Hi everyone.........a very long but good day.... :-D


Everything went smoothly, except for the fact that the route I normally take to the cathedral has changed - as has the landscape.... :-S So much demolition work followed by new buildings so I got a bit lost but soon got my bearings again.


Very nice lunch at the cathedral. The caterers have changed and it's a bit 'upmarket' now.....everything is presented in an arty way if you know what I mean.

The service went well and I saw many old friends. May put a picture on the other side later.....depends when daughter emails it to me and if I like it!!!


Hope everything went well with Gins today.......

Going for a browse.

Hi all
xxx



another sunny day, but it has been cooler the last 2 or 3 days .................. about 22 or 23C, with much cooler nights.

Very nice!!

The very hot weather is due to return in a couple of days!


............ back up to around 30C

OH doesn't believe in watering the garden ................ neither the grass nor the veggies. But he's having to give the veggies a little bit at the moment!


OH was digging in the veggie patch a couple of days ago, and found a large number of potatoes that he had missed finding last year.

We shall find out if potatoes can be over-wintered in the ground!!

He weighted them earlier today ...................... we have 3½ lbs of white potatoes, and about 1 lb of blues :-D


Gins ............... I lifted my coffee cup to J ((((hugs))))



Cyn ............... I do not wish to think about what those marks are likely to be!!!


Actually, I went downtown today, the first time for several weeks .................. and OH cleaned the 2 areas while I was out, using a little hand "spot cleaner" that we have. The 2 areas look good! Plus ..................... they're not standing out against the rest of the carpet because it was all cleaned so recently!!


The cabin is now being listed on what we call the Multiple Listing ............... that means every realtor in the country who subscribes to Multiple Listing can see it, and hopefully that will widen the potential market.


If anyone wants to see, ask and I'll pm you the link .......... or I've put it up on the dark side, and you can click on it there.

Good morning........ :-D


Very overcast here, but it is supposed to be warm later on.


I'll put the kettle on and start some bacon off for our Dea.


Gins.........I've some some 'eggy bread' just for you. Thought you may need a little something to build you up a bit. :-D


Glad your OH worked wonders with the carpet Sylvs......and hope you soon get some enquiries re your cabin. It does look very attractive I must admit.


Quick browse and then I must sort myself out.

Good morning all :-)

There is a lovely smell of sizzling bacon in the air :-D - It brought me here and I now see lots of lovely bacon :-D :-D :-D

Thank you Cynths - this is really delicious !!! <3 <3

It is misty here too this morning but we are expecting another hot hot day :-)

Hope you all have a good day..........

See you later,

Dea Xxx

Mornin all~~~~~

Eggy bread, just the thing Cyns :-D

Wow, what a day. Had a beautiful service for Josie and couldn't get out of the place for people stopping me and saying 'it's like looking at Josie'....of course I added that I am much younger than she was!

We had a live link to NY for family and friends so they could be at the service.

Had a fab Irish wake but couldn't get a buddy taxi home due to Ramadan. Got one in the end by flagging a private hire and explaining the situation.

Now we have all planned a trip to NY to scatter her ashes.

Amazing send off for an amazing lady <3

Ginns - that sounds just 'perfect' !!! <3 <3 <3

I was wondering about her friend in New York - how wonderful to have been able to set up that link so that everyone over there could be 'with you' !

You have all 'done Josie proud' - she was a lucky lady to have been loved so much by so many - I am sure that she deserved and appreciated all the love that she received.

Lots of love to you all,

Dea Xxx

Sylvia glad your OH got the marks out of the carpet!

Cynthia glad you enjoyed your day in Liverpool visited the dark side lovely photo!

Dea hope you are feeling lots better <3

Gins sounds as if Josie got a brilliant wake really good that your family and friends in New York could join in. You did her proud and I am sure she was watching over you all <3 <3

Thanks Linds

She will have been watching and laughing at the amount of food and drink that was on the table :-0

A mate from Wales said 'we'll never eat and drink all that'.....we did tell her 'this is a Flanagan wake'!

What sort of 'celt' is that

:-D :-0 :-S ;-)

Did you bring me a 'doggie bag' Ginns ????? ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

Aw Dea........sorry, I forgot. I had too much champers in me blood!

Linds - they always ask me at the hospital - "in marks out of 10 (10 being unbearable), how do you rate your pain ?? (If you say a 7 they won't let you go home so - reduce it to a 3 and they let you out ;-) :-D :-D)

Anyway - Just recently it has been around 16 - 18 most of the time, occasionally going down to a 7 or 8.

Today it has been 3 - 4 for most of the day so - YES!! - I am starting to get better !!!

Dea Xxx

Good to hear Dea <3

I cant tell you how many times Ive heard the 1 - 10 scale over the last few months

Me too Ginns - you get quite 'fed up' of it !! and it means absolutely nothing !!!!!

I remember after an Op I had saying it was a 7 and the nurse said that she couldn't let me go home then as it was more than a 5 - I immediately told her it had gone down to a 3 and she knew I was lying but still let me go home - That was all I wanted - just to go home !!!

It makes a mockery out of it though doesn't it ??

Anyway - that's all over now for you and J - you don't have to think about it any more !

Get on with the rest of your life .................................. together with your lovely family.

Dea Xxx

Oooh, it's quiet here today Dea.....

It WAS quiet Ginns but just had grandchildren round with parents - they have just returned from holiday and have brought me some Spanish Newspapers to read ;-)

They certainly were NOT quiet !!! - Have gone home again now so peace is restored !!!

Gawd it is HOT !!!

Thank 'evans for my Air Conditioners......................

Dea Xxx

"they have just returned from holiday and have brought me some Spanish Newspapers to read "

Don't they sell sticks of rock in Spain then Dea?

I suppose they might Jonesey but they knew I would prefer some newspapers !!!

Like to keep up with the local news in Catalunya !!! ;-) :-D :-D
