How come you always get sun down there?

Do you know Marilyn..........I didn't even notice that Stephen had 2009 on his name, how observant am I?

Looks like it could be the date he joined.

Did it take you a year to find us Stephen?

It took me about 2 years to notice Mo had Kent on her name, in fact I didn't notice, Mo had to tell me.

Morning All,

Didn't get woken up until 8am ......not bad for the young ones its usually 6am.

Stephen talking of numbers, whats your 2009 mean ? would it be because you joined genes in 2009 ? just curious & nosy.

That whisky was a gift from a Doctor & wife friend when they came to stay from London He has a good choice of wine that's for sure, has a boat and goes sails to France regularly.. must ask him to stay again ...LOL

Maddie the sun is SHINNING again here although it did rain during the night.
Shelly will not be pleased that I have her sun, as it shines on the righteous.!!

Going to get kids breckies ....

Hi Pauline....we posted the same ish ....

Morning all.

It's dark and wet here as well Maddie, don't think it'll get any better as the day goes on either. I needed to do some work in the garden - loads of dead-heading and cutting back to do. I'll watch DVDs instead. Enjoy your shopping at Oxford Street.

I think we can safely say that Stephen won't have a boring day today.

Have fun at the birthday party Stephen and tell us all about the Christening celebrations when you get the chance. I didn't know African Christenings were such a big occasion, mind you - I don't know any African people, so that might have something to do with it.

I haven't been to a Christening for years, the celebrations usually go on all day but I've never been to one that had entertainment.

Yeah Marilyn, I meant to say that to you last night...........about the whisky, once it's in the bottle - the years don't count.

Where are the rest of you on this dark and gloomy day?

Jean, hope you're managing to cope with the treatment.

Marilyn......

That Whisky won't get any more mature. It's got to be in a wooden Whisky cask to mature.

DRINK IT !

Well at least share it with some special friends.

It's probably worth around £30 ...how does that compare with your purchase price?

Morning All !

(____)? Stephens Coffee Cup

Maddie....you're up early !

As we say up here......It's Dreich this morning.

Glad I'll be working indoors for a wee while.

Then to finish off Granddaughters Birthday Celebrations we are having a party in a local hall for all her friends from school etc this afternoon. That should be great fun..

Nothing like the laughter of children to brighten up your day.

Tonight my wife and I are going to an African Traditional Christening Celebration. Leman, the dad, has promised that we will see some marvellous Tribal dancing and a whole lot of other interesting cultural rituals. He expects around 150 guests to attend. African food is on the menu....that in itself will be an experience. The festivities are from 8pm until 2am.

Have a good day.

Dame Shelly......did you go to bed at all?

MORNING ONE AND ALL.

I would set out the breakfast things, but I cant remember what they look like. If I was to go back and see I would lose this message.

Couldnt sleep, so got up. Gawd what a morning. It is dark, cold, and pouring with rain. Turned on the tv to see if there is anything worth watching to kill and hour or two before I head up Oxford Street. And the answer is nothing. Lots of ads for records, beauty and fitness regimes, and general twoddle they cant sell at any other time. I fancy a bit of Miss Marple with Joan Hickson, but no such luck.

Hope you are all well. Back later on some time today.

Have a good day all.

Hi Maddie,
You were posting as I was ....

Night .....xx

Pauline I was not allowed out on a Sunday .....Church first then home ....our back garden was the place we could only play........Oh how things have changed..

Stephen I don't like to open that Whisky because I like the casket its in , it about another 10yrs older now ...LOL

Night birthday gal........

I must go now myself as I will sure to be up early with these two Grand kids.

So Night Stephen & Pauline.....sweet dreams ..

Well I just typed a wonderful message, and the Hub went doolally. So will try and remember wot I wrote.

Waitrose do a vast array of whiskies, Scottish and Irish. Bought a bottle of Islay for husband. Cost me about 20 quid. Husband said it tasted like liquid peat. So that was a score up the Swanee.

Love the old films. Used to sit and watch them on Sunday afternoons. Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, David Niven, Errol Flynn, Myrna Loy, Frederick March.

Try to talk to girls at work about films, they dont know what I am talking about.

I am younger than them.

Night Mo.

What happened to Shelly?

Mo we weren't allowed to go out of the street on our own, Saturday night was our family night out..........don't think they had a baby sitter.

Thanks for the wine, just what I need.

Marilyn, how'd you manage to do that?

Night Night all, speak to you tommorrow.
Don't work to hard tommorrow Stephen at your nieces place.

CHEERS MO !!

That was excellent. A good nightcap. Should sleep soundly.

Marilyn,

I very seldom touch alcohol but when I do I have a really good Malt.

Glenfiddich 12 yr old......is good.

My last Malt was at my birthday celebrations nearly four years ago.

My toast for my wedding drink was Irn Bru as was my best mans. From a distance it looks like whisky.

OPPSss....

Now how did I get Eleanor Powell playing Tullulah Winters the leading lady ,
Have I got a different Google ?? LOL

Well you know what sailors are>>>>

Cheers Pauline, I was a bit worried about forgetting Stephens drink.
Right one glass of wine,and a double for Stephen coming down the cyber hatch now. Cheers everyone.

Pauline didn't you go to the Saturday morning Matinee's. I think my mum was glad to get rid of my brother and I, so that she could get on with her work.
We even watched Zorro at the cinema, now that was exciting.
Mind you, I was a bit of a tomboy,and used to enjoy trying to scalp my brother,as he always wanted to be the goodie when we played coyboys and injuns.
One day I got hold of the scissors, from the kitchen drawer,and actually gave my brother a haircut. He ended up looking like a monk, with a big hole in the crown of his hair. Cor did I get a wallop for that.
