Hi Pauline any day but Saturday as I have part 1 of my 12 hour Paediatric first aid course. Has to be done eh.

Still if you can find a competition for bandaging the fastest I will be in with a good chance !!

Linda :o) XxX

Linda, you're on the list for fishing, don't know what day it's on though.

Rita
it must have been the accent as Rebecca Addlington said she had Dehli belly !!!! Not jelly belly?

Well got our repeat prescriptions and down to the pharmacy. They had everything for us. Good.
Then to the out of town shops, currys first.......................... useless. Then Tesco direct, all OK got a new microwave and a kettle too.
The microwave made odd but loud noises last night, when hubby opened it smokey and an electrical smell too. So out for the dust men Monday. The kettle has lost its filter and was getting rather scaled up too, so time for a new one.

Then hubby drove to Salisbury and on to Fordingbridge. We stopped at a favourite pub/ restaurant The Old Beams. We had a nice meal, I had crayfish and rocket salad to start, then pork chop, mash, spinach and apple gravy. I had appletise to drink. Really nice and less than £10 for the 2 courses.

Now we are back home for a nice cup of tea and a small sandwich later if we need it.

Oh I forgot had a nice walk along part of the River Avon chatted to a man who was fishing................ caught nothing much today he said but enjoyed being out in the fresh air in beautiful countryside.

Is there fishing in our competitions..................? Used to be pretty good when I went with my father as a child. Sure I could have caught more than that chap and won another gold!!!

Linda :o) XxX

Maddie you made me feel tired after I had read what you have been
up to. I was tired before I read it now I feel worse.
I did not do any running this morning infact I have done nothing in that way of exercies .
I sat drinking tea and sewing went mad did some darning and some sewing all up to date now
I wonder what the others have been up too ? there are very quiet dont you think ?

Rita

Back from the run.

The track is in such poor condition I went for a run outside in the country. Blimey, I could have got lost. But I was clever, I had a ball of wool around my waist, and when it ran out, I followed it back to the Hotel. Clever eh.

'Taps head' Up here for thinkinging
'points to feet' down there for dancing.

The swimmers are going down like ninepins. Doesnt say much does it. I hope there is nothing in the water in the pool. It could be en-masse.

Sack race today I think.

No I will not be wearing it on my Head. Not with the wonderful hair-do I have. Just of to practice my sack hopping.

Probably do the race and be back to report late tonight.

Pleased your blood count was fine Rita.

See you all later

Maddie

Pauline I lost myself running down that list.
I was listening to the radio this morning and heard a speaker say they have a jelly belly in the games I thought I had misheard then he said it again something to do with the food I think ? just as he was speaking about it out Estate manger came to speak to me so I missed the rest..

Shelly ,,
Lizz has been on threads as I have seen hers. so I dont know why she has not come back to ours perhaps it is the games maybe she will come back afterwards. even Yvonne is missing a lot. I hope she is alright?

Jean Love how are you ? I think of you a lot.

This morning I went to Waitorse t get four items Milk/Butter/Sage/and Tea-bags. The tea-bags were on special (I have TP Tips) if i brought 160 instead of the 80 I usually buy. you got two boxes of 160 for £6 they are normally £4.44 so a box Brought two boxes I think they will last me a year Lol. now I have a small kitchen and thinking where can I store them.
I could not let a good buy like that go.
I know what will happen I will find a place to store them and forget where I stored them.

My warfarin blood test results have come back good I dont have to go again tilll November.

Rita

Night night, sleep tight, make sure the bedbugs dont bite.

I think young Shelly is trying to steal my thunder.

Look at the list young Shel we were both in the baton twirling together. I had the leotard and the pigtails. So I won. pmsl

Just lying here in my bedroom watching Midsomer Murders. Love that prog. I can sit and look at the tv and not think about it. Ideal Sunday night tv. No thought required.

No curry for me tonight, I had pasta. Loads of carbohydrates, good for the stamina.

Another busy day tomorrow.

Keep well everyone.

Nighty nite.
