Have found that these hot flushes I am getting again are sending my blood sugars haywire! Have to keep altering my injection amounts. A d-------nuisance.
Been cold all day today, my legs are freezing, well you know what I mean.

Bonsoir Mon Amis

Jean, I put the central heating on, my right knee is killing me today,all this damp cold weather not good for dodgy knees. lol Unfortunately tonight when in bed the bedroom will be too hot so will be slinging the duvet off on off on all bloomin night. (I wont have a window open for fear of what comes in i.e. creepy crawlies).

Dodgy knees!!!!!! Mine click when I walk lolINEED TO LOOSE WEIGHT
I have the bed to myself tonight as OH is away.Bliss ,I can kick my legs ,turf the duvet off,huff and puff ,snore etc.What else could I ask for.!!!!!!!

Bon Nuit Tina .Parlez vous Francais?

Je comprehend un peu le Francais!

No, not really lol

I have a French language course upstairs in the back bedroom collecting dust - in cassette tape form - goes to show how long i have had it. I am my own worst enemy, a perfectionist and therefore if I cannot do anything to perfection give up!

As to my right knee, it goes out of line and therefore painful. I need a new knee but am too young! Last time GP said if I did not rest leg he would be forced to have leg put in plaster of paris, therefore making me rest!!! I was a good girl and rested it! lol

I had logged off just now but remembered my bus pass runs out tomorrow and therefore have put up a thread about it. PMSL

I have my own bedroom, OH and I dont share bedroom anymore - sheer bliss!

Oh my,
I never did learn a language,
Although my parents had a french boy as an exchange with my brother when we were small .
And he ruined our household, will never forget it.
He ate all the strawberries that my mother had in the larder and my sister and I got the blame . he would not own up.
We were smacked and sent to bed......So I went off the liking anything about
France...!!
Off to bed now so I'll say goodnight for now.

Morning girls, going to bed soon as had a busy shift...have got my mammogram today at 2.45pm...not worried if it hurts, but it's only natural to worry and hope that all is okay.

Speak later ladies...I'm knackered!!!!!!

Pam.xx ☺

I'm fluent in bad language!! ☺

Sleep well Pam
And I hope all goes well with the Mammogram
see you later.

Morning Pam,

Sleep well.

Good luck with your mammogram. Had one done before I was 50 - did not hurt my left boob, but felt a bit "tight" on my right - everything was all okay which was good cos I was having pains in the right boob for months hence the early mammogram.

Oh Marilyn what a horrible little boy - I can understand why you have gone off anything French!

I have always wanted to speak another language I hate it that English is the language everybody learns. Makes us lazy really not to learn another language.

Funnily enough, I have always liked French things and have always wanted to learn French. It was not until I started family tree research and found my ancestors may have originally come from France - weird or what!

Have a good day folks. Must hurry and go to work!

Hi Everyone,

Pam good luck.....today.

Tina, my family are Huguenots, but a long way back......Thank god !!

I'm having a very lazy day today doing ZERO. !!

But I bet something will come along and spoil it .

Morning ladies
Struggled with French at school which was taught by a scottish Teacher her name was Miss Lemon. but I loved her she was a real peach to me LOL!!
OH has learned to speak Italian so at least one of us can communicate to SIL parents, and OH spends a lot of time over in Germany through work so he can also hold his own in that lanuage too
Me I'm really slow but can pick up a few words here and there.

Morning All,

Well I slept like a log last night for a change. We lay in bed watching Embarrassing Bodies (not our own) and I kept half nodding off, then OH would lean over to see if I was asleep and I would wake up thinking the mad axeman had arrived with him peering at me in the half light!! Wonder I slept at all really!!! lol.

I can only speak schoolgirl french that I can remember and a bit from phrase books. Because I thought I would need to use it a lot , I have always remembered Je suis desolee (should be an accent but non on my keyboard)......'.I am sorry!! '

Just remembered,

My father in law was an expert in Esperanto and translated a whole book .

He also spoke Chinese and wrote it in the most beautiful handwriting , I have still got some of his Chinese writings for keepsake.
He was a brilliant man....and guess what he died of ......
Alzheimer's and suffered so much , Just so sad to see this brilliant man going through this disease was tragic .

Anyway he's at peace now.......sorry to bring down the tempo down a bit.
back to my family tree !!!

What a clever FIL Marilyn.Life is so cruel sometimes and when Alzheimers affects very talented people it somehow seems worse.I know it's not as Mum had it .It is just awful for everyone.
I did French and Latin at school and I enjoyed Latin more than French.But I do wish I had stuck with French as we often go to France on holiday and it would be nice to be able to converse with the locals lol.

How sad, Marilyn. He must have been a very clever man, 2 difficult subjects. I think chinese writing is fascinating, always looks so complex. I had a phase of collecting all sorts of chinese things years ago......still have a 'dragon' rug somewhere and have kept a handpainted little cabinet with birds and flowers on it.

Good Luck this afternoon Pam.Hope you don't get bruised boobs.Only kidding lol.

Actually, those mammogram plates are squashed together rather hard sometimes.....you look down and wonder if everything will go back when you are 'released' Hope you get on ok Pam and don't have to stand on your toes like I do!!

Hi ladies, just a quick hello and then goodbye as got to have my tea.

Went okay thanks with mammogram, first one so didn't know what to expect, but all went fine and I didn't find it to bad...big bust maybe helps!

Back tomoprrow evening for a good old catch up!!

Pam.xxx

I understood all that (I think) Hello my friends , I spoke French at school but now I don't speak French I speak Double Dutch
Am I right ????
