Hello each !! What a lovely day again ! I text Carol to wish her well selling, then my mobile rang so I answered

'Hello !' I don't get many mobile calls you see

'Hello ! ' I repeated, 'Hello !' again, and I could hear background voices, so I thought that somebody had accidentally pressed a 'quick key' and got my number ! So I said 'Hello, hello' a bit louder................... then a voice the other end said 'Hello !! .......who's that?'

'Hello, ......... ere Carol is that you mate?'....................... ' Ummmm who's that ?' was the reply, 'It's Gill, you rang me !' ............................' Oh, did I ? .........don't know what happened there then, I got a text'..........more background chatter - sounded busy..................'I must have pressed a wrong button !' then Carol started to laugh, I was already laughing. Carol said ' I'll catcha later mate, I'm serving at the moment !' so still laughing the pair of us rang off :wah:

Anyway hi to Kay, Hope, Kathy Ellen, Chezzie, Helen - glad your Wally has got the all clear matey !

Chezzie you really shouldn't go upsetting our Kay like that with such grrrr pictures on a Saturday morning !!

Have a good day everybody, and don't work too hard, those who have to work on such a nice day :-6 :-4

Evening fellow FOC'ers! :-6

Hi Chris, How are you coping with this hot weather !!??:-6

Well today hasn't been that bad thanks Gill, though last night we had awful thunder, lightning and really heavy rain, and all out of nowhere. I was telling Kaylene last night that I thought it was the end of the world. Actually the weather now is just like it was then, so it makes me wonder what tonight has in store! :-3



How about you?

I'm fine Chris thanks. Been very warm here today and a bit of a worry where to take our elderly German Shepherd for a walk in the shadiest place, as he has such a thick coat bless him. He's 11 1/2 years old, going on 4 !! I don't do hot sun either, so I hide in the garden under our Eucalyptus tree :wah: We haven't had any thunder storms here in Notts. yet, but there are a few clouds gathering ominously from the south east, which I think is your direction !!:( Mind you I think thunder and lightning is very spectacular, as we are fairly high up where I live, and we overlook the River Trent valley, and storms tend to follow the river, so we can see them approaching !!

Ah so I may be right then is assuming we could get some bad weather again tonight. The thing is we were hit about 10pm last night, and of course with it being so dark and considering where we live, I wouldn't have seen it coming. Which doesn't help as flooding is a real possibility here, and the last thing we need is for it too hit during the night, and there will only be the two of us here to cope, so fingers crossed!



Oh and when the hot weather hits I just spend the day sitting next to my portable fan, no idea where I would be without it!!

You'd be a bit warm ! :wah:

Well if you are that worried about flooding, you should move precious stuff upstairs, and as much stuff off the floor as possible, downstairs. Have you been flooded before, Chris ?

It's actually our garage that gets flooded quite often because we have a slope that leads down to it, and the drain system can't cope with a lot of water. We've had some bad cases where the whole place has been flooded and done a bif of damage. We've took some steps already for future ones, but still it takes a lot of time to clean up and being basically on my own at night, is something I don't want!



At least it won't do too much damage though should we get hit, more hassle than anything more permantly damaging!

Hi Kaz and Chris! sorry i missed you guys :-4

Hi Helen! i see your name lurking at the bottom of the page!:wah::-4

evenin all,

had a good day today, finished work and my boss said lets go out for the afternoon, her sons now got his own car so shes got hers back now and i think she just wanted to go out for a drive :rolleyes:

so we went to camborne and a big market,had a burger each and a massive ice cream, one half was honeycombe, the other was maple syrup and something, went down a treat.

we both bought stuff we didnt need and forgot stuff we did need.

when you live in a town like i do and dont get out much, it was just brilliant to see the countryside in all its glory, which is where i belong anyway !! never have been a townie:D

hi hope

hows the weather with you now ?? its like mid summer here not the middle of may.
