Hello from a cooler Tenerife, sun over mt Teidi but not actually here at the moment, still warm enough to eat breakfast on the patio though. I have read back but too far behind to comment. I congratulated Sue on Facebook but again, Grandma Sue, congratulations nice name although I am unsure of the pronunciation of the second name.

Pleased the funeral went as well as it could Jude, I expect Phil is pleased that it is over, always an ordeal. I hope he is coping ok. I will sort out a donation when we return home.

Congratulations Grandma Sue :-D
Hope mum and baby are doing fine. That's a good weight ,perhaps that was why she was a bit late in arriving..but there's no telling son was 9.4 and midwife weighed him twice cos he looked so skinny..he was long tho !

Yes Shaun son's job is in IT ( same sort of thing )...I think I said it somewhere lesser salary ( under negotiation ) ,but lesser travelling which was costing a fortune tho his car is diesel it will be lesser time travelling too and hopefully more chance for promotion. His boss.. next step to him is in Holland on £100K !

Pleased it was a quite send off for our Jean and thank you for attending Jude,and relating the events tho nothing else would have been expected after all you've done for them both.

~~~to all friends mentioned or not

This bleeding keyboard's just done 'runner' again letter A this time , usually m n or e.....hubby's going to put sons kit on her..tho this is fine and search the net for new board for me ! Can't find one I like locally.

Nite all
Love Sandie.xx

Hello everyone...

Got back a few hours ago from saying goodbye to Auntie Jean....a very quiet service with about 20 people, mostly neighbours and friends!!

Jeans g/niece read the eulogy and talked about GR and how Jean was involved, also how she loved her pc and kindle:)) she read out the message Susan NZ added to this thread:))
We met one of Jeans neighbours for the first time, lovely lady and of course neighbours who we had had contact with before.
We will see Phil in the morning with a few bits of shopping.

Take care all

Take care and thanks for letting us all know.

Funny old day today....a birth, our anniversary and jean's funeral...bdm all in one day!!.

Thank you for your thoughts everyone x
Spoke to Phil yesterday, won't speak now till later. He has visitors arriving from Kent.

Its a miserable day too so please mr weather man make the sun shine later for Auntie Jean!!

Shaun....thnk you for thephoto, the one you have by your pc.l will add it to the blog, but l think it may well be on there somewhere's .. The manager took a few pics on various camera's. That was a really nice meeting too:)

Bethan...how was the cake, bet its all gone. Can't remember the last time l baked a cake, the kids used to get all sorts of shapes, houses, footballs, caterpillers etc...those were the days ah:)

Von .....good to see you, hope you are ok?

Sandie...take care:)

Hazel...hope you are ok, hows your son?

Diane...you take care too??

Tec.....how are you both. ??

We have a pair of Bullfinches that visit quite often...yehhh they LOVE the DANDILIONS...we suddenly see little bits of fluffy seed thingies floating inthe air and low and behold there they are:))) beautiful. Have taken pics but not very good ones.
My course is very slow, started playing with camera abit, but not had alot of time.

Ok off for another cuppa.

Vic still not good with his chest after that blinky cold.

Ooooo the house we looked at was very interesting, needs alot of thought though. We don't want to move really but this is a bungalow (no stairs..yehh) and a downsize :((((...plus the situation re cars round here is getting silly, not that we are actually effected as we have a drive, but it annoys me, one neighbour has no thought for anyone but themselves...grrrr

back later .

Afternoon all ,
Well birthday cake is cooling so just need to decorate it and hopefully it will look nice ! I have not made a cake like this in a while so hoping it won't be too bad lol
Tonight I am treating bf to a meal in town really looking forward to it as need time out of house just us 2 .
Tomorrow I am gym bunny it and shopping , everyone seems to want to meet up for lunch and evenings my head feels like it ready to burst as I always have to check dates/times as no longer am I able to think from top of head yes or no .
It's an awful day here pouring with rain ! Thanks goodness builders did wall when they did otherwise we would still have the extra water feature lol
I have been reading back so sorry this maybe a long post lol

Sandie:Did you sort your letter box out ? in my last place any high wind and our letter box would start knocking , the agent never sorted it as it need replacing so I did a blue peter job of using sticky back plastic lol Hope you not in pain at mo .

Tec : Bf is starting to enjoy job I think . Garden ... time is a healer and that's what it needs , by end of year I am determined to have a basic garden without the rubbish . How's Taffy ? Did you know the last 3 managers who won the FA cup were called Roberto

Jude: I will be sending a donations in Jeans name to all four you mentioned as each one I normally donate too as each have affected family members in the past and on going also animal ones I do regularly too . Looks like swans manager is staying yay I however have a first team and that is Man utd and as long as I can remember Fergie was there so I was a little sad he has now retired. Na I'm not a gem I was brought up with the thought of if people need help either emotional or anything else which I have to try and help so I do :) How are you and Vic feeling ? How was house viewing ?

Sylvia: Sorry to read there been nastiness on some threads , I don't know what's gone on but I tend to find the trouble makers online normally are the sad scared people in real life :-D

Von : Glad to read you had a nice trip :-)

BMD: Hi sorry not had chance to say hello before hope to see you posting in future :-)

I've tried to comment on the blog twice ..once it wouldn't accept my password to publish..second time it appeared to let me in and looked as if it had published but it hasn't !!??
I'll try later.

Thank you for you 'kind' offer but I'll decline the snow and sleet , I'm hoping for the rain to go away !
Chat in a bit..shouldn't be on her it's foody time.

Oh !! Son got the job but it's a 2 yr contract , less money, less travelling but with BSO he has more chances of promotion...we'll see!!!
