Well I do get the occasional visitor SANDY, lol. Admittedly, not handsome young men hammering on my door these days. More likely people in my own age group who are probably bra less as well. Marks here working downstairs. They take off for Florida on Sunday. And me and Jilly the Bean are about to go to the mail box and for…

Well, I can see why we are all moved to spring clean. Not much else to do when its one degree and snow is dusting the tulip buds. My spring cleaning is almost done with all the pre Covid stuff thrown out. I desperately need a new bra! So much so that I will be viewed as a down and out soon! Of course I put all my devices…

Oh boy, normally an optimist my imagination is running wild when I think how millions can be duped by unscrupulous world leaders showing false images. Anne.

JACKIE, It would indeed be a coincidence if your David knew my ex, but probably not seeing the ex was 37 when he left RR. My ex was easily rememberable though. He was very good looking with thick wavy black hair. Much better looking than me for sure. We have been stuck inside today but I’m not complaining. We dropped from…

JACKIE, yes my ex worked at the Rolls Royce design office in Derby. He was an engine design engineer. I can’t remember the name just now but he also worked in France for a while on a French/British engine. Javelin rings a bell but probably wrong. He was sort of “poached” when RR had problems way back in 1973. Hence us…

Wow, lots of comments to read above me. First of all was SANDY, and Sandy I’m so pleased you are feeling more like the Sandy we love. Life hasn’t been exactly peaceful for you just lately and your body is definitely telling you “hey girl let’s get back to normal and just doing the things we love”. It’s a funny thing but…

JACKIE, I’m so very sorry to read the sad news, I believe Chrissie’s little dog ended up with Heather? Is Sheila looking after her now? Anne.

Another hot day, but joy oh joy, Mark and Mary Jo turned up with a new faucet for the kitchen sink. No more plop plops and best of all the underneath cupboard had to be cleared out for the repair, so more joy because you could say some of my spring cleaning is out of the way! Hi JOY. Sorry about your fall. It seems to be a…

We’ve just got up at 5;30 am and the house is warmer at 75F than it was all winter during the day when the heating furnace kept switching on at 73F. Oh boy! Earth warming indeed. Anne. 💦🙃💦
-
Pretty name JOY. I guess that’s what you brought your parents at your birth. Much Joy. Mark and Mary Jo popped in, in the afternoon to check my drippy kitchen tap. It was driving me nuts even though I’m now deaf in one ear, so poor little Jilly my hearing aid dog must have hated it. Mark did a temporary fix and I’m to get…

JACKIE it’s 25C here at the moment and could get up to 29C later this afternoon. I’ve been sitting in the garden and fortunately a cool breeze is blowing. So hang in there it will reach you eventually. Next week we drop to 7C again. What a roller coaster! The TV weather man at lunchtime said he didn’t want to hear anybody…

We are still in the midst of a heatwave! I’m no Wonder Woman LIN I just didn’t think it fair to let the two Ms do all that work by themselves. I’m like BARBIE normally, but when I mentioned I was in the mood to do a bit of gardening the other day I suspect the Ms didn’t want me tackling heavy stuff whilst they were away on…
-
Jilly and I slept for 10 hours last night despite me being as creaky as an old gate. Why, because it was 70F yesterday.and we had to join Mark and Mary Jo in the garden after they sprayed the apple trees. They pruned everything down the long side of the house and I was the sweeper upper and collector of twigs. We stopped…

Morning all. You all had a really great Easter Sunday, me as well but not at all as I expected. I made the salad and the pizza but when it got to 10am, no sign of Michael so I phoned and he was still in bed with a migraine. So me and Jilly ate lunch alone wondering if he’d got Corvid. Well he hasn’t according to the test.…

Happy Easter everyone, and also happy pagan springtime when the world wakes up, I’ll be back later because like everyone else I am busy preparing a very mixed salad to go with a vegan pizza. ANNE.

Hopeless. Still can’t get onto the my fitness pal front page. Everyone must be on holiday or quit. Anne.
-
Well, I’m here, but MFP is being cantankerous today for sure. Difficulty getting on, difficulty posting. Simply can’t get onto the calorie recording part. Oh well, I guess we all have bad days. Today was a good day especially early on then it sort of went downhill a bit. Michael turned up and took Jilly for two long walks…
-
I’ve been locked out again. Will return when I can figure things out. Won’t be for a few days though as a busy weekend is looming up. Hope you all can see this. It’s the fitness part that’s gone so far, and MFP won’t accept my password. Hope fervently everyone is well and enjoying the Easter weekend. ❤️🙃❤️🐕🦺 Anne.

Evening all. I’ve just lost my post. It wasn’t very exciting but here goes……again For a start the storm of yesterday carried on to delight folks east of us. It turned into an ice storm on the east coast and looked beautiful on the tv news with ice sculptured trees which I guess wouldn’t thrill the easterners much. Much…
-
Wow, what a day yesterday was. We woke up in the early hours to a tremendous thunderstorm. Lightening constantly making it look like day in the early hours and tremendous thunderclaps which had Jilly crawling under the bedding. Then it never stopped pouring lashing rain all day. Quite frightening so I can imagine how you…

Taxes done and in the mail. I need a Big Mac SANDY !!!!!! ANNE.

Make that the two worst grandmas BARBIE. Lol.. In all fairness though I discovered long ago when I first arrived in Canada that I am completely allergic to Macdonalds food. Terrible stomach pains so goodness knows what was in their buns, but today I suspect it was yeast which I now know I’m allergic to. My daughter in law…

Morning all, and Hello Virruth! A lady close to my own age! I read that your SIL is a cowboy? I suppose you could have called my father in law and his brothers cowboys because they ran a dairy farm with cows affectionately called daisy and buttercup. However with their flat caps, corduroy pants and wellies (think of the…

PATSY, great news from you. I’m so happy that John is back to being John again and Patsy finding your old self. The cleaning lady and her little boy sound PERFECT. Does she speak Spanish? Gosh you could be bilingual by Christmas time AND you could end up being an adopted Grandma who can draw for little boys. Derek once…

Hello! A very happy and quickie from me. I’ve finally had a phone call from Maria and guess what, she isn’t living with her kids or her sister in another town, she’s bought a small bungalow here in our town! She couldn’t bear to live in the big house by herself after Tony died, which I can understand. Anyway, she was on…

Ladies I am now being scammed it would seem by some little toe rag pretending to be my phone company. Please take care. Three messages so far. The first arrived at 6am. Anne.

JACKIE and her forecast just arrived above me. Take heart Jackie, it’s snowing outside here, BUT apparently temperatures SOAR on Monday and I guess will reach you a few days later. Anne.

Morning all. The Ms rolled up and proceeded to paint the second coat on the basement LR and one bedroom walls. It looks lovely and airy. They then shocked me by saying they will continue and do ALL the rooms which means the second bedroom, the bathroom, the kitchen, the furnace come washroom and a room with no heating…
-
Miserable day here. First pouring with rain and now mixed with snow flurries. Mark popped in to pick up an empty paint can to go and buy more matching. He still has to go to physio with his back but fewer sessions now because he finally has some relief after suffering for over three years. I personally think the time with…

Hi LIN, my problem was I got good results on my home machine for BP, but it shot to high heaven a couple of hours later on the Doctors machine. This went on for ages with me scribbling the numbers daily. Doctor Tim finally said he wasn’t a great believer in “white coat syndrome” but after taking my machine to the office…
