Hi to all - cooler this evening, nice clear skies. Just had enough drizzle in the afternoon to make Beatrice wet :roll: :roll:
I did put the phone down Kath, honest - when I fell asleep :roll: Fortunately I didn't launch it off the bed, as I usually do :shock:
Hi Carol, good that you have had better weather, it has warmed up in the daytime, without a doubt. Barbara and I both had "moments" on Thursday m0150 :roll:
I know March is usually a very windy month, after two storms already, best be on the safe side and have the fence repaired / replaced asap, just in case. All the various weather forecasts are different, so we just look out of the window. :? :?
A lovely meal out with the Church meet up Sending extra sparkles to Mr T's slippers (and yours too) t115006 t115006 hurting backs are just horrid. We are all in the same boat with our bones graunching together :roll: :roll:
Glad he is in less discomfort and today is ok at open morning.
You both managed to spill your coffee welcome to the club. Remember when I drooled mine all down my white shirt in the T room and I didn't even know - until B said, have you seen the mess you are in :shock: :shock: :roll: :roll:
A pleasant meet up with the friend from the knitting group - more reasons to go for more coffee's and me times
Looking forward to seeing the new brochures of cards Good that Mr T's back trouble is known about, as you say, it is not a constant proverbial pain.
Good to know that Clarence and Florence will be on the ball, when it comes to the warm weather.
No, no more visits to the GC over in Burnley. Neither of us would ever dream of smoking without being out in the open, even at home. I think the man was being super jobsworth. :roll: :roll:
We do have to try and keep our sanity, not always easy is it :? :? :? so down time or me time, is super necessary t4591 t115006
Hi to Toni, Sleek was over this afternoon, to sit with Mother and watch Gok Waan on SYTTD Lancashire. They like him, but not as much as our friend David Emanuel. t4591 There was sweet eating and litter throwing. :roll: :roll:
I think there is sunny weather for a few days, so flights up to Pendle and into the Trough of Bowland, will be on the cards. Mother won't mind a trip out if there is lots of sunshine m0150 m0150
I hope you have some decent weather too, is bot on the prowl, sorting out the grass? a little sunshine, but not too hot 8) 8)
Hi to Everyone else, in and about. Time I was having another potter round.
Off to Dads, wait for B's Brother to arrive, then we can go to the T room for lunch A little shopping in Booths, (they have the best veggie range by far).
Back here for cakes, we have enough to feed the street :roll: :roll:
Leaving lots of love and sparkles to all. t4591 t115006 Take lots of care XXXXXX Aidan

Hello all, hope you are well. Emily and Alex will be driving to Bradford later, to fetch Emily's new car. It's a Chevrolet Aveo. It's newer than her current car (Honda Jazz) and as she will be driving further when she starts her new job on 1st April, she will need a really reliable car.
I'm quite cold today, I think it's because the sun's gone in.
Golden Honey Buns yum yum, thank you Aidan. Glad yer didn't knock yer phone on floor miduck. Wedon't want that!
I know some of you aren't keen on nanas, but they're good for you, honest. And they are in a salted caramel mixture, and I know you love that."Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." Robert A Heinlein

Hi to all - Well, Saturday has come and gone, in a flash :? :shock: pleasant weather, nice spring like day.
I did glance that there would be snow, but I would imagine that is on the highest mountains in the Cairngorms. A bit like "look out and see the Northern Lights" yes, that's ok, if you live in the far north of Scotland - don't get our hopes up. :roll: :roll:
I have never had any kind of Apple device, phone or PC, I have tried to use one and was completely out of my comfort zone Joan. I guess it is what you are used to.
Love the picture of the doggies on Facebook They are gorgeous
Thank you, lots of love back to you both, hope you have a lovely week end and enjoy the fair weather. m0150
Hi Kath, Emily and Alex up in Bradford, I used to work at the hospital in Bradford, not far from Skipton. I hope the car is just right and that they had a safe journey there and back, up and down the M1, quite a straight route.
We nearly bought a Chevvy, what was it called..........errrrm, anyway, I forget :? :roll: :roll:
Out of the sun, it was a bit chilly. Did you av yer at on
I am glad the phone didn't go flying. It is a nice soft carpet and phones can take drops onto most surfaces, but, preferably best not to launch it. :roll: :roll:
You are very welcome to the honey buns Now, nana's, errrrm, I really cannot even the smell of them :? :?
I will have the caramel sauce on the ice cream though, that will do just fine, thank you v muchly
Hi Barbara - I think B is planning on pottering in the garden today, that's after he has been to Screw fix and the big charity shop for a nosy round. I will stop at home and potter about.
I liked gardening too, but not possible now.
I bet yours is all nice and tidy now, with your Son and an extra pair of hands to help. Sounds like he was digging for victory, before you stopped him and gave him sustenance
You found all the goodies, excellent. Yes, I am cake dependent, a bit like Toni, who is Clotted Cream dependent It is a recognised condition
I am super pleased with my new phone, it is very slick, very quick and very thin Love it.
We went round to Dads, BIL was bang on time, which is a miracle in itself :shock: :shock: so off we went into town, parked nearly at the door to the T rooms. We were there just in time, we got a table, then not long after that, people were being turned away it was so packed.
I was very good and didn't have a cake, seeing as we had enough to stock a shop, here.
We ate the meringue muffins, I gave BIL the chocolate cake to take home for SIL, (she is cake dependent as well). A spare muffin for Dad and now we only have two flapjacks.
I am sure Toni is enjoying the fine weather, here there and in and out............Sleek says mummy cannot keep still for a minute :roll: :roll: Mother was telling her, it is because it is spring, hooman peeples get all excited and have to kleen their houzez
The intrepid duo where off onto the hills and then to the Castle, to survey all of Mothers lands :? :? :roll: :roll: Then they had lunch at the Nymphs open air T rooms t4591 t115006 t115006
Hi to Carol, hope you and Mr T are feeling ok, sparkles and hugs for less back pain. t4591 t115006

Hi to all, just a quick post, seeing as the afternoon has been stolen and put in the shed of many hours :roll: :roll: :roll:
It was very pleasant, now spoiled itself by t111055 t111055
Bill has been back and forth to town, twice, while I stopped at home, pottering, doing the shirts.
This is the lovely find at the charity shop from last week, sits nicely in the hall.

The two small boxes B has made and the other little chest, he has painted and gold leafed - he is a clever socks. He should have a shop.
Then he went back and brought back a TV, for £20, bigger than the one I had in my bedroom, bargain

Well that hasn't been easy no ability to get online but I'm here now via my phone.
Having some frittata c/o Aidan and some Warm beetroot lentil salad c/o Kath.
Thanks for letting everyone know I am still alive Barbara and Aidan via Sleek via Tosca!
Joan I've only ever had a Nokia-well a few and now a few Samsungs.
That car pic opened on my phone but not Adans latest charity find.
Sleek has been going over to Aidan and B's a fair bit watching more SYTTD I have been chatting to a young girl called Emily ( not Kath's!!) About hers. Fun chat and one really lovely suggestion....a Dad's dance after the first dance. Paul will be so touched. I'll ask Tia the song is called 'I loved her first' by heartland.
He would be so touched eg?
Hope Carol is ok Mr T behaving?
Might too ((()))
Posting quick while I can

Hi to all - it has gone chilly this evening :? :? then you read the newspapers (online read that is) and they say there is a three month heatwave about to start m0150 :shock: :shock:
I got the same report as you did Barbara, that Toni's t'internet has gone squiffy and then some. Wonder if someone cut a cable somewhere - that happened here one time, a still saw went right through the phone lines :shock: :roll: :roll:
Sounds like it might take a few days to fix. :roll: :roll:
You are more than welcome to the frittata and all the hugs and sparkles I can muster t4591 t4591 t115006 t115006 We need a big tin of them, in the cafe, along side the lavender pats and wheaties
Clotted cream tea, well, it was Sunday, so I thought it was only fitting to have something suitable.
We were amazed when B's Brother arrived on the strike of noon, he is always late. Good job though, with the T room being packed to the rafters not long after we got there.#
You like beetroot as well then, I always have jars of it and we eat quite a lot on our cheese butties, I could eat them for fun, love them t4591 t4591 yes, they do lower your blood pressure and improve athletic performance :shock: :shock: :shock: Not sure about the athletic bit :? :?
They improve heart health and protect the liver too.
Apple phones and computers just leave B and I totally baffled :roll: :? I guess it is what you are used to. I am amazed at my new one, it is super clever :shock: I think it already knows more about me, than I do :shock:
Glad you like the hall table and all the things that B has made or added to with his creations. He says he will put boxes on his web shop, might take a little while. He is busy seed beading at the moment.
No, we don't want it too hot. Warm and pleasant is fine, but melting moments, we can do without them. We had more than our fair share last year. :? :? :roll: :roll:
The pub you went to, is obviously very popular. Shame that you could not get a table and then the meal at the GC was not much cop. That's two of us not going back to certain garden centres
Hi there Toni, bloomin internet, :roll: :roll: No wonder Mother has been shrieking. Sleek said she cannot even get through on her crystal ball :roll: :roll:
We will keep updating and hope your web access is not too protracted :? :? :roll:
Aww, you didn't get the pic of B's charity shop find. I will post it again as and when
Yes, the "girls" have been watching SYTTD and Gok SYTTD Lancashire, which is filmed in a Bridal Boutigue in Colne - not so far from us, know it quite well.
A Dad's dance, after the first dance, that is SO lovely t4591 t4591 of course Paul would just melt. I will have to listen to the song on Youtube.
Hi to Carol, hope you are ok. A busy week-end I would guess. How is Mr T's back feeling? Sending extra sparkles to help with any ouches t115006 t115006
Hi to all our other friends, in and out and around about
Time I was pottering again. I am setting like a plaster cast.

Still a bit breezy, but the winders are cleaned, so watch out for rain, hail, sleet and snow being chucked all ovva em. :? Some brainbox has dumped a fridge on the car park (they took the door off first) And loads of polystyrene has been broken up and is blowing all down the back alley. :roll:
So you like Polo necks too Joan, nice and warm when there's a chill. Lexi and Pepper are real cuties. t4591 t4591

Oh no Toni, t'interweb on the blink.
Barbara, I'm sure Emily and Alex got home safe. I googled the car, that's where I got the pic from. I have beetroot every day, it doesn't seem to keep my blood pressure down in spite of 2 types os BP tablets.

Hi Joan and Sue - thank you, it is a lovely little table and the drawers are always ideal for those bits and bobs that appear from nowhere.
Hope you enjoying some fine weather m0150 m0150 ((())) m0150 m0150
Hi Kath So, we an expect all kinds of weather, now that your windows are clean - it'll be chuckin down mi duck. It usually rains every time our window cleaner visits :roll: :roll:
That's nice, said no one EVER, to have a fridge dumped in the carp park, leaving polystyrene to blow all over :x :x I hope someone has them on CCTV, so they can catch em and make them clean the streets for a few months. As if that would ever happen. :? :? I loathe polystyrene, it is just so non biodegradable and gets everywhere.
B is a clever chucky egg indeed He has been removing old silicone from around the bedroom windows, ready to re- seal them in. Has to be done, on park homes, you have to make sure they are kept up to standard to keep any water from creeping under the render.
Looks a bit of a work in progress at the moment, but he will soon have it all sorted, now the weather is set fair for a week. You cannot make an omelette without cracking eggs.
I am not sure how much beetroot you have to eat, to get a reduction in blood pressure.............. :shock: :shock: I will have to look into it :? :?
Thank you for the tagliatelle - mushrooms, mmmmm, we love them
Hi Barbara - have you been out in the sunshine..........it was so warm when we got back home, the lounge was boiling m0150 m0150
Busy at the GC, lots of people sat out, far more people out and about, with the sunshine.
No word from Toni, so I am thinking Houston still has a problem with the t'interweb............ :roll: :roll:
Sleek was over early doors, to take Mother up onto Pendle, to gather some chilly mists. There was a frost on our roof, so the neighbours said.
Hi to Carol and Mig and all of our friends in and about.

Hi to all, quite a frost tonight, next doors rooftop is all frozen white.
Hi Barbara - I put the heating on after siesta's, the temperature had really dropped, after a beautiful sunny day.
Keep an eye, we don't want any added problems with those kidneys, is your temp ok? ? water infection? Matron just being cautious :? :?
Aww a fluffy white Jack Russel doggy, perfect for cuddles. You are welcome to the veggie breakfast and key lime pie is just wonderful, had it loads of times in the States, as well as Pecan pie - I was such a pig :shock: :shock:
I still have not had chance to see how many stones of beetroot we should eat in a day, to bring our blood pressure down :shock: :shock:
Not so sure about the increased athletic abilities :? :? :? :roll:
So you met Gok, how amazing, and he gave you a CUDDLE, way to go Barbara How cool are you 8) 8) 8)
Yes, Bill is on with so many things he will meet himself coming back at this rate. Making jewellery, maintenance to the window sealing, keeping me and Dad in his line of sight, as well as umpteen other bits and bats. Bless, he is a rock t4591 t115006
We need some blackout curtains for the lounge, it gets SO hot. My bedroom is north facing, so sun shining in is not a problem.
Glad you enjoyed your trip out and it was fruitful
As soon as Bills store front is up and running, I will let you know
Hi Toni, oh, the interweb is still kaput :? :? and then your phone times you out, it will chew up data too.
Ahh, Sleek has been asking Google to search for some very strange words - that might have blown it up :shock: :shock: She was saying to Mother, that mummy's rooota had gonn rong :roll: :roll:
We will keep letting people know that you are ok and have not vanished into the ether, even if the WWW has done.
Beetroot for stamina, goodness, I need to eat more and more............

Evening all
The weather is nice here at the moment but temperature due to drop next week its been a very busy weekend. but all thing went ok. But oh what a difference today. We had a gas smart meter fitted yesterday we now have one for both gas and electricity. we have only had them fitted to stop the constant calls urging us to have them fitted. the electricity one was fitted a short while ago it took the guy about 45 minuets to change the meter and set the little box device up that goes with it and we have had no problems . However the gas guy yesterday took 2 hours to do the same thing. and lo and behold this morning our boiler did not turn on, I tried to start it manually but it would not have it . so we have had to have the engineer out today on an emergency call out because I told them I have no hot water and heating and as my mobility is bad it was dangerous for me to carry hot water from kitchen to bathroom. when engineer came he did all the checks and could not find anything wrong. He did change batteries in the thermostat in our hallway which controls the timing of the boiler switching on and off. mind you they have never been changed in the 6years we have had the boiler in fact we didn't even know there were batteries in there :shock: :? :? it di go on on time around 4.30p. so fingers crossed it will work tomorrow morning. :roll: :roll: mind you when Mr T told the guy who came today how long it took the guy to do the meter yesterday he was disgusted he said it should not take any longer than 45 minuets to do the job. so watch this space because if it fails again tomorrow morning I will be really mad and they will soon hear about it.
I was very naughty after because I did not go out at the usual time to have some lunch as Mr T was out this morning and I had to wait for him to get back I was so fed up with it all that I treated my self to a fish finger buttie some thing I would not eat on slimming world but it was gorgeous so I don't care on little bit :shock: :shock: .
well time has run away with me again and I have some pottering and little jobs to do so love and sparkles to you all t4591 t4591 t115006 t115006 hope you are all as well as can be expeced and enjoying some nice weather.Stay positive always👍xx0 -

Don't worry, as long as we know that you are all ok...........data is eaten by ramping up the internet, without WiFi. Mother said that Sleek had brokern the roota - there was a spell cast, which we are not privy to............ t115006 me thinks it went wrong. :roll: :roll:
Mother is keeping very tight lipped about it, "nothing we need to know about" she said. :? :? :roll: :roll:
Yes, I am sure Bill can come and sort out the sealant for your shower, the stuff he got for the outside is bomb proof, called storm something or other - mind you, at £13 a tube, it should be too :shock: :shock:
It is all looking better now, around the back windows, keeping the rain from sneaking under the render, is very important.
Hi there Carol - I did see your post on FB, goodness, it is hardly a smart meter when it stops your heating and hot water working :shock: :shock: :roll: :roll:
BGas tried to sell us one of the "hive" things, (we have drains and electrics covered with them), but we said no thanks.
I am glad they came out and let's hope that it is fixed. Sounds like the person who fitted it was either dragging their heels, or not too sure what they were doing :? :?
If the heating or hot water doesn't work this morning, we will hear you from up here in Lancashire :x :x I will send some sparkles, to make sure it does what it is supposed to do t115006 t115006
You had a fish finger butty - wonderful, I would have joined you, they are amazing, with tomato sauce and lots of butter t4591
A little bit of soul food does no harm, well that's my motto, every time I see a cake :shock:
Hi to Barbara - hope you are all ok, Niamh will be over today I would guess. Many ((())) and t115006 to everyone.
Kath, how are you all - hoping that any ouches are not causing too much trouble. Extra t115006 t115006 just in case. Have you been to your benches or the Co Op? Some sunshine may have assisted a little stroll m0150
Hi to Mig, I know you are having a tough time. Abundant hugs and well wishes.
Hi to Kerrin, Christine, DD, SW, Elizabeth, Toady and all.
Time I was pottering a little.
Off to the T room, via the surgery, to pick up more Tramadol :roll: :roll: needs must.
Leaving lots of love and sparkled to all t4591 t115006 XXXX Aidan
