*passes another box of tissues over to Mo*

Mo, that's because Shelly was sneezing all over the thread. I'm glad I wasn't here when her snotty nose was dripping all over the cyber hatch.

It's getting dark already and it's only just gone 3.35.

Shelly love, I think I've caught your germs, I feel like poo. Aching all over, hacking cough,head ache,and a runny nose as well. Trust you to want to share it with me,but I didn't really want it thanks honey.
I hope you are feeling a bit better now.

Rita, is it eight months since you did any of your autobiography, my word how time flies. I'm sure you will soon get stuck in again.

Pauline pass me that box of tissues will you please,atchoooo atchoooo,
ooh bless me.

Hi all.

It took me ages to read all the posts since I was on yesterday. What do you do ..............wait till I've gone and then all come out to play?

Lovely breakfast Stephen, but by the time I got here it was cold.

*passes a box of tissues to Shelly* Can't have you sneezing all over your lappy Shelly.

Thank you for the e-card Marilyn, it's lovely, makes me feel like putting my tree up. Can't though, because it's still in the loft.

Going to have a quick look at the rest of my emails now, be back later.

shelly that is what you get for playing in the snow. you didnt pinch that womens snowman did you ? lol.
Pat my sister went to mass this morning she made me laugh they always have a christmas sale on to raise funds for the church. but people didnt attend so this year they had a stall at the back of the church selling Jams and pickles they sold out. . I said maybe someone gave them a little prod telling them to buy.

I have been working on my Autobiography it is 8 months since I did any and I felt guilty about that so I did another three pages this morning. trouble is I have little giggles at times other times I sit an think about the good things that happened. I have made my mind up to type two or three pages out each day. I wrote things down in exercise books but forgot to number the pages so it take time for me to catch up and get them in the right order.

I see Dermot is off on one of his orange box speeches,

Rita

Hi All.

Thank for the breakfast Stephen.
By the way haven't seen that Cottage for a while now ,only pass by Bickleigh on the way to the Moors. Do you know the Gunnery School at HMS Cambridge Wembury ?
Well its not there anymore they pulled it down a couple of years ago.

I'm feeling Christmassy now cause I'm coming home .!!! and it will be non stop for me got loads & loads to do.

I didn't know our Shelly was poorly I only know she had a snotty nose, awwhhh .
Best stay in bed Shelly to get yourself ready for Christmas.its not like her not to be on threads.

(_)? Shelly's with a little something in it ..!!

I'm following Pat ...I'm off to mass as well ....back later.

Marilyn thank for the card, it's lovely. Makes me feel all christmassy.

I dislike those who chew gum like retarded cows while speaking to me.

Morning Rita,
x

Morning Pat .


Marilyn just to say thank you for the Christmas card I saw it this morning on here but forgot to open it, and when I went to log off remembered.
Thank you it is very thoughtful of you.

Take care.

Love Rita
xx

Morning everyone,
Back from mass. It was warmer outside than it was in the church. I supposed I've missed breakfast. Never mind. I've got a cup of coffee!

Morning, popping in to say hoping everyone is warm and well.

Off to work soon.

See you later.

Take care out there.

Morning everyone I have a wide choice of breakfast this morning with Linda and Stephens. I am pleased I wont have to wash up the dishes.

Maddie I know where you mean now. I went in there but I had no idea what the place was called. I expect I will go there again next year when the weather is better.
I was disappointed that the older buildings were demolished, as well Stephen I love looking at the old ships the Tall ships are my favourite.my Great Uncles service records show all the ships he sailed on which included Victory. Hood ,Wellington. Seaflower to name but a few. then my uncle Charles who was a regular sailor during the second war sailed on HMS Hood which was strange two different ships but two Uncles served on. Hoods.

The Hotel my sister and I stayed at in Weymouth was called.
"Best Western Hotel Prince Regent.! overlooking the sea front it had around 400 rooms I was amazed to be told by the manager it had been a hospital for the troop in 1914-18 That was why the chose the spots oppsite it for the war memorials as it had been easier bringing back the troops who were injured. from France. which made sense when I thought about it.

weather not nice here the ground is frozen the snow melted and then the black ice took over.

have a good day everyone.

Rita

Thanks for the breakfast Stephen
I had Bacon Tomatoes baked Beans and toast with hubby, just in case we go for a walk before Sunday lunch.
He looks might he might just want to read the papers so we will see

Linda :O) XxX

Marliyn,

I've been thinking about that wee Cottage at the bottom of the steep hill at Bickleigh that we both know.

Wonder if the owners got snowed in?

Perhaps the Marines would dig them out. ROFL

Rita,

Portsmouth.....I took my wife round Portsmouth to see some of the places I knew. This would be around 1995 or so. I was also taking her around my other haunts on the South Coast.

I was shocked to find a lot of the older buildings had been demolished.

There was one row of houses that led out to the bridge over to HMS Excellent, the Royal Navy Gunnery School on Whale Island. The street had been cut in two with a new road driven through it. Sad. They were quaint wee houses.

That mess of a place, The Cascades, Car Park, who the heck allowed that to be built ?. I think it was later demolished. No wonder.

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

Tea or Coffee.

Sunday Breakfast.

Porridge or Cereals, Fresh Grapefruit, Fresh Fruit Juices.
Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Hash Browns, Mushrooms, Black Pudding, Etc.

All on the Hot Plate. Help yourself.

Linda I was cooking it when you appeared.

Still below freezing here -5C. No fresh snow, thank goodness.

Going out later to a Winter Fete in a park. Usually a good Family day out.

Fun and frolicks in the snow. As long as your well wrapped up it's fine to be out and about.

Not much fun if you're slipping on Icy pavements and roads though.

Need to get some fresh milk when I'm out. Only 4ltrs left. And I like my milk.

Catch you later.

Have a good day ya all.

Well Good morning everyone
Where is my breakfast?
Stephen aren't you up yet?

Looks like it managed to stay above freezing last night. Might try to go out again today, just incxase I am stuck inside wiith little tomorrow.
Don't think there will be much garden recycling tomorrow, can't think why? I haven't done any gardening in the last two weeks.

Have a good day everyone

Staek for dinner today before hubby goes to work just after 1:00

Linda :o) XxX

PS sorry Mo by the time your shirts arrived I'd put the ironing board away !!!

Rita the Spinnaker is where the Outlet shops are. If you look up it looks like a yatch in full sail. There is a viewing platform where you can see all over the harbour, and probably over to the Isle of Wight on a clear day. there is a glass floor too, like the Blackpool Tower. Cross it at your peril. lol

Osborne House in the summer, lovely. From the verandah at the back you can see Portsmouth on a very clear summer afternoon.
