I am sure you can, maybe you can find some very posh clothes buried at the back of the wardrobe

I have had tea at the Ritz :-)

and I'll have you know that I can be as refined as you like if I set my mind to it :-D

having dined with the Queen's cousin - was equally as refined as him, except he arrived in an Aston Martin, and me in a Volkwagon Golf :-D

I can do posh you know :-D

Tecwyn Report 16 Aug 2014 22:15

Great - we can paint the town red :-D

Show them Londoners that we from the provinces know how to enjoy ourselves :-D

Oh well, I will be on London,so we can meet up :-D

No, nothing planned. No appointments thank goodness.

I might make a start on sorting the bedroom out. I have to arrange for the council to take the bed away before I can get the decorator in. I have to empty the wardrobes first, so that they can be moved out of the alcoves.
I can do it slowly.

On the other hand - I might go to London, book in at Claridges. Have a trip on the London Eye. Afternoon tea at the Ritz.
Do a couple of shows, and come home - we'll see :-D

Have you lots of exciting things planned for next week?

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 16 Aug 2014 22:00

I am very much still here :-D

I think it was that lot gawping at me that spurred me on to get going again :-D

Wish I'd had a notice over the bed,

"This is not a spectator sport, and don't write me off just yet" :-D

It definitely wasn't your funeral, you are still here, well I think you are any way :-D

It was nice Linda - I was so surprised. No idea how she got my number.

It is true, I have seem more relatives since I became ill, than I had seen for years :-D

I remember a day in hospital when things were not good, that people I hadn't seen for years were around the bed. Fortunately I wasn't really awake, so had nothing to say.
I do remember thinking "Gosh, I must be ill" :-D

Usually we only see each other at funerals

LindainHerriotCountry Report 16 Aug 2014 21:41

That was nice for you Tec. You only had to get ill for all your family to get back in touch again :-D

Hooray for tumble dryers :-D

I have had a phonecall from a cousin I haven't seen or spoken to for over 40 years. She was on the phone for over 90 minutes :-D

We are the same age, and spent a lot of time together when we were children.
It was good to go over old times, and catchup

The washing is all done, thanks to the tumble dryer. The car is clean again, there was a huge amount of rubble in the boot, so I think we need to clean the vacuum cleaner now.

I can't wait to get back to my tree as there are some promising new records out, but they will have to wait until I stop going down to London

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sue's OH :-D
Does he now get a bus pass?

Linda I'm not surprised you slept in after demolishing a house in the last few days.
Hope you caught up with the washing, but it's not been a day for it here. Dull and drizzly.

I stayed in and felt lazy, so worked on my tree. Don't think I can go much further, but want to solve a few mysteries surrounding some people.

A chocolate birthday cake is indeed something to get excited about.

I hope you don't get too much rain, but your OH's veggies will like it.

I have done the supermarket and town square shopping,so it is only the car to tackle this afternoon, plus the huge pile of washing, I had a different set of work clothes every day because they were so dirty

I have passed on your birthday wishes and OH says thank you :-D

The family went out for lunch and a good time was had by all. The children were more excited about the chocolate birthday cake :-D

It is raining now as predicted. Supposed to last all next week.our son is hoping it stops by Friday as he has a field trip next weekend.
