Think I may have sorted the sleeping prob re daughter. Googling away, I found a chair/bed which seems to be ideal. It's only for one night a week and a few days at Christmas. She seems happy with it so I've bought it online tonight because it was in a blue cross sale..... :-D :-D

glad you got the beds sorted out!

He will be a new man Sylvia.

Hope it goes well.

Sylvs! All that in so shorter a time! Many thanks......

Hope your rellies have arrived safely and that you manage a good night's rest.


We have blue sky!


I repeat, blue sky!


What a lovely sight it is to be sure.

Now to find a whole load of washing to put out. ;-)

Well, there is no blue sky here Cynthia - just the usual wet wet rain ! :-(

I am having some tomato toast just now and then I will come back for a taste of everything on that lovely brunch menu.

I can't see any 'fishy things' to avoid so it is going to be a real feast today ;-) :-D

Mornin all~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Bit better weather today and we have been invited to go to a beer tasting at lunch time :-0

Where are you lot hiding then?


Just got back from beer festival, having drank only tea and water. The other lot made up for my abstinence

Hi Everyone
I was out for lunch with some of my Mums cousins we meet up 3 or 4 times a year when the cousin that stays down south comes to visit.

I had posted them an old family wedding photo and asked them to tell me who was who so was good to get them together so they could agree lol

Going to have dinner now with a glass or two of wine :-)

Enjoy.......... Linds.....................

Cynthia,

Just seen your greetings on the dark side - thank you !! Looking at that balloon just made me remember - One of them MUST be a record. In my cupboard I have 2 of those silver helium balloopns with writing on them - all puffed up as tight as they were when I first got them. One was from my 25th wedding Anniversary bouquet - (I have now been married for 41 years) !!! The other was from my 40th birthday celebrations - (I am now 61) !!

Dea Xxx

Goodness knows what 'noxious' fumes they will emit if ever they pop !!! ;-) :-0

Dea Xxx

They are still inflated?


Wow
