Morning Jane didn't see you there. Don't forget to keep the hair this time, you said you needed it to keep the bunnies away.

Sorry to hear you haven't got very good weather. I'm enjoying it while it's last you know what the weather's like in the UK, I think it's the only country where you can have all four seasons in one day :-D :-D. Hope it brightens up for you.

I always check everything Mel, but thanks for saying. Do you know where I can search Scottish records, I can't find a birth and a marriage.

That's strange the email from Ald*, have you tried right clicking on it. In the drop down menu it gives you options on what to do, you might be able to move it to your spam folder from there, or failing that you will be able to delete it. Good luck.

Yes Sandra is very excited and one of the birthday cards arrived this morning. I'm keeping hold of them for her till her birthday, as she's already opened one or two off the family and at this rate she'll have nothing to open on the day. She's still excited and getting more excited by the day. <3

Going back to my tree now
BBL <3

Morning/Evening all
Lucky you Gill.it is cloudy here.I can see just a few little patches of blue and they might just be getting bigger :-D.I hope so.

Frank how is the knee/leg this morning? This happened before with it swelling didn't it?

Well I have things to be getting on with this morning and then it is haircut this afternoon.I will pop back before I go to the hairdressers.

When I logged in this morning BT had changed my inbox colour and I thought I had algy all over it. It was all green with white writing on that I could hardly read. Oh had to change it back to white for me. I have also got an email from Aldi thats spam but it has a square over where you move it to and I can't get rid of it. If you click on where the little square should be it goes to an offer!!

Morning all and evening Kim,

Another nice day here too but still a bit windy out. Got up really early and went back to bed and slept longer than I meant to.

Yes Frank how are you this morning?

Gill make sure if you take something from someone elses tree that they can back it up well with certs. etc as a lot of people are just relly hunters who will put anything they find they think is right on their tree.

I bet Sandra is getting really excited now as they countdown is gettting nearer.

Morning all

Another lovely sunny day.

How's your leg today Frank. Looks like I'm the first one here today.

I've just noticed one of my tree match's I contacted has opened his tree to me, so I'm going to spend some time checking my tree and filling in gaps.

See you all later <3

Night night all see you all in the morning.

No Mandy today??????

Evening all

What a busy day I've had today. I'm still plodding through the washing, just a few more towels to dry in the dryer then I'm done. I prefer to dry them in there rather than out on the line as it makes them soft.

I always colour my own hair Jane but it takes about 4 hours from start to finish with it being down to my waist. I have to run two baths, one to rinse the colour off then another to rinse the conditioner off and each bath takes about half an hour to run. Then it takes me ages to dry my hair and then I straighten it, although I didn't straighten it today because I was so busy with all the bedding and other bits and bobs that needed washing.

I will get the straightener on it tomorrow I actually look like Morticia Addams now as I have a dark colour on it. I only trimmed Sandra's hair to get rid of the dead ends, she has long hair too.

Fancy thinking Mel said she had reported her Christmas tree Frank. Nice answer though Mel, it did make me laugh.
Glad to hear your car passed it's MOT. Quite a bit of money though but better than having the boot come down on your head.

I think it's a good idea to get your leg checked out Frank you don't want to end up having problems walking and be in pain.

Going to watch "The Nightmare Neighbours Next Door" now then off to bed so I'll say
Night Night

Oh has just tod me there shoudld be a meteor shower tonight about 12am to the east. So if any of you are still up take a look. Think he said about twenty an hour.

REPORTED MY CHRISTMAS TREE for loitering on the decking.........ha ha ha.

Am full to the brim with chinese food. Ordered on the phone and collected half an hour later from Holsworthy.

Frank are you still watching Bear Grylls island programs? I have recorded it to watch later.

Afternoon all,

It has turned chilly Jane, I went out to water the pots and baskets and felt cold round my legs, only shorts on.

Just had my curry that Ros made. So I am full for now.

My left leg is swollen from the my knee down to my toes, so I think it's time I contact the hospital again, to find out what's causing it.

Mel my eyesight must be going, I read that you REPORTED YOUR CHISTMAS TREE :-D :-D :-D I thought what's it done now <3 <3 <3


My screen is jumping like mad at the moment, so I will get off before I loose everything.

Have greeted and heard all about the film he saw.He choked up a bit at one point .Bless him.I thought I was the emotional one ,but Chris seems these days to be far more affected than me with certain things.

Gill I have never had the courage to colour my own hair .I do remember putting colour on someones hair here and them kneeling down at the side of the bath to have it all raised off.I just can't think who it was.It might have been my Sister.
I forgot to ring the hairdressers to save cut hair :-S...and I have just seen 1 big bunny and a young one. :-S :-S Chris has gone down the garden to investigate and see if he can see where they are coming through.

Frank No I wasn't standing on my head lol I just don't understand why pics from my phone come through upside down.I emailed it to myself to start off and it was the right way up..I might take the next pic with the phone held sideways and see if that makes a difference when I forward it.It's a real mystery.

Oh Gill I bet Sandra can't wait for her big birthday :-D..Do you have to do a big hair cut or just a trim for Sandra? I will never take a pair of scissors to someones hair .Not after the time I cut my Dads hair and managed to take a big chunk out :-S :-S.Luckily he had very curly hair so the curls covered up the bald patch :-D :-D :-D

Back from Fitz (not tipsy),just a couple of glasses today.Good job too as I have just been making a fancy batter and gravy to go with a Toad in the hole.The batter has mustard and Thyme in and the gravy is made with beef stock,roasted red onions,Damson Jam,and Balsamic Vinegar .I have just got it all prepared now :-D
Lord know what it will be like.
Chris will probably be on his way home from Northampton now.
I was so cold sitting out at Fitz's I had to put a jumper on when I got home....Now I'm hot :-S

Mel bet you hated forking out that money just for a couple of struts and bulbs(plus the testing of course) .Car parts of any sort seem to be so expensive.But at least you know the boot lid is not going to come crashing down on you now.

Oh Chris is home .Must have been a fairly short film.Better go and greet :-D :-D

Cars back. Passed it's MOT but he had to replace a couple of bulbs and charge me for the struts and the puncture and the whole lot came to £211. The struts were £90. Might need a new tyre soon.

Thanks for the pics again Frank and they came out ok this time. I like your cockrel in the flower bed. Don't think I have seen that before.

No little parcel yet Mandy....................boo hoo :-(

I'm glad i'm not the only one with the upside down pic!! Can't really turn my screen to view it but I suppose I shall have to save it and perhaps I can view it then.

Has Sandra got long hair Gill??

Good you have sorted your sunglasses Jane and will you have them before your little holiday? Not too squiffy coming back from Fitz's I hope........... ;-) ;-)

We repotted the Christmas tree this morning before lunch. The new pot too nearly a whole 80 litre bag of compost!! It will have to come in on the sack barrow in future as I am sure oh cannot lift it now with his back. It was bad enought when he started filling around the old pot to get no disturbance on the root ball. I had to take over and he tamped it down as I fill the gap.

Better let the bantams out as they are complaining away in their house and run.

Frank my cosmos only took a few days to come up. Not even a week, I was so surprised.

Afternoon everyone

What a lovely day it is today. Got my bedding on the line drying nicely and tons more to go lol. Might as well take advance of the good weather.

I've been colouring my hair this morning and now have the conditioner on it which I'll leave for about an hour before washing off. That's the problem when I colour my hair it makes it very dry and hard to brush, so the longer the conditioner is on the better.

I've messaged you the info you ask for Frank.

What a lovely picture you've sent Jane, although it came through upside down so I had to turn my laptop round to see it properly. Ok if I lived in Australia lol :-D :-D. You are lucky having such a wonderful view from your house.

OH is much better today and wanted to get out in the garden, he did a bit of weeding and was going to water the garden but I said I would do it later as he looked a bit tired and to be honest I really think he should be taking it easy until the antibiotics start working but he's not one for sitting around and won't be told. Men Hey you've gotta love em ;-) ;-).

Hope your car passes the MOT Mel. I remember the fuss we had when we did ours.

New shoes Jane how nice and now you've ordered your new glasses the old ones will turn up. Isn't that always the way. Have a lovely time at Fitz this afternoon.

Well, I'd better get off, Sandra wants me to cut her hair so it looks nice for her birthday she is so excited. It's like when she was little waiting for Santa. Bless her.
BBL <3

Morning sweet things, evening Kim,

Yes a beautiful morning here also. My photo was up side down also. Were you standing on your head when you took it :-D :-D :-D

Had a laugh with Ros this morning. She was replying to Carolyn's email. I said I am going for a shower now, you can join me when you are ready. THE SECOND WORD WAS OFF :-D :-D :-D ;-) ;-) ;-)

Madam set some cosmos they other day, how long do they take to come through. ?? I have two dozen Carnations that I grew from seed, they are about six inches high now, so will find some space to put those.

Have been down and opened greenhouse door and uncovered my beans.

Enjoy your lunch today Jane, and not too much wine !!!

It sounds like Sandra is looking forward to her birthday. Will get a card in the post from "uncle Frank"

I filled four Coconut shells yesterday, with lard and bird seeds. What a mess, but they are hanging in both front, and back gardens, and getting plenty of attention from the birds.

Sunglasses ordered and 1 pair of shoes bought :-D :-D.I haven't mentioned the shoes to Chris yet LOL
I don't know why the photo came upside down Mel.William had the same :-S.It is strange.
Right I need to do a bit of hoovering before I go down to see Fitz...BB this afternoon

Jane I replied to your email. The pic came out upside down.
