Typical Women!!!

Can't make up your minds about where (inside or out), which Country, when (this month, next month, next year), what kind of food.

Wake me up when you have decided.

Love to all.

Sally - it sounds an amazing device - I am sure the Salmon will go down really well - especially with the girls & their BBQ

I have to admit I am not a fishy person - more the steak & burger type - I do like my Peri peri kebabs from Harvester.

Still trying to think of a good place - do we want open air good view - or indoors or a bit of both - OZ - NZ - Canada - England - Scotland - Guernsey (Evelyn not sure if you feel up to being visited yet) -

We could vote on it

Sally do you want to be in charge of decorations?

Music i love John Denver - I met him once many years ago - such a lovely man and a great loss.

I think we should seriously consider a BBQ if we are going to have some outside space

Keep bringing on the sugestions

take care all <3 <3 <3 <3

Sue - how about Saturday 28th instead - that way we all have a chance to prepare

Olympic theme sounds cool - next thing to do is decide where its going to be - I vote London out as its far too busy - even for a virtual party.

Arthur - bless you - just when I needed cheering up myself.

I think this is what we all need - between us we have all been through the mill one way & another.

Next - more ideas - food - music - entertainment? Lets get the party ideas flowing and get this on the road.

Cynthia - dont faint - I booked myself an afternoon off

Will pop back in again later

Take care all <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hello friends,

Yes, indeed, count me in - just what I need to cheer me up!

My move to Dorset has been delayed to early December because of the bad weather! The builders have not been able to get on with the work as they are using two huge cranes on the site, which is only 20 minutes by car from the coast!

Lovely to hear from Evelyn and Robert.

Sorry to learn about your MIL Susan, it must have been a dreadful shock for all of you but good to know that she is coping well with it.

Will try to get back more often - the pressure is off now with the delay - still sorting through our treasured memories though.

Love to you all

Reece<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 :-)

Arthur - you must wonder what kind of group we are - all suggestions welcome

I don't wonder, I know

You are a kind generous group of people who started with a common interest and expanded into a group of friends offering advice and support when necessary.

Anne That sounds good to me.

Maybe we can make it an olympic theme,opening ceremony night perhaps.

Anyone else got any ideas.

Lots of safety things for MIL at the moment ,she is getting Medic Alert,she has to keep that with her and she just presses a button and it calls probably us then her second chose .
We shall have the Police as one I think there are two more numbers she can put into it.
More outside sensor lights ,if anyone goes into her yard now at night it will light up like a Christmas tree.

Better get back to the bike races... it is getting very interesting now.

Ok - Sue its your thread - when do you want to set up the Virtual Party

Sally I too am fed up with all the Olympics - advert upon advert - feel free to add your suggestions .

Lovely to see you pop in Robert - your little shell must be waterlogged
Hope your wife will feel up to join you at the party

Arthur - you must wonder what kind of group we are - all suggestions welcome

Looks like we are all up for a party again - I think it will do us all good

Evelyn - please join in - I think it will do you good - remember the last one

Reece too if you can stop packing for a few mins

For the benefit of those new to this.

The weather is always amazing - so new clothes are a must

We decide where to hold the Virtual party - who is going to host it - What we are celebrating - everyone decides how they are going to get to the party (any form of transport you would like - time machine not allowed )

Who is going to provide the music & what you would like to bring with you - you know favourite dishes you can make etc - Not sure about party games this time

Then we all turn up & enjoy ourselves at various times of the day in our various time zones.

Cynthia - are you going to join in?

Sue all over to you -

Take care all ;-) <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 ;-)

Hi Everyone

Anne that party sounds great, just what we all need me thinks.

I had another chat with the Police yesterday...they are treating the fire as an arson crime and they will get the person that did they say.

This only a small country town so this sort of thing does not happen all the time ...give the Police something to do.

Evelyn it is very nice to see you back again...I hope your 80th goes off great and you all have a wonderful family get together.

I am off shopping now so will have to check in later.


love to everyone

Hello All My Dear Friends,
See I am still alive.
My son and daughter in law have now returned home, they decorated my living room while they were here and it looks nice and fresh, not much different as I chose the same colours again.
Next week I am going to England to celebrate my 80th birthday, I shall be staying with Claire and Jonathan ( daughter and son in law ) Margaret and Leslie are going to motor down from Scotland to join us for the big day.
I have signed up with Skype so you can get in touch with me if you have a wireless connection.
Ian ( my brother ) is still hanging on and has been out with his family on a few trips, at least it shows he still has some interest in living.
Take care everyone, I think of you often
Love to you all

Oh Sue, that's a terrible thing to happen. I hope the neighbours have given the name of whom they suspect to the police so that it can be looked into. The way she reacted is pretty good for a 92 year old.....she deserves a medal!



Sylvia sounds as though she's having fun.......... :-D Hope she's moved her 'valuables' out of Tiddler's way ;-)



It's been quite an expensive week for us.......we have bought an adjustable bed for OH and then, today, we bought him a dual motor recliner. Not easy decisions but we want him to remain as independent as possible for as long as possible. Baked beans on toast for a while methinks! :-D


Grandchildren finish school on Friday but, as they are now so grownup, I don't think I will be needed very much......time moves on.....sigh.


Got to go and pick them up soon - haven't seen them for a couple of week so I guess they have grown some more!!!



Love to all. Take care. Cx <3

Hi all


daughtr and family are now here, but they're all having a nap at the mment!

4 hours time difference does make it difficult to adjust quickly ........ although tiddlie adjusted better than his parents. Still he always takes a nap of about 1-2 hours in the early afternoon.


Sue ....... that is terrible. I'm so glad that the dog wakened your MiL and that she is OK.


We do have the arsonist problem in Vancouver ................. someone loves to set garages alight, or put a march to cardboard or flammable things in open carports. It can be very dangerous if not spotted soon enough and gets to the house siding.

We get warnings every now and again to make sure that we do not store flammable objects (aka "junk") in garages and carports.

Fortunately, neighbours have all been helping each other when the fires have happened.



Hope the police get the guy who's doing it, and put him away ........... even if it is the schizophrenic guy. He needs treatment.


Take care everyone.



I'll look in again when I can.

Thankyou anne ,it sounds like you feel as if you have to fence yourself in as well.

What happened to MIL is very unusual for our little town ,that sort of thing you hear about in a big city like Perth , it does happen and people die from this sort of thing.

I took her shopping today that made her happy,I also stayed for lunch when we got back to her place ...she loves to fuss.

Watching the Tour De France at the moment.
