Good Morning All, Hi John. Part 2 of the story. Thursday. To Day Ray asked for a salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said prepare ingredients, then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Ray asked me, Why was I rolling in the garden. Friday I found a new recipe for cookies. It said put the ingredients in bowl and beat it. There must have been something wrong with the recipe. When I got back, every thing was the same as when I left. Saturday Ray did the shopping to day and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress. It for Sunday (oh boy). For some reason Ray keeps counting to ten. Sunday. Ray's folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast but all I had was a hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius. I put th hamburger in my oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment. GOOD NIGHT DEAR DIARY. This has been a very exciting week. I am eager for tomorrow to come so I can try a new recipt on Ray. If I can talk him into buying a bigger oven. I would like to surprise him with. CHOCOLATE MOOSE. Thats it for now as my fingers have gone dead with all this typing LOL. Tat Tar June.

Hiya - It's that man again! Faith, sorry I missed your birthday, anyway, belated birthday greetings ;-)))))))} If I'd known I could have made you one of my special cards. Brenda, have a wonderful day (I won't ask your age 'cos it's bad manners to ask a lady!). May all your wishes be granted - if you win a million please don't forget your friends rotflol. Here's another for a singalong........ I'd like to get you, on a slow boat to China. All to myself alonnnnnnnnnne............................. It isn't snowing here yet, but I've just seen a plea on the board asking if it is snowing in Brum because someone has to drive back to Uni' and they are in Lincolnshire where it has. I have just applied and have been accepted to have broadband installed by Tiscali. So soon I shall be sending out emails to all who have my personal address, with my new monica. I shall be paying a quid less for b'band than I have to pay for dial-up yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (thinks, what can I do with a quid?) June, I like your story, can't wait to hear what happens at the weekend - Tarrarabit, John xxxxxxxxx.

Hi everyone what a happy bunch today, singing in the snow...We are between storms at the moment I can even see a patch of blue but nothing good in the forecast for the next week just more of the wet stuff, I do have some daffs in flower but no sign of spring yet...Stay warm everbody...Birthday wishes to Brenda have a great day!!!! It was my birthday the other day but it was very uneventful, I did treat myself to a choccie cake..Marg it looks like we have a couple of years to prepare for our Johns visit, I think he's going to be quite a handful, I can manage a little tea and sympathy if he falls off my wellies and the odd bacon sarnie, by the way what happened to Di and the canadian thread? I used to like to read that..Keep up the singing but dont curdle the beerLOL Take care all...

Hello All, Now is any body like this on our site. ? They say that Ray's wife has blond hair............ Monday. Its fun to cook for Ray. Today I made angel cake. Recipe beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors were nice to loan me some extra bowls. Tuesday. Ray wanted fruit salad for supper. Recipe said serve with out dressing. So I didn't dress. What a surprise, Ray brought a friend home for supper. Wednesday A good day for Rice. Recipt was wash thoroughly before steaming. It seemed kind of silly but I took a bath anyway I cant say it improved the rice any. Thursday Friday Saturday & Sunday will do these later on. Tat Tar for now June.

Hi! The trouble I am having is not the fault of my computer as I have had it checked, so it must be the Genes Site. So far I have not had any reply from them, maybe they are tired of me complaining. Maybe, just maybe they will decide to acknowledge my remarks. June Yes I am ready for the snow, have change my tyres to winter ones, spade in the back pocket of the scooter, always take a flask of hot soup whenever I go out, long johns on, warm shower proof parka, thick pullover, woollen scarf, hat with side panels to keep my ears warm and fur lined boots. By the time I have got myself ready the shops have closed so I needn't have bothered in the first place. Good King Jim looked out When the snow lay all about Deep and crisp and even Wonder where those footsteps led Don't lets bother back to bed Hibernate til summer. BRRR!!! Red nose penny bag figs, apples a pound pears and plums the same. Well Here we go again hoping I have not lost all my words, if I have words will not be fit for print!!! gfn from Shivering Jim and his Hot Water Bottle Mary C.

Well almost bed time so nighty night everyone. Margaret

Hiya - It's that man again! Did anyone else see the Jasper Carrott's repeat on TV tonight (sorry, it's mornin' already 8-))))))} I mean last night!) a great laugh from beginning to end - especially his description of pasta, 'If you read the list of ingredients on the packet, it's flour and water - it's bloody wallpaper paste', and when he asked his dad what a menstrual cycle was, his dad wouldn't tell him, so he grew up thinking 'it was one without a cross-bar and had a basket on the front'. He only buys French cheese to hang outside to keep the flies away ;-))))))} I wish you wouldn't keep on about the forecast snow June, it never seems to happen and I'm sure that if I had a few corns I could give a better forecast ;-)))))))} A Your adorable, B your so beautiful, C your'e a cuti full of charms....................Someone finish it eh! this is the third one I've started for you and I aint had a bite yet! NEWS FLASH....................... Commenting on a complaint from a Mr Pursey, about a large gas bill, a spokesman for North West Gas said: 'We agree it was rather high for the time of year. It is possible that the customer has been charged for the gas used during the explosion that blew his house apart'. (Bangkok Post) Sorry your'e having problems with your computer Jim. Thinking about the news flash, I wonder if a whiff of gas and a lighted match strategically placed under the offending instrument might do the trick? lol Faith, if I fell off your wellies (Margaret said that I would need your wellies not ski's, when I come over in 2010) and broke my leg, would you nurse me back to health? But thinking about things, isn't it Margaret who is the nursing auxilliary? Tarrarabit - John xxxxxxxxx.
