I am afraid I have some very sad news. Norman passed away in the early hours of this morning, very peacefully. Although it was expected, it was a shock and it will take some time for me to get over it, so don't worry if I am not here very often. I will try to look in as often as I can though.
Love to all from Sylvia XX

Good Morning and a belated Happy New Year to everyone.
I just don't seem to find the time to visit the threads as much as I used to - I blame my GGgrandmother for that but with any luck I may soon be looking for someone else to blame!
I slept through the New Year but just woke up in time about 15 minutes after midnight to fire up the computer and await my little sister calling from the UK on Skype.
Well I must go - I'm busy making a gazpacho (cold soup) as the temperature here is forecast for the high 30s for the next week. (commiserations to all those in the northern hemisphere)

Best Wishes
Ian

happy new year to one and all from dorothy in barrie ontario it is a wee bit cool this morning -26 and that is not including the wind chill, I had an early new years eve I was tired after having the family over the day before for dinner I shall have to entertain more, so I went to bed at 8pm and slept through till 8-am when the two old cats just could not wait anymore for their breakfast, my family went ski-ing yesterday and then were having some other families over for the evening they had planned to all go tobogging but decided it was too cold as some of the young ones are quite young. I also wish for allof us much happiness and good health and good times with families and friends bye for now dorothy

Best wishes for a great 2009 and I do look forward to another year of

Good Evening Everyone, just a quick hello to wish you all a very happy peacefull new year. Special wishes to Sylvia!! Not going far tonight but spending time with family, which is really the nicest thing to do.. Lots of Love xx

Happy New Year everyone, may it be full of good health, happiness and laughter. Funny how we never wish for money? or riches?

I have been ordering fabric from the States over the interent and am totally impressed with the designs, quality and service. Now my aprons will be really unique.

Rained heavily last evening and then had the cheek to dip down to minus 3.....sheet of ice on our patio and front walk. Norm just went out in his jammies to salt it so that the mailman does break a leg!!

We will be quiet tonite, just us two. Norm got us another wee bottle of champers....this is becoming a habit!!

Good to see you are OK Sylvia even if the news is not great. If you pm'd me your phone umber we could have a chat?

Love to all. Stay safe tonite.

I should have said I wilsh all the Canucks International a Happy New Year, would not want Badger, Mary and Sylvia to think I missed them out, or others not from Canada who pop in from time to time -Ian where are you?. I only found out recently that you and Edith are rellies -as VP would say, how coll is that!

Sylvia, big hugs to you and for Norm, a difficult time for you. One thing the Dr seems to be giving good care. I hope that you are being cared for too

It was a great chat with VP, we laughed as only Canucks and Wattlers do :)
When do you leave Fred?
~~~~~~~~~to all

Hi! Fred. I hope you and Liz will enjoy your meal tonight. It's ages since I had a meal out, but when Norman was fit a few years ago, we always went out on New Years Eve and had a marvelous time so I have lots of good memories to keep me going.
I can remember the snow and ice in England and I used to hate it. It has been 39 degrees Centigrade here today which is very hot, but I believe it is going to be even hotter tomorrow. I quite like the heat and we have Air conditioning so it's not too bad and the car is air conditioned too.
Once again, I hope you will have a very happy New Year.
Love to all from Sylvia XX

Morning peoples,and a special Hello to our Sylvia,who is still having a bit of a rough time of things.
I'm afraid you have to prepare yourself about norm',old friend,he is slipping away now,but be thankful in that he is in no pain,and his passing over should be a peaceful one,and i'm sure ,when the time comes we will all be here for you.
Yes Mary ,seems the british butchers lost the plot shortly after the last war,witjh the beef ,and even the bacon ,now it is all best back and middle bacon that is cured in the old way,all the rest showing how idle our meat trade has become over the last forty years.
I like the old ways ,where you could keep bacon as a slab ,hung on a hook in the larder where it would sit quite happily for weeks before going rancid.
Hey Ho ,not to worry ,i am doing my own now ,so to heck with the lot of them he ,he.
Liz and i are having a quiet day ,but we are going to Solomans this evening for a couple of hours ,with the son and partner,the wifes first indian meal.
The place though is the best around ,waiter service and everything cooked as it is ordered,no warming plates in this establishment ,lol.
Think tomorrow it will be a lowly chuck,because we are on our own all day,aprt from the cat that is lol.
Hissy is now an honorary cling on to me ,i can't even go for a wash and shave without the pest sitting outside the door mewing till i come out,and she follows me everywhere,even checking on my whereabouts while outside by peeking through the windows ,but,i must admit ,i like it ,she is such a darling ,and i would be lost without her .
I look forward to her on my knees in the evenings,and fret iof she stays out late,and dosn't come in for her tea.
We were supposed to have a hard frfost here last night ,but it didn't happen,so ,i will take the wife out for a little shopping later ,because it's a lot easier when yuo don't have to scrape the windscreen down.
I never use deicers on the car ,they rot the windscreen wipers and window rubbers very quickly,and if the weather is really bad i use the electric winscreen heater that start as soon as you start the engine,hence ,no need to wait until the engine warms up enough to give heat,i can be ice free in three minutes and be on the road in four.
Have to go now ,and rty my new suit to make sure it still fits okay after the last weeks meals and goodies,no good waiting until i get to Cyprus ,is it?,see you later peeps,have a good ,peaceful and quiet as you like new year.
Fred.
