Good Morning all :-)

Well.got my car done for another year... happy with that!
It was raining really hard yesterday evening and today isn't much better... sky not leaking at the moment but we have got dull clouds and damp pavements.

Dizzi, very sorry to hear you didn't have a good night :-( but ... fingers crossed ... tonight could be different :-) <3
How are the builders next door getting along? hope they are not banging too much
but from what you said before, they seem considerate.

Just thinking Pat..... can you imagine me eating my breakfast outside at this moment :-0 talk about soggy toast :-D :-D
And I luurvve strawberries .... can eat them until they come out of my ears! :-D
I have been berry picking here, mainly for lingonberry ...I felt it next day though! The lingon grows low down and my back was getting exercise it hadn't done for a long time :-D .... I go the shops now :-D

You and I differ when it comes to our feet! I love shoes... my weakness... any type... boots, sandals, slippers and clogs... any !! Think I got it from my Mum :-D

Anyway, going to get some housework sorted..... 'bye for now :-) <3

Good Morning All :-)

The sun's shining at the moment and I hope it lasts for a bit.... its a holiday day here today, so it would be nice to be able to either walk or take a ride out somewhere.

Wishing everyone a lovely day :-) <3

Morning all :-)

Holiday here too.

Sorry didn't come onto the thread yesterday. Was busy yesterday morning and then found internet problems in the afternoon. Of and on for about an hour, they were obviously working on it. When it came back you could only get sites on the island. The link out off the island from us was in and out then. Got very frustrated with it and gave up. :-|

Hope all ok Dizzi and you've had a better night.

Solrosen, I too love strawberries and have some with breakfast and put some in low fat Greek plain yoghurt for lunch. Local bananas are great but we're coming up to the 3 months when there's none to be had. There's lots of fruit grown here :-D

It will soon be time when I spend most of the day shoeless. :-D. I hate wearing shoes so does OH. In UK, with carpet everywhere, as we came into the house shoes came off and we went around barefoot. Both children did the same so we are a family who prefers to be barefoot. Shoes are a necessary evil as far as I'm concerned.

Daughter bought some shoes for a special occasion last summer. Very delicate, blue suede, they have a smallish heel. She looked lovely in her outfit. She flew out here in November for a holiday and gave me her new shoes. Said she didn't think she'd wear them again. She's mainly in boots. She has several styles and colours of boots. She also has to wear a different boot for work - steel capped and soled and they cost nearly £100. She's a civil engineer so she never knows where she's going to be treading. Recently she's been in and out of ditches as she's doing a road widening project in Northants somewhere. She's also doing a widening scheme near Tamworth but I don't know how that's going.

Solrosen I give you permission to have my share of shoes :-D

My mum didn't appear to like shopping in general and never had many pairs of shoes. Daughter hates shopping although when I was in UK last June I went to see my sister and sister, daughter and myself had a great time shopping for daughter's outfit in Wolverhampton.

It would be a boring world if we were all the same, what would the shoe makers do if they were all like me - they'd be all unemployed. :-S

Went out last night, OH has a back problem and goes off for walks when he's been sat for awhile. On 1 of his walks he saw the Gurkha chef who'd just finished work. He went to talk to him as he could see he was very down. He told OH he'd just heard from Nepal for the 1st time since the earthquake. His father and brother have been killed in the quake. What do you say? :-( We feel so helpless, nature is so cruel at times.

Hope you all have a good day - just had internet dropout again, so posting this and I'll see what happens for the rest of the day. :-) <3

HI GIRLS,
FIRST THE BUILDERS ,WELL THERE NOT BAD REALLY
THEY DON'T START BEFORE EIGHT IN THE MORNING AND FINISH BY FIVE AT NIGHT,THE DRILLING AN HAMMERING THEY DO ABOUT HALF HOUR THEN DO SOMETHING ELSE FOR HALF HOUR AND BY DOING THAT ITS NOT HAMMERING ALL THE TIME,AND THEY HAVE GUTTED HOUSE AND NOW HAVE TO START REBUILD.

ANOTHER BAD NIGHT,IN A LOT OF PAIN,TRIED TO BE CLEVER AND USE THE WHEELS ON WHEELCHAIR TO SCOOT MYSELF BY USING THE RAIL ROUND WHEELS TO MANUALY GET ROUND,SHOULD OF KNOWN BETTER AFTER CRACKED RIBS I HAVE HURT MY OTHER SIDE AND ITS MORE PAINFULL SPRAINING MUSCLES THAN CRACKING THEM.

Morning to you all :-)

Hope you had a good weekend away Dizzi, although listening to the cricket results last night there has been quite a bit of rain. Well it is a Bank Holiday so it was bound to rain.

Coolish wind again but it's not so strong and it's a bit warmer.

Wonder if the new princess will be named today? When I saw George I was struck how like the queen he was so I Googled her as a child and took a look at her father as a boy. Revised my thoughts, he is quite like the queen but he really is like the queen's father as a boy.

All have a good day :-)
