Morning everyone..It's a new week...11/08/2014

First topic message reminder :

The size of an old 2/6d Bond ,Lord
that is not even a BITE size

That is lovely I had a silver bracelet when I was a baby
think I have it on in my baby picture when I am lying
on my back ,have to go look ,not sure what ever happened
to it
Boy this year is moving too fast .....

Gil will be watching "Out Lander" in a few as its a new series
do you see that over there?

Oh I saw you logged in a few minutes before Sir G guess you
missed him then
Anywho I have just taken my so shall wish you all a
fond adew

you could have said tea first before putting my legs up.....I had to go and change. ....... BTW where was my cornflakes?

Bev thinks Tony's JUST died Carole.....I just told her a bit. Oh btw I forgot to tell you all she's asked David to give her a lift to the airport in Feb so she can go to visit Marcus, he's paid for everything but if she could get out of it she would.....hates travelling by herself.

These mud slides are worrying, hope Margaret's ok? I was listening in the car but didn't hear where she lives.....phew!!!

Night shop Bond?

BTW you would have walked into that one Bond...Mrs B ."You went painting stage sets"

Look at the glam girl CB.....think she needs a large L&L well if you can clean around you can make some drinks.

Benn to the small Palmers .....I had cottage pie and veg, and gravy......and custard slice.
also bought Susan a make-up bag in the sale. Ohhhhh I could have got Rachael one. and and also my mate Janice. Then went onto M&S and I got a skirt in the sale and a lovely woollen sweater, that wasn't in the sale though. Neither in your bedroom Carole.

Oh changed the avatar to the one of me in Coombe Abbey on the sofa.

Hi Carole no I woudnt of got away with that I would of been soon told aaarrr but you were well enough to go painting stage sets yesterday
Time to do the night shop then its tea time

Boy Bond your still not 100%
and Mrs B is making you
hard task master she be

Too bad Bev had not asked until AFTER his funeral
Vicky save you explaining it all before hand
Vicky if your seeing my lamp your seeing the plant
as it sits right next to it and I have the lamp on at night
and when I get up now while its dark and it LIKES
the light
It was only about 10" high when Linda gave it me ...
I have never had a Amaryllis plant before so very
interesting to watch it evolve

Not only are the floods hitting the West coast
but they are telling you to try and clear the snow
away from the house as from Saturday am we are going
to get between 3 to 4" of  heavy that could
cause problems
Temps with this rain will be around 50f but then back DOWN
we go the following week into the low 20's so cannot put our
mittens away yet

OK have LOTS to do this morning before Barbara gets here
as its Frans for me
Spencer has two appointments one for his GP and another
with Carmen's lawyer whom they got after their car accident
when that guy cut them off last year so he will at least be
here while Barbara is  Gil as I still worry about her handling
him alone
But now Blaine just got up saying he is going in at 11am as
he is still not feeling 100%
They are saying this is turning out to be the worst year in ages for the flu
and there have been 5 deaths in CT from it already
so HE will be around as well while she is getting Gil ready
guess I lost confidence when she let him fall like she did

Anyway I shall return freshly quaffed around noon
till then

OK girls you can put those lovely legs down now I'll put the hoover away and the kettle on

Good morning all from Atherstone after the best nights sleep in a week
It's house clean day but first breakfast and it's Shredded Wheat and warm milk toast and marmalade Coffee tea orange juice before legs up
Before legs up

I have to get David to put this site up to see the plant Carole......at the moment I'm seeing a lovely light shade.

No Bev didn't ask questions.....I had told her when Tony phoned from the Hospital (as I mentioned it on here a week before he died) but she's not asked about him until today, and it was only "How's Tony?" I thought I was going to get away with it.

Ok night night all of you......speak tomorrow.

Nite nite Carole I'm off to bed too
Last two green jelly babies Vicky

PHEW! fixed my page nite nite

New Avatar is my Amaryllis today

LARGE please Vicky {L & L }
I do not know whats going on
but MY page is stretched a MILE
wide .Have tried clicking on the edge
and pulling it back , but no good

Didn't Bev want to know WHY HOW AND WHEN
Vicky ,I mean I do not think I remember you saying
Tony had been ill
Gil is the same Vicky very weak though and his speech
is getting much worse ,takes me all my time to
understand him even after he repeats what he
is mumbling a couple of times

Hello Marge glad your OK then ,saw the weather
from your side ,winds up to 70mph as well

Just brought Spencer home as Carmen was waiting on a
package and if he brought her car back here to get home
he would then have to take it back LATER and SHE would
have to drive him back home ,good job she only lives a
10 min ride away
He is trying to figure out how he is going to
pay his bills when there is only 4 weeks in the month
as this week they get an extra week and he is only left with
$25
He NEEDS a JOB for sure ,says he is going to tell the Dr tomorrow
how his stomachs in knots

OK better get going making chicken tenders with a chicken rice
for dinner

So you also have new LED street lights Vicky ,they did ours a couple
of years ago makes a big difference out there...

Well what with she had me and then Bev who'd been injected with a gramophone needle....I was like a and then she tells me about Evettes Mum who's got bowel cancer and isn't too good, "When she goes Evette will have all her money and the house to sell" ££££ signs were in her eyes.

Oh she asked about Tony so I said "He's died" and got choked up....."Nooo" she said and then asked how I knew I told her Julia had told me, she wondered when he would have his funeral so I said "Julia's going to tell me" Oh well she said you'll be able to tell me....."Yes" I said "Afterwards" I thought to myself. then changed the subject. So BOND no letting on. ......I wouldn't have let on only when she asked I felt "Oh crumbs" but then decided I'd tell her a bit.

You're hopeless though Bond......excuses excuses. "I was invited" on your sick bed is another matter all together. But as I said excuses excuses.

Oh meant to say we also had new lights....white now.

Oh btw Margaret Cov have drawn again Milton Kenyes Dons......you asked.

Hope Gil is better today Carole.

Went out to try and get a dish bowl for Benjie (left his others at Susan's ) so we thought we'd buy him another one.. (we'd got a spare one) anyway could we find one the right size....either TOO BIG or TOO SMALL. we did end up getting one but slightly bigger than the size we wanted.

Also got a 40th birthday card for Louise (Susan's Mate)

L&L Carole.

Hi Carole, yes I was in bed  then, I was cold I'm getting cold in my bones so the best place was under the covers with my book and of course cov kids
OK Carole I'll do the large L&L, coffee and tea
Steady Marge, slow down youl catch yourself on the way back

No party just tired.
I went to my Drs. early yesterday morning and
we talked about the results of the Ultra sound I
had last year in autumn. It seems it was "unremarkable"
so no change which I could have been told over the phone
or in a letter!
I went round to the Drs. office and they said I had not had
an eye check for two years so that is where I am going this morning.
Later I am sussing out a Smog check Station closer to home so
I can get BB done today.
Won't be many drivers out today as we had a thrashing storm front
go through last night and I did not hear it!
Had several fronds from the Palm tree come down, 2 are on my neighbors
garage roof. There are several mudslides in the Burn areas that are
blocking roads and bound to be a few more trees down as well.

The local TV news station talked to one man who just escaped having his
Prius covered in black mud and ashes by a few inches.
It caught the back of his car only so managed to drive out of it.
All kind of accidents on the Freeways this morning as people will not
slow down.
I don't understand these people, everyone thinks they are so important
that they must get to the head of the line or given a free pass to get
through when others can't. They all have cell phones in their cars ,why
can't they call ahead and say they are delayed!

At least their excuse can be verified by turning on the traffic stations.
There are cctv cameras every half mile on our freeways and hundreds of
civilians who text in every morning with current traffic conditions as they
commute to work, yes its illegal here but so valuable to traffic boss,
CALTRANS to see where to divert traffic with their huge electronic
notice boards.
They say we are not finished with this rain front yet as more might come
through today later. The is out right now and everything is glistening
as they are wet.
By the way, I did have my Flu shot while at the Drs. office, got a little reaction
but was over it by bedtime. Better safe than sorry.
Got to dash as I must leave in half an hour and I must be at the
place on time.
TTFN

Your IN BED BOND

SPLUTTER , KEEP Nurse Vicky
AWAY from ME ,the PATIENT is THAT WAY nurse >>>

Popped to the bank to pay my ,so ♪ another bill
hits the dirt ♪ {well for this month at least }

Sun is BRILLIANT out there ,so a bit of melting going on

Spencer said he will be home later as he did not want to bother
Carmen last night to run him home as she had been in bed
all day with her back...and when Blaine called his brother to
see if he wanted a ride home it was TOO EARLY
He has a Dr's appointment tomorrow with his new GP he had to
get as the one he had {mine} is not on the insurance he had to get

Anyway I shall be back to see if Marge made it in OK
DRINKS please SOMEONE

is this he way to Amaryllis
Why thank you for your concerns ladies
Well if you hadn't been away Vicky I would of dropped mrsb off and called into your place for tea and biscuits
It was one of those things I've known the organiser for some years and she always says come along it would be lovely to see you there are other partners there too
I'm feeling better now typing this from my bed as mrsb is at the hairdressers so coffee and just a small slice of cake please

Now take a look at my Amaryllis plant
Linda bought me for my birthday when
we went for breakfast ,take note of its height
THEN watch when I post the NEXT picture of it taken
this morning

Morning guys {and girl}
Well have been awake on and off all
night as I did not give Gil the two pain pills
I normally do at night ,and I heard him on and off
every hour then at 230am after putting him to pee
I must have fallen into a deep sleep as the next thing
I know it was 525am
To top it all having an attack of my IBS this morning
so just took one of the pills my Dr gave me samples
off and its taken it away IBguard really works that
Peppermint oil
Suns just streaming through the bay windows and its
a LOT warmer this morning 30f proper temp but there's ice
around as with that wnd AGAIN its only feeling like 23f
but MUCH BETTER than -23

Hope Marge is OK as they have a system hitting the West coast
that will bring up to 4" of to the LA area and
they are evacuating people from some areas where all those
fires were for fear of mudslides now

Bond Vicky is right unless Mrs B wanted you as a TROPHY
husband last night to SHOW off you could have STAYED home
and AGAIN she is right SNIFFING paint is NOT GOOD

Just thinking this will be MY 61st year after leaving Broad {Street} Heath
school WOW

Well Gil was not bleeding earlier and his urine was a bit lighter
but still going to call Dr Small as I want to know why he never
called me after that scan ....

OK so I shall be back have a load of whites
Sounds like you have a full day Vicky ,first and NOW Bev

Next time Bond ask about The Witch.....I'll have to give you her last name.   I know Rosie was signing books in Waterstones and The Witch said "Oh I could have popped in and seen her"  The Witch wasn't free the signing day, though she did say to me "You can go in and say Hi from me"  but David wouldn't ....I've got nearly all her books, (Unlike Mrs B who had to buy some before she met her   ) she's brilliant,  Susan's friend in Ireland also has all her books too     there's also that writer who writes kids books, she went to my kids school, her granddad lives just around the corner from me, or did unless he's dead, but I can't remember her flippen name,   Anyway the next time ask Rosie about the Witch.   OR ELSE.

You could of just dropped Mrs B off anyway.....it wasn't YOUR School do.  you could have been really ill.....you daft bat.    AND breathing paint doesn't help.  

Horrid day......and    been.   and later on Bev's coming here.

So back later.

Oh Tony's getting buried on the 26th......the church will be packed.

Good morning all from Atherstone, just Back from the Owen Street centre, painting the stage, thoughts were a dark brown but we only have what we have to keep the budget tight and we had black, red, green, brown, and purple mix them together and what have you got? A dark purple? I don't know how that will go down with the director
Tea up

Good morning all from Atherstone, thanks for the medicine as it's worked I feel a lot better now, last night I thought I would be in bed today, I was coughing, sneezing and had the shakes, yes if it had been a ordenery day I think I wouldn't of moved from th to the fire but it was mrsbs 50years anervursery of leaving school, lots of people there even two from Australia and of course Rosie Goodwin was there with signed books for the Australian visitors
Good to hear your knees a bit better and sorry that Gill has his problems back
Breakfast and it's porridge and honey plus extra honey

 Front?  Centre?   What, Pardon......in uniform, AH yes ....spoon at the ready....Open wide.     I know it tastes horrid but all good medicines taste horrid.     Oops sorry not for you Carole it's surppose to be for Bond....but I thought......  well any body could get it wrong..         stop pulling that face it wasn't that bad....oh well maybe it was but still it'll make YOU feel that much better.      night gang.  

oh dear Bond I had a feeling you should have
stayed home but
NURSE Vicky front and center
Glad you had a good weekend then Vicky
building houses on a hillside @ something
like Doc Martins location
And sounds like your thinking about moving
closer to your daughter ,happy to hear your knee
is on the mend as well
Marge must be hitting her bucket list ,or maybe her
and Lorna had a few too many last night

Well my news is more of the same I am afraid
going to have to call Dr Small tomorrow as Gil peed blood
tonight ,I KNEW IT
Not sure what he will want to do about it but will let you know
Feel better Bond nite Vicky nite
Marge

Hi all not feeling too good so off to bed
I'll catch up with you all tomorrow
Nice to see you back
Night night

Had a wonderful weekend......got back late this afternoon, my knee must be coming along walked near 2 miles yesterday.....with the dogs and then to this great pub, fantastic views,  had a great meal ....  and some of the houses around, over a million and one was up for sale.....though as we were saying "There's bound to be something we don't like about it"  

Oh the ones they're interested in they've just started building so the one Matt & Susan are interested in you couldn't see the layout, Matt & David did climb over the fence to get a better look ....they know the size of it, rooms etc but they wanted to know how steep, if at all, the garden would be.....they are going to be built on a hillside.   Susan's asking the agent various questions Wednesday,  how steep the gradient of the garden will be?  etc.. as a spot it's quiet with nice houses around.....I can understand the people around not wanting these houses built.   Lovely views where they're going to be built I have to say.....it's just how steep the garden will be.      

Was saying to David if we moved around there look at the great walks we could take Benjie on.  


Oh Margaret Melanie mustn't feel guilty she missed what was going on with Jim she had enough to think about.

Great photo btw....though I can't read the article, but I love it.  

Yes    please Carole.

Stay wrapped up......and don't over do it.

OK GUYS SHE"S BACKKKKKK

Hi Vicky ,tea

♪ ALONE and yet ALIVE .ohhh sepulchral ♪
Song from my role as Katisha in the Mikado
after she thought her beloved Nanki poo was dead

OK so looks like Vicky is not back yet or IF she
is she has not been in here ....
Bond went to Mrs B's 50th reunion at the Marina
And Marge is busy as well

Barbara got here and after the firemen left {they installed
6 -10 yr smoke alarms,one in EACH BEDROOM now }
before we had one down stairs ,and two up here one in the kitchen
area and one in the small hall way out side the bedrooms
But they said they want them in ALL bedrooms now
hey they are free so be my guest ,I ran to get my pills and
to mail the Immigration forms for Gil

Made the r/beef with Broccoli corn and mashed potato
Barbara is doing the new WW and has lost almost 5 lbs
so many new things she said are now FREE

So will be back BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Morning Bond .....I don't know lad
maybe you and Mrs B should be STAYING
home as it sounds like your still infectious ACHOO!
As to that cough I HOPE your taking SOMETHING
for it
Weather here still cold 23f but FEELS like 9f but should start to
swing around ,they are saying Thursday could be 50+ then we will have
flooding with all this snow melting ,this small storm bringing a bit more snow
scheduled to begin around 3pm {just in time for the evening commute }

Spencer said he will be home later today Tabitha will be a happy
kitty as she cannot understand WHERE her daddy has been
She sleeps on his head at night normally

Wonder if Vicky is on her way home and what they thought
of the houses or spot where they are being built
You know kids these days think nothing of moving do they ?
I HATE moving such a CHORE
One of the reasons my Mum was shocked when we moved
3500miles away back in 1967

Well today would have been Ruthie's birthday {she shared the day with
Elvis} still miss that woman
Hope Marge had a better night
And I shall be back wondering if the Aid will be coming today

Having to watch Gil as well as his urine is very dark ,to ME that is
blood somewhere ,going to call the Urologist to see why he never called
with the results of Gil's scan and whether this could be coming from his
pancreas

Good morning all from Atherstone a bit frosty here not as bad as the North and not as bad as you over on the East Coast Carole
The coughing stopped last night but the sneezing started ho after saying that iv just cough cough, and my ribs ache
Out for lunch Today at the marina Hinckley for mrsbs school reunion 50 years after leaving
Breakfast and it's porridge and honey plus toast and marmalade Coffee tea orange juice Back later

Yes Carole I bet we will see Vicky again tomorrow
Now it's good night from me
Good night,
Night night

Afternoon you two ...
Marge I think you know your doing great
but maybe you need to just sit back and change
down a gear  and take a deep breath before you
embark on your next project

That is what I have to find before Feb 1 my car tax
for the city
Going to send off to immigration to see if I can get
Gil a fee waiver now he has Husky C ,as that may qualify him
Marge
I don't think Vicky will be back till tomorrow Bond they normally
stay till Monday

Now as to all this sleeplessness ,can't you Bond ,give Mrs B a knockout
pill so you can rest  ...
As to Marge being restless with night mares  that could very
well be because your brain has too much in it right now
so slow down a tad
Weather is very "pretty " looking here sunny blue skies
but oh that temperature 16f but feels still like 6f
Speak tomorrow

Hi Marge, yes as a lad/youth stocking tops were the be all and end all
We had our cavity foam filled some years ago possibly five years ago and we did notice a difference but now it just cold out nd warmer inside
I haven't been sleeping too well if it's not been my coughing it's been mrsbs
And because I've not been sleeping well I've had a nap in the afternoon and that makes me not sleep well at night so the circle goes round
Still time for drinks

I think that 1947/48 and 1962/63 were record breakers
for the duration of the cold weather and the amount of snow
that fell in the UK. Although they had a number of winters
that came close in between and since.
We don't need heavy insulation here because it seldom gets
cold enough even for frost!
The metal framed windows we used to have were warped
after being used since the house was built that when we got
high winds you could feel the draughts all over the house.
The funny thing was the letter slot in the front door (which
we installed) would blow raspberries if the wind blew just
right!
I must be going through a phase at the moment as I have
not been sleeping well and having a few nightmares.
I get this way when I feel overwhelmed so had to sit down
and calm myself and sort through what needs taking care of first.

That is the Drs. appointment tomorrow morning at 10:20am.
After that its off to the Drs. to ask if they can get my
Dr, there to just fill out the form for the DMV from my last
exam a year ago. (DMV insists that it has to have a copy that is
less than 6 months old) As my prescription was still the same
a year ago and I can drive perfectly well with these glasses,
it should not be a problem.

As soon as I have the copy in my hot little hand I can make my
appointment for the written test and the driving test.
Part two of my property taxes are due at the end of this month
and I need to get BB smog tested which you can almost do
without an appointment in this state. It only takes an hour
and the result is sent in electronically.
Its going to be paperwork, paperwork ,paperwork today as well
as some
I have to do a run to the grocery store as I am low on

I thought you would get a kick out of the newspaper cutting,
I also have an 8x10 glossy photo of it but it needed the caption
to explain why we were there.
Remember I worked in an drawing office with about 2-3 hundred men.
I was afraid that I would be the butt of endless jokes about my
fancy stocking tops at work afterwards so decided to spoil their fun.
It was not meant to be for publicity.

Its overcast and dreary again here and we may get some rain by
tomorrow , if not tonight if the radar is correct.
Wonder who Coventry City will meet in the next round of the FA cup.
At least the team has some fight in it which is good to see.
TTFN

G g g good afternoon CCCarole you sound like Grenville ffetch the cccloth from open all hour
Well I don't know if miss Vicky is coming home today or tomorrow but it's a lovely day here for a drive, bright blue sky and cold so heater up and sit back now where did I put my white gloves

G G Good morning B B Bond
My house stands at 63f right now even with the
heat cranked up to 81f
Spencer said this house has NO INSULATION
not just the attic ,but the walls and so that is why
we get so hot in the summer and like now SO COLD
He said the Landlady would need to get a company
that pumps the foam into the cavities to do anything about it
and you KNOW THAT will NEVER HAPPEN
Anyway outside in Bridgeport at 545am its ZERO proper
temp {-17c} again we are breaking weather records
but with the wind chill that they say is making it
SO MUCH worse it feels like -13f {-25c}

So I will be sitting over here sipping my

Have to find something to cook that will at least help to warm
the kitchen up having the oven on
They have an advisory here until later this morning
where being exposed for 30mins could give you frost bite

Anyway hope every one had a good night and will enjoy the day

Good morning all from Atherstone a bit cool here but not that bad
Yes that's the photo Carole a great bit of history
That was about the figure that was always quoted or 36 24 36 to a 38 24 36 of The top heavy model
Breakfast and it's cornflakes and hot milk toast and marmalade Coffee tea orange juice
Back later

Bond B O N D
you mean THIS one of Marge
LIFTED it so Vicky can see Marge Monday
when she returns to the fold

What were you back then same as me
around a 24" waist,I thought I was FAT as
some of my school mates were 22" and 21"  
But when I left school shortly after meeting Gil
I was a 37X24X37  and STILL thought I was FAT  
What I would do to get THAT figure back  

Ok I am freezing here ,so going to take my shower
and get into my nightie and warm dressing gown then
crawl under my duvet
Its 13f but FEELS like -3f with the wind chill factor cannot seem to
get warm {hope I am not getting sick }

They dropped 164 gals which filled the tank {we have a 275 gal tank}
so should be OK for a while as long as the temps warm up

Speak tomorrow Bond        B O N D I said nite nite

Good evening all, lovely photo of you on FB Marge and made it into the papers, wow what a tiny waist
This All day working lark really tells now I've been in the chair I thought it was late and it was only 7:00 I could of gone to bed then
So drinks large L&L and coffee not in the same glass
Back later if I can meep awake

Well sounds like Melanie is TRYING to sort
things out with Jim ,but I agree she should
cut him loose if it happens again as it could
affect her ,and as you say Marge she has enough
on her plate ,PLUS a NEW puppy

It states on my Mums death certificate what she passed
from in the nursing home our youngest sibling took it upon
herself to put her in ,both Wendy and I said in doing that
our Mum would not last long ,and she did not just under 3 weeks
wonder why they never listed your mum Marge
DAM forgot I was going to put something on FB as Mum passed
away 16 yrs ago on Jan 3rd
Had it all worked out but then things happen here and it slipped
by me

Glad you had a nice evening and going to see Lorna tonight
how;s the "bucket"list doing
Glad I read your post as looked on the regular channel and its showed
no games on #212 but just found the Chelsea game on #213

I see City made it through the 3rd round beating Stoke 2-1

Bond I will take a L & L for later and can I have a coffee made with
two sugars and creamer please .....

Ba back later going to sit with feet up now for a while till I have to
feed Gil

Recording the Chelsea FA Cup game while I gather my little grey cells
together. Spent a pleasant time visiting June and Rob for a few hours
yesterday. I  think they wanted to know how my road trip went as they
don't drive much anymore, only locally.
I think I am due at Lorna's tonight.

Melanie phoned me yesterday to tell me she is adopting a Chihuahua puppy.
She went to the local dog rescue place to see what was available and
said she could not resist in her words the "Overflow of cuteness".

She also told me that she and Jim are taking it one day at a time for now.
with Jim doing all that he should have been doing for months now.
She says that she needs to work on her part in not picking up sooner that
he was circling the drain again.
She also made it clear that if he couldn't stay clean this time she would file
for divorce.
Even people who have been clean a long time still have blind spots where
loved ones are concerned.
I won't be satisfied until he gets a real evaluation from a GP. and sees a
trained therapist to help him see the damage he is doing to himself and
how its hurting those around him. The awful truth is that some can never
get past the stage he is at with relapses every few months if it is
Bi-polar he has.
Melanie has enough to handle with recovering from two major surgeries
and starting her new treatment schedule soon. She has had the first
infusion and next comes the series of shots.
Found out my next Drs. appointment is Monday morning, not the 18th
as written on my appointment card!
(I just got a reminder message yesterday).
The fifth of January would have been my Mothers 98th birthday but she
died in 1970 at the age of 50. Her death certificate is useless as it says
nothing about what she died from in a major Birmingham hospital after being
send there from Walsgrave hospital as it was known then.
No wonder my emotions are doing a rollercoaster ride.
Have no fear, I am OK, so will carry on by keeping busy.  
Sorry Carole ,only Branston here , I ate the rest of the Pickled onions yesterday
with my lunchtime sandwich!

Hi Carole, steady gel sit down and have a minute, pickle onions, Branston pickle and a couple of spring onions
A cold drink L&L or a hot drink,
A bit of remembering when it was warm

I'm pooped .went to Big Y
talk about FREEZING cold ,got back here and Blaine
had said so he could get up and help me
carry the bags in ,and he said the oil truck had just left
{filled the tank}

So got all that put away ,then Spencer called said he was
coming home for the 3 "S" 's
turned out to be shave and ,could not shave
at Carmen's as he did not have his razor there {well that's one
thing I guess as these last few weeks it feels like he has MOVED OUT

Got Gil up dressed and gave HIM a shave ,and made breakfast
for him and now he is scratching his lotto cards

On top of all this I have washed dried and folded two loads
of and lugged it up the stairs which is killing me
to do these days

Anyway I am now DONE ....

Blaine getting ready to go out ,Spencer said Carmen is throwing
a small party tonight for Three Kings Day

Picked up some sharp and extra sharp Cracker Barrel cheese today Bond
was on sale ...any pickles


Morning Marge

Good evening all, just Back from the Owen Street centre working on the new set for the next play, "gas light" so now we have a change from the land of Oz to a victorian lounge complete with freez, picture rail, a cast iron fire place and great
So now its bread and cheese and a glass of beer
Back later

Old picture fed up of seeing the "COLD"
so this is a bit warmer

We need a "funny" wrapped all
up with a FUR COAT
Had the heat up to 78f and got up at 630am
the thermostat says 64f brrr
So upon putting the TV on I see WHY  
Bridgeport is at -13f with the wind that is gusting
28mph,so in your figures that is a BALMY -25c
And instead of going UP it will go DOWN ,so Sunday morning

Yes yes there was and has been some groups as good for a time, I think as I've said it's when these TV pundits say that a band of today is the best band,

Oh what about the "Hollies"   or "Herman's Hermits"      "Woke up this morning feeling fine, knew something special on my mind "   a guy I'd met had the DJ play that to me.    oh and  "Freddy and the Pacemakers"      "Ferry cross the Mersey"   love that song.
