Hi everyone,
Havea good day.
I was listening to radio this morning about the Furniture shop in Croyden. Dreadful.
I'm going to a funernal mass this morning for an old teacher who died recently. She taught me nearly 50 years ago!

Good morning George, you have a great day too.
That is so true Dermot.
Rita, I could have cried when the poor man whose shop was burning was speaking on sky news last night, he was devasted.
Have a terrific Tuesday friendly Threaders, and I hope your OK Jean.

Get well soon Linda <3
It seems strange that it was 30 years ago that the riots happened last time.
I hope it gets sorted soon. I feel sorry for anyone who'se lost thier home. I see trouble has reached Birmingham. I'm listening to the news.

Hi All,

Maddie all those places you mentioned are distant from me, about 60miles at least Tiverton is. But a nice run down to me for a cream tea is always welcome :-D

I have just had a PM from our Linda, she's been very busy although not too well either , but she'll be popping in soon .

I'm still watching the news live , wow its getting out of hand now spreading all over the country :-S
Rita I agree with you get the Armed forces out to sort them out.

Can someone make dinner for Shelly & her lot she's got no food in her house !! I have to help my friend with her tree ...LOL :-D

Thank you Marilyn.for looking up Sheldon. my sister and I laugh as one of our McCallum married a Sheldon and we have a large family named Sheldon/ someone got intouch with me a few years ago and asked if he could log our Sheldons into his website he has thousands of them listed.
we told him it was OK.

Shelly poor you in the thick of it. I know what I would like to do with the so and so.s. young boys aged 8 and upwards are involved. your not telling me when they have looted and go home with there stolen goods their parents dont know they were looted from some one. I am sick to death of hearing these do gooder saying they are only doing this as they are out of work , poor and have nothing to do. . so are many more but they dont loot or do damaged to people properties. yet they are contacting each other on blackberrys to tell them where the trouble is and come and join in the looting. poor with a blackberry phone I dont think so.
I say call the army out now to work with the police..

Evening all,

Scary or what?

There is trouble in Enfield, Tottenham, Lewisham, Peckham, Hackney. Most of Tottenham and Harringay are cordoned off. There may be some trouble in Croydon too. Keep turning on the rolling news.

I may be down in Devon next year, now that I have this family tree bug. My crew came from Bradninch, Morchard Bishop, Cheriton, Tiverton, Silverton and somewhere else that escapes me for the mo. lol

I just fancy wandering around the graveyards looking for familiar names.

The sky over north London is black. I cant quite decide if it is the dusk, rain or smoke.

Everyone keep well and safe.

Battening down the hatches.

I've never smooked Dermot :-)
Talking of health does anyone here go to a gym?
I'm toying with the idea of going to a gym - not because I need to lose weight-
I only weigh 7 stones but because I don't get enough exercise and could do more :-S I've got visions of me slacking off during the winter and it being a waste of money!!!!

“Is it not both great vanity & uncleanness that at table, a place of respect, of cleanliness, of modesty, men should not be ashamed to sit filling their pipes & puffing the smoke one to another, making the filthy smoke & stink thereof to exhale athwart the dishes & infect the air?

It is a custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs and, in the black stinking fumes thereof, nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless”.

That is what King James wrote in 1604 lamenting the introduction of tobacco into England. Of course, we still regret its continuing use in fewer words - ‘Smoking can kill’.

Shelley I heard the news. It must be frightening for you. Stay safe.
I'm just having fish and chips for tea. I'm just having a break because they always give me far too much.
I'm feeling pretty pleased iwith myself because I managed to find a dress for this BBQ. I quite like it as well. Basically it's a denim shirt dress with lots of buttons!
