Thanks Sylvs, I think I will have a light breakfast today......erm.....

Eggy bread. Bacon. Tomatoes. Toast. That should keep me going for an hour or two :-D :-D


Thank heaven's it's a calm and dry day for a change......I can see that we will have some plant pot picking up to do :-S


Not sure what is in store for the weekend weatherwise, but a few years ago, I bought OH a 'fun weather stick'. It is fastened onto the garage wall. When it lifts upwards, the weather is going to be fine. When it goes downwards, it indicates rain. It's pointing downwards at the mo :-(

I think it's more reliable than the weather forecasters on TV!

Thank you Sylvia.

I will do me some of my special tomato toast to nibble on while my bacon is cooking, then I will have my bacon in a tomato toast sandwich...... luverly !!! <3

Does OH's cousin's husband have close family with him Sylvia?

Hi Dea & Cyns...

You are probably tucked up in bed by now.

I just had a lovely layered salad for lunch followed by some fresh blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and cherries!

Am trying to be good and am rejoing weight watchers tomorrow as I really need to get myself a lot slimmer and far more healthy this year.

Nite nite Cynths !!!

Hello Gracie.........and Dea (who has been in hiding!)

I wish they had moving emoticons such as rolling eyes etc......they are so funny.


Anyway, here I am....gorn........night all. ~~~~~~~

Hi Renes - How are you doing ??

Dea Xxx

Good news about your friend :-D

Cynths - So VERY pleased that you friend is doing so well !!!

Dea Xxx

Hello Gracie - I think they might take his Christmas hat off soon !!!

Dea Xxx

Morning all, hope you are well...lovely weather here today :-D wonder if they will return the normal smiley face rather than the big cheesy grin!

Good to hear that about your friend, C xxxx

And there was me about to suss out a good coffee shop !!! :-(



The wind has eased now thank goodness. I know what you mean about the roof blowing off Gins....the insurance companies must be mad busy at the moment.


I have just had my friend on the phone. She is sounding happy tonight. A physio has been to see her today and said that she couldn't believe the difference in her. She had last seen my friend when she was so poorly last year. Definitely talking of her going home as soon as she is a little more mobile. :-D


Is Dea quiet today or is it me??? Grandchildren day perhaps? :-S

Hi Gins

It's 8-10 hours flying time from here to London, plus waits in airports

This week is still part of High Season rates ............. your schools are still on holiday, although all of ours went back on Tuesday :-D

The cheapest rate the travel agent could find on a scheduled airline was leaving at 1 pm on Friday, and going Vancouver -> Calgary, Calgary ->London. London->Manchester.

Cost increases tremendously for Friday evening!

He could possible have got a cheaper rate on Air Transat, which does have scheduled flights ................ but too many of our friends and relations have had bad experiences with them.

So, we stick to AirCanada ..... BA and British Midland also have flights, but are much more expensive

Missed you there Sylvs.....only flown to Canada once and cant remember the time it took?

Those flight prices that you mentioned seem hefty, cant OH get anything cheaper?

Thank you all for your wishes.

We are currently waiting to hear from her husband to find out the best timing for OH to be over there.

Freeview you get about 100ish free channels and the same again with Freesat but they are in full HD, thats why we are having a dish fitted

I agree Ja..x.............you may as well get the repeat rubish for free!

And youre not quite over 75...... yet ;-)
