'supporting each other through really tough times'

mcculloch29

Thank you all for the lovely comments about Angrove Rumbaba, Rummy. Yes, he is a boy, so beautiful but full of character. He's a biter, unfortunately, so I've only ever been able to give him a quick pat and ear-rub.
We're all hoping he grows out of it, his full brother (now a stud horse) did.
I would like to go and watch him race but will see more at home, it's Catch 22. On the preview of the Inside Out programme you could hear his owners yelling for him so that should be interesting! I never wanted to have an interest in a National Hunt horse (jumps) only the flat, as NH horses are so prone to injury and setbacks. Then I saw Rummy online and was in love.

His jockey is a lovely girl and very talented too, so no worries on that score.

Edit: Yippee for Bess!!

What lovely posts there have been.

Fuddle: Christmas and a new house. Do you think anyone will worry what they are eating from. I feel really excited for you. Get your priorities right. Christmas decorations are much more important than blinds and tables.
I'm not really a jewellery sort of person but I wear my Mum's wedding ring and my Gran's wedding ring. I hope that one day one of my granddaughters will be wearing her grandmother's, greatgrandmother's and greatgreatgrandmother's rings.
I do understand about wanting to have the same surname as your children. That's the only reason I wouldn't go back to my maiden name when I divorced fishface. And it's lovely to share my name now with grandchildren.

Shegar: Happy birthday. Thanks for sharing how you got your name. I often wonder where people's monnikers come from.
'Monna' is the nearest my darling autistic grandson can get to 'Grandma' and as I'm so proud to be his Gran, I'm 'Monnagran'.
Anyone else got an interesting story?

Mcculloch: What a glorious horse! I like horses from a distance but I had a lodger once who was a jump jockey so I got to know a lot more about them. Lovely lad he was, he's training horses in New Zealand now.

Well, nothing out of the ordinary going on here today. Things may change tomorrow when the Rev goes into hospital to have her tendons scraped and some arthritic bone sawn off her shoulder. It's going to be quiet here for a few days - hopefully.

Fuddle - a butterfly table would be great for you, folds really small, 4 chairs fit inside. I used to have one as a standby table when we had extra guests.

I finished my Christmas shopping today :j. All presents are now brought or ordered, turkey is ordered for collection, beef is in the freezer, puds are in the freezer and all I need is fresh veg nearer the time.

Yay!

(still got pressies to make but I have all the stuff, just need to crack on)

I can recommend AIdi giant chocolate buttons.....they're lovely and I'm not sharing...I thought they were a bit ambitious having a resealable tab on the pack....I mean, as if!!!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oh thanks for that. I'm sure I've had some of those customers. I thought it was just my local authority call centre.............:rotfl:The ones we treasure are the calls each autumn to complain that the leaves are falling off the trees and they do it every year..............!

Been having a quietish day. No mayhem currently being practised at Shoebox Towers although someone was making a creditable attempt to kick someone's door through last night.

I decided someone else could call 999 this time.

A few years back, I was startled out of my mid-evening stupour by a terrible pounding without, as Shakespeare might not have phrased it. So stuck my nose around the curtain and saw a group of men busily breaking down a door.

Cue 999 call. Identified address which was being pounded in to the control centre.

<<<clickety clickety keyboard>>> Yes, we're having a few calls about that right now. <<< more clicketies>>> Errm, actually, its Us breaking that door down.:o:p

Thank you and goodnight from GQ, sorry to have rung. Well, if they're going about mob-handed in plainclothes, what's the public supposed to think?!

Oh, and I've had my quarterly futility bill and the cooker gas consumption is down by 50% to 60p a week and the elastictrickery is down slightly to £4.47, the vast majority of which is prolly the pooter.

But I don't buy newspapers or magazines, so it's cheap if you look at it like that.

Gonna get my tea, now. Have a good evening, GQ xx

Possession

Mine is my name that my late OH used to call me long before Mrs Onassis snaffled it (she was Mrs Kennedy when I got married in 1962) sadly not for too long as she was widowed in the November of that year.
