Hi Fred,
Hope your doing the floors was not in vain and they are coming or have started your bathroom
We have been wet and windy here again and the wind makes it feel freezing.
At least we have no floods, some parks are a bit water logged but no serious flooding. We are not freezing either like Dorothy and other parts across the pond.
Had some bad news yesterday with the death of a good friend, she had an operation on Friday to replace a fractured shoulder. She came through the op but afterwards had complications and died early yesterday
She did have some other health issues so we are not sure what actually went wrong .We know there will be post mortem so we will have to wait and see.
On a brighter note we are hoping to book a holiday to Crete in this week,we should be going in June.
John was gutted when Utd went out of the FA cup and can't see them doing anything this year.
David is. .happy that city got a draw and have a replay.
Take care

Afternoon all ,where ever you may be ,and whatever you may be doiung ,webbed feet and all ,lol.
not so bad here Brenda ,as you say ,6 d plus is lots better than -50c ,i know i couldn't cope with that sort of weather ,i would rather emmigrate to Cyprus where the weather is far nicer,and the people nice and friendly.
Yes ,we have had the call about the wet room ,if all goes well ,they will phone up on Friday to confirm while they order the stuff in ,and all being well ,will start next Tuesday,weather or not,but they will be putting sheeting down everywhere to protect the new carpets,don't mind clearing dust up afterwards ,but if they wreck carpeting ,they will be billed for the new ones,i kid you not ,the carpets only a few months old :-|.
Bummer about your friend ,i feel for you over that ,what with losing my bro in law early last year after a hospital stay went badly wrong. :-(.
The daughter lost her cat yesterday ,it went mad ,attacking her as soon as she came in the door ,it taking the fella from next door getting the cat into a carry basket using a pair of welding gauntlets .
There are lots of ruins on crete ,some being Roman ,and earlier civilisations ,you could be into a very good holiday there ,i know i loved Cypres for old towns and cities ,8 qweeks ,and we never saw any where near what was on offer ,but i have loads of pictures of the ruins ,orange ,lemon and lime plantations ,as well as oldl'es of olive groves and monastries ,making the whole island look like a place out of the distant past ,like looking through a time portal.lol,it's true what they say ,see Cyprus once and your heart is captured forever.
Well time to get on with the tea ,dinner really ,but by the time i had filled in and took back the new paper work for the blue badge it was beans on toast for dinner ,but as i love them it was no hardship at all ,he he :-).
Catch you all later ,take care ,and stay away from the water ,if you can. :-D Fred,and the females xxx

apologies for anyone who reads this thread and wonders what has been going on.
I had a little break from doing my family tree but have started to troll round the sites again.
But not having much success, still Rome wasn't built in a day.
Hope you all had a good Easter and your weather is improving .
Hopefully be back soon.Have to think about if I am renewing or not in the next few weks.
Take care
