Mornin all~~~~~

Slept in until 9.00am today :-D

Poached eggs on crumpets......yummy, thany you Cyns <3

Morning all where is our Sylvia?

Quick tidy up then off out for a while see you all later :-)

Never made it out :-(

Went on to FB to check if my friend in Australia had posted (those of you on the dark side will know her son has been very ill battling leukaemia only 16 has been fighting for nearly 5 years)

So sad to find she had posted that David died at 13.20 W.A. time today.

I do have to go out got things that need to be done BUT....

OOOhhh Linda - How VERY sad :-( :-( :-(

It puts all our 'little problems' into perspective doesn't it ???

At least we have already had a long and happy life - his was very short but I sincerely hope that he managed to have a lot of happiness in it too !

My thoughts and very best wishes are sent to his family and friends - I hope they can find some comfort in the knowledge that he will no longer have to suffer.......

So sorry to hear this news Linds. <3

RIP David, love to all your family and friends

Such sad news Linds - that poor family must be devasted. <3



I've got a bit of good news though.....have finally traced, with help from my lovely friends on here (and elsewhere ;-) ) - a brand new cousin for my OH. Just wondering about how to get in touch with him now.........hmmmmmm.


I was very naughty today, but I ain't going to tell that Dea......she'll be very, very cross with me.

But it was delicious........ :-D ;-) :-D

every where is covered with pink snow

The wind is blowing away all the pink petals from the cherry trees! :-D

The flowers are not lasting as long as they usually do ................ but the streets, grassy boulevards, sidewalks and gardens sure do look pretty all covered in the pink "snow :-D

Not too sure that car owners who leave their cars parked on the street are too happy with the petals sticking on the vehicles though :-D

Good morning all.... :-D


Hey Toots!!! Good to see you back again.... :-D :-D


Thank you for breakfast Sylvs.....much appreciated.


Busy morning.......~~~~~~~

Good morning all :-)

Thanks for the lovely breakfast Sylvs, though I will have mine a little later if you don't mind, I have woken up with a 'thick head' this morning!

My own fault - I overslept and the central heating came on while I was still asleep. By the time I woke up I felt dreadful :-(

I can't understand how people can sleep with the heating on all night - it gets SO stuffy !

Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me ? :-S
