Linda,

Sorry to read about your Mum and Dad.
In some ways a good Nursing Home will give YOU peace of mind knowing that they are being cared for.
Hopefully they will get a double room and still be together.
A well run Home can give them a new lease of life. Loads of company and activities.
Make sure you check the suitability of the Homes being suggested. The Care Commission have reoprts on all Nursing Homes......contact them for information. There should be one fairly local to you.

Morning all
Stephen wearing all those clothes to keep warm. think the heating should go on instead. think of all that washing your have to do when you take that lot off. washing powder. electric etc. unless you do them in a dolly tub and dont heat the water LOL.

It is a bright day here so far, but we expect rain this afternoon. we did get that during the night.
now is the time to get the washing ready using rain water.

I am going to take a shower now. how I long for a bath but cannot get into or out of the bath. even though it is a low bath. my knees will not work.

Rita <3

Morning Stephen and all who rise later on Sundays
It was very rainy here through the night.
Dog needs taking for a walk
Must try to get some gardening done today before the recycling comes tomorrow
The party was a lovely gathering of the clans yesterday

Sad to say that my parents are being assesssed for nursing home care. Dad has kidney failure and Mum cannot look after herself so it is inevitable

Have a lovely day everyone no matter what you do

Linda :-) <3

Morning All !

Dark, damp and miserable. But I suppose Mrs Stephen will get better as the day goes on. :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Huia, That trip must have been great, I'm jealous. ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

This kind of weather is a real pain in the posterior, never know what it's going to be one day to the next. I've had to put the Central Heating on at times just to get rid of the damp in the atmosphere in the house. We don't usually have it on until it's at least -10C ROFL :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-|

Thermal Long Johns and vests, thick wooly trousers, two jumpers and a Polo Neck sweater, hat and gloves, two pair of socks and fur lined boots.
Wear that lot in the house and you will cut your heating bills dramatically. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I finished up doing some paperwork yesterday. I'm sure the Tax man OWES ME some money.......just need to wait and see now :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

Have a good day ya all !

Keep safe , keep well , keep smiling :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

hi Huia nice to tead that you had a nice time away
and did you forget this lot are in bed by bloody 9pm and up at the crack of down :-D

Hello all, if you are still here.

I came back from the Chatham Islands 3 days ago, spent most of the next day napping on the sofa! Lots of fresh (very) air and walking over there. I have been busy putting my photos onto the computer and I have to downsize the best so they dont take too long to load onto my blog. It will take ages to put them all on, or at least a selection of them. My avatar is of their forget-me-not.

Huia.

Evening All !

Just popping in to say goodnight .

Had my shower, had my supper , and so it's off to the land of nod for me :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Sweet dreams everyone :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

George what date in December my sister is 18th and my friend 28 and my Granddaughters OH is on Christmas day 25th.

Mo it is nice to know you saw the Grandchildren. I dont see all mine every month even. I see four at Christmas, the others I see when I go to my
daughter.during the year.

I watched SCD tonight Marilyn. I wonder who will be voted off tomorrow ?,

I saw some of Big Brother this afternoon I dont know why people like that. they are real show offs and their clothes hardly cover their bodies.
still I suppose it is a good thing we dont all like the same thing.lots of peo-ple watch it.

When Father papered the parlour, you couldn't see him for paste.
Slapping it here, slapping it there, paste and paper everywhere.............

Guess what we have been doing together.

Poor old K. has been climbing the ladders with his gammy leg, but the ceiling is done, the walls tomorrow.

Nah I didn't win the Lottery either, I wouldn't be on here if I did. You wouldn't see my bum for dust. lol

Hope everyone is well.

See ya later.
:-)

Good evening all. And how are we today
It sounds like George has been busy with his lady friends, and Stephen has been giving the nurses a wink with his good eye.
It's nice to hear that George is feeling better, and that Stephens eye is improving.

Marilyn make sure you close the blinds in the bathroom, Stephen can still see you, even from up in Scotland. He gets his binoculars out, every time you close the bathroom door. I know coz I have seen the sun reflecting off of them from here. I thought at one time that it could have been either of our other two gents on here, but Stevey has told us many a time that he's on look out duty, but I wasn't sure what he was looking for till recently. ;-) ;-) ;-)

We saw our great grandaughter for the third time since her birth today. I know it's a long time between visits, but her mummy is quite busy, and we don't like to intrude whilst she is getting herself into a routine with baby.
We also got to see baby Lilly, and her big brother and sister today. The eldest two idolise her,and are very good with her.
I have to admit it was nice to see her dressed properly for the colder weather,and when we went to the shops with them, she had a lovely warm coat and blanket wrapped round her. There are still so many young mums taking young babies out without a coat and blanket, just because the mum doesn't feel the chill in the air, so baby lays in the pram and has to suffer the cold, bless them.

Enough of my waffling, see you all later. love Mo

Hi All.

George ....you don't suppose them GIRLS will want to move in ...Do you ? LOL

Sounds like they have made a perfect home for you or them :-D :-D :-D

I think you'll have them making curtains in no time ....LOL just watch them GIRLS George we don't want you led astray...not yet anyway.

Just going to watch SCD as I like to see what the stars are wearing !

Marilyn,it wasn't me that won. I don't do Euro Millions. I rely on the office syndicate- something which I call the escape fund :-)
Stephen my sister has recently been on holiday to the Galapagos Island with her in-laws side of the family. I've seen loads of photos of strange birds and animals.
I've been watching an old Miss Marple film and tomorrow I'll start my packing. I've got to go to work on Monday :-P

Afternoon everyone,

Have just called it a day with the decorating today, had enough until Monday.
I will say without the help I have had I would never have been able to do so much, the couple of girls who have been helping have been brilliant.

Rita, LOL.. birthday not till December. only two days between me and the old boy.regarding birthdays, but quite a few years.. :-D :-D

Marilyn, thats what I am going to get next,.....some new curtains, so it will be off to Ikea for me :-D :-D :-D

Hope everyone is well and having a good day today.

George :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

OK Stevey....

Thats good...

Just let me know when you want the drapes made ..LOL :-D

I'm ironing :-S

Marilyn,

The Castle .....still on the go.....trying to overcome problems with the estate owners. :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-|

Thank you Linda Pauline emailed me to explain how to do it. I did that this morning with my first email lol.
it seems strange though reading downwards instead of upwards for messages. first come first served.

GR emailed me to tell me my subs were due . and I didnt have to do anything. I was pleased about that. 21st they are due ..

Stephen. looks like you won the Lotto then. if you had you would not be on here thats for sure, .you would be sitting with your Lady love writting lists of what to spend it on.

George wanted to look smart. Think he is having a party for his birthday lol.
hence the decorating. hope he has the fire brigade there when he does with all those candles on his cake.he wont have enough wind to blow them out.

Dermot has been on other threads and started a couple up.

I have been busy changed the wardrobes over winter things now in my bedroom the summer things in the small bedroom. even sorted a couple of drawers out.
I dont know what I stuck in my cup of tea to make me go all out for catching up on the jobs.that need doing. I thought of asking George but knew he would be too busy.


Rita
