Me again
Tightas - congrats on the good news :T

Elaine - Glad to hear that OH is on the road to recovery

f1widow - Yes I had trouble with mine but it seems to have rectified itself now, goodness knows what was wrong

Kathy - hope the car boot goes well and the weather is kind

May - You seem to have so much better luck finding patterns than me so could I be cheeky and ask have you any idea where to find a pattern for a cardi or jumper with a fairy on. It is for my friend who's DGD is now living in New Zealand and as she hopes to go over for Christmas and New Year she wants to do it and take it with her, and asked if I could help, and I IMMEDIATELY thought of you
mrs-moneypenny - well done to your DS :T hope all goes well tonight

Jean - well done on getting all those seat covers done, no mean task that :T

Shelley - OH has just been down to the PO and sent a parcel off to you, with 5 Buntings and 4 vent hats in, but I forgot the 5p's, I will send them next time

Lou - Parcel on its way to you too with 2 scarves and 2 boobs in. For some reason I havent been able to get into the L/H site since before I went away will try again later, might have to log off and start again

dpixie - well done with the French :T

It seems very quiet in here

Off to start dinner now, have good evenings all

Hi everyone - hope you are all well.

I should have been back on here earlier but we didn't get back from our friends' place until late this afternoon, then I had to go and buy some food, then cook the dinner, and now I can sit down - while DH mows the lawn!

The car boot went very well but I had no time to browse or buy (probably just as well!) because I was taking orders for the fish and chip van. That was a riot because we were so busy and I got all my languages messed up, so was sending in orders for fish and frites, or peche and chips! The van sells other meals, too, and every time I went through the list of various sauces, the customers laughed. For some reason, when I said 'sauce blanche' they all thought it was hysterical! Mind you, the beer tent opened at 8am and people had been getting tanked up since then! The men were drinking (the British beer that they really love) and their wives were running the stalls - every so often, one of the wives would try and get their man to help with the stall, but it all fell on deaf ears. By comparison, the Brits were very well behaved and none of them wanted to start drinking just after breakfast! The whole of the green outside our friend's house was full of stalls, and it was all very good-natured and friendly. Over 500 euros was raised for the charity (to spay and neuter stray cats), so it was a great success. We were treated to delicious scampi and chips for dinner, too.

As for knitting, I managed to knit one Innocent Smoothie hat on the way there, but that's all. Will try and get stuck in a bit more this week because DH is working all week (on a house we nearly bought, when we were looking for a place, so I'm sure he's looking forward to a good nose at it!), so I should have some spare time.

I'll catch up with the rest of the thread that I've missed since I left yesterday, and update, tomorrow.

Elaine - hope DH is doing well.

Chalky - I can imagine having the album and CD as a present brought all the happy memories back for you!

F1Widow - sorry you've been under the weather.

Pippa - hope you had a good time.

Maytaurus - hope you are having a good day.

Goodnight and good morning, Chalky!! Thought I'd get in first!

Not good news - DH is VERY POORLY. Went back into intensive care on Sunday after developing pneumonia. Attached to lots of machines, heart, lungs and kidneys are not working and we spent all day yesterday -13 hours - at the hospital, managing to pop in 3 or 4 times to see him in between the staff working on him. Been warned that things are not looking good for him.

Oh! Elaine I am so sorry to hear things are not progressing as well as you had hoped. The feeling of powerlessness is almost overwhelming at such times. I am going to join with all your friends here to sending loving thoughts to you and your family and we all hope there is better news for you all very soon.

Will pop back later.
