BoP - amidst all this travel, where are the photos? The Live Scrabble?

It was only about 4 miles into Hertfordshire! Not that far!


5 Good yesterday to listen to the old stories, and watch fly pass, the guard. There will not be another event as the few, are fewer still. Their mission nearly over,


4 Morning was the usual Snorker, bacon, with poached egg, toast, mushrooms and toms. Rubs tum and licks finger. Tea was also served.


3 Did crossword in record time again, and BoPsie tried to shoulder as she did hers. I put a word in wrong, but BoPsie copied and !!! The rest is good for you.


2 Just doing the ham butties for lunch, with strawberries and ice cream as well. Soup readied with butties for tomorrow as well.


1 You need not bear malice because of your friend's cries of delirium and gestures of agony. You must not add to his pain; you must work for his recovery. wc

Good morning , it's ever so early on Sunday morning, it's 2o outside and I'm probably going to have to scrape my car windscreen! Day 3 of work lies ahead.

Pleasures for last 2 days?
Hmmm, work has been okay.
Hot chocolate in front of a log fire was even nicer.
Daffodils popping up in gardens.
The fabulous news that a friend recently diagnosed with cancer received on Friday made me so happy.

Right I'd better go and do some work!

DforV, thank you. I know you are right, but it is a hard thing to accept. Still we move on to a new phase...
OT - love powis castle. OH and I were there only a few weeks ago

Last day in Corsica. A week isn't enough. Three of us are off on the overnight ferry to mainland France tomorrow night. DD is flying home - her choice

Pleasures for the last couple
1 a trip into the mountains yesterday. Went canoeing on a lake and it had the audacity to rain on us :eek: was beautiful nonetheless
2 lovely lunch by the lakeside
3 a seaside day today - OH and I went browsing in the local resort and stopped for coffee, then the four of us went for a delicious lunch where DD and I had Moules frites and then a couple of hours on the beach followed by a night on our terrace overlooking the sea. I will miss this view
4 the children getting on - they don't generally interact much at all so it is nice to see some common ground between them
5 DD going topless on the beach. She is a bigger girl and hasn't always been confident enough, but today she said "balls to it" and did it
6 boosting a widowed friend who has gne on the holiday she and her late OH promised themselves for his 65th birthday, which would have been today. She has gone anyway and I am so proud of her - for all its faults Facebook is a wonderful thing in that ther are loads of us supporting her on her hols
7 my nephew who is doing some wonderful work wth people with dementia and their families. My mum would have been so proud of him so I told him so,

Have a great Sunday all.

Frith

Busy day today!


1) A bit of a lie in.


2) When smaller son was in hospital (in resus!), one of the nurses was talking about the lack of autism support in the area for her child. I made a mental note of her name and wrote to her with lots of phone numbers that might be useful and had a lovely email back from her today.


3) Had a grant towards a holiday for smaller son (one of the numbers I sent to the nurse!)


4) Went swimming with sons and my brother.


5) Saw some peregrine falcons nesting just up the hill from the swimming pool (pool belongs to a local boarding school so all parkland around it). Walked up the hill and got to see a plane in the distance doing loop the loops! Presume it was flying above a local fete or show.


6) Went to show dad our newer car, purchased yesterday.


7) Went on the allotment and picked lots of peas.


8) Smaller son deteriorated as the day went on so spent the afternoon in hospital. :-/ They were surprised it was not a repeat of kidney problems (a sample sent off as they could barely believe it!) and seems it is just a virus.


9) Cheating tea after a long wait in hospital so just pizzas.


10) Watched Casualty.


11) Just got off the phone to my friend. As I put the phone down, noticed the call had been 1 hour 55!

WOT no marmite BoP !

VJsmum sounds like a lovely holiday

Frith sorry to hear about smaller son's visit to hospital again. Well done you helping the nurse, sometimes its so hard finding information on the net. How are you with computers ? Could you maybe start a website to collate all the austism help in your area - or is there a local website already that needs some suggestions to improve their ease of access ?

Pleasures for Saturday

1. DS has gone on holiday with gf. No waking me up getting up at stupid oclock for overtime/police shift etc ..... so a lie in for me until 11.45 am :eek: I obviously needed the sleep

2. tidied my bedroom

3 managed 2 loads of washing and all line dried in the afternoon

4. walked to the shop for basics - milk, salad etc and then round the local pond. Feet are only mildly swollen today in the heat

I am going to eat from freezer/stores this week and save some money. Our local store is a co-op and usually expensive but they have now got reasonable prices on their salad. Saved more in petrol than any extra pennies spent

5. waited until 7pm in the cool evening then weeded the forecourt at the front of the house, cut the grass in the back garden and had a good sweep up. Looks much tidier and all outdoor jobs done as its forecast rain on sunday

So its now sunday morning and it looks like its been raining overnight but the sun is shining at the moment so I am going to stick some washing on .... is it just me or does this washing mountain never go away

Have a good sunday everyone x

Sunday pleasures

1. managed to remove mould from the bathroom ceiling with some bleach and elbow grease

2. rain stopped me doing any washing but at least the car is clean

3. feet up reading a book all afternoon

4. NSD/NPD

5. roast chicken for tea and lots of leftovers to make meals/lunches next week

Frith

Pleasures for yesterday:

1) A lie in.

2) Found two very local geocaches. On the way back, drove past a colleague of mine from years ago. We had worked together for 10 years and I had been given various reports of where he had retired to but certainly not local! Was strange to chat to him again.

3) Smaller son got better again, after his afternoon in hospital.

4) Made a huge roast dinner with all the trimmings. Most of the work done by bigger son!

5) Went swimming with sons and my brother.

6) Watched Humans.

All right E. This week, a tad further south, about 12 miles out of SparraShire. Happies to all, including ones in and out of the ward. Jenny sends :heartpuls

5 Meanwhile, in the Deep South, the bed this week has a dual talking wall. Think there are on demolition job. No problem. Found seat away from it. No wait,mothers are troops involved. And some kind of rally. Not be back.

4 Nice crimped car of, Germanic origin this morn. Occupant was stood by. One less to worry about. BoP does drive without conviction.

3 Taliking wall is beeping. I am sorry but I do not sit in a room where profanity, either by others or on a indolent talking wall is trilling the air. Poor show this hotel. Not be back.

2 day got test plan approved! Kerching.

Nationalism was the major cause of genocide in the twentieth century. Flags are but pieces of torn cloth that are used to shrink warp people's minds, only to use as ceremonial shrouds to bury the enslaved.

Sorry, bin tiring to get this link here. Bulls.

If you have five minutes, look for Stan Hartill video, a rigger, bless him someone had too!, not about BoB75. But Normandy. Brings it home. BoP ex greenie Aircraft Electrican. Oh, still is!

Thank you for all yours.
1. OK not exactly OS, but playing with my new Android tablet that I was sent by a seller to review.
2. A lovely day yesterday at a christening, making new friends and spending time with old ones. The ceremony was in a lovely 17th C. church, High Church but not overly formal. Just right in fact, with enough informality to relax us and enough formality to maintain the nature of the ritual.
3. Declutter of various useful objects not being fully used by me now being well used by others.
4. Prospect of mammoth declutter when Dr C. moves out draws closer. Yay!!
5. My various little bargains that made a gift bag for the baby. Four of the items bought at up to half price. Result.
