Jean and Mo god bless hope your soon be feeling well.

Thank you Jeans daughter think it is Susan ? for letting us know. all this on top of her other worry,

I had my scan I felt a burning when I was drinking the aniseed but didnt say anything went to the loo and the lady from goldsworth care who drove there and waited told them I had a burning feeling like heart burn so they took their time before they gave me the CAT scan they gave me my iodine drip and I felt ill then but I carried on till it was finished and they asked me. I told them about it then
it was pouring of rain all the way along the M25 and traffic was heavy but we made it on time and the same coming back. I have to phone St Lukes hospital tomorrow to make an appointment with my cancer consultant. to get the results. not looking forward to that.

Stephen I bet there were a lot of big fish following that ship when the meat was tossed over the side. I nearly said boat the guy I use to go out with was in the Merchant Navy he told me a boat can go on a ship a ship cannot go on a boat.. so I try and recall that. lol
Hi Linda Catherine Pat Shelly and Mo.

Rita
I need a mug of tea now.

Goodness
So many poorly people
Jean please get well soon
Mo hope the ribs ease soon
Rita hope the scan went OK

Hello folks,just a quickie.
I had a message from Jean's daughter, and Jean is very unwell,and may be hospitalised. The doctor has been in every day to her,and she is on water and diarolite. The doctor has said it could be a viral infection.
Sending prayers for a speedy recovery for Jean ( Jeniwren).

I am still in pain from my ribs, but I mustn't complain. Thank you for your good wishes. I can't sit in one position for too long, so I will say bye for now. Luv Mo xxx

Rita,

Hope the Scan goes well.

Didn't see the RN Documentary last night. Folk would be surprised as to how many RN Ships struggle to keep going.

Time to go back to the age of sail !!!!!!!!

Patricia,
Is there ever a Mr Right. Us blokes always have faults of one kind or another. My poor lady has to put up with me. How she does it is anyones guess. Still, after being with me for nearly fifty years, she must know my good points as well as the bad.

Pauline,
Enjoy your reading. I love reading and gaining knowledge from books

My family and friends say I'm a great source of useless information.

Mariyln,
That Geography Map is magic. Managed a lot of them first time but it certainly gets the brain working for those you don't know the location of. Great.

rita there is no rush i have the photo any way so not going any were
how ancesters alway seen to of move around and nether seem to be were thay should be.

pat i carnt be doing with being cold indoors

Pauline, I'm too busy reading t o go looking for Mr Right!
Rita good luck with the Scan. What no coffee! I'd be gasping!
Bacon roll please Stephen.
We had a power cut at worka nd the boiler went off nad it's only just been re-lit. I've got a body warmer for when it gets cold!

morning all raining to day I am off to the hospital from my scan at 10 o'clock so nothing to eat or drink for the next 5 hours.. only enough water to take my tablets.

Shelly thanks for that I am not too sure they look like they could be?.but they would be the earlier family the ones I have given are 1930 electorial register I think Alice was born about 1911 or there about. . Mum use to take me to see them when I was 3 years old as they lived near us we went nearly every week. I came across them on my History of Willesden I am doing. I will try and trace those names you have back and see what I come up with.
bless you for that
Caherine hope the dog soon recovers. isnt she the Greyhound or have I got that wrong ?
Stephen did you see the Navy documentry last night that ship should have been sent to the scap yard it must cost more to keep that running than to buy a new one. all that meat that went overboard.

Morning Pauline, hope you have a good day. hope to b e back later.

Rita

American Time Difference

It takes two years for sound to travel to America.

We blew a Bugle in September 1939.

The Americans didn't hear it until December 1941.

American Time Difference

A Wee Chuckle

I was climbing in the Cairngorms with two chaps........

John Cunningham, from Glasgow.
and
Yvon Chouinard, an American Mountaineer.

We were doing a rather hard route, Johnny had led the crux, I followed,
Yvon was next.

Yvon got a bit stuck and called up to us he was going to be a bit longer.

Quick wit Johnny calls down to him...

' Yvon, the Americans are always eight hours behind'

I near fell off laughing.

Well, it was funny at the time and circumstances. !!!!!!!!!

Need to have another little walk out today , have to go to the post box.
Might have a friend here for tea this morning.
Youngest here tonight to try and contact her friend in America, seems the time difference is a problem at the moment.

Have a good day, hoping Mo is OK

Linda :o) XxX

Right, lets see if I can remember everything.....

Great story Dermot, you've got a job for life here, we aren't going to let you stop writing now.

Maddie can sing, wish I could...... I'm tone deaf.

Hope your dog's OK Cath, poor thing, greyhounds are so gentle aren't they?

It can't be nice watching your granddaughter struggle to breath but it's a relief she didn't end up in hospital again.

Nice to see you Yvonne, you should pop in more often.

Our Mo isn't very well. It does sound like you've trapped something Mo, or maybe bruised a rib. I was wondering where you were, hope it's nothing serious.

Thank you for letting us know Linda........... and stop chatting up window cleaners........... you're a married woman.

Pat, are you still looking for Mr Right, or did the first one put you off?

Well done to Marilyn's grandsons. Have a great holiday Marilyn and get your lappy fired up as soon as you get there.

Rita, you've been working well with your tree, did you manage to see the whole of the census?

Where's Jean? Hope everything's OK with little Scarlett.

Shelly, the same thing always happens to me........... I get a contact and they don't know anything and I end up sending them loads of info and certs........... and getting no further forward myself.

Stephen, I started looking at that book when I got up this morning (while I was waiting for son to wake up). It really does start from the beginning doesn't it? I wasn't expecting it to go that far back. He's a very knowledgeable man isn't he? Makes me wonder even more now - how life actually started. I know how the planet started now though!!

I think I've caught up on all the posts now.

Going to wash my hair now, I'm going out with my friend after son goes to the day centre.

Morning all,
Stephen we have only grass snakes on the island. Dog is perkier this morning so fingers crossed.
Mo I hope your ribs are feeling better.
Another damp day here, hope everyone has a good day

Cath xx

Thanks Stephen, just what I need on this cold and frosty morning.

Going to read the thread now so I can catch up on everybody.

Morning all.

(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?
