| Evette is a soft touch, be it with her children, grandchildren or Bev. It's not a case of buying people just that she's a push over.....she's a really lovely kind person. |

| One must be hard up for friends and buys them. The other must be a moocher and only likes friends who pay for her. Usually its with a man not another woman.
Oh Bond, You know the first rule of putting anything together. Check twice before you start work. Master craftsman that you are, maybe its too much radio that's distracted you. Its OK we have all done something that we have messed up one way or another. I remember knitting a frock coat for Melanie which took up many hours of my time. Once I had finished the border(all of 24 inches wide) I noticed I had missed a row in the pattern and so had to undo it all and start again! I was knitting it a much bigger size than she was but it took me a year to complete and it just fitted her then! I stayed with knitting dolls clothes after that!

| Evette is certainly silly with her money where Bev's concerned......though Evette's bought a house and is spending money on it and of course Bev is worried that Evette might run out of spare cash. |

| You're doing well Margaret. Well finally spoke  to Bev.....yes they did meet up with two guys from Coventry, and after Evette got home, well back from Blackpool, Bev talked her into staying the weekend at Bev's saying she'd drop her off at home on the Monday and THEN she could go to see her Mum in hospital but Evette's sister phoned her on the Saturday saying their Mum had taken a turn for the worse....Bev told Evette she'd drop her off at home on the Monday and she could get a bus and go to the hospital, but Evette's Mum died on the Sunday night, THEN Bev said "Well Evette wanted to go and say bye to her Mum at the hospital but I wasn't driving when it was getting dusk....so she had to get her sister to come and pick her up to take her to the hospital" after all Evette does for Bev.  |

| Good evening all, just had a sign writerz nightmare set out beautiful baubles to fit a gap and got it to fit lovely, painted it all finished and thought that fits better than I thought it would, then saw why it fitted better than I thought it would (beautiful) So painted it out ready to start again tomorrow, good job its only emulsion on cardboard for a sign on the bazar No Carole I didn't think it's to do with interest, more someone silly with money may be

| OH, I just flicked my little finger and all that I had written just disappeared ! I did quite a lot yesterday (for me) I changed both light bulbs in the ceiling lights and changed the battery in the wall clock (that took some fiddling as I had to keep taking it down to get it in sinc with the TV and computer clocks) That's now done. Changed the battery in the tiny remote that controls the 12 disc CD player in my car. I put stuff away and swept the floor. Then I started with the smoke alarms but could not read the small writing so I will try again with the magnifying glass this morning. Did 2 small loads of I have changed the cats moist food as they are only licking the gravy and leaving the meat! They bother me every time I go in the kitchen for more food so I am trying Blue Healthy Gourmet, Its still small cans but they seem to like it and its filling their tummies more so not getting bothered as much for food. Its flaked with a small amount of gravy. They get so fickle about food every once in a while. Two kinds of Kibble, one they came with and another that's for indoor cats. And they need a pot of grass (not that kind) its especially for indoor cats. they love it. Its off to the grind again this morning now the weather is a little cooler I feel ready to tackle a few more things. TTFN |

| No I've not managed to get her since she came back from Blackpool. I've left 3 messages though she has spoken to Susan on FB. Yes Bond she'll most likely get in touch by then.....though she's had her birthday present, just after she'd got back from Hong Kong, because she asked me for it early, so maybe she isn't bothered about seeing me for her birthday unless she thinks I'll buy her another present not liking to just hand a card over. As to Sir Graham .....you know why he won't post Carole so there's nothing I can do about changing his mind, I'm not his keeper.  It would be nice him posting again but there you go. Lovely dinner Bond, I do like liver & onions though David doesn't like liver that much so we don't often have it, once a year  .... |

| Oh well that's my duty done. ......oh she's hard work, of course she was on about Brexit "I was talking to Karen and she was telling me how difficult it's going to be going abroad" I asked her "How?" and she said "Well you'll have to have international driving licence" er right and what did we have before we joined the Common Market? .....you'd think we never had a life away from the EU. I asked her if James had had to get a Visa to go to America or India "Oh yes" Quite I said. Then she was going on about "And we'll have to stock pile drugs" we can't stock pile drugs because drugs have a shelf life.....I do wish people wouldn't believe the scare tactics. Of course our Government are waving the white flag, they didn't want us to leave anyway......never thought we'd vote to leave so they got a shock, but of course we are having "Maybe we should vote again" to get the right answer as other countries did....well if we have to vote again I'll NEVER vote in any election ever again.  Oops how did I get on here. BTW Carole it's bedworth not Bed'uth. and no Bond doesn't say "Bed'uth" Later...... |

| Morning you two ... One last day before the waters  from Florence drops in on us tomorrow So Vicky  with  today ,what was the "good word" from Sir G you never say Talking of feeding the poor they are showing a convoy on TV right now that will be going around the State feeding the hungry and helping stock the food pantry's ,all these 18 wheeler's are full of donated food from different grocery stores and farm around the State ,I see one from Garilick Farms so that will be full of milk and eggs etc another is from Shop Rite stores a big grocery store here ,and there is another man from a large farm who says they have chickens ... I know it USED to not be allowed to do what your State is doing Marge I wonder if its changed here There is such a NEED now a days with people unable to make ends meet even the so called "middle class" are know seen going to a food pantry to help stretch their food dollars .. I have been awake AGAIN since 4am ,Buddy gets up and then after jumping on the bed goes out into the living room YOWLING ,I yelled at him once but got up at 450am ,its not like he is wanting to GO OUT he just wants me UP and OUT HERE I am thinking of waking HIM up during the day ,see how HE FEELS I saw a comment about the hurricane/tropical storms that are making their way across the Atlantic ,Hellene and Issac ,someone said they thought Hellene would impact the  ,but it looks like THAT one is making a right hand turn before getting there ,but it MIGHT be Issac that could affect your weather Fall arrives here on Saturday and after temps in the 80's our weatherman is saying its RIGHT ON TIME as on Sunday and the following week it will FEEL like fall with temps only in the 60's  MY KIND of weather Anyway waiting on Spencer to get up ,he must have fallen to over Carmen's last night as he did not roll in until 1215am , I did not  him like I did last week as I was told he is a GROWN MAN  so if he is tired  its NOT MY FAULT Going to run the mower over the back lawn this morning Be back MORNING Marge _________________ Carole B [i]

| Morning......it's warm though Bond isn't it. I just think it's mad to throw away good food just because it's reached the "sell by" date....as you say Margaret to give to the food kitchens is so much better but no super markets etc have to throw it away. Right I'm popping around to  later. |

| Our Grocery stores are allowed to donate food beyond its "sell by date" to be donated to food banks not the general public as it would cause a riot. Things like bread and cakes and veggies are donated to meals on wheels along with fruit & dairy products.
It gives them a bit better diet than the canned stuff which has a lot of salt in it. It is also given to the soup kitchens for the homeless. It is seen as a civic duty of the businesses to help those in need in their community. Its all organized.
I can see how it can be mistaken but we all believe in Arthur and the knights of the Round Table too! I love legends as each region has its own versions like Robin Hood. Each has its own ring of truth as to place and time. I just put a new battery in the clock but it must be on the night time setting as its not chiming! While I was waiting the Westminister chimes to start I had to replace both ceiling bulbs as the second one went out last night! Now I have to go and wind the hands on to what ever the time is now but 12 hours on.

| Maybe the Queen should allow the bones to be examined, though children's coffins were found in St Georges Chapel also but up to now she hasn't agreed for any of the children's bones to be tested. All I know Margaret is historian's NOW say the naked ride is a myth......maybe the story teller Roger of Wendover didn't help with many of his stories being proved wrong.....totally made up. I remember reading years ago they thought she had ridden "bare backed" without a saddle.... but this monk had ......embellished it.

| Wow thats hell of a price for a walnut whip  I still have to come in for food and sleep Carole There you go again Marge a history book on legs When we went to Newquay at the beginning of the year some fantastic pastry shops then we went to St. Ives and every other shop was a pasty shop with loads of pastys in the window in and I said at the time what do they do with the ones they don't sell today as they could never sell them all?? Last drinks for the night |

| It was M'ladies choice if they had no lord and master to protect them. Sometimes it was the son and heir that wanted them gone. As to the Godiva legend being untrue, I believe it was true but no one spoke of it for a hundred years. The people of Coventry in those days held her in as much esteem as todays people feel about Diana. Remember it was a much smaller population then and it would have been inside the area of the City walls. If they had closed all the city gates and stayed behind closed shutters who would have seen her anyway. Its like Shakespeare's play of Richard the III, He wrote of Richards deformity but it was never mentioned anywhere else. And then Richards historians started to piece together stories of him being entombed in a long forgotten Priory. What did they find, but a skeleton with a distorted spine! And, traced a real live ancestor! The Princes in the Tower was also proved true after children's remains were found under a stone stair case. I keep an open mind. Carole, take it easy on the goodies. Don't need an upset tummy.

| Just converted some of the prices the walnut whip was $2 (£1.53p) and the Maltesers $5.25 {£4} Terrible what we Ex Pats have to pay for a taste of home Oh and after coming out I saw on their brochure they also had CORNISH PASTIES _________________ Carole B [i]
