LOL... when I saw that happening.. I kept thinking what if he gets the error message.. :-S

Oh poor Jonesey........you must be SO bored......... ;-)


Have been for a nice walk and met someone we haven't spoken to for a while, which was nice.

Came home, had coffee and then washed the kitchen ceiling and walls......as you do!


Off to a quick meeting about things including Child Protection etc. at church.


Have a good afternoon all...... ~~~

Well done Jonesey - I used to do that for Fanns too !

Hope she is doing well ??

Are you enjoying your free time ??

What are all the lovely things you are eating which you are not allowed to eat when the others are at home?

I like to have things that they do not like to eat like slow cooked breast of lamb with garlic and rosemary or thinly sliced lambs liver served on a salad with oil and balsamic vinegar dressing............... LOTS of other things too.

I expect you just have more cups of tea and unlimited fags as and when you want them ?? ;-) :-D :-D

Totally unhealthy but probably highly enjoyable ? <3

Let us know if you need anything.

Today is OH's birthday.

Our son and DIL had us and her parents round for lunch :-D :-D

Was really nice of them as they have to up at 3am to go to airport are away for a week so we will not have and GD duties for a week :-)

Much as I love them we have had them a lot over the past few weeks so a week off will be nice. I will miss them though :-D

Might not get back on till later as we are all going out for dinner (except the holidaymakers)

Off to get ready.

Yeah MC......my ex once sent me a xmas gift, all wrapped up with a bow and such.

Opened it, it was a plug, with a note 'I'll send you the chair next year'.....see why I dumped him

......I cant see a being 'sick' emoticon

Oh for the memories :-0

I can SO see why you dumped him Ginns - JB is much nicer !!! :-D

I do know what you mean Linds - 'my lot' are going away around 5th July - I am SO looking forward to a week off, though, I too will miss them lots !!

Evening All

Friday is a bank holiday on the Island because its senior race day, last race of the TT.

We also have the 5 July as this is Tynwald Day. We have an open parliament that day and the locals can petition the government at Tynwald Hill. It is the oldest parliament in the world.

We had the two Bank holidays in May and the one in August as well as the Easter and all the ones at Christmas.

Sounds like your looking forward to your weeks holiday Linds :-)

I love the sound of that slow cooked lamb Dea

Oh, so you're not crackers then!

Thank you for clarifying that Mrs T

I wouldn't go that far Gins.

When I had tests from the doctor recently he said they came back normal so I asked for it in writing cos nobody will believe I'm normal LOL :-D

I can relate to that Toots !!!!!
