Glorious...........It's been lovely here today.....clear sky and sunshine....,even though there's snow and it's cold ....0C all day and ready to drop now that the sun has gone.

I do moan about the snow and the disruption it causes but on the other hand I also like it. Apart from water snow is probably one of the best play mediums and I enjoy both of them.

Time for coffee and a relax.

Catch you all later.

Good afternoon Everyone.

Hope you are well and warm.

Stephen, more snow. You must be doing the snow dance to get it to fall so frequently. We have a bit of sunshine here. It makes you feel better just to see a few rays. Shows up the dust though. lol

Went out for a few minutes just for a 'blow' of fresh air, so am gonna keep warm this afternoon, do a bit of me tree, and try and shrug this off properly. Getting really BORED with it now. Too long.

Pleased we got an update about Jean, I think she is a bit of a live wire, and will keep everyone on their toes.

See you later.

Susan thank you for the update on Mum.
I should imagine that they would have to tie her to the bed to hold her down. Now she is feeling a bit more like her old self, she will NOT take to them trying to keep her isolated from the other patients.
I hope they have some positives answers for you on Monday, and that our Jean keeps making good progress.
Please give her my love. Mo xxx

Hello everyone.
I know I am late today, but, now dont laugh, I have been Christmas shopping in the sales.
I have bought the grandchildren one present each so far. And I am going to wrap them up tonight, before any little nosey parkers come snooping round.
In fact I am later starting this year, I normally go to the sales on boxing day, but with all the awful weather we had, I didn't bother.

I hope all our poorly gang are feeling a little better today. It seems like this virus is going round in circles. Folks appear to be getting over it, only to be smacked on the back of the head with it again.

Pauline, have you still got the snow up your way, or has it started to clear again.

Thanks Yvonne!

hello everyone

just having a coffee

(_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? made a few more for anyone that whants one

sounds like Jean is a little better if she's up and chatting to the other patients

Very grey outside and it's raining again

I'm giving blood this afternoon, tried to persuade my son to come with me but he's not keen on needles, perhaps next time

Hi Rita,
I've got up to get some soup and watch the Footie.
Thanks for the brekkie Fluffy Paws!
I'm not very upto date with the technical side of things of computers etc!

Ha Ha Pat thats a good one Boomerange flu. I dont think it back it is just left me with a cough and sneezes I think you gave this to me.

Stephen I hate smoked ham. salmon and bacon. I love baked salmon and steamed.my husband use to fish at what was known as the basin in Bervie it was the little inlet that the tide came in and then when it went out .it left the sea and many baby and middles size salmon in so he fished for them.( He loved Fishing Sea or freshwater.) we use to take them back to M I L and she would clean them and that would often be our dinner or supper depending how many he caught. I think from the sea if I recall? you were only allowed to take out one large salmon.the baylift woulf be after you otherwise. he use come along in his tartan trousers and check your permits.
Pat if Jean's Laptop is radio control then she will have no trouble. I would think ?
I wonder where Pauline and shelly and Yvonne MO and Sue are ?I expect the others are tucked up in bed with their colds.
I went shopping this morning suprised as our Waitrose had lots of bargain no out dated items but just special offers,

Rita

Patricia,

'Fluffy Paws' is on his way.......NOW.

Hope you like Scrambled Eggs and Smoked Salmon on Toast.

Coffee....freshly ground.

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmm

Rita, I think you've got boomerang flu! It keeps on coming back!
Stephen can Fluffy Paws bringme my brekkie! Anything will do!
Getting a cup of coffee then back to bed.
That'sa good idea about Jean having her laptop but will it work ok?
Hello to everyone x

Morning all, not many of you about today, sounds like most of you are still ill.

Thank you for the breakfast Stephen, most of the Friendly members need it because they're all too ill to make their own.

Thank you for the update Susan, if they don't let Jean have her lappy - they might as well give in and put her in the big ward, because she's not going to just sit quiet all day.

Rita, you told me that blouse was blue, you said the uniform was dark blue and light blue. Now who's this you've been chatting up? I'll have to have a look around to see what you've been up to.

No sign of Marilyn yet, she'll be annoyed if she can't use her lappy while she's away.

Morning every one I am still having trouble I type out and then it whooses away and I have to start again.
Susan I know how your Mum feels if she is in a side ward it feels so lonely. I was put into a private ward in Gt Yarmouth at the James Paget Hospital it had evey thing in but someone to talk to, I moaned so much they gave in and put me into a ward with others I was so much happier in that.
I hope they let her have her laptop with her but she might be home before then lets hope so ?
PAT I think l have got my flu coming back l have been coughing and sneezing all night . l hope l dont.l will go mad if l have

..Shelly .JOHN started that thread and I found Linda had been born in the same Tywford Lodge as my daughter the same year then John said he had been born there in 1957 the same year my son Michael had been born in the same hospital.and I knew he could get information he needed for The Metroplitions Archives. it had been a workhouse but it was also hospital for those who were poor so that was why My Gt Gt Grandfather ended up in there
Stephen I didnt mean for you to get cards for me. I just wondered what the places were like..Having read where my ancestors came from on Mum side of the family.
The Devonshire family my fathers I have been able to get around there over the years and visited the churches and schools they attended.
I wish everyone a happy day.

see you later.

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

Tea or Coffee

Porridge or Cereals, @@@@@@ Eggs, ~~~~~~~~~~~~Bacon,
Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Hash Browns, Black Pudding, Sausage. Etc

All on the Hotplate........help yourselves.

Morning all.

Susan.....thanks for the update.......Jean will keep them busy !!!!!!!

Hope all the Friendly invalids are on the mend.

Well a huge pile of white stuff arrived last night.....about 6" of it.......I think
I'll call it SNOW as I can't think of a suitable name for it.......well not one that can be printed anyway.

Been out since 5.30am shovelling away. At least I can keep on top of it if I do that. It is still snowing very lightly just now but the salt seems to be coping at melting it as it lands.

The huge piles of dirty snow are now lovely and white again.......saves me trying to wash it in the washing machine to keep it white. I've tried that twice already and it dosen't seem to work. Must be using too high a temperature.

Have a good day everyone.......and get well soon if your poorly.

Rita,
I haven't forgotten that you want a description of the Monzievard, Crieff and Fortingall areas. The first time I'm up that way I will get some Postcards and forward them to you.

Catch you later.

Hello everyone, so sorry to be so late coming on, went in to see Mum tonight then went to check that her house is secure, so was late home.
They have done several tests today, blood, breathing, and chest x-rays, they said all the results will be ready on Monday so may know what is wrong with her then. I am going to see the doctor on Monday afternoon.
I may ask if I can take her laptop in when I go tomorrow, that might keep her in bed, she keeps getting up going chatting to other patients in the big ward, she is in a side ward because they say she must rest. LOL they dont know my Mum.
Will let you know how she is over the weekend.
Thank you for all your kind messages.
Susan.

I do.

Back to bed.

Nighty night lovely people.

God Bless
