Guess what BOB and JACKIE, despite living here I've never had a mcDonalds either! But I do miss fish and chips! Have you ever had fish and chips and mushy peas BOB wrapped in brown paper and wrapped again in newspaper to eat outside on a bench facing the cold North Sea. Oh my!!!!! I bet your Jean would love English fish…

Goodness PATSY, in some ways we are rather alike. I can't watch anything sad about animals either and turn off Marley and Me before the end! Same with little children. We both spoil and adore our girls, have messy "dungeons" (I don't see how one can paint and draw without a messy dungeon) and get yelled at by our sons for…

SANDY. Yes, Mike came over for two hours, in fact he's just gone home. He was quite frank, NOT to see me, but to see Jilly. We both took her for a long walk and then just before leaving he took her for another short walk. He had to carry her home because they met a cat. Jilly isn't keen on dogs but she adores cats. She…

I think your cottage will be wonderful when finished JACKIE! What an exciting project. Sort of going back in time but with everything new and modern as well. I wouldn't like to do it with this old house though. It was originally a box built for returning WW one wounded soldiers. The back room and back entrance was added…

Good Morning friends. Just a hint of the coming fall in the air. Cooler, darker morning. We've just had our breakfast. Weetabix and blueberries for me and chicken and yam for Jilly. I wonder what a whole new day will bring. Anne, in anticipation. 🙃🐶❤️

PS. I posted a photo some time back of my hour of glory when I played "Aladdin". I look as if I'm singing. Actually, although the piano was thumping away, I spoke the words of the song in a sort of sing song way. Just in case you wondered. It was English pantomime, comedy, and as long as you don't mind making a fool of…

BARBIE, I'm very sorry you have suffered the loss of your line dance teacher and friend. I've found that in my own case I am the last one standing over here although I do have Dawn, Noreen, Wendy and Margaret my old school friends in England. Not quite the same though with them being so far away. Loss of family and friends…

Well BOB, with the summer we are experiencing you can certainly count Canada as a hot spot! Remember yesterday and Mike and myself changing the furniture? Well I've just changed it all back. Wasn't so keen this morning. I can't see Jilly jumping on the back of the sofa either. I'm hoping Mike will have forgotten we changed…

Hello. Well yesterday was hot, hot, hot and Mark and Mary Jo came over to share Marks birthday dessert with me but wouldn't come inside because with Derek's move back loads of people were in and out of their house such as removal men and all of Derek's old friends turning up to welcome him home. Derek tells me he is very…

Healthy gums

And i forgot. Suspect the same.

Lots of info ladies. Thank you so much. Must take off, busy day starting early, but lots of info to study later, Anne the grateful.

Thanks BARBIE. I passed the Ninja Foodie info onto my sons. Mark in particular is very interested. Something for me to think about. I gather it cooks and crisps a 5 lb chicken or 3 lb of French fries amongst other things. Anne.

Essential groceries

Great post BOB. Your cruise reminded me of when my ex and I sailed back from a holiday in the isle of Jersey. No kids then! A tremendous storm lashed us. People throwing up everywhere. We couldn't use the washrooms the floors were so bad! The ex and I remained on the lurching deck preferring the storm to the mess inside…

Absolutely horrible out. Very wet and humid. Short walk but I was dripping by the time we got back. No more walkies today with another 30 in the forecast by noon. I shall wash the sheets instead from my move to the front bedroom. Oh oh, BOBs name just showed up on the flash at the bottom of the screen. Let's see if his…

Engine oil

Well, I'm beginning to realize I don't walk alone when it comes to.burning things on the stove. Thanks girls! Mark, on being told I nearly burnt his house down suggested I buy an air fryer. What on earth is an air fryer? How can something working with hot air brown chips? Mark hasn't a clue, any of you girls or BOB possess…

Heat.wave

Wash day

Well, I had no right telling JACKIE not to climb ladders. Not after what I did. Michael phoned to tell me about his visit to his lawyer (trying to get his payments reduced to the ex after only having $68 left to live on in his bi-weekly cheque) and I was so interested I didn't realize I'd left the chip pan with olive oil…

And I'm over the moon. Walking Jilly I could see my old neighbour Darren in his front. Their tenants left last week after a two year stay, and Darren, Katherine and the girls have returned permanently from the UK. They are in two weeks quarantine but I'm so pleased because they are a lovely little family. Katherine was…

More maybe later because I'm just going for a shower on a cooler, hopefully, Jilly walk day, but wanted to let you know what the radio weatherman said this morning. No surprise Bean got heat stroke with the rest of us looking like last weeks wilted lettuce. We have had this summer 30 days of temperatures of over 30 degrees…

Credit cards.

Actually SANDY I shifted everything whilst the family where involved with Derek and Bevs move. That way I knew they wouldn't show up unexpectedly and I know none of them will notice what Moms been up to, hee hee! You don't make it to 84 without learning a devious trick or two, and Bean isn't telling. I am a lumberjack, and…

Birthday cards

Just saying hello before I go for a shower. TREMENDOUS thunderstorm last night had the Bean shivering with one hot little body cuddled up to me. Good news about Bean. Everything back to normal and I'm convinced it was heat stroke. Which makes me wonder if that is what you are suffering from JACKIE? Mark had heat stroke as…

Bread pudding.........LOVE bread pudding!

Before I go for my shower, AWWW, LIN. And George as well. Lovely and so true. Anne and Jillo 🙃🐶❤️ Love the parrot picture behind George's chair, lol.

Morning, brief but just wanted to say that little Bean was so much better overnight I've decided to just stay home in the cool because another day in the jungle is forecast. I'm beginning to suspect her problem is and hopefully was heat stroke from the four hours spent in the garden with me and followed up by long walks…
