Dear me...........talk about double meanings........ :-S ;-)


Such a huge amount of ironing today..........I think the neighbours must have been popping their washing into the basket whilst I wasn't looking...... :-S I just worked away listening to a thriller and enjoying it.......


Seems as though town was packed with 30,000 this afternoon - all for the showing of a certain football cup! :-D :-D :-D

I got an email late yesterday afternoon ....................

son of my English cousin "arriving late tonight" :-0

He's coming on business, and wondered if we could have dinner.

Tonight and Tuesday are our only free nights ................... Graduation ceremonies start on Wednesday morning, 4 a day, OH goes to all of them .......... he'll be knackered each day!


Tried to reply to the email ................ my server wouldn't talk to A's server :-S



anyway, finally got in touch ...................... dinner out tonight :-D



Last time we saw A was 16 years ago (almost to the day) ............

.......... he was then a PhD student over here to attend a conference in Montreal, and took the chance to ride the Greyhound bus across the country to visit us. He stayed several days, and attended daughter's BA grad ceremony!

What are you lot like??? I never even thought of the "other" meaning :-D

Made me smile the picture it conjured up In future I will say OH has gone to the refuse depot ;-)

SylviaInCanada Report 21 May 2013 01:14

we do say we're going TO the dump :-D


there was the famous summer when we decided to really try to clean up the cabin property ............. there were at least 3 areas that had been used as dumps, and we were fed up with looking at them.

So we kept filling up the trailer with "stuff" .................. it varied from an old TV, parts of old motorcycles, plant material, bits of old carpeting, and who knows what else

It was 40 km each way to the area dump ............................. we made 10 return trips over one 3 week period .....................


that was a total of 800 km to and from the dump :-D


we often sang ................... "to the dump, dump, dump"

We are very refined ... we go to the refuse station or to give it its full title: refuse transfer station.

Best not to sing...

Good morning all ! :-)

Sylvia - you have made my day !! :-D

I am going to have the Huevos rancheros today and you have typed it correctly on the menu !! :-D :-D :-D

For as long as I can remember, you have been mis-typing it as huevAs which, of course is a type of fish roe at best, or at worst, a very naughty word ;-) ........ I never liked to correct you but as a 'Spanish speaker' it always jumped off the page at me! - Today, you have it correct and I am REALLY enjoying them :-D :-D :-D

Thank you Sylvs,

Morning all. I haven't done a runner, my router has broken and I couldn't get on t'internet. Spent all day trying to resolve matters including trying other routers that I had but no joy. My ISP has agreed to send me a new router but I am not likely to get it before Friday. Fortunately I am just in range of a public Bt Wi-Fi hotspot

I was speaking metaphorically Gins... I have actually never been to a transfer station despite working for a Recycling company.

Rubbish collection 120L MGB, is once a week but our small amount of rubbish = a collection every three months so we put in timber off cuts, tree branches etc.

Recycling 240L MGB once a fortnight.

The birds would probably like to have a shotgun so as they could stifle you..

Thanks Dea

Everything will go well. They are only keeping an eye on me because I don't fit the profile of people who usually get this condition. Also means I get to spend some time with Mum as she lives not too far away from Liverpool so make a week of it :-D

I'll go in and say

"Hi James, How are you keeping?, I'm fine",

then fill in some paperwork and say see you in three months. He's very good to me. I'm his healthiest patient with this condition :-D
