Yes Rita it's me who likes The Island Parish!

I've just been asked by a Sunday Tabloid to hack into Edward 7th's mobile.

Assistance would be appreciated.

Maddie are you and Pauline having a go at me.?
you can come out of the corner. Pauline I forgive you taking the micky out of an old girl like

Marilyn my friend from a few flats down came to bring me some magazines this morning and she told me she has the ladybirds loads of them all on her window sill and in her flat they are the ones that are not nice they are a ligth browny colour stripes. do you recall last year I said she had them all in her flat and got bitten a few times . I had some but not many. it appears they are on an early visit this yearthey breed in the corners of your rooms and also if you have wall insulation, so get some flit and spray them if you get any indoors.

not sure if it was Pat who likes The Island Priest, it is on tonight at 7.30 he had just moved to a small Island in the higlands of Scotland.


Rita

Hi Everyone,
i got my new glasses. They seem a bit strange but I'll get used to them.
Dermot I liked your quotation. I'll try to remember that in future.
Rita I'm impressed you've done all your ironing. I've still got a load to do. I'll do some tomorrow!

Hi All,

Just forgot to tell you all .....


I found a Lady bird in my garden today ..LOL

I told it to fly away as its to early to come out .. I was transplanting some Double Snowdrops.....Awhhh

Hi all, hope everyones well.

LOL Marilyn, it probably felt like a marathon to her little legs........ bless!

I can just see you now......... trying to shoo the cows up the road.

Had to laugh at Stephan being outmaneuvered by a handful of horses.

Were you bored this afternoon Stephen, or were you just hiding on the thread so you wouldn't have to do any work?

Rita, I thought you were going to box my ears again for sending you that one about old people.

Wonder if Cath's finished that ironing yet.

Hello !!

I'm back been shopping this afternoon,,,,,bought a pair of black peddle pushers.
They are lighter than my other pair so as to not be over my weight in luggage I thought it sensible to buy a lighter pair !!.... Pete did not think so ..LOL

Hows all my lovely friends ???????

Stephen I'll talk about cows now....A few years ago a herd of cows came down our lane that should not have as we are Arable land , anyway we knew who they belonged to a farmer about 3 fields away, I was trying to Shooo them back up the lane ,but they were having none of it ....instead they started eating my pansies in my front garden.
The farmer was contacted and when I told him he should change their diet to pansies.
he laughed his head off .......but kindly two days later he came round with a tray of pansies......how kind and thoughtful was that !!

Got my grand daughter staying tonight.......she's been in a marathon run 3/4 mile ! LOL had to travel to Truro in a school bus ...she's only 8yrs ..So I'll hear all about this marathon !!!!!!

Stephen that must have been funny shutting the gate before the horses bolted the trouble is you left the Gate open.
I had trouble shutting Gates of fields when I lived in Norfolk they had metal hooks that you had to push up and over the wooden block. I walked into a field once and remembered I had not shut the gate. I had to rush back before the donkey got out. I beat him to it. just in time.

Yvonne how are you keeping well I hope ?

Pauline those emails were funny.

I am shattered now I have spent the best part of the afternoon ironing. it is one of those irons you fill with water, the trouble was as fast as I was filling it the water was flowing out of the bottom , I have a new iron trouble was I was too lazy to get it out of the cupboard.

Rita

Afternoon everyone

lol Stephen. It's a pity you are so far away I need some decorating doing, my hallway and stairs need a bit of work and i'm still waiting for OH to do kitchen floor!

Rita pleased your Mike is on the mend and best wishes to Lee

Jean glad the situation with Scarlett has been sorted, it's nice when family can help each other, you hear so much about kids going from 'pillar to post' it's not good for them

back later x

Rita,

Horses on the loose.

I had to round up six rather big horses one night. I was careful to stay away from their rear ends as they were rather frisky and kicking out.

Once i had got hold of one and put a rope on him and led him off the rest followed. Put them in the field and closed the gate

As I walked back to where I had started from I was confronted by the same horses. There was another gate open at the bottom of the field and I had to start again.

I honestly thought someone was winding me up.

If this had been caught on Camera it was a sure fire 'You Have Been Framed' winner. I felt a proper Charlie.

An Afternoon Chuckle

School Reunion

An elderly chap attended a school reunion but was dismayed to find that all his surviving classmates wanted to talk about was their various ailments.

Heart Conditions, Liver Complaints, Kidney Stones etc etc

When he arrived home his wife asked how it had gone.

'It wasn't so much a school reunion' he sighed ' more like an Organ Recital !'

Ancient Chinese Proverbs.

Our 'leaders' could do well to read and act on them.

When the work of the perfect leader is done well,
the people think they have done it all by themselves.

He who leads by example is like the Pole Star,
which keeps it's place while the other Stars turn around it.

Shelly glad you're having a smiley day.
I'm smiling at Dermots post above, words of wisdom as always.
Jean send me your ironing and I'll do it with mine tomorrow, lol. I don't mind the actual job of ironing once I start its just the length of time it takes to get it all done, I reckon I've got about 7 hours to do and I'm not kidding. Problem is I have to iron at work as well so never want to do my own when I get home.
Jacket potatoes for tea, nice and easy and something they all eat without complaint. Hope to be back later,
~~~~~~~to everyone
