Continuing the theme

I was going to continue the "Who is the handsome one?" But handsome isn't the word I am looking for.!

Who's this?

Who's this handsome chap?

Wedding Cake

I have just been to the village Hall to help put the chairs etc out for tonight's meeting which is a talk and demonstration by the woman who made the royal wedding cakes for the last three royal weddings. Apparently at the end you get to sample some of her cake. what a pity I don't like fruit cake.!
Nothing else of any note is happening.We are waiting for our holiday in Florida. Gina and Andrew are drawing up an itinerary of what they want to do whilst there. I hope they remember that they are only there for two weeks, although once we have done Busch gardens there should be time for the Segway lessons etc. we are carefully watching the dollar as it seems very erratic at the moment. as soon as we think about buying some dollars, the rate goes back down! Oh well that's capitalism for you.

Just gone.

Susan and Trev have just gone. Yesterday we all went on our usual Wednesday trip to Boston and had a meal in our usual place.This morning was hilarious. No matter how we try, she always leaves something behind, so we ran a check list and checked every room. They had only been gone 5 minutes when I noticed her coat over a chair in the kitchen. I was just about to ring and tell her when she rang and said she was coming back to collect it. As she was running out the door a second time I went into the bathroom for something and found her special shampoo hidden under some towels. ran after her and off they went again.
Some two hours later, she rang me from Sheffield to say that she had left her phone charger plugged in in the bedroom! I have had to post it to her! she is the original dizzy blond!

Last night I introduced them to the second series of an Idiot Abroad which they can't get on their network. They laughed so much.Also a new series of Rab C Nesbitt which was very funny.
It's back to the quiet now.

Chaos !

Susan and Trevor are coming today. In a moment of madness this morning, I pointed out to Graham, a crack that has appeared in the living room wall. he immediately fetched the step ladders and went up into the loft to see if anything was happening up there. His verdict is that there is too much stuff up there and it is all too heavy. The next thing I knew boxes and paintings etc appeared on the kitchen floor, which I had just cleaned in anticipation of the afore mentioned visitors. Like a fool I suggested that he designate one shed to his paintings (of which there are a great many) On entering his choosen shed he found that all the stuff already in there was full of mouse droppings so every thing must be cleared out/thrown away/re located. Now the kitchen,Garden outhouse garage etc is littered with stuff. Oh God !!

Betty turpin

oh no !! Betty Turpin has died. Will Coronation Street ever be the same without her?

Pat,s ashes.

We will be making yet another trip to Sheffield on Monday when we will finally say goodbye to my sister Pat as we place her ashes in the ground. It will be good to see everyone again though. We will go for a meal afterwards and hopefully the sisters will begin to feel a bit less depressed. We have all suffered in our different ways. It's a bit like losing a limb. There is always someone missing.

An idiot abroad.

I forgot to say that "An Idiot Abroad " series two has started. I have watched two episodes and I am still reserving judgement. Because he now knows what is going to happen to him, they have altered the format somewhat . He is now told that he is exercising freewill by choosing things from a bucket list of things to do before you die. So far he has been marooned on a desert island ( not very good) and has gone on the "Trans Siberian railway".
Yesterday I went to the Lincolnshire ladies lunch. A prestigious occasion for all the movers and shakers ( plus a few non entities like me!) It was such a hot day and after a huge three course lunch it was terribly difficult not to fall asleep during the lecture. i had to remind my friend to give me a nudge if she saw me nodding off. I should point out that I am a mass of bruises from her costant prodding!
