Find Ancestors

Just checked in have a few favourite sounds but my favourite is
a little one having a fit of the giggles
OH fell asleep think 3 days watching GD tired him out :-) so am now going to go and feed him check in later (if I dont fall asleep( :-D

Missed you there Jules...........yes I would love it. I have a school at the bottom of the road and can hear them playing :-D

Your fav sound would have to involve food Dea!


Its not stopped belting down all day here :-|

Oh goody! 'Proper' crockery again......thank you Sylvs........ :-D



Thanks for the good wishes folks - will keep you posted.



Dea, if you move a bit closer, you will hear the sound of a grandfather clock ticking - I'm sitting just a few yards from one and, to be honest, I rarely hear it tick or chime because I'm so used to it. I suppose I take it for granted really.



I love the sound of the sea lapping on the seashore......... :-D


Dea's sizzling bacon brought back some memories though......


When my dad got his first car back in the 60's, we would travel to see my grandparents 'down south'. On the way we would pull in for a picnic 'breakfast' in any grassy quiet place which appealed to us. Parking was a lot less restricted in those days and the traffic was less.


From the car, my dad would produce a small primus stove, a kettle, a frying pan, a packet of bacon and other bits and pieces. He did it all himself because my mum had difficulty getting out of the car because of the MS.


He would get the little fire going and put the bacon on to fry gently. It was 'proper' bacon without the white gunge that you get now and the
aroma of that bacon frying stays with me to this day. Absolutely wonderful.


oooooh......I've gorn all nosteralgic....... :-D

Thanks for the lovely breakfast Sylvia - Cynths will be SO pleased to have the 'proper' plates back :-D

Ginns - my favourite sound??

Not really quite sure?? I think, maybe that old fashioned sound of a grandfather clock ticking steadily in a quiet house - reminds me of my childhood ans visits to elderly relatives :-)

Apart from that - perhaps the sound of bacon sizzling in the pan ;-) :-D :-D

Gins....You'd love where i am then as im in the middle of 3 primary schools but do only here them when im in the garden

Capitalist :-P

When I had shops it was the "Kerching" of my cash register.

Nowadays it the "Glug Glug" sound made when port or Sloe Gin is being poured. "Glug Glug" indicates that there is still plenty left in the bottle. ;-)

Right, you bunch of old bones......whats your fav sound?


Mine is, kids in the playground at break....

Hope it all goes well Thurs Linda and Friday Cynthia.

Such a busy lot we are.

Good - I have had the same problem on here for the past few weeks and so had to find a solution!

I don't know what the problem is but it only seems to be on here :-S

Cynthia - Hope Friday goes ok and your OH gains some help from the assessment

I haven't done any work on my FT since about 2010 due to "life" getting in the way just been checking through my records and found that I forgot to update someone who was very helpful to me the thing is I have sent a long PM to one lady and want to copy it to send to this other person but when I go to the message and right click dont get the option to copy and paste anyone got any idea or do I have to just retype the info :-(
I have noticed on the trying to find post that there are a lot of old posts and also people posting and not coming back (pot kettle etc) :-)

Wonderful news LK..... <3


Hoping all goes well with your OH Linda.. <3



My OH has an assessment on Friday to see if there is anything which can help him in the house and then, today, we get an appointment for the Neuro-physiotherapy team. They come to the house for the first appointment.


The thing is, since the new meds, he has been a lot better but, when the effect wears off, he is back to being very slow etc.........Anyway, I'm sure the professionals will know all about the condition.


What a lot we are with our OH's.......... :-S

Hi Linda - hope the scan goes well for OH on Thursday !!

One more day of babysitting eh ?? - I am sure you will be in bed VERY early on Wednesday night ;-) :-D - I love my grandchildren dearly but they do wear me out, especially the 3 year old - I am always ready for bed by the time we get back from taking them home :-)

I think I must be 'getting old' :-(
