Good Afternoon all, I have Pm'd you Mel.

Good Afternoon all, I have Pm'd you Mel.

Oh Frank that's rotten you were looking forward to going out to lunch too , I hope you soon feel better so your well enough to go out on Thursday.

Hi all, Have been SICK, last night and today. Very poorly upset tummy also. The four of them went off to Lunch and left me sitting in my dressing gown. with a glass of water. Doing doing anything regarding food. I might have a bowl of soup later.

See you as and when xxxx

Afternoon all,

Another lovely sunny day ,the family came this morning and son put the cleaner polish on the wood burner so that looks a lot better .

Ann i want to get some of those Pom Pom makers too i think it was a set of four different sizes for 2.99 ,the girls do like doing any thing crafty ,i think they would like to do some Pom Poms ,there was also a Latch hook Cushion kit and Latch Hook Pom Pom Rug kit .

What a shame you have the rain Gill and just when you want to get on with your screening too, at least OH's tree is keeping you busy .

I expect AnnG is well on her way home now .

You reckon Mel?! Despite you being under the impression you own this thread, there is nothing YOU can do to stop me posting as and when I please!

At the moment I can't open any of my messages on this site. I have about 7 and only manage to open the first one sent from AnnG.

Go away Jemima or Pippyn we know who you are.

How far back are you going with your family tree Gill? OH and I set a date limit for both of us which was the beginning of the 17th cent, before then was just too long ago to be that interesting!!!
Gorgeous day here, sitting in the sun with OH and the dog,lapping up all that vitamin D!

Afternoon all

It's been raining here and it's not very warm.

AnnG should be on the plane now. Safe journey home.

Have you got through all your washing now Jane? That's the problem with going away you have all the washing to do when you return home. It sounds like James and Hannah had a nice time away. It'll be nice to catch up with her yourself when she visits.

I'm like you Mel and can't go to see Downton Abbey, the nearest cinema is miles away, so I tend to buy the films when they come out on DVD, at least that way I can keep them to watch again.

Sorry to hear you have a migraine Vera I hope it clears completely soon. Good idea to keep away from the computer screen.

It sounds like you've got plenty of new crafts coming up you can do Ann. That was nice of Mandy to let you know about the craft items at Aldi.

Still plodding on with OH's family tree, I'm starting to get fed up of it now as it's a massive job and some days I don't seem to get very far, which is a bit down heartening. I'll be taking another look at the American ones today, but I'm finding those a little difficult to find. Never mind hopefully they'll be finished soon, then I can move onto the UK ones, which should be a lot quicker.

My Father was working for Wimpey on an open cast coal site

near Bedlington when I was a youth. He was on night shift up the

jib of a drag line,greasing it.Some one down below got into the

drag line and started the engine !! The steel hawser ran over my

Father's hand amputating two fingers !!

Morning all,

Lovely bright sunny morning again and I can see vapour trails int he sky, I wonder if Anng and T are on that flight?? Hope they have a good journey home and arrive safely.

Thanks Mel. We are up and checked in and now have to wait until 8am for the restaurant to open so we can buy breakfast.

Safe journey home Anng. Sounds like you have had a lovely break. nOt nice having to get up at 6am though.

Maybe it was the heat today and the sun that brought the migraine on Vera. I hope you have got over it now and will feel mush better int he morning.

Ann you'll love the pom pom makers but you make a lot of dust when you trim them. You can do so much with them and I love mine. I have most of the sizes which oh bought me.

I'd love to see the Downton film but not much hope of me getting to see it from here.
I seem to have a lot of flies in here tonight. I keep swatting them but they are still around.shall have to see what windows are open.

Well my crafting afternoon diod'nt work out as oh decided to empty the hot tub and said about using a shower stool. I went over the end of the garden where there is a shower stall we had up the caravan when a disabled friend came down and stay a few days. It was covered in green and rust coloured mossy stuff so I spent the whole afternoon cleaning it up. Oh has also bought a walker seat which arrived today. I must get him to go to the docs but first I have to get him to sit still for enough time for me to cut his hair.

That’s it folks. All packed and had our last Amaretto. Bag check is early on this one we have to be up just after six as our check in here at the resort is at 7am. Breakfast at 8am and bus pick up at 0915. Flight at 12.15.

It sounds like you have caught up with the washing and putting away of things now Jane. I expect that big tree will take a few chainsawing sessions to get it down and sawn up into logs. It's good that James enjoyed his break with Hannah. He'll soon be seeing his sister again if she is only home for a few days! lol Our runners are just about finished and seem to have stopped growing.

Mandy thanks for the mention of the things coming in Aldi next week and I will pop and have a look as I might see if I can get some pom pom makers. We are doing embroidery after next week so I might see what the fat quarters are like as well. Do any of the girls like making things?

Vera those headaches are horrid so I hope it soon completely goes. You feel so drained afterwards as well. An early night may help.

Evening All

I am already missing the peace and quiet of being away. Next door has had the chain saw going all day today . All the washing is done and put away . James did his early yesterday.He got home here late on Thursday eve after a great time with Hannah in Lisbon. He said it is a wonderful place.He did say that 5 /6 days with his Sister was enough LOL

I haven't heard about all this flooding Frank. it sounds terrible. I hope Ros has enjoyed the film today as we are going to see it too sometime soon.

Vera I hope you nasty migraine soon clears awayand that you soon feel much better.

I have not had chance to go through all the posts as I don'.t seem to have stopped today. Hannah is back tomorrow afternoon until Wednesday. It seems a while since we saw her.

Cottage Pies ready and our Runners simmering so dinner is almost ready. I don't think will get many more Runners now

Thomas is home well he was but now he seems to have gone a hunting. He never left the garden all day either. I shall have to leave it to either Chris or James to call him in tonight as I am bushed and won't be late to bed.

Evening all,

What a beautiful day it's been ,the sun has been really warm and we've been out n the garden this afternoon again making the most of it .

Hope Ros enjoyed Downton this afternoon they keep advertising it on the tele and it looks good ,i don't think they allow you to take your own pop corn in our little cinema ,i suppose they want you to buy theirs .
Hope you manage to get a good nights sleep tonight Frank ,i wonder what's in the box? some thing for the garden maybe .

Ann that sounds a handy little book you've bought from the Works ,next week in Aldi they have lots of craft things ,Wool , Pom Pom makers , knitting needles,crochet hooks ,fat quarters all sorts ,i might get the girls some bits for christmas .

I bet the boys enjoyed the beach trip Mel shame you didn't remember to ask about the shells they would have had a fine old time finding shells ,the girls love it when there's some little rock pools when the tide has just gone out and usually find some little crabs .

Shame you couldn't get the screening all up Gill if you've had the weather we have it would have been an ideal day for doing it .

Hope Jane and Chris got home ok and Thomas is back home too ,i expect Jane's been busy sorting out all the washing .

Vera i hope the migraine soon eases for you .
