Good morning to you all! (From evening time here.)
1.I can actually say 'I'll be home next week!'
2.Good day at work, I am training up the girl who will be 'me' for 2 weeks when I am away.
3.Left work , on time ( was late everyday last week ) , so nice to come home, not too much traffic, have half an hour to myself, eat a free from work muffin & read a newspaper someone had left at work!
4. Walked halfway to get DD2 from school.....I am shocking & although on my feet all day , walk very little compared to what I was in life before little car! Posted a letter that had the most pretty stamp on it! The gardens are full of glorious colours.
5.Had a free from work, chicken wrap that would have been binned if I hadn't rescued it!
6.Had an invite from a friend back home to go to a surprise party the day we arrive.....have warned her jet lag may set in!0 -
oooh! meant to say 'hello' to Ampersand!0

Quick 5 from yesterday then I shall catch up properly later! And welcome back to Ampersand! :-)
1) Long lie in (boys at their father's).
2) Made carrot and coriander soup and some homemade bread.
3) House nice and tidy.
4) MrB came round in the afternoon. :-)
5) Boys came back and we had a game of rugby! (Or rumpy, as smaller son calls it). Possibly not the best idea to have my first ever "game" with an actual rugby player! Stomach muscles twinge today.0 -
Morning all, with many thanks for rtn greetings. No sense of time or place back yet but am now showered, de-manked and out door>Surgery. Feel I'm out-of-body observing self ill/rough and no improvement despite massed citrus/porridge/strepsil/pain things intake. HAVE to be well enough to do Sun @ Ally Pally and earn; need to be well-prepped and pray weather will allow this[unpack/sort/spread/choose suitable stock+research on much new tonk, bought in France for purpose.]
Theft - can do nothing - it was my one big lump of gold, needless to say.

I am ashamed because I DO have 5 pleasures for which to be grateful -
1. I can and will travel and meet people.
2. Neighbour was magnificent during the August nightmare and sent new Bank card on to France.
3. Monsieur Largeron of the Police Nationale of Valence and Lee Shoebridge from Nat West CARE team- but I didn't get him till day 6 of the Kafka period - I am glad to name them. Then Julie and Sevan Safarian[beautiful franco-armenian name, I think] and Julie's parents Guy and Mimi, en visite de Quebec.....all life-savers for me.
4. Said neighbour's bro.[also over 70] has laid the [long waiting] blocks for little driveway in my absence and tidied front - all a marvellous job. He was getting onto it March 2010, but it's done now and I know he will be undercharging me rather than asking a fair>going rate.
5. Delirium, seesaw temperature, extreme pain and much else has been my state for a fair bit and Dr will sort it all.

Frith - I found a rather suitable English mug for you in Villeurbanne on Thursday, so perhaps remind me of your addy via pm? You are SO different now, it's marvellous to pick up on.
In fact, the murky English grey and cold wind is what my fever craves atm....can't believe I'm writing that. In bed I lie and revel in the curtains' billow bringing cool winds over body.

p.s. re joys of listening to Le Rugby. What a match from Wales! Had put putah on and turned it so I could watch from bed, not that I was compos mentis throughout. Very much like the cut of new Captain Sam Warburton and the missed kicks are endemic for all fullbacks in matches so far...so there's something happening with the new ball they're using.CAP[UK]for FREE EXPERT DEBT &BUDGET HELP:

Horrid day again here but i have one lovely pleasure. I met Mark Cavendish!!!! He's just scrummy, with a fine pair of legs. My day needs nothing more. :-)
Love to all. X0 -
Beachbaby who he??What Would Bill Buchanan Do?0

He's a cyclist, hence the lovely legs! Nice to see you back in these parts. X0

Evening all. I hope everyone's well and no-one's blown away in the gales! :eek:
1) It's turned into not a bad evening after a thoroughly miserable start, although it's still very windy.
2) Cuddles with the mog when I got home - he doesn't much like windy weather, which is a problem in a cat who lives by the seaside.
3) Made a very OS meatball tagine for dinner, using up stale bread and some past-its-best veg, with a lazy sauce from an Approved Foods jar. :money:
4) Cooked up some rhubarb with ginger and a splash of whisky - experimental but delicious.
5) Picked another HG tomato - I've almost got enough for a portion now!
Have a pleasant evening, all.Back after a very long break!0 -
Evening all
1. Homemade yogurt for breakfast
2. This morning I cleaned the kitchen, bathroom, hoovered house and did the ironing. :cool:
3. Fry up for lunch. Very nice.
4. Toddler group started up again although it would have been nice if someone else had turned up to help run it! Got lots of cuddles from my friends 6 month old daughter and from her older brother.
5. Leftover chicken for tea.0 -
hello Peeps,
Hope you have all had a good day... it just flew by for me!
1) My lovely colleagues gave me a big bunch of flowers, a card and 3 cakes for my birthday as I am not in the office tomorrow
2) Took my own lunch in to work and though did experience lunch envy
3) Walked into town and bought my mum's birthday card
4) Chatted to my mum - the last few times we have talked I have been quite grumpy so it was nice to have a good chat
5) an facebook message from my uncle who I haven't seen/spoke to in about 20 years wishing me happy birthday.
Nighty night
LMan plans and God laughs...Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.0
