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

First topic message reminder :

Hi Vicky,I don't know if it's right to say your lucky to have lost a hand bag but you don't see Kylie with a handbag very often when she is out and about,so she must have taken a real shine to it 
She must a PR officer to carry her bits 
Good photo shoots on Christmas morning

As for my sister not good news she is still on the ventilator
Not good 
Sorry about last night Vicky but I had a nap this afternoon so shoul be up for it 
Love a game of monopoly
Hot chocolate and a biscuit
I don't know anything about  Dion but I always thought she needed a good dinner with Yorkshire pudding

Good evening, no he's OK not hurt bu shuck up very shock up he cried like a baby
He thought he had let the team down, so he doesn't want to do it tomorrow so I'm the Giant

The situation with the ex- marine is much more political in nature.
 Russia is not going to let him go until there is a better swop
in place. Or they stop helping Ukraine. 
He worked in intelligence at some time so accused of spying, a much 
more dangerous charge. 
The Basketball player was something that fell into Russia's lap by accident.
They found what they said was MJ oil in her vaping kit.
If so, she was stupid! She had played on Basketball teams before in Russia.
She knew the rules. 
It was just a little side show for the Russians.

Bond omg FELL OFF THE STAGE ,is he ok 
That must have been a sight Giant head and 
Spice girl legs 

Hey I was also in the Gondoliers 
but as one of the dancers
Vicky that was in 1956 ,I was not 
*discovered * by my music master until 
early in 57 he was mad I'd been keeping 
*low* all that time not wanting to let him know 
I had a voice 

I wanted Nanki Poo, in the Mikado but he was 
in love with Yum Yum ,so the Lord high executioner
told Poo Bah to *woo me* 
on a Tree by a willow a little Tom Tit sang Willow Tit Willow 
Tit Willow
Oh we had such fun back then 

Night is drawing in and temps are dropping 
Stay warm sleep tight talk tomorrow

Good evening al ,so the Morris dancer then the cow then ginger Spice
THEN the giant fell off the stage ,so I took over the giants part with my bottom half as a Spice Girl
I've only got to do the narrator and I've done the lot ,
I need a drink
Back later

BTW Margaret thank you for your best wishes for David he's so much better now .....and no Carole don't what it was, nothings come up with his tests.

"Three little maids from school are we Margaret, Carole, Vicky make three......Three little Maids..... are we"

Evening......sorry I woke you up,  I didn't want the hot chocolate to go cold.

Yes Carole as you say what a voice Celine Dion had,  poor girl, now she really does have health problems. poor poor girl.

I don't think Baden should have agreed to swop though Carole,  not for that basketball player,  a marine maybe but a basketball  .....  

That's the problem with Harry & Meghan they played the race card when all they were getting over here was welcome and happiness that Harry had found someone,from the general public and nobody could say that Charles didn't welcome her into the family, flippen heck he even walked her up the aisle in place of her Father.  and the Queen was all smiles, her favourite Grandson was getting married.  and when Archie was born the photo of a grandmother {Meghan's Mum} and a Great Grandmother {The Queen} looking at Arche and the smiles on both faces said it all, they were both thrilled.      When  Princess Michael of Kent wore the Blackamore  brooch  the papers slated  Princes Michael of Kent,  they were all on Meghan's side.  It was only later on they started to criticise the couple or being hypocrites.....telling us to do one thing to save the Planet and then they go and do the very thing they're telling us not to do, and not just once but over and over again.  and we did here they put notices though neighbours doors telling them only to speak to the couple when they speak to them first,  even the Queen doesn't expect that.  Ok I thought Mmm newspaper gossip but then at Wimbledon she demanded that only her friends {three I think } plus her body guards must sit near her,  so all those with tickets, I think it was about 40 empty seats, were left outside,   her bodyguard even told a few people who was taking photos  of the players warming up and one guy a selfie of himself and the players to stop taking photos were as Kate a couple of days before had the ordinary Tennis fans sat all round her. no problems.    So of course I thought "Mmm maybe it's true then about the notes through neighbours"   After the African tour they went to Canada for a break.....poor little things,   Harry and Meghan came back but not Archie and that said to me they were off to live in Canada.

She was treated differently,  no other girlfriend had ever been invited for Christmas as Meghan was.      What really showed what they were was the Oprah interview while his Grandfather was dying.......and this Netflix story was cobbled together when the Queen hadn't long to live,  the Queen knew it and so did her family and I'm sure that was also Harry.         what a lovely caring couple they are.

Hope all is well with your blood test then Carole.

And your SIL Bond.

Hey I used to be a Morris Dancer.......

Now break a leg.

Hey just a thought you could do Mikado next time Bond.......we have an expert on board already,  ------->  Carole.   She could sing all the difficult parts onto a CD and then you just play it back to the audience......and I could Morris Dance,  we'll find a place to slip that in, and the audience could sing Jingle Bells     "Jingle bells Jingle bells Jingle all the way"         "Three Little Maids from School.are we,  Margaret, Carole and Vicky make three"

Now I know where Rob gets his musical talent.......

It was nearly cold enough for frost here last night 
so wrapped up warm with my cat by my side.
It was 47f when I got up finally. 

I think, what set off the M thing was a slimey
front page story with a headline that said
"Straight out of Compton" to indicate she was
black. (It was the name of a film some time ago)
She must have been mortified! 
What was she doing reading all the trash?
Publicity! 
She got plenty but not the kind she wanted. 
Technically, she is of mixed race like Obama 
and Tiger Woods, some with more African DNA
than others. 
She wanted to be on someone's gravy train 
It did not turn out that way. 
She lives in LA LA land of make believe and
fairytales.  
Enough said. 

Still seeing a few ants around the sink area 
but I clean up every night and wipe it down. 
I still cannot see where they are coming in from.

I need to gather together all the paperwork
for my trip to the DMV on Monday to get an extension 
on my driving license. It's just until I get my eye exam
done and make the appointment for the vision driving test
again. 
I took care of the "real" driving license thing a couple of year ago
but not everyone has, they keep extending the deadline they are so
behind.  It is meant to be used on domestic flights like a passport 
and get into Government buildings or on military bases. 
It has a hologram on it which cannot be faked. 
Melanie had a far more difficult time as she has changed her
married name so many times! 

Break a leg with the show Bond.
Good to hear your hand is healing Carole.
Wishing you good news about David Vicky. 
TTFN XXX

Hi , thanks Carole,off we go again ,the parts are not bad non speaking it's the quick changes
That the problem,from Morris dancer to cow to Spice Girl,
It's cold and frosty out I wouldn't want to be sleeping in a door way tonight
Back later

10:20:43
Hopefully good news then Bond about your SIL

Just made a dish I saw on face book turned out
perfect
Shredded cabbage ,peppers and onions
bacon and kielbasa
Just made an appointment to get my blood test to check
my thyroid numbers after she dropped my script down lower

Wanted to go Saturday but nothing available so made it for
next Tuesday at 710am ,left Monday in case we get snow

So again good luck Bond

Good afternoon all, Emmett went about 1:30 and we have had a hours sleep ready for 
The evening performance,
Yes Carole that was /is the giant ,I do need to do a bit of work
On his costume to get the opening that he looks through stable
As it's moving around a bit 
They are taking the breathing tube out of my Sister in-law out today to see if 
She can manage on her own 
It's afternoons drinks over here and a a warm mince pie

My new avatar being as we are doing things
we did back in school
July 1957 I was 14 in Broad Street schools production
of The Mikado ,I as Katisha in this shot was
on my knees next to one of the coolies
on the left, we were bowing to HIM The Mikado
asking for mercy
All costumes and scenery was made by the pupils
and the boys art teacher ,Mr Stairs , and
sewing teachers Miss Pemberton and Mrs Milne

04:33:54
MOOOOO whoops I mean morning Bond
Is that YOU in the and red wig ,I seem to recognize
the legs
And I am thinking the "Giant " is the lad sitting on the left
as I recognize his pants
Over all though sounds like you all had a good performance √

My hand is a LOT better this morning THANK GOD ,but I am watching
what I do with it for a while yet

Sad about Celine Dion she has one hell of a voice

All the news is about our basket ball player being brought back from
Russia with a swap for a REALLY BAD arms guy who they called
"Merchant of death" and yet the ex marine who has been in prison
there for 4 yrs is still there ,but seems Russia said it was ONE exchange
or none
Then I see Putin more or less admitted he IS bombing the electric
power stations etc in Ukraine ,and they saying is THIS a WAR CRIME
I wonder just how much longer this will go on ,we have quite a few
Ukraine women and their children here in CT wondering when or IF
they will ever see their husbands again

Marge and Vicky I agree about M & H I don't care what they are doing
but there is a LOT who follow them even some Brits here who I saw
on TV the other night one in New York who runs a shop
who told the camera she thinks they are lovely and people should
LEAVE THEM ALONE
M has also ruffled some people of color here by saying she was
NOT looked on as colored when she lived here ,so I guess she is saying
the Royal family should have done or THOUGHT the same as that seems
to have been her biggest GRIPE that she was treated different and she
said how cold Kate was to her
Poor baby

Listening to the SNOW forecast here for Sunday night into Monday
depending on which computer you look at or European
along the coast should NOT be a lot ,but ANY when you have to drive
in it is TOO MUCH and looks like another lot the end of next week
that they are keeping an on developing
I KNOW its THAT time of the year but can do with out the WHITE
STUFF thank you ,nice when one does not have to go out in it
'but my boys still do and I worry if nothing else

Colder this morning but should still see some but only
a high around 45f so saying we should dress like its in the 20's brrrr

OK so as I am chauffeuring Blaine again today I had better get going


MORNING Vicky
morning Marge
hope your nights were good
Vicky so David seems to be recovering any idea what it was yet?

And Bond OK MOOO ve along sorry can't help it

Good morning all from Atherstone it's still dark out   but I guess it's cold 
We have Emmett here this morning
Vicky thank you for the hot chocolate sorry I wasn't much good to you a bit of a wet lettuce sorry
I have been awake early wondering how I can improve the giants costume,
I made it to fit a normal body but the lad that's the giants is huge as big at the back as the front
Breakfast and it's cornflakes and warm milk coffee tea and a large lemon and lime for later

Another photo of Susan talking to her Grandson about his Granddad and the war.....or was it his G Grandparents?

   Oh Margaret spot on about Meghan and her lap dog  "Yes Meghan. I'll do that straight away Meghan"   You wouldn't think Harry had been fighting in Afghanistan....he's a wimp.    

Yes Margaret the bow is back. ......

Wow Bond you're going to be flaked out, better have an early night.....I'll bring you a hot drink up.

Good evening all ,well it was a great night lots and lots of laughs
They joined in with the songs chic chic chicken lay a little egg for me 
That the first day over and the longest with two shows so a long day 
Tomorrow it's a morning with Emmett then dinner q rest before the next show 
It's a struggle to get this blue eye shadow and  gold glitter,the glitter is everywhere
So it's a warm drink a bit of a sit and chill before bed

I think those two should just shut up! 
They have nothing I want to see or hear.
It had been pointed out that M was treated no differently 
than any other civilian marrying into the Royal Family.
Including Diana.
They all learned on the job.
M thought it was going to like the Kardashian family here
who don't seem to do anything because daddy left them
filthy rich. They are into fashion and make up and 
looking like they have had lots of work done to their 
whole body! 
Not exactly pure American either the father came from Iran. 
He became an attorney here and was famous for being one 
of OJ Simpsons defense team. 

All of a sudden M was not calling the shots and she did not like it. She had tantrums
and we found out just how little class and dignity she had.  
She is playing rolls all the time never showing her true self to anyone. 
Every time those two get the Royal calendar of events there is something they are doing too.
They had their chance and blew it so why not accept it. 
There will be a place for Andrew down the line with Fergie.
 Harry will not be forgiven for what he is attempting to do to the royal Family.

The Windsors never tried to get publicity to compete with rest of the Royals.
She wanted an HRH and they never gave it to her. 
Just social climbers we all know that. 

Didn't Kate look adorable in that rented green dress with Diana's emerald choker!
I don't like the sloppy bow look she wears with a suit. Very Thatcher, I think. 
I got rid of all mine years ago. 
Still, I guess fashion run in cycles so bound to see somethings come round again.

Susan when she was in the school play, she was the Gran telling her story of her husband in the 1st WW.

David's  car has fake leather on the seats, though his Jag had real leather and no it wasn't cold, it's flippen hot in the summer when you first sit on them if your skin touches it.....OW OW OW......my seats in my car have cloth.  

Well now that you've mentioned the "The Meghan Fairy Story"  Carole   I haven't Netflix,   but if I had I wouldn't watch, though David said "well you can't argue if you've not seen it"   though I can say,  and our media have pointed it out,  in the clips we've seen sort of wetting our juices,   2 of the scene's with the press training their lens onto Meghan,  so Meghan and Harry says,  they were not trained onto Meghan  but they were outside the Courts when Katie Price came out, or went in, when Katie Price had gone to court AGAIN  on a drink driving charge......the other one was the Premier of a Harry Potter film.  So after seeing that clip,  i can't waste my time.   I saw enough untruths in the Oprah Winfrey programme.

Oh dear I can't hear it Margaret      sorry couldn't help it.

I don't care for the thin pizza's Carole..... so I won't bother.

Morning to you on the west coast then ,I saw your 
high today should be around 65f. Marge 
Now your mystery .    sounds like it 
Is a job for .  Sherlock .  Dum dum dum 

Glad your ant toothpaste arrived ,are you still seeing them ?

Blaine was asking if I knew what type of cat Harry was 
so after looking pictures up ,I believe he's some kind of
*Maine Coon* ,as he fits the discription not a pure bred 
as they  go for around $700 ,but every other traits he has
seems to point that way 

I just made myself a Paul Newman thin crust cheese pizza 
were not that bad at all 
So ill be back later again

Its 48F here right now a frost warning was issued last night
for certain areas. 
The ant treatment that Cindy sent for came, so went over
to collect it and stopped for a glass of wine and a pastry.
Dogs were so excited to see me, they know I love them.
They have a new cat that is Cindys sons.  and he plays
with Bobby,the all -white cat who must be 6 or 7 now.

It's hard to explain about how I can hear the songs.
It's not loud in the usual sense, it's more like somewhere
in the background very faint.
I thought I was going daft at first or that it was coming from
something like the Bose sound system. Then I thought he was listening to it
in his truck but it's not that either. 
I fear actually telling someone to come and see if they can hear it too as
If they cannot ,I'm in trouble! 

The Bose was second hand when bought so the fact that its lasted this long 
is beyond me. I cannot get behind the entertainment unit to dust it properly.
It's wired up to the speaker on the TV to get stereo sound. 
Tiny speakers smaller than a loaf of malt bread! 
I tend to think it is some kind of bleed over in the Bose unit as I have just been
and opened my back door and I could not hear it at all. 
It's something else that needs looking into.   
The Geek Squad installs TVs ,computers and stereos. 
It has to be new from Best Buy though. 
Back to Google!!   
I remember having trouble with listening to Radio Luxemburgh in the
old days when a stronger signal would interfere with it. 
You would keep turning the tuning knob until you got it back again.
This has no tuning knob :-c       
But it does have a remote! 
In for a penny, in for a pound I say.  If I break it, I will just get a new one!! 
TTFN XXXX

07:50:11
I'm home got blown coming back as even though
the suns out the winds picking up

Nice picture btw
Do you have leather car seats Vicky
as I'm sticking to my guns leather can be cold

They were just showing M&H on tv after their series aired
on NetFlix and asking the Royal reporters in London about
the reaction if any
I have no interest in watching it even if I could

Wonder how Bonds doing ,come on Daisy


Making home made chicken nuggets in the airfryer later
and not sure whether to do airfryer chips or a pot of rice
to go with them

Later

Avatar.......David, Jessica, Susan and Kelly at Drayton Manor. Susan and Kelly knew where to sit.

Morning........frosty last night & this morning and the frost is still on the grass.

Wow Dan learning to drive, Laura's been talking about learning to drive as well, she's asked her Dad to take her driving but he's said he'd rather she went with a Driving School.

I love Rob's home it's ever so cosy, that's why I'm so glad Susan kept their lounge, yes they knocked walls down so they could have a massive kitchen, which is lovely with a super snug at the end but they still kept the their lounge. They have a big Christmas tree in the kitchen.....well snug and a big one in the lounge. Steve always has a lovely tree as well, the kids have always dressed it, but they've always have a colour scheme

We have a cosy brown leather two seater sofa in here and I've never found it cold in winter Carole. I can't remember if the black chair was cold in the winter but I know the sofa in here isn't.

Well that's the first Christmas box I've given out this year., the window cleaner.

Back later.

My living room end
The pictures on the wall are all of Coventry cathedral
and surrounding areas taken by my friend
Mark Pemberton who I hear is making quite a name
for himself ,has a calendar coming out ordered by the Coventry Council
and has been doing weddings etc ,so he has come a long
way since we first met on Face book

04:32:14
Morning Bond
The back end of that "Cow suit" will feel nice and cozy then
You are going to be colder all week high only around 36f and get THIS
possible SNOW SHOWERS Wednesday /Thursday & Saturday

We are a bit cooler and could also see some snow Sunday night
our weatherman is telling us today  any where from 1 to 3ins

They are showing ten years ago when 20 children and 4 adults if I
remember right were killed here in CT at the Sandy school school
and STILL people are being killed with assault rifles most now gotten'
illegally some on the street
Pres Biden is STILL trying to BAN them ,but some are resisting saying
they have the right to "bear arms"  

Nice avatar Vicky only thing with leather chairs they get so cold in winter

Hope you had a more restful night Marge I would certainly complain
if your neighbor keeps THAT up ,here in CT we have noise rules
after  certain time

SO Dan is learning to DRIVE  my goodness how time flies
but as to having an open concept living room etc not being able to
look Christmasy  I disagree mine is all open and you can make
it cozy and Christmasy if you want

What ever I did to my right hand seems to be easing some as long
as I do not lift anything too heavy right now or try  twisting any thing
so guess all the heat/ice yesterday is working

So I will be taking Blaine to work today
Spencer had his therapy last night and has one more visit in two weeks
that he HOPES is the last and that the case will be closed as this is
from when he got rammed from the rear in one of the two accidents
this is AFTER the major one in July

I will pop in later as going no where after I get back
BREAK A LEG Bond and have a good time

Good morning all from a very cold Atherstone white over with frost 
You can't beat a leather chair ,
The kids came over last night with Dan driving with the Ls on ,he went up and down the by pass a few times it's a long straight road so he was able to get up to a bit of speed
The thing they said was how cosy our lounge was and very christmasy as they had come from their home that has had the internal walls knocked out making it open planned
Breakfast and it's cornflakes and warm milk coffee tea and a large lemon and lime for later
Avatar is the giants hands they are like table tennis bats with the handles in the sleeve
They are attached by nylon cord around his neck like infant school gloves so they don't loose them ,so he can hold them or let them swing

Photo of Susan sat on a black leather chair which was in here, though this room wasn't a study but a games room.   9 yrs Where she's sat we now have a TV,

Break a leg Bond........but I'll have a hot chocolate before you're tied up Bond.

Good evening all
Iwe went to see Tora Tora Tora over Birmingham on a coach trip ,a documentary type film 
I think it was known not to have any English spoken for some time ,I think 🧐
That was bad news Vicky,sending a man to do the gas pipes but couldn't do the gas ?
Sherlock Holmes is on the box ,
So hot chocolate and a biscuit
A bit late for chilled white wine owner here
Big day tomorrow,full dress rehearsal in the afternoon then first night of
Jack and the bean stalk, me in a cow skin with a widow
Night night

A pair of old -fashioned squeeze nutcrackers work on Bottle tops.
On all other wide mouth jars, quick taps around the edges of the
lids usually loosens the vacuum. If all else fails I use a metal pick
to puncture the middle of the lid (Not very often I resort to that)
I bang mine on my wooden carving board.

I am a bit hung over this morning, there were so many spam -risk
calls yesterday flogging the states solar panels and then
one of the crew who live next door has started listening to
Male voice choir singing. It sounds like maybe Russian deep
voices. It's not loud but I can hear it from their bedroom
that faces my house. The speakers must be facing my way.
It is weird as it seemed to be coming from space to begin with. 
Like it was coming through some device in my house! 
I thought he was through for the evening but started playing
a few tunes after midnight. I opened a bottle of wine at that point! 
I had a cheese and cracker tray with it so not drinking on an empty
stomach. 

Had had a disagreement with Ian earlier by FB messenger 
It was about changing a savings account at Northrop to get
higher interest.  I asked if it was covered by FDIC, as most
accounts at regular banks are so that if anything happens,
your money is covered up to $10,000. he did not know!
He seemed peeved that I was not excited. 
it entails investing your money in a higher risk venture
to get that extra interest so if the stock market tanks you are out of luck.
It's at low risk now as that is what Peter set it at, slow and steady.
Ian has never had much money to find out how it all works. 
It's not like switching phone companies or cable companies.
Not something you can undo quickly if it does not work out.

Going to get some breakfast now and decide what needs
doing.  TTFN XXX
PS 
It's the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor today.
Not many survivors left now. A ship that sank with nearly 
all the crew has been left where it is, just below the surface
with a platform over it with all the names on it. 
There is a ceremony every year to remember the event.
The Movie Tora,Tora,Tora  represents the history of 
this event truthfully.

12:54:06
Never like hearing someone is on the ventilator Bond
especially when they have been a and are older
So here's hoping she makes it

Wow £100 for you and £1000+for David well done
I remember my grandad doing the pools growing up
always told me he was waiting for his * * to
arrive ,unfortunately it never did

Not raining yet and still in the 50's but more coming
they say

Any goodies going

Good evening,no more news about my sister in law still 50 /50
She is still under sedation but tomorrow they are going
To see if she can breathe on her own without the machine
So she will still be in intensive care so not able to visit not that she would know 
I was there 
There's a lot of education going on in here
So Vicky it's all round to your place then we'll done

Agree Rob was saying he thought the maths Matthew was doing at school was hard for Rob when he looked at it, then he started doing higher maths.....Rob said "It could be Egyptian as far as I was concerned"     and now the maths Matthew' s doing at Uni  is    he's enjoying being at Uni though.

Went to Palmers, we both had scampi, chips and peas and ab egg custard.

It's chilly out.

Finished my kindle very good book...started my next one .......not to sure.

Oh I won £100 on the premium bonds.......but David won £1,075.  

David changed to business technology when he went to 
Berkley Vicky ,he got his Doctorate from MIT in  physics 
Went to Johnson another college and got his diploma
in Astro ,Physics 
All Greek to me 

New avatar.......Steve's 21st birthday.

Morning.......and the  is out.

Next door, Irene and Alex,  have some really super outside lights.......I said to David "We could...." "No"  the boss said.

David's been in touch with the guy who came to sort our boiler out, and who said he was going to get in touch with his Boss......we've heard nothing so David found a British Gas boiler and the pipes  on the internet,  so David phoned the guy up to tell him this "Send me the link"  he said .......since then silence......so he's on the phone to British Gas again.

What's David tutoring in Carole.?

Oh you gave me jam and  this morning  Bond  which I enjoyed and

Oh Carole I've got a gadget which you place on top of the jar, bottle etc and you grip the handles and turn it, no forcing, and it opens everything.......can't you find this in one of the shops you go to or if not on the Internet,  it's not pricy, I've bought one for  because she struggles with jars etc.      It's not the only thing I've bought her,  she asked me for an address book,  so I got that and a book I saw with she'll like.  

Oh dear there's an argument going on between David and British Gas. I wouldn't care we pay them each month  so if we need them they come out.  

We're waiting for the the Asda man.

  That brought back memories Bond putting the jar in the door frame to open it.

you hit it on the  Bond trying to open a bottle
of apple cider vinegar ,tried to twist it off ,then turned
it upside down and tapped the bottom ,then tapped the
cap with a heavy knife  then twistd it AGAIN ,felt something go
Adding insult to injury Spencer picked the bottle up
when he got home and OPENED it ,
I told him that was BECAUSE I had ALREADY done
the HARD PART

Ok let Blaine take my ,so feeling like a
out of water with no wheels

Be back later

Hi Carole,all done so legs down ,have you sprained your hand then opening the bottle/jar ? 
Easy done with some of these airtight jobs gone are the days of jamming then in between the door and frame that I would of done at home and put a dent in the frame and crack the paint work,we must of gone posh 
The big old Transit minibus I used to drive had a sticking starter motor ,I used to have to 
Put it in first gear (engine off) get out and rock it until it must of moved on a cog ,back in and away ,not good if it was raining, or taking the girlfriend out ,it was like that right up until I sold it ,the man that bought it had a new one fitted and used it to run back and forward to Normandy France,I think he may of dumped it there 
All the lads have done well 
Drinks time ,I've got a spicy pot noodles I don't think it's seen much of a duck

David Michael after getting his diploma from
MIT {Massachusetts Institute of Technology}
Cannot remember what year this was or how
old David was but could have been when he
got his Doctorate
Before this he graduated from Princeton of course
and is now a Assistant Professor Marge's side
at Berkley college California

05:39:23
Not a good morning ,one finger typing first off
as my hand is still hurting cannot pick anything up with weight
so have no idea how I will make dinner or open cans etc
plus the last night until 2am gone was  POUNDING
outside and woke me up a number of times so I eventually
woke up at 5:10am
Blaine gets up at 540 and I am still running him to work until
he makes arrangements with Carlos to replace the starter
and that will be AFTER he finds out how MUCH it will be for his car

TOO many problems ALL at once
he just said let me take your as also he would need a
ride home tonight as Jimmy who has been running him home
has to leave early so I would be having to go before 430 to get him
ONLY problem with that is it leaves ME STRANDED in case I needed
to go out  so I am TORN what to do
Cannot even ask Spencer to go get him as he gets out at 430 as well
now as today he has the only therapy appointment still {once every two weeks
for now till they say stop and he will be done with them all }

I HATE to feel rushed
Ah well I am guessing it will all work out in the end
I thank the good lord for some of my friends

As to your tree Bond ,a "Charlie Brown"  tree is so called because
it has no decorations and looks so "sparse"  pretty with the lights though

Any way I have to decide whether or not to let Blaine take the
So I will be back later
Also its right now 55f here at 6am   CRAZY
you should be dry Bond but only a high of 35f
so wrap up

Morning ladies

Good morning all from Atherstone it's a cold and frosty morning here 
The cars are white over but nowhere to go this morning so it can stay like it 
I don't know about Charlie Brown Carole I know it's easier to put up no dangling bits just 
Put it up and plug it in 
We do have a new bit of decoration,a nut cracker soldier on horseback, but last he seemed to of moved  so I don't know if he's been over to see the yoga lady
It's cleaning day but first breakfast and it's cornflakes and warm milk
Toast and marmalade
Back later

Another photo of Steve and one of his mates  {can't remember what his name was} seemed a nice guy.

Oh glad it arrived, with our post at the moment my fingers, eyes and legs were crossed.

And you've hurt your hand, oh boy Carole you're in the wars.

I'll have a hot chocolate please Bond......I suppose he's gone off to bed.

Cute trees ,no trees here I'm afraid two reasons really
not in the mood plus a certain fur ball monster would have a 
BALL ,CRASH BANG 
Bond don't they call trees like that *Charlie Brown *trees ?
Vicky thank you just got a box from you ,you REALLY should 
not have though 

Some how messed up my right hand trying to open a bottle 
of vinegar
Icing it and then applying heat ,what a pain in the loo

Starting to rain more now talk tomorrow
Thanks Marge 
Night Bond 
Oh and Gil went cold turkey in his 70's 
after starting smoking after we divorced he said in 1972

Time for bed ,you look good with your hands on your hips tapping your foot 
We haven't had the shoe hanging for some time 
Ok I'll get the hot chocolate and biscuits

The new avatar is the with 300 lights on and nothing else when the lights are not on it looks like it's been in a Australia bush fire
Just back from picking mrsb from the baths and the cars frost warning light was on so Heater and blower on full 
I think it's a hot chocolate time

Ah I thought so.
