Thank you for breakfast Sylvs.........gosh Dea, we're spoiled this week aren't we?

Frilled mushrooms and barking tomatoes........can't wait to see what is on offer tomorrow..... :-D :-D :-D


(have now got slight hysterics at the thought of a bunch of tomatoes going 'woof-woof'' at me) ;-)


I am off to the Carers Centre today for some 'holistic therapy' - hopefully a head massage............I just love a head massage........ :-)

Thank you Sylvia
It did go well but most that contraptipn is still attatched to my leg

I think Toots has the hic ups............

I managed to avoid the OFTED inspectors today but I think they are coming to me tomorrow :-0

Linds, tomorrow (Friday if anyone hadnt noticed) I am having an evening alone. JB is off to the match (Play offs)

I shall buy a bottle of wine, stick it in the fridge, have a shower, eat a meal that JB will have left me and chill on the sofa.........in my pj's :-D :-D :-D

Saturday, JB wants me to help chose a new suit for work, he told me he nearly bought one yesterday but didnt as he wants my opinion........thank goodness. He was talking about one with white trim on the pockets :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0

I said he'd look like an over paid footballer in that....he acknowledged the point

Sounds like a pleasant evening in store Gins.......relax and enjoy!


I'm disappointed :-( Never did get my massage - the lady called in sick apparently. The next appointment I can make is in.............July :-0


So, I took my friend out instead and, just as we were leaving the garden centre, I spotted a mutual acquaintance we hadn't seen for several years! It was lovely catching up with her and her husband. :-D


Going for a quick browse whilst tea is in the oven.......

Sylvia "they" are talking about snow in some parts of Scotland :-( :-(

Cynthia shame you didn't get your massage :-(

Hi Linda

Congrats on your anniversary!



They had snow on most of the mountain passes into the Interior of BC on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday

As much as 80cm fell on one of them.


WE just had rain!

Please can you make your own breakfast?

I've just heard that our friend, and J's godfather, died about 1¾ hours ago

Mornin all,

I had a rude awakening this morning. At just after 5am my slumbers were disturbed by a squadron of honking Canada geese. Geese as you probably know honk a lot during flight as well as performing that other nasty habit of theirs, "Bombing" anyone or anything below their flight path. Indeed it is said that if a goose hasn't had a bowel movement in the last 10 minutes then it is probably constipated.

The geese are in temporary residence on one of the large pond / small lakes in the park opposite my house. The park which was once part of someone's private estate has 2 such ponds/lakes, one natural the other man made. The natural one has an island complete with a derelict folly on it. Throughout the year it provides a home for many different types of water fowl ranging from Moorhens to Swans and lots in between. If you like watching birds then an hour sitting on the bank is an hour well spent.

As well as the geese there is also a flight of ducks in residence at the moment. If geese are the bombers then the ducks are the fighter planes, flying round the area in tight formation. Every year for the past few years a pair of swans have chosen the site to rear their young. They build a large circular nest, often over the path around the water, and sit the nest until the cygnets hatch. Once hatched they take to the water and begin their training. It is amusing to watch them when the parent birds are teaching take off technique. The whole family "Run" from one end of the lake to the other, swim back to the start and then do it again, over and over.

Anyway enough of this ornithological rambling. What time is breakfast served?

Of course we can Sylvs - So very sorry to hear your sad news <3 <3 <3

Good morning all :-)

I have set out the cereals, yoghurts, fresh fruits etc.....

Fresh Croissants and Danish Pastries..

Porridge is bubbling on the hob.

There are hot rolls, platters of various cheeses and hams, various spreads and jams, crackers, toast etc.............

Hot 'stuff' is in the pans and under the grills........... sausages, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans and fried bread.

Tea, coffee and juices..

Enjoy <3

P.S. Jonesey - that is a wonderful 'picture' you have created there - I wish I could spend the day peacefully watching all those lovely creatures - SO relaxing.

Sylv ((((( <3)))))

Jonesey, if they bomb your car, wash it off straight away or the paintwork will be damaged

Mornin all~~~~~~~

Good morning.......... :-)


Very sorry to hear the sad news Sylvs.....(((hugs))) xxx


Dea, you came to the rescue........thank you.......I've had the porridge but am very tempted by that fried bread.......ooooooh......norty norty norty!!


Happy 38th Anniversary Linds.......have a great day. <3

Thank you for the ornithological spiel Jonesey......I love watching the geese fly overhead in their formation. It sounds as though you have an idyllic view from your house - must be so relaxing at times.

Funnily enough, on the subject of birds, whilst looking up at the sky yesterday, I spotted what I thought was a glider aircraft and then realised it was a large bird. I called upstairs to OH (who is interested in such things), for him to take a look. He came down and told me that there were, in fact, two of them and he actually wondered if they were vultures!!!

We back onto a country park and have a large field behind us and we occasionally see herons but, OH says that he couldn't see the long legs which herons have. But Vultures??? :-S



Going for a browse.......see you later ~~~

Cyn,

It sounds to me as if they were most probably Buzzards.

(((((HUGS))))) Sylvia, so sorry to hear your sad news. <3

Jonesey it sounds like you back onto a very idyllic place. My friend, who is really into bird watching would be jealous. I love the picture you paint of the swans learning to fly.

Congratulations Linda on your anniversary

Sylvia so very sorry to hear your sad news (((Hugs)))

Jonesey how peaceful to sit and watch the antics of all those lovely birds.
What a vivid picture you painted of all their antics :-)

Typical weather cos we are going out it is pouring and cold :-(
