Good news - just heard from Julia, she has been unwell for one reason and another but is OK now. Has had trouble with and changed supplier, in the meantime her subs to GR ran out but she has been reading the postings on the thread and is surprised and grateful for the concern showed by everyone. Hopes to be back soon.

I am so glad, I am on a high, I really feared the worst.

Hello folks, Sorry I got your nickers in a knot , I too was suprised when I saw the Zack at the side I vaguely remember changing it but because I havent had the time to post lately I had forgotten about it.

I have read the post on Julia it is good to know she is ok and will be back soon.
I visited the Physio to-day she said that if the leg is no better when I go to her on friday she is going to contact the doctor.I think it is slightly better as I have managed to get some sleep the last few nights.

We have had heavy rain again also in Victoria some of the rivers on the southeast coast are in flood.

Well not long now till the BIG wedding are you looking forward to it ?
William was very well received by the people in the flooded area's of QLD & NSW, I have seen so much Tv in the past few weeks I am sick of it,, it will be so good to be able to get out and about when ever that happens.

Thank you all for thinking of me.
I am being taken to a concert to-morrow by friends we are going to hearJulie Anthony & Simon Gallaher 2 wonderful Australian singers the concert is called MOMENTS to REMEMBER It is a special Senior's Week Performance.
I will let you know all about it to-morrow, the concert is at 11 am 23rd March.
I will say good night ,
See Ya all Mates,
Marie

Yes, I saw a few days ago that Julia is safe. I hope that she gets well soon and also her PC and membership are fixed so that she can rejoin us.

Now all we need to know is where is Tess and is she OK?

Morning all, just a quickie we are off out for the day, just wanted to thank you all for your kind wishes and thoughts , its been a bit of a b****r of late, two days now with only slight dizziness, although I still have to be careful how I move about, bed time is better too.there is always a hint of headache , but we tried the remedy Marie shared with me and I am going to believe that it helped, strange though card making is no problem, but my head is usually still and I dont need to turn much,
hope you are all keeping well best that we can be... thanks Caz for keeping everyone updated for me...I hope I can come on a bit more now we will have to see how it goes...time to go see you all later.

Love Jean xxx p.s. Mo the flowers are still looking good.....

Well it has been a lovely day here so I hope that you had a good day too Jean and took some photos. we have been quite busy. After washing sheets and line drying them, then I walked round for the papers and post. Next we went to the local garden centre for compost for pots and a cup of coffee. After lunch I spent 2 hours in the garden and OH spent 3 hours out there. It is looking good but we still need to spend more time out there. Back aches now but it is very satisfying to see that we have made a great difference. We'll just get it looking right then we'll be off again Lol!! But better than being away for the whole month of May.

Oooh it's soo good to see you posting again Jean, we have missed you love.
You have been in our prayers, along with Marie, Caz and Joyce.
Please try not to overdo things,and good luck for tomorrow when you see the specialist about it.
I am pleased that the flowers are still looking good. Mine lasted till last Sunday, and have now gone to the big garden in the sky.

Ann, like you, I have spent quite a time in the garden this afternoon. The roses are now pruned back, and all the shrubs are looking better for a good haircut.
The weeds have got their own space in the wheelie bin, along with the food scraps.
Tomorrow I hope to get all the bedding washed and dried, as it's supposed to be another lovely day.

Marie, I don't think many people in this country, are really that bothered about the royal wedding.
I dare say, that if it is televised,a lot of us will watch it, but to be honest, I am not bothered.
But I am still waiting for my invitation, they must have forgotten to send it out with the last post. LOL
When Prince Charles married Diana, and when the Queen celebrated her
Silver Jubilee, in 1977, I was really into it, and we had a street party,with the children dancing up and down the road, much fun and jollity was had by all. The food and drinks was prepared by all us mums.Games were played, like musical chairs, pass the parcel etc. In the evening, when the children were worn out, the adults partook of a drink or two,sitting in our front gardens, keeping an ear open for the children upstairs in their beds.
But now with all the new rules about Health and Safety, not many street parties will be held. There are so many rules that have to upheld, and insurances to cover all eventualities.
It will be a wonder if anyone actually does hold a street party, it's more likely that parties will be held behind closed doors.
I'm a real party pooper arn't I . LOL
Other countries tend to take more of an interest in our royalty, than we do ourselves.

Sylvia, it was great to read that Julia is o.k.. It is a worry when someone goes missing, and no one has any idea what has happened to them.
Even more so, when there is no warning that they are going. And then we fear the worst don't we.

Love to one and all. Mo xxx

Mo, Mo, Do take notice, I go to have the MRI on the 4th of April.....

love Jean xxxxxxx

Jean what am I like, for goodness sake. I think I am trying to get your appointment put forwards for you.
I wouldn't mind, but I have written it down on my calendar as well to remind myself. Slap slap.....wake yourself up woman. lol
Love to you both Mo xxx

What is she like Jean, another senior moment Mo. And she had me going to Abergavenny when i am in Tenerife (where we will escape the Royal Wedding hype.)

O.k, o.k ,I know Ann, I think I need my marbles sorting. It was a C.R.A.F.T moment. Cant Remember A Flippin Thing. LOL

Ought to be on the blog then Mo!! (craft).


Is Sallie still away? I think she was going somewhere at the weekend or am I wrong. If she is not away I hope she is OK.

I know she was going to the records office last Friday Ann, and to see her brother, so lets hope she is o.k. Her last post was on the 16th March oh dear now I am getting concerned, will p.m her tomorrow if we dont hear from her in the mean time.
Of to my bed now, night night god bless. love Mo xx

Right, that will be her brother in Wales so she is maybe not home yet so don't worry Mo.

Hi Girls,

Here I am, I've had a busy week, with visiting, card making and trying to get a few jobs done about the house. I hope everyone is alright, nice to see Jean and Marie back on here...although I did get confused with "our new friend,Zack". Well done Marie you had us all foxedlolol!!

I'm off to do the usual weekly shop now, so I'll see you all later on. Just wanted to lt you know that all is okay here.

Love, Sallie.xxx

Glad you are OK Sallie. I guess you saw the message about Julia did you?

Thank goodness that you have popped in Sallie, and that you are o.k.
Speak to you all later this evening. Love Mo xxx

Hi everyone, I've just spent HOURS reading all the latest posts (pages and pages) I hadn't realised that it was so long since I last posted on this thread.

Just had my usual (very) low energy, plus poor concentration and nausea + + + when I have tried reading my computer screen.
Thank goodness Julia has been found! I was getting worried while I was reading about her.

Had my two younger grandsons 9A = E aged six and seven) here during half-term week. I loved having them here (and did have some help from their Dad, my son) but it rater knocked me for six.

Hope to have a washing post and line put up in my back garden on Monday, so might actually be able to hang my washiung out to dry next week.

Sorry to hear about all the illness that some of your have, it really puts my problems in the shade.

Will try to get back to this thread at least once a week from now on.

Take care everyone,
Tess

Helloooo there Tess, it's so good to hear from you again.
Sorry to hear that you are still not feeling to good, but heres hoping that this nice weather may help you.

Grandchildren can be very very tiring can't they, as much as we may love them, they have far more energy than we have, and trying to keep them entertained is a job in itself.

We are very lucky, to have a high clothes line, that catches the wind and dries the clothes very quickly.

Take care of yourself, and come back and see us soon. Love Mo xxx

Hi Ladies,

Back again, and with a good job done for another week. Thank goodness.
The older I'm getting, the more I dislike doing the weekly shopping.....it's just knowing what to get for a change, and of course the prices don't help either.


We had just got in from shopping tonight ,when Joyce rang me, both her Jan are not very well at all......Joyce has gout in her foot and Jan has pneumonia. So between them both they are in a sorry state. I hope that they will both get well soon.


Ann, yes I had read about Julia, I hope it won't be too long before she comes back. At least it's nice to know that she's alright now, after being poorly for a while.

I've made quite a few cards that Alun has taken photos of , so as soon as I can I'll get him to put them on your blog....it that's okay.



Marie, hope you'll enjoy the concert and have a good evening out. Also hope that your leg will be better when you go for physio on Friday so that you don't have to see the doctor. Pleased that you are now managing to get some sleep at night, so it looks as though you are slowly getting there.



Caz, hope that things are a lot easier and more comfortable for you. I'm not sure when you said you are at the hospital next......hope it all goes well for you.



Jean glad to hear that your vertigo hasn't been too bad over the last few days.....it's good that you are still able to make cards.
Hope all is well with J and D.



Mo, it can't be long now before your great-grandchild is due. How is your new granddaughter? I bet she's coming on in leaps and bounds.

Did your team win on Monday night? I hope they did. It would be nice if your team won the trophy this year.



Tess, lovely to see you on here again. I bet you are tired after having your grandchildren during their half term. Still it's nice to have them to stay,I'm sure.



Sylvia, hope you and OH are okay. Have you seen the doctor about your back yet? I hope you have and that he has been able to give you some different medication for the pain.



Huia, it sounds as though you were busy at hospice shop, with you being the only one to run it,

Hope all is well as it can be with Phil and that he was awake and alert when you last visited him.



We had a very good week away, although we did a lot of travelling between here and London and then here and Wales. Still, it was lovely to see the family, so worth it all.
It was a bonus that the weather was good for us, lovely to have it bright and dry.

We also found some information at the Records Office that we were looking for, in fact a little bit more than we thought we would, so we were happy about that.


Well I'll say goodnight now, speak to you all, tomorrow.


Love and best wishes.


Sallie.xxx

Hello, Tess, I dont know if we have 'spoken' before.

I have had a busy morning. I had to go and pick the ripest of my figs as the rotten little silvereyes were getting at them. The fruit and leaves are all at the end of high branches but I managed to pull the branches down without breaking them so I could reach the fruit. I love figs. I am wondering if I can prune the branches back to make the tree lower for easy picking. I might prune a couple of branches and see what happens, but not today or tomorrow.

I did another big wash after picking the figs, since I had my second treatment for scabies yesterday. I havent washed everything yet but will do more tomorrow. I also want to vaccuum the mattress before I make the bed again. Perhaps when it has been vaccuumed I can put the electric blanket on high for a couple of hours before I put the sheets on, as heat helps to kill off the scabies mite. I do feel as if this latest treatment might be working at getting rid of them from my body, so I dont want to pick them up again from anything in the house - or from holding hands with Phil :((( I must ask the nurse at his home if he has been checked for scabies lately.

Must go and vaccuum the bed before I have lunch.

Huia.
