wise!

We had some bad news yesterday evening. OH's 1st Cousin has died. It was expected, but obviously it is still very upsetting for the family. She has been a very good friend to my Sis-In-Law since S-I-L was widowed a few years ago.

Also her parents (OH's Mum's Brother and his wife) took all my OH's family in (his parents, Gran, single sister, married sisters, their husbands and children) when the fled "The Troubles" in Belfast around 1972.
With 2 daughters of their own at home too, where they put them all, I will never know!

First, OH had been shipped off to his older brother in London, after he was approached by the IRA to join them on his 16th Birthday. Because he wouldn't, he was pronounced a "marked man". He had already had a narrow escape from a bullet of a "Loyalist" Sniper.

Then about six months later, the rest of the family came to Wales, where the Uncle and Aunt put them up and helped them until they found homes of their own, and OH could be reunited with them again.
So as you can imagine, OH is feeling very sad.




I don't know whether or not you would have had it on the news where you all are, but on the Welsh news last night- 2 people were killed when they were struck by lightning, in 2 separate incidents on Penyfan Mountain in the Brecon Beacons (Mid Wales) :-( :-( :-(
Others were hurt too.
We liked to go walking there, but we haven't been for a while.


According to the people who know about these things, it is a very rare occurrence and it happening twice is unheard of!

:-) KANDJ
There never seems to be any end to weeding does there?!
A little at a time,regularly, is the way to go, but I'm afraid I often leave it until it's a big job!

My privet hedge needs doing again badly. My nephew took quite a few feet off it last year for us, but it has already grown quite a bit.
I have been reluctant to cut it as sparrows and blackbirds have been nesting in it. I think it should be safe for me to cut it now though :-)

:-)PAT
I hope you and OH are well and looking forward to Wednesday. I hope your Son does decide to surprise you with a visit! :-)

~~~~~~~~~ Prickles <3

~~~~~~~ to anyone looking in :-) :-) :-)

Love Jem<3

Hello All

Sunshine and heavy showers today. Thunder and lightening but its still muggy and humid. I hope we will sleep well tonight though.

I have continued with the weeding again today in between the rain.. It should have been done in the Autumn but never was and so now it is much more difficult. The old proverb A stitch in time, saves nine comes to mind! The green dustbin is two thirds full and still plenty more weeds to dig up yet with no end as yet although I am nearer than I was yesterday. I do like to see a tidy garden, so will have to carry on.

Jem, how lovely for you to see your Grandson all dressed up for his Prom. Youngsters grow up so fast, you wonder where the years have gone. I hope your Granddaughter1 is behaving herself now and all is calm after being read the riot act.

I was more than happy to go back for the £13 money off voucher. We also thought it was good to be given the chance to leave a trolley load of groceries in the store but then I suppose it helps being in our village and knowing the staff so well.

I always loved to see which jumper Val Doonican chose to wear each Saturday.
I used to knit jumpers for my lovely Dad and brother. Nothing so special as the ones that Val wore though all those years ago. We all enjoyed watching his shows.

Pat, it will soon be Wednesday and you will know then whether your son will be with you or not. Don't forget to act "surprised" if he does show up though.

Did you and your OH relax yesterday evening and get geared up for next few nights out eating with your friends. How is your OH back pain now, I hope it's a lot easier.

I hope that everyone will have a happy Monday tomorrow. Take care now..

Good Afternoon Roll Callers :-) :-) <3

It's not a very nice day, here in South West Wales, weather-wise. It's raining and windy at the moment.

Grandson 1 had his School Leavers' Prom on Thursday Night.
He looked very handsome in his grey suit with a pale waistcoat which changed shades slightly in different light- sometimes pale grey, beige, and even very pale green (like eau de nil) with blue triangle pattern with a slightly deeper blue pattern in the diamond. A white shirt with a light blue tie exactly matching the blue diamonds.

First, I had to take him to a local hotel to have his photo taken with his girlfriend, as it was also her Prom (different schools). This worked out well as they were both dressed for the photos.

Then, on to his school for the send-off.
It was so packed that police and traffic controllers were there. We had to park on the tennis courts.
His Mum then arrived with his 3 sisters and baby brother, and we all took loads of photos.
Getting him to smile in his photos was difficult though! The best ones were taken when he wasn't actually posing for a picture!

Then we all waved the 3 coaches off!


Like you both, I also observed the Minute's Silence for the victims of the Tunisia Terror Attack with tears. It was very moving watching the coffins arrive in Brize Norton and obviously,it must have been very upsetting for you Pat, having known one of the victims personally.

When we were watching the news with holiday makers being repatriated, they showed people coming off a coach. When the first passenger got off the coach, a lady, I said to Grandson 1- "I know that lady's face, I'm almost sure she lives in our town". I was right, because it was on the front page of our local weekly newspaper, the following issue.
It's strange how your brain takes things in without realising it. I don't actually know her, but I still "recognised" her from somewhere!


Well done to the England Women's Football Team on the victory over Germany to take the Bronze Medal in their World Cup! :-) :-) :-)


:-)PAT
I am so sorry to hear about the problems your poor son has had with girlfriends. He is obviously a very nice and caring young man. Hopefully he will find someone who will treasure him soon :-)

I bet you are very excited about your DNA test results! :-)


:-)KANDJ
Well done on now being weed free! :-)
That was good of Morr***ns to let you go and fetch your voucher. £13 makes a big difference to your bill!
I hope your OH is feeling better.

I too remember "Pinch, Punch, First of the month"! :-D :-D :-D

Sad about Val Doonican! I too remember watching him sitting in his rocking chair in his signature jumpers!

I used to do karaoke parties for my friends years ago.
I would have a competition- who could do the best "Delaney's Donkey".
Mind you, the karaoke track was much faster than Val's, and so much more difficult to sing, particularly if you had not heard it before! The winner's prize was a large beach stone with "blarney" written on it! :-D :-D :-D


I hope you are all well

Love Jem <3

Hello All

Just come in after weeding the jungle border in the front and I'm shattered but happy to see another stretch of weed free ground for my efforts today. A lot more to do yet, but that will have to wait for another day. (perhaps tomorrow??).

I have recorded the Andy Murray match against Andreas Seppi so we can sit relaxing and watch this game in a little while. Should be good. Hope Murray wins.

Pat, your son sounds a lovely person but is obviously choosing the wrong girlfriends but we Mums can only watch and wait to see how things turn out for our children.
Our son in law is a Chef and we know about the anti-social long hours they work.
I bet you can't wait to have your DNA results. It's all very interesting and who could believe you can get all that information with a small sample...... just amazing I think.

It's still a lovely evening, probably the best part of the day now so I hope everyone will have a good time whatever you have in mind.

Evening all. :-)

We were listening to Radio Northants at 2pm here, midday UK time. To end his show and go into the 1 minute silence Bernie Keith played Michael Jackson's Gone Too Soon, very moving song in this context. We sat here in silence. Our ex next door neighbour went to Walesby church to observe the 1 minute silence.

Son will be on his own Kandj. Think he's given up on females. I'm afraid he goes for the same type. He's too soft hearted and when a damsel is in distress he's there helping her out. He falls, picks up the damsel, sorts out the problems and damsel is happy. Well then they want a boyfriend who isn't a chef and working most nights and off they go. One even went back to an abusive boyfriend another decided to go off with her best friend's (since school) husband just after her best friend had a daughter. Hopefully he'll realise that he needs a woman who doesn't need him to sort her life.

Haven't worked out what to do if he gets out here as a surprise. I know where we'll be and we'll know how to tell he's in the air. We both have mobiles that tell you when a message is received by the mobile you've sent a message to. He never switches off his mobile except for flights and meetings. We can just send a message after the plane is in the air, if it isn't received the phone is off.

Well our DNA samples have got to the lab so soon we'll know more about ourselves.

Been out for a meal this evening, not out tomorrow night but looks like Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and with the others coming who knows?????????? :-S

Sleep well tonight and have a good day tomorrow :-) <3

Hello All

We joined with the Nation at 12 noon today remembering the Tunisian shootings and all who tragically lost their lives one week ago today. The flag in our village Communty Centre has been flown at half mast all week as a mark of respect too.

We watched the ladies tennis match this afternoon and very exciting it was too. Sadly Heather Watson failed to win USA's Serena Williams losing 6.2, 4.6, 7.5 in a very exciting game, but with a very disappointing result after her hard efforts.

It has been pleasantly warm with a gentle breeze today but rain forecast tomorrow. It is very much needed in the dry gardens , and this will save me having to water the borders and tubs, so it's one job less for me to think about in the morning.

It's hard to believe that it's Friday and another week has been and gone so quickly.
I hope everyone will enjoy this weekend whatever you all have in mind. Take care.
