Evenin' All
Just popping (not pooping) lol in quickly and having a little nose.

William that is great news for your wife and you.Such a relief to know nothing nasty going on.

Frank how sad that the Grooms Dad had died just a few days before the wedding.Poor lad lots of emotions on the big day.Lets hope he can get through it all ok.He has a wonderful future ahead with his new wife and I'm sure his Dad will be looking down on them on their special day.
Hi everyone else ! Sorry I can't stop but am doing dinner.

I bet Ann is getting excited about her day out tomorrow. :-D :-D

William I am so pleased that you had a good result for your wife at last. I can understasnd her wanting to go out now she feels better and is'nt in pain all the time.

Been shopping and when I cam ehome not far from where I live I spotted a concrete statue for sale outside the place that sells firewood. Had gone past so I reversed to see how much he wanted for it. It is a shell birdbath supported by a young lady a bit putti like. No wings but rather nice and about 3 and a half foot tall. The price was £20 and I thought that rather reasonable so I rang the phone number on the shed but had an answer phone. Rushed home to get oh as there was no way I couod lift it. He came back with me and I put the money in the Honesty Box and oh got the statue in the boot for me. I will take a pick when I get it out the boot. Not sure where to put it yet but think I may have it in the border.

Frank what a bad time poor Harvey is haveing at the moment. At least his mind is at rest as he has been to the doctors and when you are under the weather there is no place like home.

Well, i'am not very warm !!! my feet are really cold , what a difference a day makes, yesterday we were sitting in the sun ,today indoors with the door shut !!!
Shirl, have you still got all the heat !!!

Mel, my aunt use to say don't scratch a bite.... tap it !!

Frank, sad news for the groom ,just before his wedding poor man, hope the antibiotics soon kick in for Harvey.

Good to see your still with us William, and that's good news about your wife , you must both be relieved , get out while you can, before you know it winter will be here .

I think Pats still away ....but were is Anne ? hope she's ok .

Evening all,

Been busy putting loads of cutlery on Ebay When we cleared Ros's dad's house we enptied all the cutlery into a basket. The two boys have taken what they want (ALL THE SILVER ) :-D :-D Ros has put bits away, the rest all stainless steel, but in good condition with makers name and bone handles, are left. So I started today to sort them and list on Ebay.

I did a nice butterflyed leg of lamb tonight, with new pots, runner beans and cabbage. She ate nearly all of it. She also had a choc ice cream.

I have washed up and left it to drain, will sort it later.

Feel very achey now, sat over the computer for most of the day. Will go and watch a bit of tele. Might see you later.

Mel, that sounded a good buy. William glad you had good news. Not much of it about at our age ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Hi Everyone
Am back from my travels. Had a super weekend visiting the Bird Fair at Rutland water and trhen on to see the family. cannot believe just how much Lucy has grown in the last few weeks and she can now roll over and over and lift her head and upper body off the ground. She is developing much more quickly than Hazel did.Hazel was her usual busy self and loved having her PaPa to play with. When it was time for us to leave she dashed upstairs with her teddy and would not say goodbye bless her.
Legs not too bad at the moment although veins painful. They will need to settle down before our flight in 2 weeks.
Frank Thanks for the recipes. I shall try the cake as lots of courgettes around.
Mandy Thanks for missing me.
Must go and read the rest of the posts. :-D :-D

COLD ?? Mandy I still had the fan on this afternoon.Mind you I was ironing lol.I don't think it's cold though,and we only had a bit of rain.They got that wrong :-S
Chris said when he came downstairs this morning and sat outside with his coffee,a big Hawk landed on my washing line!!!.Where was the camera????.
Upstairs by my bed :-( :-(I think Pat came home at the weekend) may be wrong on that.I thought she was just away for 4 days.Anne is still missing and Liz.I wonder how the house contract is going.

Frank ,I hope the antibiotics start doing the job for Harvey soon so he will be more comfortable for the wedding.I keep thinking about the poor Groom and Ros's Stepdaughter.Such a sad thing to happen just before their Wedding.
Poor Chester has just been conking out today,and limping on one of his front legs again.He is not his normal 'mad' self.
Hannah moves into her new permanent home tomorrow.If I knew the address I would send a card.I hope she will be happy in the new flat with the one girl who I think is called Leanne.
Mel that sounded a good bargain ,and I bet it will look lovely in your border .

Oh Hi Anne.So you have been to Rutland!!!!.You might have passed Frank in his Shorts lol.
Sounds like you have had a lovely time too with the family.I hope your legs are ok by the time you go away.Do you need a Dr's letter to give you the go ahead?
Did you see lots of birds? Any Pics?I haven't been to Rutland Water since the children were young and we took the bikes and rode around the Water.Oh those were lovely times.

Well I am done now for the day.So signing off now.I have got a great book to get stuck into so will snuggle down into bed with it and stick the dreaded bite guard in.I found it on the bathroom sink this morning.Must have taken it out when I got up for a wee in the night lol
Night Night everyone,I hope we all have a good nights sleep.xx

Morning and a breezy one today but sunshine too. We have'nt had the rain, YET, that they forcast.

Have to go to market today later on to get chicken food. Don't really want to go but needs must when the devil drives.

How is everyone today?? Feeling better and warmer I hope :-D

Morning Mel and everyone
Well it started off a misty one then lovely sun and now it is clouding over.I wonder what next.I think it is supposed to stay dry so `I'll get the towels in the wash I think.
Ann will have a great day today I'm sure.Can't wait to hear all about it :-D

Morning all,

Anne, We were at Conrads at the weekend, and saw all the twitchers on the bridge going into Oakham, and the signes pointing to the bird fair. I also saw a Mini Bus with POLAND WILDLIFE down the side, Conrad said they come from all over the world for that weekend. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

Ros has been a lot better,she has gone to get her nails done for the wedding on Sunday.

I have hoovered through, picked more beans, tomatoes, and dug three roots of potatoes. Some weigh a good half pound. Ideal for CHIPS.

The groom to be is flying to Spain today. They are cremating his father tomorrow, and he will fly back on Friday. Poor little bugger won't know wheater he's on his head or his heels

Jane, It's Ros's step Grand daughter not Daughter who is getting married. Harvey and Julia, sat her down yesterday and read the the riot act, regarding her over excitement about the wedding. They have told her to think of Andy (the groom) as he is going to break down somewhere along the way, over the loss of his father. She can be a selfish little madam when she wants !!!!

Can't make up my mind, Do I do the lawns or the ironing ??? I think the lawns win, as it's such a shame to be indoors on a day like today. Will do the ironing this evening (IF SHE LETS ME)

Have a "GOOD DAY" see you all later.

Frank oh wants to do the grass today. I had just got a load of washing done when it rained here. It clouded over very quickly and then down it came. It has stopped now but for how long I don't know. Now grass too wet to mow!! OH wandering about like a lost soul now. I have another lot of washing in so lets hope it stays dry.

My lawns are all done and trimmed. The forcast is all over the place, We were supposed to have rain in the night, and bad today and tomorrow. It can stay like this till after the weekend Going to sit in the garden and have a read for an hour.

Put two more sets of knives on Ebay.

Afternoon everyone,

Hung my washing out towels and bed linen ,went to the car boot and the rain came down !! not a lot though ,by the time i had coffee at DIL's and got home the washing was dry .
Bought another Lilliput , Strawberry Cottage for £3.50 ,got a Paper Back 50p and some Runner Beans 50p.

Just sat and did the cross word and i've noticed i'am covered in ink !!, must have a leaky pen !!

Thanks Kim.

Thanks for the recipes Frank,
A little unsual mixture of ingredents, but I'm sure they they are nice together, unfortunatly I am unable to eat cakes etc at the moment, but would love to hear from anyone who gets the chance to sample them.

Received a letter from the hospital (a different one to the one I'm going tomorrow) to see a Dr about the white blood cells on the 22nd of September, it will be interesting to see what is causing the problem. and to see if it has anything to do with my stomach problems.
