I do hope you don't get the cold!



Persie ........... that photo is my mother and her mother, about 1930, Scarborough, on the Yorkshire coast.

My mother was a very fashionable lady, right up to the day she died in 1961!



take care everyone

Evening all,

Love the picture Cath (have you changed your name from catherine? do you prefer Cath?)

yesterday Aus had Mothers' Day.

all in all it was pretty good for me. Not!
I was told that I didnt need to make a cooked meal.
Lets just have toasted sandwiches instead.
"well what is cooking ?" I asked.
so I still had to get the lunch ready!

No phone call from Son1 in Maine. I guess they dont have Mothers day there so he didnt get reminded.
Then I had a phone call from sil who rang because she thought I might be sad and remembering my own Mother who passed away
2007. well I wasnt upset about that, until she rang.

So enough whinging from me

you all take care

Hi moonbi

oh dear!


(((xxx)))



it was Mother's Day over here as well


....... daughter got OH to buy me a bouquet of flowers, because they had been ill all week (with colds) and alsot with trying to keep on top of burgeoning work.


OH never does do anything for me on Mother's Day ...... he says that I am not his mother!


Having said that ............... he does well over 50% of the cooking, and always does the weekend meals, including a roast dinner on Sunday


Tonight, he's doing roast lamb.

I am SO jealous

oh dear


I'm sorry

Hello All,
It is very cold here in Bathurst we have had 4 days of heavy frosts , it has wiped out all the summer veggies.
I have been laid low over the past 10 days with a virus, lot's of coughing and sputum to get rid of, the tempreture has gone, so I am hoping for better day's ahead.
Mother's Day in Australia also.
The family (meaning my Daughters Barbara and Kathleen had planned a brunch at our tea & coffee shop, but I was not well enough to go, however they bought me a nice coffee and a lovely slice home, then presented me with a Black Boy tree, for my native garden. I was thrilled , as I now will have a pair at the entrance to my Native area.( they are very expensive to buy)
I received a card from my Daughter in Foster Tuncurry and it arrived on the friday before mother's day (-suprise it is usually late.) she also rang me which was nice.
Sean & Ryan phoned me, nothing from Michael, zero Xmas & Mother's day /Birthday last year.
Breaks my heart that he cant even ring me, I dont expect a present but a card or phone call would be nice,he lives so far away, I used to go and visit, but my car would not be up to the trip now.
Enough of the feeling down.

It is rather overcast to-day but I must try and make an effort and transplant some of my seedling's.
I hope you are all well.
I like the Pic's on the side very nice I will have to find something to put up.I also like the research thingy at the bottom.
Kindest Regards to you all
Marie.

Hi Marie


glad that you got at least a little treat.

and that you were given a Black Boy. I love those! But we were told in no unknown certain terms by a WA person back in 2006 (when we were last down there) that we weren't to use that name! Pity if so, 'cos it seems to fit the plant!!



I'm sorry that Michael did not contact you. Where does he live?


This bug, whatever it is, is a devil, isn't it?! I'm on the upswing now, but am still tight chested, and coughing.


Take care

you dont have to be sorry; its not your problem. I'll just have to deal with it. so thanks for your cyber hugs.
The photo of your fashionable mum, reminded me of a lady my daughter nurses. She is 91 yrs and had her teeth whitened last week. and she wears lipstick all the time, day and night.!

Marie, I hope the cold snap hasnt hurt your new blackboy.
We had a few of those when I grew up in Hervey Bay, and I saw some before Easter here in the nursery, but didnt dare try. I thought they would die in the frost. of which we have not had any yet.

the wind from the south is very chilly today, and leaves are blowing everywhere.
Men have gone to get a load of wood.
Grandson is feeling much better today and has gone back to school. This morning he said "I dont like school that much, i like to stay home"
His mother on 4 overnight shifts this week. she is not impressed. but for the money to pay her uni debts she wouldnt do nights.
:-)

Morning all from a sunny Guernsey. :D
Ann I do prefer Cath or Kate as my OH calls me. My mother is the only one who calls me Catherine and usually when I've done or said something she disagrees with, lol. The witch is appropriate as from time to time I have been referred to as "the old witch". Witch , maybe, but OLD!!! :-(

Hope Marie and Sylvia are feeling better.

<3

Cath xx

Cath Lol!!! I am sure you are not a witch.

It is a sunny morning here, OH has gone to golf and I have a load of washing in, then I hope to go into town.

Marie, it must be hurtful not to hear from your son. do you hear from him at all or is it just cards and presents he is negligent with? I hope the virus clears up for you soon, it is hanging on a bit now.
Sylvia, glad that your virus is on the way out.

Hello

Hope everyone is well ive not been around on the boards for a bit been busy. I had a look this afternoon and it had changed a bit and for the better, i think the picture and reseach thing is a nice touch :D

Hello Robin good to see you. The boars changed at the end of last week and so far have proved to be a great improvement. :-) :-)

Hi Ann

I am fine Robin, just had a four week holiday in Tenerife and looking forward to a week in Dorset in just over a week's time. :D :D :D

Very nice indeed i must get a passport or i wont be going anywhere lol

Hmmm would make it difficult.

Im thinking of going to Ypres in Belgium. :S
