Pat,
Never mind a six pack.......just enjoy everything you do......when it becomes a chore.....give it up.......exercise should be FUN.
I see folk out 'jogging' and very few look as if they are having any fun....the pained expression says it all.
Have a great time at your Gym, you should make friends who have the same aim as you.

Gosh Pat - 5 mph! Your little legs must have been going like the clappers.

Watch out Seb Coe.

Stephen I haven't done any weights yet.
I cycle for 1.5 miles, row 55m and use the treadmill for 15mins. I got as fast as 5 miles per hour :-D
I thought it was quite amusing when it said that it was the coolest summer for 20 years. Anyone could have told you that!
I'm listening to radio 4 now.

Evening all
Is anyone else watching "The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas"?
I have seen it before and read the book.
It is on BBC2

Linda :-) <3

George it is a wonder you and Foggy dont end up in hospital with all those scantily clothed women at the carnival. glad you had a good day there
.I thought Marilyn went off on Sunday morning early. I am sure she mentioned it on here. ?

It has got a little chilly here this evening I closed the windows. my tinitus has been playing up as well.

I am going to do myself a cup of horlick now .I cannot concentrate on reading this evening either I pick the book up read two pages and put it down again.

Hi PatricaAnn,

Been to the gym.? good for you, cant beat keeping fit.
Thought today was a little cooler, but still nice here in Winchester. how far south are you.?

Hi Stephen, you seem a jolly jack tar this evening..lol
I hope the wind didn't blow too hard up the Trossachs....lol

George :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Hi everyone,
Back from the Gym session. It was cold down south here today but would you believe that I saw people in bare arms lunchtime! :-0
I've got some pasta cooking int he oven. Not my own concoction :-D
Argyle is playing City tonight and I saw some police on horseback..
I bet the Notting Hill Carnival was colourful George.
I'll google the Trossachs photographs Stephen.

A song of Benbecula, my favourite Hebridean Island

The Dark Island

Away to the westward, I'm longing to be
Where the beauties of heaven’ unfold by the sea
Where the sweet purple heather’ blooms fragrant and free
On a hill-top, high above the Dark Island

Oh Isle of my childhood I'in dreaming of thee
As the steamer leaves Oban, and passes Tiree
Soon I'll capture the magic, that lingers for me
When I'm back, once more upon, the Dark Island
.
So gentle the sea breeze’ that ripples the bay
Where the stream joins the ocean, and young children play
On a strand of pure silver, I'll welcome each day
And I'll roam forever more, the Dark Island
.
True gem of the hebrides, bathed in the light
Like a midsummer dawning, that follows the night
How I long for the cry, of the seagulls in flight
As they circle high above’ the Dark Island

Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee
As the steamer leaves Oban, and passes Tiree
Soon I'll capture the magic, that lingers for me
When I'm back, once more upon, the Dark Island

Do a Google for 'Photos of Benbecula'

Time for tea and chilled Irn-Bru




:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Hi MO,

Put the fire on and keep warm, lol. :-D :-D :-D

Never saw any trouble there at all, in fact it was really good.
He don't need any calming down..lol it's me, what with all those scantly clad women..lolol ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Just been trying to cook a couple of trout I got from the trout farm....didn't turn out too well. :-S :-S

George :-)

Good evening all.
George, I would love to go to the carnival one year, it's something I have been promising myself for a few years now, and have never gotten round to it.
I read in the newspaper that there was a stabbing yesterday at the event. Someone got stabbed in the leg, and a bystander tripped up the person who did it, and he was arrested.
Don't tell me you had to take Foggy into a pub to calm him down a bit, after all that excitement.

I agree with Pauline and Linda, re the weather, it's been bloomin cold here today, in fact I have had a bath, and am sitting here in my jama's and dressing gown, if I had my way I would put the fire on, but im indoors would moan that it's to warm.
Think I will go and make a nice cuppa tea to warm myself up a bit.

Evening all,

Hope everyone has had a brilliant day today.

Nice to have you back from your travels Stephen, all the girls have been missing you like crazy.

We went to the Notting Hill carnival yesterday, had a fantastic day, it was brilliant, very colourful.
Some of the costumes the women were wearing were brilliant ( and skimpy ) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)
The old boy seemed be having a blinder of a time, he was chatting to a really lovely looking Japanese woman which did not go down too well with the Sloane ranger. LOL :-D :-D :-D :-D
All in all the day was great.


George :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Hi Everyone
Well another grey day here, no sun, no rain and cold !!

Hubby has gone to work. I have just painted the dressing table, not too bad. Needs a second coat tomorrow, then I'll wax it. So I'm getting there slowly but surely.

Need to do some ironing this evening.

Enjoy your evening everyone

Linda :-) <3

Afternoon everyone, I've been busy, still busy really, just popping in to say bye to Marilyn but looks like I missed her. Hope you have a lovely holiday Marilyn.

Shelly have you made and appointment at the doctors?

Stephen, good to see you're back with us, we were wondering if we should get the air-sea rescue out or just get the brooms out and look for you ourselves. Mo and Rita were all for flying up there to find you but I think it was the trawlermen they were after really.

Got to go out now............. hope you all have a lovely day.

It's bloody freezing here!!!

I walked across to the Post Office to post some birthday cards and then brought some stamps 1 book of 12 second class and two books of large second class I didnt get much change out of £20 note.

I took some blouses into the charity shop I brought three in Weym,outh last year at a famers marker all the same design but different colours tried one on in June and it was too small no good going all the way to Weymouth to change them so I gave them to the shop, they all had their labels on. I paid £5 each for those
I brought a box of wirtting paper while in the shop engraved Parchment paper with envelopes it is really lovely the headings are of old building in London.
London Bridge in 1616 Smithfiels Market in 1554.London Westminster in 1660 and more 24 sheets and envelopes all boxed I got it for £1 how about that for a bargain ?

Agatha I brought two boxes of Christmas cards last month which was on sale for Macmillian Nurses. I dont usually buy that early but I thought they were so nice and all for a good cause.
