Welcome home Our GinN

Hi Jem

Hi Fly

How is your grandson Jem

He's not too bad Fly thanks. It's still the virusy thing we had that seems to be bothering him the most!

How's Dad today?

Thanks Jem

It's not easy being norty you know, Fly

Dad is a lot brighter thanks Jem

Is grandsons girlfriend still around

I dont know GiN you make it look easy

Yes, Fly, he's out with her now! One of his best friends is now going out with her best friend and they have made a pact to all stay friends if either couple break up.

Easier said than done though!

She's lovely little thing!

How's things up in Yorkshire?


and Norfolk?

I work hard at it, Fly

Sometimes I get this terrible urge to be sensible ............ then sanity kicks in again

Things are fine here Jem how about your end

Sensible GiN whats that

Norfolk is fine, Jem When you come back from holiday you expect something to have changed for some reason, but you find it's the same old thing!

Goodnight all - going to watch a bit of telly now

@ GinN

OH had a Victor Meldrew moment yesterday.. very embarrassing

We are a family (my side) that are not good visitors!

I came back from doing the weekly shop yesterday. OH came out and said- " I think I've boo booed".....

.....We have a Privet hedge that has got out of control, and we had been discussing about getting one of my nephews (he's a professional gardener) in to take about 6 foot off the height.

OH was sitting out our back, and a young man came around with his wife and little boy.

Oh, said OH! Jem is out shopping! she'll be gutted she missed you!
I was going to ring you to ask you to cut our hedge. Ok said the visitor, I won't be able to as I've broken my hand, but my mate will do it.

The visitor said to OH. I haven't seen Jem since the wedding!
He measured up the hedge, made a phone call and arranged to come back today!

OH put " gardener nephew's" phone number into his phone.

Afterwards, he realised that this nephew was not at the wedding that had been referred to, and he had no idea who this visitor was!

Well, it WAS a nephew. My oldest brother's son, who hasn't visited me since he was a child. And not a gardener, and was a bit bemused, but hey!.. he went with the flow!

Of course, the penny dropped, and I phoned and explained to their amusement!

They still came. Poor nephew ended up having to cut the hedge with clippers with his broken hand as the chainsaws kept cutting out!

VERY EMBARRASSING!

But I had a lovely time with him and his lovely wife and toddler!
