Morning SUNBEAMS, evening Kim,

Yes Mel, I turned over and watch those 14 women, what a mess they got in, Gawd knows how they will survive. I thought the JADE who went home was a right little madam. She must have known what to expect. FIFTEEN minutes of FAME :-D :-D

Great morning here, blue sky and a slight breeze, I think it will warm up later.

I managed to sleep until 5.50 this morning, and nodded off again till 7.30.

Madam is going shopping again with Carolyn, as she needs to get some bits to take to Tenerife. ANY EXCUSE !!!

All showered and ready for the nurse, then I might sit in the garden with my book.

Alan has been to collect the weeping cherry tree, and will put it in the spinney. When Tony has done the plaques I will give him one to put with the tree.

Have a good day.

Just watched the girls on The Island. What a daft lot and ones gone home already. Fancy not all staying together one of the worse things you could do.

Yes Frank I was a West Ham fan because oh and my son supported them but football dos'nt do anything for me I am afraid.

Going to watch Banished now as I record that.

Night night........

I see you are a "WEST HAM" fan then Mel, That's our theme tune :-D :-D :-D COME ON YOU HAMMERS.

Feeling better this evening after a very lazy day. Ros cooked a very nice stir fry with noodles. Went down a treat. She washed and wiped up and clean all down.

She's watching East Enders, so I'm out of it for a while.

Jane I never have a "HOT" shower. So I can't put it down to that. I think it was just bending over, it takes ages for me to get socks on !!!

More expense then Mel , a new pressure washer. Has it got all the attachments ? My new one only has two wands. I know some have no end of bits for doing so many things.

Poor Janice having an emergency on her birthday. She's got some pluck to put it off :-( :-(
I'm at the nurse tomorrow for my testosterone injection 11.40 am. I must tell her to put a plaster on my bum as I had blood all over my u'pants last time.

It's a very still evening out there tonight. There's talk of a light frost inland. All my beans are under fleece blankets, so should be safe.

I hope I can be of help in the garden tomorrow, will have to see.

Oh dear Frank ,perhaps you've been doing to much ,a day in the chair sounds just right
you take care <3

And poor Gill not to good with a virus , you've had a lot going on with the house sale and looking after your mum ,hope your soon feeling better Gill and can join us on here again <3

Poor James has an expensive day then having to pay his fillings :-(

Better post as the page keeps jumping about :-S don't know why !!!

At least you now have a clean loo Mel :-D Now I am going to be having that blasted tune in my head :-S..Isn't it strange how when you hear the mention of a song or tune it just sticks in your mind and you can't get shot of it.it just goes around and around.

James is back from the Dentist.He had 2 of the 3 fillings done .He doesn't fancy my nice Creamy Mushrooms and Rice...So is going to have a ready Chilli con Carne.Chris can have the Mushrooms with his meal....Can't let them go to waste.
It has turned out a lovely evening.Chris is still sat out reading with a glass of wine.
Tomorrow morning we will be off to Olney to pick up Hannnah's Indian wall hanging .
Might just pop into the nice Deli there :-D

¨‘°ºOO.o° I'm forever blowing bubbles...........

That just came into my mind. I don't know why!!

I hav'nt got into anything this afternoon after bringing fish and chips home at 2pm after collecting the new pressure washer and getting chicken food. I think I was so full I had to sit at the pooter and play a few games of cards till it went down.

Then I was going to wash up but oh was using the new toy on the pond filters and bits so I could'nt wash up. I went and cleaned the loo instead after he came in for a rest.

Poor Janice with an abscess. when I get one I have a drop of Jamesons whiskey and hold it around the tooth with the abscess and that usually clears it by the next day.

Poor Gill.She sounds really poorly.......Gill I hope you soon feel much better and are able to join us again soon <3 <3 <3

Frank did you have your shower too hot?.Maybe you tried to get dressed too quickly afterwards.I know if I have my bath water too hot `i feel faint and have to have a lie down.
I remember a few times when I was younger probably early teens I would have the bath water so hot that I did actually pass out.Dad would hear a thump on the ceiling and would come up to find me on the bathroom floor :-S

The sun has only just come out here.It has been overcast all day.My Sister says she has had wall to wall sunshine all day.Her Birthday has been a bit spoilt by having an emergency visit to the Dentist first thing this morning.She has an abscess .The Dentist wanted to take the tooth out there and then but she said "You can't it's my Birthday " LOL.So she has antibiotics and it will be taken out on the 21st.She is going to London tomorrow for the weekend to stay with her Son Matthew and his girlfriend Kelsey.

My James will be in the Dentists chair right now having his fillings done.Not good so late in the day as he won't be able to eat for ages.I was trying to think what to cook for him that would be soft.I decided on Creamy Mushrooms and Rice.That should slide down easily.
The garden has been watered..Everything is so dry.

Afternoon all,

Happy Birthday Janice 21 today again :-D :-D

I had a disastrous morning this morning. After my shower I was getting dressed and suddenly felt myself passing out. My pulse was going fifty to the dozen, and the blood was rushing to my head. I was putting my socks on at the time. So I laid myself down on the bed. Ros came in 20 minutes later to find out what I was doing for so long. I laid for an hour, and felt a lot better.

I have been banned from the Garden and Kitchen today, so all I have done is sit in the armchair, reading and watching Judge Rinder. (he makes me laugh) !!!

Glad you have heard from Gill Mel, If you are looking in Gill. All out love and get better soon.

One of our Poodles hated to be on her own, so slept in her box at the side of the bed. One of the other miniature ones slept behind Ros's pillow, or in the blanket fold in the bottom of the bed, where it tucks in the bottom of the mattress .
I do hope she soon settles in Liz. I know she will get plenty of love and affection.

The sky has cleared here now, and it's warm sunshine. Ros is still in the garden planting border plants, and freshening up the earth. Once she starts, she never leaves off. I look down the garden and there she is perched on her little stool bent over in the borders. She's also cleaned the greenhouse shelves and stacked the flower pots.

I have been able to make and take her a cuppa. I am now going back to my armchair.

Enjoy the rest of your day, see you later.

Our Gill has a virus which she got the day her mum went home. She has a headache, sore throat and is very breathless. She was going to try and get on here today but I said I would tell you all and she was to rest. She also said she has done a lot of sleeping. Best thing really when you feel like that and a good healer too. She thought it was hayfever at first.

So love and wishes for a speedy recovery now Gillx <3

O yes HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANICE <3 <3 <3 Love and kisses.

I see the new baby got you up in the night then Liz. She will soon settle if she is with you at night. Must be a bit daunting for her at first. She is so lovely though I expect she will soon settle at night.

Have to go to Holsworthy to buy a new pressure washer.................................

Oh Liz she must be missing her Mum and siblings :-(..Chester used to cry all night in his 'cage'.I couldn't bare it.I would lie on the floor just inside the lounge where he couldn't see me but could hear my voice(he was in the kitchen)...It made no difference :-S.it was bliss the first night of peace :-D :-D

Happy Birthday to Janice <3 <3

Morning Mandy, not doing anything really special for OH birthday, He is at work till about 3 then Katherine and Jake probably will be coming down for dinner, not sure if we'll see Victoria and crowd as they popped in yesterday after shopping in Hamilton, Sofia stayed with me for an hour or so, She hates shopping and like most kids they always want something.

Better go and get my coffee, I had a phone call this morning it's Katherine day off work ,and they want to go out to Glasgow and could I do some doggy sitting, their leaving me Kiah lead so If I fancy a walk for some exercise I can take Kiah out , more than likely she will take me for a walk, she is a strong dog when she pulls, :-)

We had rather a vocal night!!!!Cassie slept well till about 12.30, and then woke up and HOWLED!!!! In the end she ended up in Millie's old bed down by me!!! We then got some peace!!! This morning she is bright and breezy (we're NOT!!) Hopefully tonight will be better!
Lucky the weather is so good, every little helps!
Maureen, I've just had a pic sent back to me that I've tried to send you. Sorry about that, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't!!!

Morning all,

Happy Birthday to Frank Fiona ,are you doing any thing special today?

And Happy Birthday to Janice too .
Hope that toe is healing Jane .

Yes i'am feeling better now Mel and the family are all ok too .


Bright and sunny here ,i might do a bit of weeding on the front garden i just need motivation ,should have bought some when i went shopping :-D

I wonder if Cassie settled ok last night ,takes a while some times for them to settle in after leaving mum and brothers and sisters .

Well this gardening won't do its self .....but i think i'll have a coffee first :-D

Morning/Evening All

Happy Birthday to your Frank Fiona and Happy Birthday to my Sister too :-D :-D

I wonder if the sun will break through today.It is very hazy.I actually had a fairly good night last night and was struggling to open my eyes by 8.30 when Chris brought me a cuppa.By the time I got round to drinking it ,it was just luke warm.

I have taken off the big heavy feather and down duvet but it is so heavy I can't heave it up onto the washing line for a good airing and shaking to try and get the feathers all back in the right places.Chris will have to give me a hand when he gets back from the Bank.
My toe is weeping a bit still this morning so it is flip flop sandals .I won't be going anywhere today.
Frank you will have to have a catnap later.It catches up with you doesn't it when you keep having disturbed nights :-S

I wonder if little Cassie has slept through the night .Liz and Ian will be over the moon with her :-D She is soon cute and such a lovely colour.

Coffee time :-D

Morning all and evening Kim,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRANK
Hope Fiona spoils you today.

Lovely day here yet again too not a cloud in the sky............

I have some seeds to sow today. Dwarf Beans in pots. They did well in pots last year and I can keep them on the decking away from all these HUGE rabbits we seem to be collecting.

I do hope Gill's mum is ok or anyone else in the family. It's not like her not to have a good natter with us unless something is up.

How's the toe this morning Jane. A little easier I hope.

Forgot to ask Mandy how she was yesterday after her tummy upset. Has it passednow Mandy? How's the rest of the family?

Morning Frank,
thanks for birthday wishes to my Frank, yes you're right about the Key case,
they are so handy I have a brown leather one, with 2 apartments and a pocket in the front. keep my keys in the big part and have the keys to daughter's houses in the small pocket at the front,
OH has a black one and the hooks don't take long to break and the linings gone from inside. he will just have to take care where he is putting his key's incase a hook breaks and he looses a key.

Morning all, evening Kim.

HI TO SHIRL, NO SNOW HERE JUST WALL TO WALL SUNSHINE. THE SUN SHINES ON THE RIGHTOUS lol

That blooming time clock in my brain went off again this morning 3.37 am until 4.24 am. I was awake proper at 6.30 and up by 7.30.

Little overcast this morning, but I think it will clear.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to my namesake. Are those key wallets the ones with a row of hooks for the keys and two flaps of leather that fold over. ??? I had one for years, they save your pockets, and you know where your keys are.

What great news from Liz, the photo's look great. I bet he will be spoilt by the G' Children. :-D :-D :-D

Not the best of matches last night but L'pool won. So gill will be pleased. They had run out of my beer, so I had to have something else. :-( :-( :-(

Must get Ros to buy some LARD so I can mix seed with it and fill the coconuts, they have completely emptied them, and the fat balls are almost gone. Greedy Starlings, the blackbirds sit under the feeding station picking up the bits ;-) ;-)

Lets hope S S have some answers for you O.H. Ann, The old chap has to have some help at 94. why do they need a paper every day, there's only rubbish in most of it. Why not watch the news channel and save that walk everyday.

Time for more tea and a bacon and egg, with sliced cold new pots fries, tomato and beans.
I'M FEELING HUNGRY. !!!
