OOOOerrr - and I bet he had 'sucked it to death' and got it all soggy before he offered it ???................... typical !!! ;-) :-D

Dea Xxx

Me and JB tried for years Dea :-(

He was the most wonderful little man.....smiled all day, he took a shine to me and offered his rusk to me :-S

Do I hear you getting 'broody' Ginns ??

Dea Xxx ;-) :-D :-D

It was a massive family thing Cyns....lots of kids, babies and a huge mix of cultures. Live bands/food and lots of chatting

It was at JBs work place (Sharrow)

The most cute toddler I have ever seen (Mixed race. Irish/Asian) he was so lovely, the fab Asian skin and the smilin Irish eyes...lucky boy


...........break someones heart one day!

They are 'tight as a drum' inflated Ginns as my grandchildren can testify when they keep getting them out and 'whacking' each other with them' !!

I have been rescuing them from them on and off for several years now but they are still intact ! :-D

Dea Xxx

Gosh, it's hard work getting you to go over to the other side Dea. Glad you enjoyed your balloon . I've left you a reply 'over there'! :-D



Linds, if there's anything I love, it's looking at old family photos. :-D



Beer Festival? Sounds like a man thing to me :-S Glad you were able to maintain some self control Gins.... ;-)

Poor a glass for me Linds :-D

Edit: or even pour

They are still inflated?


Wow

Goodness knows what 'noxious' fumes they will emit if ever they pop !!! ;-) :-0

Dea Xxx

Enjoy.......... Linds.....................

Cynthia,

Just seen your greetings on the dark side - thank you !! Looking at that balloon just made me remember - One of them MUST be a record. In my cupboard I have 2 of those silver helium balloopns with writing on them - all puffed up as tight as they were when I first got them. One was from my 25th wedding Anniversary bouquet - (I have now been married for 41 years) !!! The other was from my 40th birthday celebrations - (I am now 61) !!

Hi Everyone
I was out for lunch with some of my Mums cousins we meet up 3 or 4 times a year when the cousin that stays down south comes to visit.

I had posted them an old family wedding photo and asked them to tell me who was who so was good to get them together so they could agree lol

Going to have dinner now with a glass or two of wine :-)

Where are you lot hiding then?


Just got back from beer festival, having drank only tea and water. The other lot made up for my abstinence

Glad you got your self sorted re the beds - I bet OH can't wait for his to arrive!

Sylvia - hope you are not too sore now and that you enjoy the time with your visitors.

Dea Xxx

Well, there is no blue sky here Cynthia - just the usual wet wet rain ! :-(

I am having some tomato toast just now and then I will come back for a taste of everything on that lovely brunch menu.

I can't see any 'fishy things' to avoid so it is going to be a real feast today ;-) :-D
