Well if the internet had been good to me I could have done a lot of work today.

As it was i spent most of the day cursing hte laptop - it is so slow - not worth the wait - don't know what has happened to it today

Never mind I needed the rest & if the OH had been well we would have been with the outlaws -

I hope tomorrow will be better - who knows

Thank you for the New year Cards - much appreciated

Take care all

Frank - thank you for the advice - OH a bit better - shoved everything I could find down his throat yesterday when I got back home. Seems to have done the trick as he is feeling a lot better today. We both still had a bad night.

Robert - please don't go back in the shell, we like having you here with us

Looks like everyone else was a little worse for ware yesterday as very quiet on the thread

Looking forward to the test in Sydney on the 3rd

At least I have 2 days off now then its back to the slog. Next lot of time off is April - seems a long way offf.

Well early start this morning on the tree before I fall asleep this afternoon watching a programme I wanted to see - always happens

See you all later - I hope

Cynthia,

I am a quiet wee soul really - honest.

Trying at my old age to change my image, but maybe the "new" me is not me.
Thinking about going back into my shell, but I have to go to London Tuesday/Wednesday so it will have to wait 'til I come back.

Lovely text Anne, oh that it could be so..................

Commiserations to your OH if he has this chesty, wheezy, blocked up listless affliction.
I wouldn't even call it flu but merely a middle of the road thing which keeps pushing you down and I've had mine since Dec 23rd............aahh mine's different, it's American ;))

Woke up at 3.00am and there was my OH out for the count with Les Mis playing on the DVD accompanied by a couple of empty bottles of Chardonnay.

She was still there when I got up at 11.00am..................

I trust the celebrations have not have not left the rest of you with my OH's sore head.........she's off to bed.

Have a nice day.

Here it is - it was on chat

May peace break into your home and may thieves come to steal your debts.
May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for £100 notes.
May love stick to your face like glue and may laughter assault your lips!
May happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy.
May the problems you had forget your home address.

In simple words, may 2011 be the best year of your life.

BCXX.

Happy New Year to all

My OH is really poorly - sounds like the same as Frank has

Well its all quiet on the western Front here - in one way I hope it stays like it - on the other hand I know I will get very fed up with nothing to do.

Who wants to play a guessing game?

What sort of enquiries do you think we will get today?

Its 7:15 & very dark outside - crisp & clear - left home at 6:10 to walk to work as OH too poorly to get out of bed - so he really must be ill.

Saw several people a bit worse for the night out - came across 2 people with their heads & arms hanging out of a wheelie bin snooring away - bottle of Vodka in one hand.

Further down the road 2 people opening the lisds of several Wheelie bins calling Jude - then they found her - obviously in the bottom of the bin & they were trying to tip the bin over to get her out. Several young lads sitting huddled together on a bench.

Well 7:45 & still dark - still no calls & very peaceful

May do a sneaky if I can & do the odd bit of Family tree work if no-one is around too much today

There is a message on the General board I think that is wonderful a whole new kind of New Year wish - will see if I can find it

Take care all

HAPPY NEW YEAR
EVERYONE

From Downunder

AND HAPPY HOGMANY Frank and Robert

My New Year's day is already half over here,

I'ts another warm sunny day, though not as brilliant as Christmas Day was. But I am not complaining.

Have stayed inside today as my Sunburn is now peeling and I do not want a fresh lot.

Wishing you all a Great start to the new Year and the new decade.

Josie

Have had a couple of busy/difficult days re daughter's birthday but thought I would pop in and wish everyone a very Happy and Peaceful New Year.



ps. Robert, I've never known you so talkative....it's really nice!


Get well soon Frank.


Much love to all friends on here. Cx

Sword dance Anne..........

Have you any idea how much damage a man could do to himself dancing over a couple of swords while holding on grimly to a bottle of scotch.

Especially when we are kilted up in traditional costume.........Hicc.....ouch !

Shame you have to work tomorrow, but perhaps you'll have a quiet day........or will that be worse.

Off to bed as this chesty bug thing is still with me and as the hot toddy hasn't worked, at least I won't have a sore head.

Night all.

Happy New Year To All

Saw the fireworks in Auckland & Sydney talk about a head start

How is 2011 then Josie & Susan?

Welcome Robert nice to have you back with us - are you & Frank going to do a sword dance for us?

My poor OH has a very annoying cough so is very grumpy as well & is going to sit up all night with the TV so he doesn't keep me awake. Really because I am working at 7am tomorrow & need to be awake to face all the weird & wonderful things we will get tomorrow.

Anyone want to lay a few bets on some of the things I am going to be asked for tomorrow?

Well I will away for nooooooo - Happy Hogmanay to those North of the Border & Robert nearly acreoss the border - have a wee dram for me
Lang Mey Yer Lum Reek

May we all have a very happy & healthy New Year & hopefully a more prosperous one.

Take care all & I will pop in again Next Year - see you all in 2011

Thanks Frank,

An' a guid yin tae ye anaw.

Oh Susan,

We forgive you but just remember never to mention Scotland & England at the same time........ unless of course it's to say Scotland gubbed England again ;))

Scotland do indeed have a national cricket team and Freuchie, one of our local Fife cricket teams famously beat Surrey side Rowledge to win the National Village Championship in 1985 and they still talk about it.

.........well England never stop talking about the World Cup, do they ;))

That's the new year almost upon us although some are getting a head start on the rest of us.............. just think poor Sylvia will be last ;(

Time to put the past behind us and hope for better in this year to come.

...........even for the English :)

Happy New Year XX

and a bracing handshake for you Robert.......... cheers!

Apology accepted, Susan.

Hi Everyone

Sorry Frank and Robert I stand corrected.

I did get it wrong on the UK,I did not know Scotland had a Cricket team.

I was sad to see our team go down so easy ,most of us are in shock as to what has happened to them,they are really a good team but I suspect England wanted it more than us and it showed.
We still have one more game and maybe we can even up to a drawn series that does not sound so bad.

A very Happy New Year to you all.
Suex

Yes, Frank,

Susan should have said "Congratulations to the English". Does she not realise that we have our own Cricket team?

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

Englerland have won the ashes.

Congratulations to the English. ;(

Commiserations to the Australians :))

Commiserations to the Scottish !?

Oh no, not more knighthoods for winning one match against only one other team.......it's hardly the world cup........ DOOHH

I'll just awaw 'n play wi ra haggis.

A very happy, sober or otherwise New year to you all when it comes.

Hi Everyone

Robert glad to hear you are giving up your shell ...must be too cold anyway ,glad to see you out and about.

The last of the visitors are all gone home thank the lord ,I am just completely worn out looking after people .
I love them all but it does get a bit much after afew days of it.

It is very hot here so I won't go on about it as I realise you are all so cold in the Uk and Us.

We are not doing anything this New Years ...we are staying home and just having a nice quiet one on our own with a few wines and some nice big prawns that I picked up this morning in the shops .

It may sound funny but I am ironing at present ,the OH thinks I am mad but I hate letting it build up and we still need clean cloths to wear.

To all the Cricket lovers in the Uk Congratulations on retaining the Ashes your team did deserve to win ,all we can do now is try to draw the 5 test series and save some face with a win on the last test.

I am going to finish off my ironing but I will pop back later tonght.
Suex

Dear Robert
I did not mean to be Impertinent rea.......ly

I was merely responding to what you had already said

quote: in the early days of my 'Old Age'

Maybe you are becoming a little forgetful!!! anyway am glad you have decided to come out of your shell and live a little.

Have given up the shell, Tabitha.

I think I should change my image and start living a little!!

Oh Frank - how sweet

Let me know what the 25th Anniv DVD is like - i have the 10th Anniv & love it - think i have worn it out

Did you see last night on BBC2 - wonderful - i cried buckets - i so want to go & see Les Mis again.

What i was going to say was "You are only as old as the person you feel" so this message may be deleted.

Evelyn wonderful to have you back again

Robert - age suites you - have you come out of hibernation now or is it the lack of Snow. what ever it is its nice to have you pop in so much.
