Haven't been far today, only to the chippy. Feel very ouchy and tired. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Just thought I'd ask, what are all the puss cats up to? I have a stack of brooms beneath our Spindle Tree, with tiny paw prints leading through the gate and out into the back alley and on to the car park beyond. Very strange.

Kitty

Coo, I'd just finished my last post and everything has gone back to normal. Thank you techies.

bubbles

morning - nice and bright and breezy, perfect temperatures If it was like this all the time, I would cope just fine.

I bet you are shattered Toni, with the extra walking at the show too, Miss Lucy keeping you on your toes :shock: Who said they were going back again, not you I am sure :?
Have a little rest, please.

So, you are off to la belle France, wonderful, you can kick back and jump in the pool too. (Piccies). Enjoy, enjoy Bonne route. Hope you have a lovely time with your Sister today

I am sure Miss Sleek and Pepe will put their transportation powers to good use and visit French air space. Pepe does not know about the teleporting function, best let Miss Sleek explain it to him, or we will never find him :shock: :shock:

Bless, Miss Diddicat chirruping at her broomstick, yes, they can natter and there are small screens on the handle, so they can see each other. They were both giving high praise of Miss Jericat, only her second lesson and she is flying very well.

I will make sure the hedge trimmers go away before I sit down for a hair cut.

Well - I started this at 11am. Now it is 4pm. :roll: :roll: Mum n dad came round, then it was lunchtime, B cut the grass verge at the front, then I did the ironing (yes, I was wilting). Then neighbour who is rarely here, always away somewhere hot, popped in and put an order in for some jewellery, so B has been busy with that.

Hi to Barbara, Kath, Kerrin, I will write more later, as it is pill time now and I need me a sit down comfortable for a little while. Obviously with the tennis on, of course.

Time for something nice to drink and a snack..........................

Fresh lemonade and lemon cake, nice and refreshing xxxx Take care. Later XX Aidan



Thank you to the tech team for bringing the forum back to normal sizes, most grateful.

Evening to everyone, quite pleasant, not too warm, apart from when I did the ironing....... :?

Yes, some hello's from France will be lovely Toni, no, I am not jealous at all, Wimbledon and now France............Are you flying / driving ?

I assume that Tia / Charley are attending to Miss Sleeks every need
An old lady like you, nooooooo, I guess we feel older than our years sometimes, with arthur poking its nose in at every opportunity. :roll: :roll:

Keep safe and take care

Hi Joan, I think Roger would be my favourite to win - I know he has won everything and more, but one more grand slam to take his total to 19. He is a real ambassador to the sport, as it Nadal. Hope you are having a nice week end, out and about in the good weather. I think it is warmer in your neck of the woods, than up here in Lancashire.

Hi Barbara, it is nice to have the forum back to its normal size, although for the tired eyes, it was easy to read when the text was HUGE.

The Murray match was a bit touch and go, we thought he was going to loose at one point. Fognini can play like a demon if the mood takes him. He is always getting warning from the umpires, for one thing and another.

Rogers wife has been a real rock, for all these years, always there at just about every match he plays. His parents go as often as possible too. I haven't seen the twins as much this year, the girls go if it is a big final match.

We are just catching up with the tennis now, Roger and Sverev, Roger is way out in the lead now -

The weather has been really good for Wimbledon this year, I remember times when the water was pouring down the steps and everything was a washout. Was that the time Cliff sang to the crowd.

The letters from the House of Commons are really posh, I have quite a collection now Very nice paper and envelopes.

More houses, oh goodness, we need to find you a lovely new park home. There is a real house building boom at the moment, so much green space has gone from a lot of places, it is the same here in the Ribble Valley, an area of outstanding natural beauty, which it is. Clitheroe has so many new properties and hardly any of them could be classed as "affordable", they are 4 and 5 bedrooms :shock: :roll:
You do right to have a rant. Glad you had a reply, but the news was not so favourable, was there no mention of the road and the dangers?

Hi Kerrin, glad you had a wonderful day at Wimbledon, I bet you were shattered, not getting in until 11. I bet you were hot, sat in the sun, hope OH was not grumpy. Heather did have her chances to win, you are quite right.
Fognini makes me smile, he is often chatting to himself, getting annoyed, etc. But he can play so well, then other times, he cannot buy a ball.
Yes, the Puskins were all there, way up high, keeping an eye on proceedings. Jericat is doing really well, I think there is a little bit of magic in Jericats broom, it must have passed on from Miss Sleeks. I think it is more to keep the broom stable and give it a "return to home" function, should they get separated.

Have a restful Sunday

Hi Kath, sending hugs to get those ouches under control, ((())) plus some lavender pats and some cuddles from the bush babies.

Getting to the chippy is great, good reward on arrival mmmm

So the puskins are all up to something, I did hear Pepe talking to Miss Sleek about a secret garden, a magic garden, one that they conjured up with their broomsticks. The paw prints that go past the gate, are to throw people off the trail, the garden is through an invisible gate, next to the real one.
I have a feeling it is a garden busy with meeces and voles, Miss Sleek is trying to teach Pepe how to catch them, for the little owls. I am not sure how he will get on

The **** are all fine thank you Joan, doing what they do best :animal_busy: in between the broomstick adventures.

I hope everyone else is ok, Carol, Charrisse, Elizabeth, Mig Christine (big wave from us all here).

I will have a look for our n night pic, it is a full moon tonight, lovely and bright. Apparently it can have an adverse effect on sleeping, often keeping people awake? Strange. Everyone take care XXXXX Aidan



Something for breakfast too.

barbara12

Morning all...
Toni is off to France, how lovely ..a shame you have to be back Wednesday..but a nice treat you relax and enjoy..I have never bean, but seeing it on the TV I would love the slow relaxed way of life.. you enjoy seeing your sister ..
Joan no change in the speeding traffic ... :x I get so mad because there are a few children on this road..hope you are all ok including the little doggies..
Kerrin no wonder you are tired..don't think I could sit for that long now..in fact I know I couldn't..maybe a nice gentle swim to recover..and what a brilliant match you saw with Andy and Fognini...did you hear him swear , I didn't ..
Kath walking to the chip shop is worth it, sid you eat them on the way home..I used to love coming home in the dark eating fish and chips form the newspaper..heee bliss...hope you can get out today for a little walk..
Aiden...hope you did hide the strimmers don't want you with tram line now.. I love the invisible gate to the hidden garden.. I want to live there.. so OH has more orders..it will keep him entertained..he must be really proud of himself..right the rd the MP says he has passed on our concern with pics the council and police..this has been done many a time..were did use to have the police using the speed cams and pulling people over ..but they are now so short staffed ...but never say die..I am thinking of my next step.. it would be wonderful if Feddera won for one last time like you say Nadal and him are such good ambassadors for the game
Right will have a look what you left for breakfast..what would we do without you...
Love to everyone xxxxxxx

Kitty

The Ouchies have practically gone. I don't know whether it was Aidan's hugs, the lavender pats, the Bush Babies cooling kisses, or the fact that I changed my patches this morning. Probably a bit of everything.

So mystery solved. Your explanation of puss cat activity explains everything Aidan, we do have a lot of meeces and voles. I'm glad they have been round, as we haven't had the foxes round this year to keep the numbers down. And I know they won't harm the frogs and toads.

No Barbara, we didn't eat the chips on the way home. Far too hot, and I'm not very clever at pushing my rollator with one hand. So we took them home and have them indoors.

Time for some cooling lemonade and delicious lemon cake. 8) Yummy.

bubbles

Afternoon all, a pleasant one, quite warm, but there is a breeze which is keeping me just above wilting. OH is wilting after cutting the hawthorn hedges :? We, well I say we, B planted them front and back of our plot, they were just little twigs, now they are six foot tall and lovely.
All the Sparrows and other birdies love them, plus the insects

Hi there Barbara - yes Toni will be en france. It is a totally different way of life, especially in the countryside, where we spent most of our time. Always a siesta after lunch, no one rushes, everything is a demain, which means, tomorrow is fine.

I think we would have to potter if we went to Wimbledon, sitting through a match, we would set like stone and have to be prized out of our seats :shock: :roll:
They are all having a well earned rest day today, ready for tomorrow.

Chips in newspaper, they were the best, not that it would be allowed now, for health and safety reasons :roll: :roll: in case you ate a little ink. How did we all survive. Paper was better than those polystyrene boxes, that don't degrade.

I did have my hair cut, before the hedge trimmer came out, so no tram lines, :shock: Feels much better, I just love having it cut, I could stand it every day. B might have other thoughts on that :shock:

The invisible garden was only unlocked because of the magic in the broomsticks, secret gardens are the best, do you remember the series on tv? I am sure Kath won't mind them popping by and then vanishing through the wall
There is no stopping them now. Miss Sleek and Pepe have been up on top of Pendle, they had a picnic, magic'd out of thin air, tuna, salmon, mayo, butter...........
They also wanted some catnip grass to roll around in, but their spell casting is not up to par yet, Miss Sleek got a Turnip and Pepe got Sprouts :shock: :shock: Maybe a little more practice is needed.

They are both at home now, resting.

I am glad your MP has passed on your concerns to the Council and the Police. See what transpires, hopefully something positive. You have done just about all you can, apart from keep on at the Council, wear them down, like I do,

I hope Roger does win again, it is going to be one of the top 4, Roger, Raffa, Andy, Novak.

You enjoy the breakfast, it is nearly time for me to sort some tea and cake.

Hi Kath I am SO glad that the ouches have faded, that is wonderful news. A combination of all things I am sure. Distant hugs work just as well as real ones and the bush babies are magical in their own right.

I am sure Pepe and Miss Sleek and Jericat will appear quite often, your garden must have been ideal for the secret place.

It will take a while for Pepe to get to grips with catching a mouse, Miss Sleek passed him one and he fainted :roll: :roll: bless, he is a wuss.
No, they won't harm the frogs or toads, they might chase them, but will not cause any damage. Pepe cannot even look at them at the moment, he is a little squeamish

I think it would be a recipe for trouble, trying to eat fish and chips whilst walking with the rollator. Wise to eat them when you get home. We had cheesy chips last night, yummy.

The kittens are adorable

Hi to everyone else, hope Toni and family have arrived safely. Hi to Christine, Carol, Joan, Kerrin, Elizabeth, Mig, Charrisse and all. Take lots of care.

Time for T me thinks.

barbara12

Hello all..very very warm here... :shock:
Kath I forgot you had the walker..yes we don't want you falling for the sake of a chip glad the ouchies have been a bit better today..
Aiden I had a good chuckle at the spell going wrong, poor Miss sleek with a turnip and Pepe with a sprout ..what a let down.. I do remember the series..maybe next time..now cheesy chips our middle GD got us on to them..all that melted cheese..I have also been melting cheese on new potatoes.. now I am hungry..such a shame you had to leave France ..but it does sound lovely were you live now..
we have had another accident at the top of the rd on the bend there are so many the farmer has taken up first aid lesson..he is forever taking people in..
Hope Toni had a safe journey and is relaxing..and Christine is enjoying Aussie with her family
Love to everyone xxxxx
Right a slice of that cake and a cuppa will go down nicely..

Hello Barbara Kathleen Aidan and anyone else I missed.

Turbogran

Evening all
Glad to see the forum is back to normal after the huge writing I thought it was only me spent ages looking at my settings to see if anything was wrong there
I did try a post last night and it was quite a long one and as I got to the end my laptop just went blank and froze I couldn't do anything with it except turn it off. and of course when I turned it back on the post had gone even though I had saved part of it it all disappeared. had a visit from youngest daughter yesterday evening because she wanted to see the final of the speedway world cup as GB were in the final. and she dose not have sky tv and we do. so in a way she was a bit crafty cos she knew we would be watching it and of course she knew she would get some dinner as well. the weather has been quite warm here over the last few days it seems others are getting the storms but they seem to keep missing us.

Aidan Its so lovely riding around the zoo to see the lovelies.
no coffee and no knitting but be sure Teddy will soon have ears and then a dress so will have to give her a name. yes have proved Mum wrong with the 47 years and to be honest even if she was still here and objected to Mr T and me taking my maiden name back again we still would have done it. it was what we both wanted. Think Mr T was a bit miffed at the fact of my mp3 player working and he cant work his out if only he would read the instructions but he never dose. and of course he won't let me see if I can get it going so he has not really bothered. as his original one has started working again. now those pusskins have got their diplomas from Mr Potter and magic broomsticks there will be no stopping then. and off course now they have recruited Jericat as well.

Joan Yes I have slept well since the other night I sleep well most nights but it was just that one night I get them now and again.

Toni maybe but there were a few times in our married life when she wouldn't talk or allow my sister to talk to us for months at a time, and time again I forgave her and we were ok for a while the last time was three years before she passed away when didn't speak to us or our 2 girls until about 2or three weeks before she passed away and I got a letter from my sister telling me mum wanted to make her peace with me she had in fact even moved house and not told me during the 3 years. so I am never really too sure what she would think about the name change. My dad though would have been over the moon.

Barbara we sure must have got it right for so long my dad would have said do you ant me to bash your heads together you silly pair.

Glad you enjoyed Wimbledon the only thing we have a problem with it all is it is 2 weeks of traffic chaos and delays with it took us ages to get home from Church this morning on the bus.

Wow just been thinking sitting here realised its only 4 weeks today that we go on our cruise for 2 weeks. Can't wait so looking forward to it feel we both need it.

Take care all will try to pop in tomorrow if the day doesn't just disappear.

bubbles

Evening, well, morning, just..........Hope everyone is as ok as can be.

Hi Barbara It did get a bit warm, especially at nap time, which was a wee bit fitful.
Oh, the spell, bless them, you should have seen their faces (they don't know that there are camera's in the brooms now, so myself, Toni and Kerrin can see what is happening), it a new cat app from Mr Potter.
They did get the catnip grass in the end and had a good glide around in it.

The broomsticks are re charging now, under the full moon, that will really boost the power.

They Skyped earlier, Miss Sleek was saying how alone she was, with no one to look after her. Pepe was wise to that old chestnut and told her to stop being dramatic -(which is a bit rich coming from Mr Wuss himself). They didn't fall out, in fact Pepe magic'd a bunch of flowers for Miss Sleek. I think they were flowers :?

Cheese chips are wonderful, we have the chips on cheese in a sandwich, then some chips on the side, with plenty of mayo or tom sauce.

We did like France, but we knew it was time to come back and be near to parents, which was very important. It was good for us to be there for my Mum and Dad, especially as their health deteriorated. Also to be there for B's mum n dad too.

Not another accident, goodness, I hope everyone was ok. It is a good job the Farmer has done a first aid course.
Another letter or email to the MP, Council and Police, stating that yet another accident has taken place - does someone have to be seriously injured, or worse, before anything can be done. Go get em Barbara.

The cake looked so good, I had to pop it into the cafe. It is an Italian cream cake.

Hi Joan, I thought it would be warmer down country. They keep saying we are going to get some rain, but it never appears, we have had weather warnings for storms last week and not a drop of rain appeared :roll:

Hi Carol I was looking at the settings on Chrome, to see if the font had changed to HUGE for some reason It was very clear to read I must admit.
It is SO annoying when a computer just freezes and refuses to do anything, it usually happens when you have written something or you are in the middle of reading etc.

That was handy for your middle Daughter, to watch the speedway and have Mum do dinner at the same time, well timed eh. :?

Good to hear that Teddy will be finished soon and then we need to give her a name.
So Mr T has given up with his new MP3 and gone back to the old one. Maybe he will read the instructions in secret and get to grips with it - maybe. :roll:
The puskins are over the moon with their Diploma's and are trying out some magic spells, with varied success they will get there I am sure.

It must have been difficult, when Mum did not speak and saying that your Sister could not speak either. Some friends had just the same happen with her Mother.
Moving house too and not saying anything, goodness, that is very hard.
I am glad that Mum wanted to make her peace with the family. I will send some hugs from the Bush Babies and Sloths and from me too.

I can only imagine what the traffic is like when Wimbledon is on, it must be crazy. You forget how many thousand of people attend and they all want to get there and park !! Sorry you had a prolonged journey home.

The cruise will be wonderful, sit back and watch the world go by. I bet you cannot wait. The time will fly and you will be all aboard before you know it.

Talking of time flying, it is going up for 1am. I had better move myself again.
We are out for brunch today, meeting Mum n Dad at the GC, which will be nice. A bit of shopping and that will do us for the day.

Kerrin I hope you have had a catch up and recharged your batteries
Toni I hope you are all safe and sound, tired from the journey I would guess.
Christine I hope you are having a wonderful time, I bet it is not long until you think about heading home.
Hi to everyone else too, take care one and all. XXX Aidan

oh look, the Lemurs are watching the full moon. All the lovelies are fine, the super vets are on tonight.



Something to nibble on for breakfast

Aiden you will have to give me the app its nice that they got the catnip grass to glide in ..at least you know ere they are glad you got to move nearer mum and dad and Bs parents..we moved back to be near mine..think I have said this before but we were only 6 miles away but at least I could walk round to help out ..yes another accident..they are frequent on the bend..the farmer is forever replacing the fence.. :roll: I am still on a mission..
Joan have you seen the puppies..Labrador puppies are so cute..mind you so are nay pups we have the blind dog training center at the back of us in the field..and we get to see the pups..
Right better move we are going to Scarborough tomorrow for 3 days same hotel with life a little walk to the shops and a lift to the beach..but I will have my comp with me..
Love to everyone xxxxxx

Kitty

Hello, still feeling better. Tell you what, those wonderful puss cats have given me a secret key into the magic garden. It's beautiful, so I've posted a photo.

Pepe was quite shy with me, but Diddy was all smiles and chirrups. I had a lovely time being shown where all the best Voles and mice were.

Yes Joan, it is cooler here at the moment.

Rang my dad yesterday, he's well, but drives me potty when he keeps telling me about his neighbour Mavis. :roll: I'm glad he has a friend to keep him company though. My sister Anita is off to America in August (I think) her son Ben is getting married so she is flying over for the wedding. I think Ben wanted dad to go with her, but at 86 he thought it would be a bit much for him.

bubbles

Afternoon to all, quite warm and humid, but manageable ish.

Hi there Joan, Mum n Dad are doing ok thank you, we went out for brunch with them today, which was lovely. At the garden center of course - I think we have our own personal table, they know what drinks we want, before we sit down
We are both ok, B is very busy with his jewellery making, bracelets galore are appearing.

Hope you Sue and the doggies are ok, did you manage to get out and about, we had some rain this morning.

Hi Barbara, glad you are cooler, I must be having one of my moments. (maybe the tumble dryer is not helping) :roll: :roll: but the windows are open wide.

Yes, it was the right thing to do, to come back from France, we didn't really plan, just one day it was mentioned, we need to go back home, let's sell up. So we agreed and did just that.

I think the app for the secret garden is a special one from Mr Potter. Kath has been given a key to the garden, as it is on her property. I am sure they could find a secret place at your house. I will suggest it to them.

Good to hear that you are still on a mission, way to go team Barbara.

I bet the puppies are lovely to see, in the field behind you, they have a long training to be a guide dog, well worth it, they do a fabulous job and are so faithful.

So you are off to sunny Scarborough, how lovely. I last went there in about 1984, we saw the Krankies too Gosh, now I feel really ancient. Hope you have a wonderful time. I am sure you will keep in touch. Miss Sleek and Pepe might appear, they have not been to the east coast yet.

Hi Kath, you have a key, to the secret garden, only fitting as it is on your land, well, the gate is, beyond that, who knows where the beautiful garden is, it is just magical. You will be able to wander through there with your walker and rest when you need to. Pepe is a little shy with people he does not know, but he will soon come round, especially if you have some cooked chicken breasts to tempt them. I think Pepe has actually chased a mouse, yes, t'is true, Miss Sleek practiced her catnotherapy on him and it seems to have worked.

So glad to hear that your ouches are keeping at bay, long may it continue, I will keep the good vibrations coming your way

Glad you Dad is ok, even if he does drive you mad, talking about Mavis, lol. Your Sister is heading across the pond to the good ol US of A, (I loved going to the States). Whereabouts are they flying to? I know people of all ages do fly, but they usually ask for a medical say so, from the GP etc, especially if it is a long haul flight. They would not get me anywhere near an airport now, so no need for a letter from the Dr :roll: :roll:

Well, time is a marching and heading for nap time, after a cup of T and some biscuits of course.

Hi to everyone, Toni, away in France, Christine away in Melbourne, Carol, at home Kerrin, starting another busy week, hope it is not too hectic. (I think Jericat will be going to Scarborough with the daring duo). Charrisse, Mig and all.

Take care, let's see what we have to afternoon T today. XX Aidan

barbara12

Well what a match that was Aiden..Nadal and Muller..I think that Muller deserved it even though I really like Nadal..brilliant play from both...
Calm down Barbara.. just had another read of my post did I really type an hotel with life .. I do hope so..meant lift... :oops: I do love the Yorkshire coast..its so rugged...we saw the Crankies at Blackpool I was convince for years she was a little boy, and not his wife think I had better buy chicken breast to get on the right side of Pepe..who knows were it will lead..
Kath I love the secret garden..so relaxing if I can get there...glad to hear you are feeling better..and dont blame your dad for not wanting to go to America..at 86..bless him is Mavis his girlfriend then..
Right better get some clothes in the case..
Love to everyone xxxxxx

Evening all
was going to pop in earlier but as I was about too my house phone and mobile kept ringing one call after another so after the calls had all been dealt with it was time to cook dinner. and then if course it was time for my Monday fix of speedway, so time went by very quickly :bee: :bee: we have an invited house guest at the moment a blooming great big spider that moves so fast you don't get chance to do anything with it. have just had a cuddle with the bushbabies and the sloths also made sure all the lovelies are fed watered and settled for the night except of course the owls who are gaily chattering away to one another.

Aidan of course youngest daughters visit was well timed she had already asked if she could come and watching knowing very well that mum would say do you want some dinner.. don't think there is much hope that Mr t will read instructions he never has before. How are the pusskins doing with the magic spells. yes times when mum was not speaking were very difficult and it was always over silly things and a bit of stubbornness on both sides. I learnt about the move from an Aunt. yes looking forward to the cruise it will be relaxing but busy also with the trips when the ship is in port. hope you enjoyed your brunch and meeting mum and dad at the GC.

Joan Wow 7 Labradors in one house is certainly a lot of dogs has she got homes for the puppies.

Barbara yes we do have problems with traffic build up when tennis is on and also when Twickenham has rugby ect on. I have been to the tennis once but when I was a lot younger and I was on a first Aid duty and did not actually see the tennis .

Kathleen Love the secret garden.

well must go now will pop in soon

bubbles

Goodness me, we are exhausted, catching up with the tennis, who would have thought that the Nadal Muller match would go on for a WEEK
Well done to both, extra well done to Muller, what a personal achievement already. We like Nadal too. I thought it was never going to end ---- it is now midnight..... :roll:

I bet you were on the edge of your seat Barbara and Kerrin too. Maybe Toni, if they are watching tv en france. We all need to calm down. I have had my pills, so I will be ok :shock: I think.

Yes, the East Coast is wonderful, Holy Island, Berwick, Seahouses, there are some dramatic cliffs and coves and lovely beaches too. You will have a lovely time. I knew what you meant about the lift. See, we do understand gobbledygook
So you have seen the Krankies too, too funny. Goodness knows why we went to see them, but they were ok, not fandabidozey, but ok.
Yes, freshly cooked chicken breast delicately sliced and crumbled and Pepe will be all over you.

I am sure we can get you into the secret garden, if we ask Miss Sleek and Pepe, they will cast a little magic and you will be there in a flash.

Pepe has sent you a key, for the door to the secret garden, I thought he was gathering magic from the broomstick and talking to Miss Sleek



You can unlock the door at your leisure.

I am sure you are all packed now and ready for off. Safe journey, take lots of care. Hope there is life in the lift

Hi there Carol You lost the early evening with all your phone calls, things like that just happen, seemingly very often. Between us, we loose so many days, we will have to ask Miss Slimkins and Pepe if there is a secret place where spare days are kept.

Hope you enjoyed the speedway, I am sure you did

Did you say an INVITED guest, a large spider (shudder) :shock: :shock: that moves so fast you cannot catch it............oh my, a nightmare.

Thank you for popping into the zoo and spending some time with all the lovelies, I have not had much time to give them, but I know they are very well looked after, by all the zoo keepers and vets etc.

As you will see, the puskins are doing a little better with their spells. No more turnips or sprouts, they have magic'd the key to the secret garden, so that Barbara and Kath can have a wander, in fact, the key can be replicated to anyone who wishes to go there. Mr Potters magic, was very welcome. Because the secret garden did so much good, then the spell will extend to all. You might see Pepe, but Miss Sleek could well be busy with voles and mice, along with Jericat.

It must have been very difficult when times were amiss with Mum. I am glad that peace was restored

Brunch was very nice, thank you. Not too busy, very leisurely pace, all good.

I am sure you will be busy on the cruise, arriving in different ports of call. It will be wonderful, look forward to seeing some pictures.

Well I had better move, I sat far too long with the tennis match, even with a couple of pauses, for a little potter.

Kerrin, Toni, Charrisse, Mig, Christine, Elizabeth and all, hope all is as well as can be, sending hugs, far and wide.

I will say n night, from the secret garden. I am sure Miss Sleek and Pepe are over there at the moment.

XXX Aidan

Aiden ..I was hanging on the edge of my seat...did you see the colour drain out of Muller when he realised he had won..after 17 years.. must say I had never heard of him...I really did feel for Nadal ...I wonder if he will be back ..I do hope so..So I have a key to the secret garden..thanks Pepe..I cant wait to go through the door..just hope I can find my way back.. :? thanks for getting breakfast ready saves me rushing around...in my dreams.....the Krankies.. spelt right this time.. I cant remember if I enjoyed them or not.. right better get moving..we are off around 11..I hope.. will have my laptop so will be in touch..

Aidan, Barbara and Carol. I've a sneaking suspicion that the secret garden looks different every time you go through the gate. Sitting in my house, I can hear it's tippling it down, but just had a peek at the magic garden, the sun is shining and there is a gentle breeze. Beautiful.

I don't think dad or Mavis are romantically entwined, she seems to be developing memory problems. She asked dad when she was going to visit Ron's grave. Ron was her late husband - he was cremated and his ashes were buried in their garden. :?

Oh I'd love to be able to buy some of B's jewellery. Bracelets Galore would be a great name for his business. My forum name for all forums except this one is Poemsgalore. So if you've ever been on Health Unlocked, that's my moniker on there.

I think my nephew lives in the Big Apple Aidan, but I'm not certain.

I'm hoping my prescription gets here today, I have no patches left. I requested it on Monday 3rd. :roll:
