Capri I love it there Maddie. it is expensive isnt it ? but so beautiful.when I went to Pompeii it was the hotest month they had . had for years. I felt quiet ill with the heat.

I just had a phone call from my friend in Norfolk she said two of the hospital had shut because of a virus outbreak, I didnt see anything on the news.

I am going to do a hot drink then take a tablet and hope I get some sleep.

It could be the same one Stephen. Tmorrow the programme comes from The Pavillion in Brighton. It's on Friday and I think all of next week.
Just had a doze after reading some of War and Peace. I've nearly finished part one!

Patricia,

Not sure if it's this ' Queen Victoria' programme or another one that is in the planning.

I supplied the BBC with a lot of the information about her vist to the Trossachs area of Scotland. She actually bought a house overlooking Loch Katrine.

One of the Big Houses she visited was called Drunkie House. Not a very fitting name for a Royal visitor to stay in.The owner changed it to Invertrossachs House before Victoria arrived.

On my last visit to Invertrossachs House, Queen Victorias photographs were still on display. That was a few years ago, ownership has changed and I don't know the new folk.

Must get my wife to watch out for the programmes.

Marilyn, I'd hate you to forget what rain is like!
Im watching Royal Upstairs Downstairs but I prefer the Book programme shown last week at 6.30pm.
Enjoy your fish and chips Maddie.

Stephen I have read the questionaire three times and was not sure what bits I needed to fill in.? I said ti Sheila my sister I cannot recall my jobs when I worked in 1944 the first job I had.. I did a lot of temp jobs. she said stop worrying and emailed me with all the pages I need to answer, as my printer has gone wrong I have filed her instructions. my printer will do nothing no printing or copying or scanning if I type and print it all comes out blank pages. I paid just under £100 for this Kodak printer and it has gone wrong three times. last week my son came over as the photo copying had lines down it like bars, he sorted that out, it was working fine then it went completely so my son is coming over Saturday. he said he will check it over and if it is not working then he is taking it back to PC World I have had it 9 months on 18th of this month,
we checked on the internet and he said some people have had trouble with the heads going so maybe this has happened to mine. it is so annoying.
I honestly feel everything is against me at the moment what with my sleepless nights the wrong tablets the ear problem which still comes and goes and a nose bleed this morning I had to go and lay down.



Malta you need to be a walker there everything is stone steps up and up and rough under foot. so if your not able to managed that then I would not go there.

Goodness me, Jean missed my posting as well. I am here Jeniwren.

Ahhh it's Scarlett's birthday, " A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE ONE".
Sorry Jean I didn't realise it was her birthday, or I would have popped a card in the post for her, give her (((((((((((( BIG HUGS)))))))))) for me please.
It's not long now till it's your birthday as well is it.

Cath it's heartening to hear that your brother is progressing well.
I hope you sent your sick note to Stephen, for being absent without leave yesterday. If not he will have you on jankers, in the guard house.

Oooh Pauline, you nearly did a Mary Poppins this morning then,when you went to close the garage door. "Lets go fly a kite, up to the highest height"
I hope the wind has dropped a little at your end of the country. Mind you, it's a very breezy day here, I put the washing out on the line, and spent most of the drying time,out in the graden,making sure they hadn't blown away.

Hope you are all well back home, funny how you CAN miss your own home ,but I am grateful for being in the warm weather.

Morning everyone, a cold and windy day here. hope you all had a peaceful night.
Thank you for the birthday wishes and pictures for Scarlett. it is hard to believe that a whole year has gone, time has passed so quickly, or is that just because I'm old?
Rita, hope you had a good sleep last night.
Mo, where are you, haven't seen you for a while.

Breakfast is ready for anyone who wants it, sorry it is late.

Cereal, porridge or fruit

Bacon, eggs, sausage, mushrooms all on hot plate.

Toast and hot rolls.

Tea or coffee.

Hope evryone who has been poorly is now feeling better.
Prayers and warmest thoughts for you all

Go with God and in good health.
Jean xx.

Morning all.

Good news about your brother, Cath, really pleased about that.

Hope all our other invalids are feeling a little better today.

It's wild outside, nearly got blown away when I went out at 5.30 to close the garage door after hubby went to work.

Maddie's in the money, it won't cost you much to get a round in for this thread Maddie, I think there's only 2 of us that drink. Mind you, it wouldn't last long if you went shopping with Marilyn.

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY SCARLETT
Hope she has a lovely day Jean.

Rita I thought of you when I read my sister's census form and I was pleased when I saw that I could be English!
I've been watching the footie. Spurs are through to the quarter finals of the Champions League. Harry Redknapp is the first English manager to do so.

Hi All.

Stevey boy.....I had thongs but they are the most uncomfortable things to wear... gave me an itchy sore bum !! No Comments Please ..LOL

Now Maddie , Malta was not my favourite place , but the Gozo Island is worth a visit a short trip in a ferry.......now that's pretty ,
LIZ Purple knows all about the Island of Malta ....worth asking her as her sons rellies come from there.

Going for another walk.....then my evening meal awaits ...
