Hannah said she got caught up in a load of football fans in London earlier today.Found it a bit scary as they were doing the chanting thing ,and the opposition were on the other side of the road.She legged it quick back to the flat she is staying in and said she would wait until the Match started before she went out again lol

I don't like Lamb Stew.I like lamb but just not in a stew.We have Lamb Leg Steaks tomorrow.I saw something yesterday ,and it was to mix a little red wine,mixed herbs and garlic and put over the Lamb before cooking.Sounds tasty I think.My Risotto is cooking now and will be ready in about 20 mins.I'm flipping starving,so hope it turns out alright .

Oops sorry .forgot to say it is now 19 . 00 hr

Hi All
Been busy today, went to do some food shopping that OH forgot last night ,I hadn't put it on the list DAUGHTER NO1 BIRTHDAY CAKE (.my fault really)
She'll be 30 on Tuesday but we will be all together tomorrow so we will celebrate then, as we won't all be together on Tuesday.

Then went to see dad this morning at 10.00am, with OH and took him out for a run in the car around the country lanes, saw the cows, sheep & horses, dad just sat in the front seat, nodding off sometimes.
He was calm, wether it was the medication he is on or just a good time of the day no one knows?
we went passed his old house and my house and there was no recolection at all.
It was too cold to get out of the car and walk,

This afternoon had a ride out to the big Dob**es Garden Centre at Sterling, it's looking really lovely all done up for christmas, bought a few Red T lights and a centre peice for my dinning room table, also some fancy sweets as presents for christmas

17.22pm

Been sorting a few bits and pieces out and cleaning the barometer (sp) and the hall bim bam clock. You should have seen what came of both!!!!!!!! ginger brown muck from all the ears of smoking!! Don't think they had had a good clean in 22 years. Spick and span now except I have'nt cleaned the weights on the clock with brasso.

Afternoon all,

15-47pm

Been busy sorting out old tins of paint from the shed ,there must have been at least twenty tins with just a little paint left in them ,we've put them in the skip its still here ,was supposed to have been taken away yesterday !!!
Also hubby as been back in the loft and got more bits from there !!

Its been foggy here all day ,went to Te*co's first thing and bought some books for Christmas presents and a toy for Katie's birthday next month .

Glad you enjoyed Jane McD last night Ann, i think we have one of her cd's some where.
Gammon steak for tea tonight then we're off to sisters for a natter ,before she goes to work.

Ann I'm glad you enjoyed Jane Mc Donald.She is quite a character I think.She isn't really my cup of tea though.I remember seeing her on that programme when she was working on the Cruise Ship.
What a dreary old day it is.Fitz has just been up to get some pictures of the Owl that I printed off for him to show his Mum.He has now gone to get logs in for his fire.

The time now is 13 51.

13.06pm

My GR has changed again to the new format overnight. Not seeing the time of the posts IS a pain. What was wrong with putting the time, or is it because of the time difference in other countries? Mel, I can feel the fresh (paint) air whistling through your place as you write. I bet you are having a ball sorting and seeing all the changes you are making. You must be sleeping really well after all this exertion.

Better go and do something with this wet washing now.....lol.

Afternoon All,

12.47

Still misty/foggy here........no chance of the washing going out.....AGAIN! OH is on his way to Bury, nr Manchester to watch his team. He asked me again if I wanted to come with him........I just turned and looked out of the window at the fog.......'that'll be a no then', he said. lol

That's pleasing news about your brother Frank. Hope he is soon much better. Good idea marking the clock for your sister so she knows when to ring. My FIL (first OH) went to sleep in the afternoon once, woke up and set off for his doctor's appt for 9.00am. Got there and they were shut as it was 9.00pm.

Fiona, a shame Sofia can't visit your dad now, but quite the right thing to do not to frighten her. Little minds remember things, even subconsciously.

Well, we had a horrid foggy journey to see Jane McD last night. There was a Tigers match on too so the city was snarled up with traffic for that as well! BUT the performance she gave was FAB-U-LOUS! I liked her on Loose Women and had seen her perform a song or two on that, wasn't sure OH would like it. Well, he said he thoroughly enjoyed it and was clapping away. lol She sang mostly from the 60s and 70s, good old Motown stuff I love, but also sang songs she had written and did one opera song beautifully. I hadn't realised she trained in opera for 2 years. Beautiful sparkly frocks and some great jokes, all the seats were sold and everyone was on their feet to give her a standing ovation at the end. This weekend is the end of a 2 year tour and she said her frocks are getting a bit minging now!! lol She is taking time off for a while for a rest and to write some more songs. Glad I went.

10.44am. shows how slow i am with one finger. jane beat me to iT!!!!

10.29am
I'm just out of the shower, sitting with a towel round me. Ros is off to see her friend for a gaunt round Morris##s.

Right arm not good this morning, lots of jabing pains down into my wrist. so trying not to use it to make capital letters. bear with me.

Everybody out this morning,christmas shopping, i'm pleased to say Ros has only got one to get. i had my first xmas card this morning from Australia. a very old school pal, she the one who sends a lot of jokes val and keith.

Lewis is off to Twickenham today, to see England v Samoa. then the family are going up to rutland from toddington. 75 miles for a meal with Conrad and JAN. it's nice the boys meet up on ocassions, better than the telephone.
