Morning all
Got a bit soggy on my morning run, ummm stagger. It really is muddy out there, or should that be Maddie??
No wonder the facilities shown on TV weren't pristine.

Plan for today is to get the marching right it's pretty spectacular when watched(a la county shows various through the summer)

Have a good day all

Linda :o) XxX

Good Morning Ladies and Gents.

Excuse me, I HAVE been working. Been for a run this morning already. I have also been to the little Florist that I made contact with from London. Our flowers will be sent to the Hotel this morning. They are ready for us.

Really lovely lady I spoke to. She has made us each a sheath of flowers. Lillies, Lotus and Orchids. Various shades of red, white and blue. The smell is going to be wonderful. She has carefully removed all of the pollen stems, so no danger of our clothes being covered.

MARINES. How fabulous. All those terrific men in uniform. I can hardly contain myself. Those Brycleme Boys are super, but a MARINE. Lordy.

I know it will not be suitable for our lap in the Stadium, but can I hear NIMROD. It makes me really proud when I hear that. Truly splendid piece of music.

OK, then orft to get ready.

See you on Parade.

I was at a Birthday celebration last night it was a dear friends 70th.A total surprise for her she didn't know we were planning it.
Sadly her hubby died a few years ago.
The family asked me to stand in for Jim, her hubby.
As I did the opening speech, standing beside Theresa, the tears started to roll down her cheeks. She was obviously thinking of Jim and his not being there.
I felt honoured to be given his place but had my own thoughts of how much I too miss him. We spent many days in the mountains together and shared many things.
The evening went well and Theresa was surrounded by her family and friends that love her so much. I'm sure she enjoyed it.
And no doubt Jim was up there watching it all.

Good morning Team GR.

It's the big day. Now the whole world(well nearly the whole world) gets to see us.

Good news.

Our Team will be led by the Massed Ceremonial Band of The Royal Marines.
The lead of tune will be.....
'Hearts of Oak'.....the marching tune of the Royal Navy.
You can all pick a favourite tune you want played to do our grand parade. Anything goes...these boys are good.

How did I swing that? My cousin was an Officer in the SBS and knows the former RM Director of Music. He is also a pal of Tom McLeans. They met on a joint SAS/SBS mission, and thats how I got to meet Tom, through my Cousin.

Enough rambling on......pick your Tunes, dress in the Team Colours, lets give them the WOW FACTOR.

Thats if you can drag yourselves away from the Omar
lookalikes......LOL

See you on parade.

Someone tapping at my door again.

Just going to have a quick splash of Chanel No 5 before I answer the door.

Say goodnight Gracie.

Goodnight.
x

Eeeerrrrmmm.

Between the gap I was talking to the Omar lookalike about the British Empire.

He kept on calling me Memsaab inbetween showing me some book with strange pictures in it.

They were drawings really. Beautifully painted pictures.

The book was called some like Cammi Sutres.

Something to do with first aid I think.
PMSL.

evening all

been watching X Faxter now watching the exta fater

now what you all been up to

Hi everyone, sounds as though you are all having a great time, do be careful what you eat though wont you.
Will be thinking about you on Monday, and am sure you will come home with lots of medals.
Take care and stay safe.
Jean xx

Maddie ,

What happened in between that gap ???? LOL

There must be some kind of time delay in my room, I watched it but it has just ended.

Some very nice young man came up with room service and to twiddle with my knobs on the telly.

He looked like a young Omar Sharriff. He was perfectly charming. He started telling me about life in India, and all I could see was that jet black hair and perfect teeth.








So, er, how did the dancing go?

Hi Mo & Maddie,

I'm in my room watching Strictly on satellite AGAIN ... with my wine & champers ..... come and join me.

Hi Maddie.
I know what ya mean about the T/shirts, but what gets me, is the fact that so many men have got bandages on their heads. They must have been to a head bangers party somewhere. The local orsespital must have been very busy. LOL
I am waiting to hear if it's the gala dinner tonight, Steve did say he would let us know the agenda, but him and the other guys,are like the invisible men, never aroung when you need them.

Yoooooo hoooooo.

Been out all day, been doing a bit of power walking. Walking around the shops mainly.

Seen a few of the locals. Most of the young kids seem to be wearing football shirts, can think where they got them from. Really weird teams too, like, Charlton, Accrington, Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester City. Must have had a job lot sent over from somewhere. A few kids were trying to follow me, asking if I knew Victoria Beckham. Strange how my reputation has preceeded me. Course I know ol' Vicky. Dont I frequent her boutique. Some people moan that her clothes only go up to size 10, but that is fine for me. {may I hang my head in shame, and uncross my fingers}

What are we doing tonight, more exercise, or is it a rest day, please.

Let me know, you know what room I am in. Someone was knocking on it at 2 am. so it is no secret.

Hello Girls.....

Yes marilyn we are looking after you......like all good troopers we are around but you can't see us.

Try having a close look at what you think are locals.

Yvonne...... I found your Horse wandering around the hotel .......best come and stable him up !!

I am well exercised where are you all ?? Stephen you and the lads should be looking after us girls.......

Morning All
Been and had the dreaded Flu Jab, at least thats what they told us it was for!!! The queue was down the street.............. wonder if they were all registered at my Drs?
Posted FIL's birthday card he will be 87 on Tuesday. Also acceptance to my parents 60th wedding anniversary in November.
Been shopping for basic food supplies managed to find a nice little Co-op, so if you need any English foods they are just on the corner................
Decided against Stephens kind offer of curried eggs, Kedgeree might have been better. But opted for a full English while we were out.

Have a good day everyone

Much better here this morning

Linda :o) XxX

Oops, nearly forgot to say.........................

WELL DONE MARILYN..........LOL
