Hi Everyone

Robert so glad to hear your Wife is Ok ,my best wishes to both of you.

Wonderful news for me on sat night ,grandaugter had her baby girl ,two weeks early .
She was 6 /14 and they called her April Jane.

There are a few problems but she was taken with her mother by flying doctor to the Princess margaret hospitol for Children in perth.
Aparently the soft spot on the top of her head is already closed and it is not supposed to be so we wait and see what they will do.
She is like a little doll so pretty.

Very glad to hear your news Robert. You must be relieved to have your wife back in your little shell with you. I'm sure you will be the perfect nurse.
Don't forget to look after yourself though.......we can't have you falling by the wayside - it's a very easy thing to happen when you are caring for someone else. Take care..... <3



Glad you had a good time Sylvia, despite the sadness of the situation.


My Skype thingey is still sitting on the table by my chair I really must give it a go soon :-S I feel like confused.com :-D



I had a phone call the other night from the fire service. A while ago, I had filled in a form saying that I would be pleased to have a visit re fire safety in the home.

So, yes, Monday evening would be fine...........but then I was told that they are coming in their fire engine because they will be on call :-0 :-0

I've had to warn the neighbours in case they start panicking that we are on fire! Why can't they just send a retired fire officer to talk to us - that's the sort of thing that happened when we had fire training for voluntary work???



Had better go and tidy up before I show them round I spose.... :-(


Anyway, it's a lovely 'washing' morning outside.......so I will go and see what needs doing...... :-D


Love to all.. Cx <3

Hi all


Robert .......... very best wishes for your wife. I hope things continue to go well. <3 <3 <3


John ......... welcome. Come back soon!


Arthur ....... that does sound very hopeful! Fingers crossed for you.

Evelyn .......... thinking of you


Sally ........ so sorry to hear that you fell. Hope you do not have any lasting problem.


Sue ................ keeping my fingers crossed for your readers!! We all depend so much on our eyes, don't we?!


Reece .............. hope things are OK with you <3


Anne .................... hope all is well with you.

Josie ........ it was so nice to see you back on here, and to hear what you are doing.


C ............. glad you survived FBG :-D. We're supposed to be getting Skype when J&M are over here this summer ...... she says they will install it for us :-)


Evelyn ...... thinking of you <3



We had a super time at the birthday party. There were 16 people in total at the dinner, and his wife was very wise ............ she hired a caterer!

Plus she rented crockery, an extra table and chairs. The rented dishes go back dirty, and the caterers not only prepared and served the meal, but they cleared up afterwards, put "house" cutlery in the dishwasher, folded up the rented table and chairs, and put them in a suitable place! There was hardly anything left to be done!

There was one surprise for R ................... an old friend came from another country for the dinner.

There was to be another party yesterday (Saturday) for less close, local friends. That was going to be a total secret, but then R got curious about the fact that the rental company left another 3 crates of glassware and crockery. He kept asking "why?", and eventually his wife told him ........ but he hadn't really taken it in by the time we left on Friday.

It really is very sad ............. he sits there with a benign look on his face listening (we think), and nodding at appropriate points of a story. But he doesn't initiate any conversation, and his short term memory seems to have gone ................. so he repeatedly asks the same question, and you have to repeatedly tell him the same thing.

We then had a lovely trip back on the ferry ...... the sun was shining, the water was glistening, and the mountains were very clear, with lots of snow shining in the sun on the tops of them

Hi Ladies,

Tuesday, 10th April, Surgery( Mastectomy)
Friday 13th Home - battered and very bruised
Today - Sunday Recovering well.

Thanks for your kind thoughts

Love to all.

Hello John and welcome..........so glad you enjoyed our thread - it's certainly a mixture of laughter and tears on here isn't it?

Please, feel free to join in any time you would like to - it would be lovely to hear from you again.



Poor Sally, do hope you didn't hurt yourself too much....and.....is the kitchen floor okay too???? :-D



Very glad about your news Arthur - sounds as though it's all going to work out okay, which must be a big relief to you.

As Anne has already said....FBG = Fanny by Gaslight and she is an excellent researcher on the boards......she's also very funny at times.



It's just over eleven years since my mum died Anne.....I just wonder where time goes.



Our granddaughter was 14 years old today and so we went up to see her. The Grand National began and I was away to the conservatory in great haste........I can't bear watching it because of the horses falling - it seems that two were killed.......such a shame... :-(


I now have one of those skype thingeys which was bought for me as an early (very early) birthday present. My daughter has plugged it in for me but I haven't a clue as to what to do next :-S :-S



Anyway....love to all......Cx <3 <3

`Hi everyone,
Please excuse my interruption, I only came on to post a request for help, but then I started to read your posts "help us to help you - three". That was about six hours ago. You all had me laughing until I cried and you had me crying with sadness over other things. Thank you all very much it has been a wonderful afternoon.

Regards and good wishes to everyone

Vist by my County Councillor was excellent.

Not sure what the outcome will be, but possible solution could be to put the post and rope fencing across my original boundary (wherever that might be) and leave the remainder as is.

I asked him if he could establish who it was that complained - he will try. Awful to think that a neighbour could be so small minded - you have to take my word for it, but nobody is adversely affected by my action, and I have eliminated an eyesore.

He will talk to the Enforcement Officer to make sure that nothing happens whilst I am on holiday. Parting words "Don't worry about this".

Oh Sally - you need to take more water with it - ((((Hugs <3 <3))))
Please take care

Arthur - hope all goes well with your visit

An "FBG" her real name is Viv shje pops on here sometimes - otherewise known as "Fanny By Gaslight" a good friend to all & good researcher - always there when you need her.

Little bit low today - 20 years ago I lost my mum - she had just had her 70th birthday.

100 years ago tonight we lost the Titanic & all those lives lost due to others stupidity & ignorance. May they all rest in peace at last.

Robert & Evelyn <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Reece - hows the packing going?

Will pop back in again later

Take care all

What is an FBG? :-S :-S :-S

An update on my front garden problem.

I received a 'Signed For' letter from the ENFORCEMENT OFFICER of the Kent County Council HighWay and Transportation dept.
This basically said I had 30 days to reinstate the grass verge. Failure to comply would mean the Council would have it done and charge me,

Angry but inspired I decided to write to my County councillor. Imagine my delight when I found I could send him an email, and absolute delight when I found he is the Deputy Cabinet Member for Environment, Highways and Waste.

I emailed him this afternoon - my friend said my letter was 'polite and succinct'. I requested an appointment to discuss the problem and his advice on how I might extend the 30 day deadline as I am going on holiday April 30th for two weeks.

Have just had an email asking for my telephone number - he wants to visit and explain the complicated boundary maps - said by the Enforcement Officer to clearly delineate my boundary - it doesn't.

I emailed him and within 5 minutes he rang to fix an appointment - he is coming at 0930 Saturday morning.

I am encouraged that common sense may prevail.

Watch this space

Arthur

Hello friends.

Poor Sue, it sounds like you are having a really rough time with your eye probs. Hopefully, all will be resolved soon and you will be able to enjoy things again.


Have a good weekend Sylvia.....dementia is such a cruel, cruel illness and affects the whole family one way and another. I do hope your friend's wife eventually gets the support she must badly need. Coping by herself must be so very, very difficult for her.


Have been fairly busy this week what with Easter and everything and, fortunately, the new meds which have been added to my OH's 'package', are really helping and he was able to do a bit more than usual.



I had an interesting day yesterday when I met up with our very own FBG! She travelled to meet me as she knows I am unable to travel far because of OH. We chatted non-stop for a couple of hours at least and it was very enjoyable and lovely to meet someone from here in the flesh.


I think we have all been wondering how Robert's wife is doing after her recent surgery - it would be lovely to hear from him. <3


Haven't heard from Arthur or Sally for a while.......hope they are okay.


Well, had better move off and browse around.


Will just open another Easter egg first though..... :-D


Love to all....Cx <3

Hi Everyone

Sylvia
I have no idea why my eyes are taking so long to get back to normal ,my spec tells me I am doing fine and all is going to plan .

I have always needed readers as well as everyday glasses since I was very young .
My sight got so bad that is why they decided to do my cataracts at mid range so they could put script lenses into my eyes so I would not end up with milk bottles for my glasses ,I also have Glaucoma so I suppose it all has something to do with the healing process..
It gets better everyday , I should have my readers within a week of being tested I hope (18th April).

So sad to hear about your friend with Dementia,I used to work in a nursing home for the elderly and most of the residence had Dementia. I was so surprised at how fast it progresses.
It is a very cruel disease.

It is very warm today ,we are all waiting for the winter rains to come should not be to long now .

Robert and Evelyn my thoughts are with you both..

Love to everyone.
Suex :-D <3

Hello everyone


we really did have a lovely weekend ................ every day was sunny and quite warm for the time of year.

It was cloudy today (Tuesday), and I think rain is in the forecast for Wednesday.


I don't remember having that much trouble when I had my cataracts done ............... but it was before I had internet access, so I wasn't trying to be on the computer. But I did read books and the newspaper after the 2nd or 3rd day.

Different specialists, different techniques I suppose.


I do hope that you get your readers soon Sue!


I went to have my hair cur today ...... it's a little shorter than I wanted!

We are away for one night ....... our close friend turns 80 on Thursday, and there is a dinner that evening, so we will be going over to the Island for the night.

Unfortunately, he has much deteriorated in the last year, due to a dementia setting in. It's rather like dealing with a small boy at times ............... and is driving his wife (a couple of years older) to distraction. They only married 33 years ago, neither having been married before ......... so she doesn't even have that prior experience of handling a small child.

We will bringing her brother and his wife back on the ferry with us ........... and I am sure there will be some discussion while we enjoy the sea trip.



Thinking of Robert's wife xxxxx


take care

Sue lovely to have you back with us - it will get better with time.

After my 3rd op I went into deep depression as you know - It does take it out of you.

Had my eye check up on Saturday - He thinks its wonderful - as a lot of the scar damage has gone now - and is amazed how well everything still is - saw a 3D image this time - one of those new machines - it is very strange when looking at the difference in the two eyes - one normal - one showing all the scars inside the eye & you really can see the difference.

Its like looking at a geological survey all different colours. you can also see all the work the laser did on the eye - at least he is pleased - I am too sometimes - at least he explained why sometimes its a bit blurry - something to do with the heavy oil I had and me lying down for a long time.

Lovely sunny day today - total difference to yesterday it rained all day

At least it feels like spring now.

take care all <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi Everyone

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.

It will take me a while to catch up with all the posts I have missed.

Still no readers at the moment and I can't go and get tested for them until 18th of April ,that is when my drops stop ...so I have a little time to go yet before I can get my readers.

My eyes are good and I can see well ,I have a slite dark line on the outside of my left eye ..hoping that goes away with time ..

See my spec-ists again in four weeks so I guess time will tell ....feeling a bit down today as this has been going on to long for me and I miss reading the paper in the morning.
I realy miss my computer as it takes me ages to post this message with the mag glass.

I hope you are all keeping well .
Robert my thoughts are with you and your wife.

Cynthia ..glad to hear your friend has settled in again Ok.

I send my love to you all and will get back again tomorrow.

Suex <3 <3 <3

Happy Easter everyone

Happy Easter my friends. Such a special time of year but the weather isn't anything special to be honest.


I've been busy with church and so forth - good attendances at all services - and there were a lot of services....... :-D



My children seem to think I like chocolate..........wonder where they got that idea from?????? ;-) I seem to have ended up with about a dozen Easter eggs............................one happy bunny here...... :-D



Haven't heard from Sue for a little while....hope everything is okay with her eyes.......... :-S



Here are some special Easter (((((hugs))))) for all our friends on here.

Cx <3 <3 <3 <3

Ann there is no clash on the Religious front,
The Jews were required to sacrifice an unblemished lamb, at Passover. in remembrance of their life's being spared when the Angel of Death Passed over.
At Easter Christians remember Jesus a Jew who became the Sacrificial Lamb, that by his death we might have everlasting life.

The Passover is not just Israel's Feast it belongs to the whole Church both Jew and Gentile, The early Celtic Christians understood this and celebrated until they where forbidden in 1582 by A law put into place in England by the Catholic Church.

Blessing to you all this Easter.

Josie <3 <3 <3

Happy Easter to all on the thread

Very wet here today - we do need the rain - its been very light so everything is drenched which is good.

Its the Brighton marathon today - I feel sorry for them in this rain and its still rather chilly.

Fantastic pictures of the Pink Moon over new york - showing on the General chat inbox - under Passover.

Shalom - to all celebrating the passover as well as Easter blessings to all on the thread - May peace be ours this Easter and throughout the years to come.

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