Hello everybody, we've had such a lot of bad news on the sneakers just lately, either with loved ones, friends - human and furry/feathery and family that it's difficult almost to be positive at times, and thank goodness for all the lovely photos, human and furry/feathery to cheer us all up. So, on a positive note, whilst…

Sad day Jackie. So very sorry.

Hi Sandy I guess your new dentist is either from Northumberland or the Scottish border. Just north of my birthplace and of some of my ancestors. I am a bit late aren't I, but instead of a note I can tell you a tale of the dentists of my childhood. I guess most dentists were in the armed forces, us Brits being embroiled in…

Jackie Rugby, lucky you! I used to go on the bus to matches on a Saturday quite often with my Dad! It was football or soccer with the husband of the day, but I preferred rugby. Hull City Early Birds. My dad covered my ears when the language got bad or eyes when someone lost their shorts in a scrum. Mind you I was only…

Buzz so sorry! Poor Mike. Sounds like the steamy heat was just too much, with the bus delay and all. Patsy Phoebe is right, you are indeed honoured, and you are being presented with a gift from the cat. We are over-run with black squirrels, and grey squirrels, and small reddish squirrels, not to mention bunnies, opposums,…

Just a final cheep from me about vitamins, supplements and medications. I saw a news item and it turns out that in some cases vital medications are no longer working. Guess what, they are no longer made here at home, but are now imported from China. Further analysis found that some are watered down to go further and make…

Hi patsy my lovely talented friend, I must put the record straight. Alas, the red highlights I once had are now a mousy brown intertwined with white or grey bits. The ravages of time. Anne

I don't take vitamins or supplements. For me a good balanced diet gives me everything I need and I personally think they are money down the drain (or maybe toilet!) My mother 91, cousin 92, aunt 96 etc in the UK never took vitamins or supplements and barring accidents were fit and healthy until they died of old age. So…

This week is my week for strange happenings. So here I am, quietly eating my leftover homemade cheese and onion quiche, when a huge truck comes onto my drive and proceeds to drop off an equally large dumpster. I rush out to ask a large, hot, pink faced chap why he's dropping off a large dumpster. "Because my order form…

Jackie re your friends visit to the Cotswolds and Japanese tourists taking photos of English hanging baskets, is it possible that if I go outside and sit under the apple tree with my knitting I could be immortalized in some oriental photo album with a caption that reads "ancient grandmother pursuing native craft under…
-
Just thought I'd share something strange with you. As you know I have an apple tree in my front garden. At the moment it is full of red apples. I could hear people loudly talking in a language not English and I looked out of my front window. There on my lawn was a bunch of maybe Chinese or Vietnamese people. They were…

First off, I keep checking in to see how Phoebes Jim is doing and hope he is feeling much better by now. What a horrible scare! Next of course another little sweetie, Sarah, Jeri's grand child, brightens our day. As for me, I'm happy. Mark rolled up yesterday and installed my new garage side door. It just needs a topcoat…

Agree with SANDY, as regards the male population, you're a good looking gal, with a super haircut!
-
PHOEBE, I'm very sorry to read about Jim! You've had a tough time just lately and I hope you have good news from the tests the next time you post. In fact it's been a tough time for a lot of you, be it yourselves, or loved ones! the good news, as always, is the babies. Congratulations on your third grandchild PHYLLIS. I…

And so you do, thanks LIN Today is my learning day!

Bold Let's try.

LIN, You are SO tidy! Makes my place look like "The Wreck of the Hesperus"! And as for my garage, least said soonest mended! Hey I'm still posting with no mishaps! Question: how do you BOLD words on the IPad?
-
It appears to have worked!! I'm so sorry so many of us, or our loved ones are having such a tough time at the present time, but won't comment individually as I don't want to press MY luck, but wish everyone speedy recoveries and the best of luck. Anne.

Hi everybody, Patsy gave me instructions on how to stop the yards and yards of photos, caption comments, and other people's comments all appearing on here. If I'd posted it would have taken up pages of our community page. I don't think the person who sent me this "circular" I suppose you'd call it, had a clue what she was…

Fast track

Hi, I've just lost my post and for no apparent reason! What IS going on? It's all very strange. I was just hoping we'll hear from PATSY soon, and with good news regarding her girl, when poof, everything vanished into thin air! It's a glorious September day here. The horrid humid temperatures from over a week have…
-
Hi JACKIE, great to hear from you and with such positive news! Just like you say, onwards and upwards from now on! Looking forward to the photos from your treasure hunt, but take your time! Something to look forward to! I hope the pets allow you to have a long deserved zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and it's pretty late tomorrow in…

Power cut

JACKIE, for comparison with your bargains, here's my 58 year old GPlan bedroom furniture. My chest is an eight drawer. Sorry to bore everybody else! Anne.

Hello, today we woke up to rain, heat, and humidity. It honestly feels like a steam room in my place and I'm about to leap into the tub in an effort to cool off. It's so sticky that to be honest I feel a little nauseous and you can bet that next May I'll be clamouring to have the AC installed. Mark, MJ and Derek came over…
-
PHOEBE, thank you. It is very reassuring to know you had the same weird thing happen. I wasn't sure how to explain it. Anne
-
Love it JACKIE! So true! Anne

LIN, I think that's what happened to me with my emails on my iPad. I mentioned it earlier. I thought I maybe had a virus. I ended up deleting all email accounts and the browser history and now everything seems back to normal. I was horrified at the time because OTHER people's emails (nothing to do with me) were flashing by…

Good morning! It is already SIZZLING here. However, the weatherman says relief is in sight come Wednesday. What a hot summer we have had, or maybe I'm just noticing it more being daft enough not to have had the window AC installed. It has to be removed in the fall because of draughts and it's very heavy, so at least I've…

Hello everybody, this labour weekend is a hot sizzle one! Could be a busy one too if younger son managed to find a new door for my present very old and warped garage side door! Then once installed it will need painting of course. My two sons are SO different both in body, looks and personalities that one would hardly know…
