Mo you cheeky devil I need something but it isnt a sling at the moment.although my wrists are aching I think it is because I have put a strain on the left one because I am using it more than the right now,

when I lived in Ealing someone gave me about 20 Sari's for my Scouts Christmas and Summer Fetes I left some whole but the others I made into squares and the were square head scarves and I sold out of them the bits left over i made into dolls dresses and they sold as well the sari's only one went.
they were very nice colours and everyone was pleased with the scarves.

we had rain this afternoon I dropped off to sleep after dinner as I had done a lot of walking in the morning only slept half an hour when i woke it was raining heavy .

Made 300 for Olly

Been out shopping this evening getting youngest a new mattress. She's been complaining of a bad back, lets hope this helps.

Mo and Rita I didn't buy anything in Southall as we didn't stop in the shopping area only at my Aunt's house. I do love the material of saris. I remember seeing them drying on the line when I had an Indian family living next door in Hayes. Also when I had my first baby in Hillingdon Hospital a new mum showed me how she put on her Sari. It's quite an art.

Be away soon

Oh Marilyn, some of the ladies on another thread were wondering where in America you are staying?

Morning all or sleep well to Marilyn
Thanks for the cuppa

The thread was "Just Jean", and I knew you were in America but not where?

Not very nice here this morning, not forecast good for tonight either. I personally don't like fireworks very much, too expensive and gone in minutes. I don't mind organised displays, not sure if there are any locally.
Luckily our children are all adults now.

Catch you later

Hi Everyone.

So now I'm wearing mine every day here so the American folk will know about our Service Men way or another ..LOL

It was so hot last night that I had to sit on th deck outside for AIR, our air con don't seem to be working very well, got to get that fixed today ,almost had a panic attack !!

Marilyn, you need to try harder to push that sun our way, would you like some of our cold air to cool you down?

Rita, when I went to vote for Olly, he had 307 votes and mine made 308, but when I looked again it was back down to 307. Don't know what happened there.

Think it's time we had a cuppa.

Marilyn
thats right rub it in having hot weather I am going to huff and puff tonight so you get a little bit of our weather..
you were talking about wearing your poppy on the plane I was speaking to the old fellow who is selling poppies outside Waitrose his been doing it for a couple of weeks all weathers he was telling me some of his f riends went across on a plane to visit the places they were at during the war in France and they wanted to visit the big cemetery where their friend were buried.( he is well into his his 80's )and he told me were wearing their medals and was told they could not because of the pins and were made to take them off.. I think they were given them back when they got off the plane.but I think that was disgusting.
Pauline I told you thats what happened to me they printed in red that I had already voted that day when I did my vote this moring it said 306 I am going to do another one this evening
