Kim, so nice to see you posting, even though you are not well. We all think about you, and hope you soon start to feel a little better.

This sleep business, gets on my nerves. I sat in the armchain and nearly dropped of to sleep and only 10.30am in the morning.

Ros is in the shower, and washing hair. I will go in after her. and get shaved. two days growth. starting to get stubble. It's so nice not to have to shave everyday.

Whats your plans for today LIZ, cleaning or unpacking. Take it easy, it doesn't all have to be done at once.

Might do a bit of planting later. If I feel like it, if not, it can wait.

See you later.

Hi Kim. Nice to see you this morning and hope you feel a bit easier now. It must be awful to have such pain all the time. My wishes to you love. <3

Frank I have pm'd you to change some things on your tree.

Hi Kim,
PAIN,!!!! I know how that feels, I am on a bland diet too, fed up of Chicken & turkey, but OH is great at trying to liven it up with mushrooms and other veg, my pain dies down at night Kim, I did really well yesterday and had no need for pain killers. thankgoodnesss as the ones I take make going to the bathroom very difficult (will not go into further details) and I have to have at least 2/3 glasses of prune juice a day
Don't know how long it's going to be before I have to go into hospital.

Managed to get into town and pay the bills, still raining but we do have the sun off and on.

Well the sun is still out but we have had a shower or two. Very blustery.

Got your messages Frank.

Still raining alot and windy, not a very nice day to be outside at all.

I had to put heating on , as I was feeling it cold,

not got much to report, OH been down in Crew all day will be back about 8 tonight.

Thats me for today's planting. Bending over in the front garden, planting wallflowers, and over balanced. Landing full length in the flower bed. Left me all shakey. Going to sit and have a rest, and a cup of tea.

Frank, Do be careful, losing your balance and going over is so painful and shaky (!) making. Like my unpacking and getting straight, doesn't all have to be done at once! mind you I could do with finding Millies brush and comb,she does look a very raggitty dog! Ian not too keen to turn out boxes just to look for that, so her grooming will have to wait! Sunshine and showers here, VERY blustery but not cold. No , I don't think that I'm a butterfly, more an old boiler!!!! but at least I'm a contented one! ;-)

That was nice to see Kim earlier. :-D :-DHope the painkillers keep helping Kim

Oh no Frank! not again :-| at least it wasn't off the ladder.

I have felt really sleepy this afternoon.I think it is all the disturbed nights catching up.Seems there are a few of us having sleep trouble at the moment :-S :-S

That wind is really gusty and it's not too warm now.Still haven't put the heating on though.Last night I got out of bed to put the fan on and it went PHUTT!.Probably is worn out after all the use lately.
Chester is asleep on the rug in front of the fireplace.(wishful thinking me thinks)it is just an empty grate lol

Chris starts his 2 weeks of Jury Service soon.He is not looking forward to that.I wish I could take his place.
I don't suppose anyone has heard from Sheila.I hope nothing bad has happened as it is weeks now since she was here.

Liz you sound so much happier now.That is so good to see.

Not a very exciting dinner tonight.Sausages (I bought at a lovely Butchers in Northumberland),Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato,and Ratatouille.
I do get fed up trying to think of meals to cook.I remember Mum saying the same thing.I could never understand why she said that ,BUT NOW I DO !!!

Dinner is now ready and I suddenly don't fancy anything.James is dishing his up and had said he is not very hungry,so I think Chris will end up with a HUGE plateful.Les hope he doesn't decide he isn't very hungry either :-S :-S

I do know someone who demolish any left over sausages,(my four legged friend).he is sniffing around with a hopeful look on his face.Well he will be out of luck .He has had all he is having today and I don't need to be dealing with a dicky tum :-| :-|

Frank I see in the paper that our county is the worst in the country for response times for emergency services :-S :-S :-S.

I will be glad to get the new Sk* box thing tomorrow.I am fed up having to get down on my knees to change channels on the old box.My nose is nearly on the floor when I do it and even then I can't really see what I'm doing lol

Been working up the border doing some weeding and put one lot of tulip bulbs in.

Had a look in at a grave yard in Newbiggen by the sea recently.
St Bartholomews Church at the point.

Many graves have sad storys.The occupants being the victims of drowning.Often more than one generation in the grave.

All the Jewish graves are together on the south side of the grave yard.

One grave has a poignat stark memorial stone bear only two words

QUE SARA

How sad DAvid.

Cooking pork chops, vegtable rice for oh jacket pot for me and toms and peas.No doubt he will cover the rice in soy sauce! Must mask the flavour :-0

It's the 6 o'clocker. Something in my brain(yes I have one lol lol) just sets of an alarm, and I am awake, wanting the toilet. So once up I stay up. Had three cups of tea, and just sitting, thinking of times gone by.

Pleased to say no real after effects from the tumble yesterday. Sore arms and legs. I didn't tell Madam, or she would have gone mental at me for not kneeling down, but then I have to get up, no mean feat.

Very cloudy here, and rain is just around the corner.

The heating came on this morning, and the boiler is set at 18 degrees. so much cooler than of late.

Morning Frank

Glad you are ok after your fall yesterday. I tripped yesterday in the back porch , we have a long carpet runner on the tiles which is put down in wet weather so the tiles don't get slippy anyway ,one corner was sticking up I didn't see it and I tripped and fell against the wall and banged my shoulder, a bit achy this morning but will be ok,

suns out but windy ,

Just lost my post.

I'll try again later, bl**dy stupid thing.

Morning All,

Windy and wet again today.

Frank I have answered your email.

Hope Fiona and Frank are ok after their tumbles yesterday. Rake it easy today you two.

Frank a good chance to get more info on the tree!

Pat hope you get a nice walk with your grandaughter along the beach.

I am going to put up how to Copy and Paste again for all of you who can't do it.


Give it a try.

Copy and paste is simple.

Put your mouse cursor at the beginning of what you want to copy,
hold the left button down,
drag the cursor to the end of what you want to copy (it will all turn blue),
let the left mouse button up,
click the right mouse button and you get a menu,
click on Copy.

Then go to where you wish to post the copy then click the right mouse button and you get a menu,
click on Paste.

It sounds complicated, but once you've done it twice, it's second nature.

Hi Kim. Sorry you lost your post.

How are you today, a bit better I hope.

You popped in just as I was posting.

Morning All
I had a much better sleep last night and more refreshed this morning.I just hate Chris's alarm going off at 5.30 !!!!!! It's far too early ,but he is one of these people who need a fair bit of time before setting off for work.
Much cooler today and cloudy.We had some rain in the night which was good.

My dinner last night was a Banana and a yoghurt lol

I'm doing an Asparagus and Mushroom and Bacon Fritata this evening with Saute Potatoes and green beans.But have run out of mushrooms so I need to nip out and get some.I have to be back by 1 oclock as the SK* Man could be here between then and 5
I hope there are no more bumps and bruises today.Fiona good job you didn't bash your head again :-S
