A damp morning for starters here in my neck of the woods but forecast to be brighter later on.
Hope all my pals are in good spirit and will have a good Sunday, I thought I might go to Chapel this morning,:guitarist it is weeks since I was last there and I do miss my singing and we are always sure there will be some good hymns both old and new.
See you all later and enjoy your Sunday too.

Hope you enjoy your day Joan:-6

Not a bad start to the morning here in Cornwall, one load of washing already on the go so hoping it will all dry outside.
Tony has just taken Sophie for her morning walk and I said I will meet them with the car:driving: at the local duckpond just after nine as I feel the hill up from there is getting to be a bit much for Tony.
:)Special hug for Sophie and of course you Joan lolxxxxxxxxxxxx

finished work at 9pm last night cos it was so quiet !!
beautiful day again and it looks like its going to last all week :-6
had to go to the bank this morning, cant find my cash point cards anywhere, i dont think anyones taken them but they are blocked now, spent a good deal of time last night searching through everything to find them but no luck.
Yes I'm still at Wells-next-the-sea, I've been chillin a bit while Chris and Andy are busy doing repairs to our VVVVVPBH ! Well I say 'and Andy' but apparently there's only work for one to do, till the repaint later in the year, so Andy is on the beach flying his very talented kite - but he insists that it is he who is the talented pilot (if that's the right word for the flyer). Actually this kiting lark is more complicated and demanding than just a kid with a single line 'kiddy kite'. The wind was pretty strong yesterday and a fella in his early 30s was 'fighting' his 'parakite' (bit like the modern freefall parachutes), it was quite a big kite and kept dragging him across the sand. We were waiting in anticipation that he would be dragged into the sea, but he was a spoil sport and 'spilled the wind' to stop that event ! Grrrrrrrrrrr
Hope you are all OK and enjoying the better weather.
Helen I sent a reply to your PM.
Carol, Joan, Kaz and Helen I'm just going to read the thread, I'll try to get back before my time is up.
xxx :-6
All you others that I haven't mentioned, I'm sorry, didn't mean to be rude but I won't know who's posted till I've read the latest ones.
Hi Lasgo, and Betty, and Kay - keep on truckin our Kay (don't know how the grandparents appear to be able to see their grandchild if it was taken away because of their abuse towards it
Joan I love your poems, I shall read them again when get home and have more time.
Kaz I'm so glad you're feeling a bit more cheerful. You did seem very down the other day.
Helen I think it will take several days for a new card and 'pin' to arrive. Andy had trouble cos the 'hole-in-the-wall' swallowed his card, and there was no reason for it to do that. His card arrived the day before we came on holiday but the new 'pin' didn't arrive till after we'd left, so he had to get our 'house checker' to ring the number through - then Andy changed it at the hole-in-the-wall next time he went. Such a bloody palaver and it wasn't his fault either. :-5
Carol, have you stopped galivanting yet Mrs Posh ?
Don't arf miss you lot. Still I should be OK Tuesday night, after I've up-dated all me security 'updates' that have accumulated since the beginning of August ! Gawd that seems years ago
Sorry nobody's here at the moment, but my time is nearly up - another 5 mins or so. Doubt I will be able to get another hour as it's so busy in here.
My dad has to stay in hospital for a while longer. they want to do another scan on his neck, apparently they said they thought they could see something in an artery in his neck, a blockage or a furring. Anyway once they have done that the surgeon will decide if they can operate or not. My brother asked what happens if they dont operate and the nurse answered well he has 3 other perfectly good arteries in his neck!!! That didnt stop him having strokes though did it??? He does seem a bit more himself though even though his balance and co-ordination are still bad, and i must admit everytime we go visit him, we get him in a wheelchair and take him outside for a smoke:o I know its bad, but i feel so sorry for him being stuck in there and he leterally only gets a smoke when we take him out at visiting. We do have to ask the ward sister and she usually says yes.
i had quite an un-productive day at work today, but im now on to my third G&T so woo hoo,,, i feel good na na na na na na na:wah:

just thought i'd tell you my mum in law had this op done on both sides of her neck, the last one being last year, although she wasnt in the same positon as your dad with the stroke, it was only a matter of time before she had one if the ops wernt done. she was 80 a couple of weeks ago and has recovered very well and the scars are barely noticable. hope that helps a bit.

My thoughts are with you Kaz..........not an easy time for you lovexxxxx
Women are bitchy and predictable ...men are not and that's the key to knowing the truth.
not a very good morning for me so far, my friend who's got my cat had one of her horses poisened yesterday. she's in the process of having her buried as i post. dont know what it was yet, waiting for vets report.
she rescued her in the first place as she had been stabbed. needless to say she's inconsolable right now and if that wasnt enough, she also had her very elderly cat put to sleep last night too.
Anyone who has pets will really like this. You'll like it even if you don't and may decide you need one.
Mary and her husband Jim had a dog, Lucky. Lucky was a real character. Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend visit they would warn their friends to not leave their luggage open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy. Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up missing.
Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of Lucky's favorite toys. Lucky always stashed his finds in his toy box and he was very particular that his toys stay in the box.
It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer. Something told her she was going to die of this disease, she was just sure it was fatal. She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders.
The night before she was to go to the hospital she cuddled with Lucky. A thought struck her...what would happen to Lucky?
Although the three-year-old dog liked Jim, he was Mary's dog through and through. If I die, Lucky will be abandoned, Mary thought. He won't understand that I didn't want to leave him. The thought made her sadder than thinking of her own death.
The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his evening walk faithfully, but the little dog just drooped, whining and miserable.
Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived home, Mary was so exhausted she couldn't even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap.
Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she called. It made Mary sad but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed. When Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong. She couldn't move her head and her body felt heavy and hot. But panic soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem.
She was covered, literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned!
While she had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life. He had covered her with his love.
Mary forgot about dying. Instead she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every night.
It's been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free. Lucky? He still steals treasures and stashes them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure.
Live everyday to the fullest. Remember it is a blessing from God.
The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most Awards.
....They're the ones who care.
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply.
Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

Hi everyone, well its hubby's 70th tomorrow and we are having a party for him on Saturday.....was going to have it in the grounds of one of the clubs but it has turned really cold this week so we are having it at home..........time for a nervous breakdown lol. Cross your fingers everyone that I survive and all turns out well.
Yes I'm still here at Wells !!!!! As has been said earlier, there was a F... up on the site and we had to move to another pitch - that took a while to sort out and I consequently missed me library visit yesterday :-1 Cos the place was only open till 1 pm.
What nice words from you all - some sad, some amazing and inspiring !
I bet I've missed you gang yet again, it's a pity that MSN is blocked to me however I try to get there. Also Skype, but maybe the chat area on here will be gettable !!! Grrrrrr - not keen on that one really, but any port in a storm !
Carol, hope you get things sorted love, and don't forget you've got some good mates on here - most of them have big ears so you can bend them OK :-4
Kaz I'm glad you feel more positive about things, must be very worrying for you though. I'm thinking of you and your family :-4
