Rita, The way it's going I won't be able to retire becuase the government keep on putting the retirement age up!
Dermot Inearly didn't understand the thing about fruit flies and I'm English!
I hope Jean and Mo are feeling better than they were yesterday.
Linda I hope the gas man arrived ok.
Out to do some food shopping x

Hi everybody, hope Mo and Jean are feeling a little better today.

Rita, you and your family are still having more than your fair share of troubles aren't you? I was hoping the New Year would bring you all a bit better luck.

Dermot, doesn't sound like Fr Mack was a very nice person.

Hope everyone has a good day, I've got to go out again.

Happy Anniversary Shelly.


Edit: I'm going to have a banana now, hope it doesn't have any fruit flies on it!!

Explain this pun to a foreign student trying to learn our English language:

'Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.'

Morning everyone. Pat dont wish your life away. when you retire it goes by quicker than a deep breath.
Shelly your up nice and early. hope you have breakfast before you go out.
Maddie another one out before she is up. weather here isnt too bright either.
Catherine lucky you going to work. I wish I was young enough to go. but when you go out to work you look forward to retiring. some people are never satisfied I am speaking about me now. lol
Jean and Mo hope your both feeling alittle better today. miss you on the thread.

see you later
Rita.

Mornming to all who are not up yet.

Morning to everyone
Well flitting in & flitting off. Everyone is busy today.
I'm just waiting for the Gas man to come and do our annual service. Sometime between 8:00 and 1:00. So not going far yet.

Need to fit in a walk, seems to be helping a bit as I have lost a pound this week. That is hard going for me. Wonder if I walk twice as far I will loose twice as much.

Did some more research yesterday evening. Found some extendedd family but can't find the ones that are missing closer to the tree.

Have a good day everyone. Hoping Jean is a little better and Mo, good to see you back yesterday and healing thoughts always for Rita and her family

Fr Mack.

Fr Mack sported a silk hat over his flowing beard & a fine dash he cut in his velvet waistcoat & cut-away overcoat, sitting up on the side of his side-car knocking sparks out of the road going into town every Wednesday or was it Thursday? No, it was Wednesday - budget day.

Young lads playing pitch & toss in the road - when they’d hear the sound of the horse’s hooves, shouted: “Inside the fence - Fr Mac is coming”! He’d drive straight through into town & up the main street - he couldn’t get lost since there was no other street in the town. Outside the corner shop, he’d bring his horse to an abrupt stop so that he could get the few bits he needed for the week. He'd also bank the proceeds of the Sunday church collection.

At that time, there would be some poor fellows holding up the corner only too glad for the opportunity to earn a few shillings for holding a horse by the head. Wasn’t that how Shakespeare started in London!

Fr Mac would call one of these men: “Flynn, come here & hold my horse”. Flynn would & hold him every week but he’d get nothing from Fr Mac for his trouble. Flynn used to grumble about it but, seeing who he was trucking with, he didn’t have the gumption to demand his rights. But, as the saying goes, constant dropping wears the stone.

This Wednesday when Fr Mac drove up, Flynn walked away. “Come here Flynn!” demanded Fr Mac. “I will not - I’ve been holding your horse long enough & you never gave me anything for it”. “Flynn, do you hear me - hold my horse or I’ll stick you to the ground!”. “Ah dear” replied Flynn, “why don’t you stick your horse to the ground then?”.

Henry Ford had no more than invented the motorcar when Fr Mac bought one. It was the only one in the parish until after the Boar War. The backfiring of that instrument drove all the animals wild. He was a reckless driver too.

Failing to take a turn, didn’t he go through Mick Casey’s gate & knocked down a cow inside the field. When Mick saw the car, he couldn’t get over it. He said for a thing that went so fast, wasn’t it a great wonder that it couldn’t jump as well.

Mick knelt down beside his cow as grief-stricken as if it was his own mother. The neighbours came running in. “Is the cow dead?” they enquired. “No” said Mick “she’s not dead but she doesn’t recognise anyone!”

All I ever got out of my story telling were shoes of brown paper & socks of thick milk. I only know what I heard; I only heard what was said & much of what was said was lies.

Cooee folks. Just popped in to say a quick hello to you all.
And to thank Marilyn for her card,and also to say I hope she has a lovely holiday.
I hope you are all o.k, and I have missed talking to you.
Feeling lots better than I have done, but I am now waiting for the xray results, should have them by Wednesday.

Fingers crossed for our Rita's results.

No more news about Jean i'm afraid, as soon as I hear anything from Susan I will pop in and let you know.

Bye for now,take care one and all. Luv Mo

Rita,

You've been all alone on here today.

I think we have all done it at one time or another, left our cash in our pockets and 'Laundered' it.

I love a job as an Heir Hunter. Being a nosey sod it would suit me perfectly.

Some of the situations they find are so sad. Relatives only a couple of streets away who they don't know about.

Finished a bit more work......nearly time for tea.

Catch you later.

Just to remind those who use the England TV Choice they have started a new" Heir Hunters" in the morning on BBC1 at 915. just noticed it in my next weeks TV Choice.

Rita

I will settle for his signed photo Stephen. tell him it an old lady who wants his photo please..
Old enough to be his Grandmother Lol.and I watch all his programme, even repeats at times.

A bit of a to-do this morning doing my washing

I took an elderly mans washing out of the dryer to save him a job before putting mine in. to find he had washed his wallet with money in and all his cards including a dibetic one they had come out of the wallet and noway will he be able to use them the dryer was on hot.

So I had to take the washing up the stairs to his flat. he thanked me and I said these are yours he said I didnt know they were in there.? of course you didnt. but I am aiding and abetting you. you laundered money that made him laugh poor guy it will take him about 5 days to get new cards.about five of them.

I going to do my salad for dinner now.
Rita
