Hi Mo, and everyone
xxx



the weather has changed here ................. after being so sunny, getting to over 16C on Sunday and Monday, it is now cloudy, much cooler, and rain is due!!


We took the littlie to a nearby children's park on Monday morning while the parents went out for a couple of hours. He had a ball trying all the equipment. I sat on a bench, and managed to get my arms sunburnt!


I was stupid .................. didn't realise the sun was so hot. I wore a hat, but forgot to put suncream on my arms!

They left late that night, and had a reasonable trip back home. MJ slept, but parents didn't.


They were glad they had come, even though it was sad.






take care everyone

Hello All, Jean, hopefully it was just a short sharp 'zap'.

Just been to Hobbycraft but couldn't really find much to buy.

Hello All, Jean, hopefully it was just a short sharp 'zap'.

Just been to Hobbycraft but couldn't really find much to buy.

Hello to anybody who is looking in.

I had an appointment at the eye clinic in Remuera (Auckland) today at 3.40p.m. I went up there by train. It is just a short walk of about 15 mins from the Newmarket station to the clinic. I arrived early, but better early than late. The specialist was very pleased with the results of the test that had been done by a woman on my eyes. I hate the field vision test, where I have to watch the red spot in the middle of the screen and click a clicker each time a white spot appears anywhere. It is a form of torture, like waiting for water to drip on your face, and I wasnt comfortable in the chair, and I kept wanting to blink, or cough or swallow, but if I did I missed some spots. Still, I passed ok.

Well done Huia, I hate those sort of tests too, like the hearing test when you have to press the button when you hear a noise.

And, just where is everyone, three days since the last post which was mine before I went away for the weekend. I assume everyone must be busy but I hope theya re all ok. A grey start to the day here but the weekend in Hampshire was lovely, sunny and fairly warm, very spring like. I suppose by the look of it we are back to winter again today. although I think the wind may have dropped a bit.

Hello girls.
Sorry not to have posted before, but I have been a poorly soldier. I started with an upper respiratory infection, that went down onto my chest.
I don't think I have felt this poorly in ages. But I am on my second lot of anti-biotics now, and hopefully when I have finished this lot, will feel a lot better.
I didn't even make it to the meet at Victoria last Saturday, and I feel so disappointed about that, as there was going to be a lot of peole who I have never met attending, and I so wanted to meet them.
Also, young Foggy was due to show his lovely face again. Now that man is a proper Gentleman....and when I say Gentle Man, I mean just that, he is a really nice man.

I hope you are all well, and that the weather in your area is as nice as it is here. Even though it's cold, it's lovely and bright, and the sun keeps trying to show it's face.

Ann, I am pleased that you had a nice weekend.
I have just put the garden recycling bin out for collection tomorrow. I am hoping I don't get a knock on the door by the bin men in the morning, as it's sooo heavy.
I emptied all the planters of there old compost, and nearly filled the bin up to the top, so fingers crossed that they take it.
I want get some new compost this year, and start some fresh planting, of nice new seedling and plants.

Huia, I am pleased that all went well at the eye clinic love. I always have to blink when they blow the puffer into the eyes, and yet I am aware that it's going to happen, and I still manage to blink.
It sounds like you had what they call over here, the Peripheral eye test.

Well my lovelies, I am going now to prepare some dinner. Hopefully I will speak to you tomorrow. Love Mo xxx

sorry you have been poorly Mo, hope the antibiotics continue to work their magic. What a shame you didn't make it to the meet. I was sure I saw your name on the list of those who went, you didn't send a double did you? :-D

we always put all the old compost out of the tubs etc onto the garden to help the soil.

Hello girls,


Mo I'm sorry that you have been poorly and that you had to miss the London meet at Victoria. Let's hope that the second lot of anti-biotics that you are now on will clear the infection completely for you.

Weather is nice and bright here but it's still cold, although not as cold as it has been. We went to our favourite garden centre this afternoon, Alun wanted one or two things there and I needed something from the craft centre there. I was disappointed as they didn't have much of what I wanted. At least Alun got what we went there for and we bought a couple of dvd's and also went in the Coffee shop for tea, coffee and a scone. So at least it wasn't a wasted journey.




Jean, I am having the same problems as you with this site. I'm not sure if it is GR or my laptop. A couple of times over the weekend I couln't get on GR at all, so goodness knows what the problem is.
Have you heard anything about your hospital appointment yet? Let's hope it will all be sorted very soon.




Huia, so pleased to know that your test results are good and that the Consultant was pleased with them.




Ann, glad you and T enjoyed your weekend in Hampshire, it's always nice to see the family.

We went down to Richard's on Wednesday evening for a couple of days and came home on Saturday evening.... had a lovely time but we were both tired after going out and about and the journey there and back. I suppose old age doesn't come by itself.lol!!

Like you, I hate those hearing tests that you have to press the button when you hear a noise, just wish I didn't have to have that one.lol!!




Sylvia, hope all is well with you and OH and that you are still having the good weather there.



Jeni, how are things with you? Hope you alright and managing to get some of your knitting done.



Marie, also hope all is well with you and your family.




Well I must go and make our tea now so will look in again later.



Take care everyone.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Ann, it was Mo the rocking granny who went to the meet. She and I normally have a good chat when we meet up, and it can get a bit confusing when someone says our name out loud, and we both respond. lol
We cant put the old compost on our soil, as we have so little garden, with raised flower beds, and if I put the old compost onto the beds, it would pour over the top and onto the patio slabs.

Sallie, I forgot you were going down to Richards for a few days. It can be very tiring visiting people, what with the journey as well.
At the moment, we are not going away this year, but I do feel like getting away for a while.
Being stuck indoors for the past week or more, is driving me mad. These four walls dont change from one day to the next. :-( :-( :-(
Mind you, I have managed to sit in the garden a couple of times, but I was wrapped up like Eskimo Nell.
And emtying those pots out yesterday whacked me out no end. I am like a wet weekend at the moment.
Love Mo xxx

Mo, my poorly little mite, hope you are feeling much better soon, dont go out in the cold, the garden will be there when you feel better and hopefully the warmer weather will be here.... I am like you just want a change of scenery. but waiting to hear from the oral clinic should be getting my date soon... so everything is on hold at the moment....

Sallie, hope all was well with Richard, I got fed up with this site as I wrote a reply and there it was gone, I sent some pics to you so not sure if you got them either I think Ann got hers.... but I am not really interested in anything , even the cards are not moving as fast as usual, still as I dont get paid it doesnt really matter......

Ann, did you get some nice pics its great when the sun shines its the cold that gets to me so my camera is used to make a record of the cards....hope Lynda and family are all well .
Love to everyone else who I havent mentioned by name , but always in my mind...
love Jean xx

Just a quick look in here before I go out. Sorry didn't get back yesterday, I don't know where the time went, it was 10-30pm before I realised what time it was.

Mo, hope that your new anti-biotics have started to 'kick in' and that you are feeling a bit better today. Also hope all goes well at the hospital next Wednesday, for both you and Roly.


Jean, sorry that you are still not able to get into your card making as much as usual, I'm sure that once the biopsy is over and done with you will feel more inclined to doing them again.


Well, I must go now, have to go and get a few things that we need, so it's out into the cold easterly winds that we are still getting.


Speak to you all later.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hi, No Jean, I didn't take any photos over the weekend as we didn't really go anywhere, and the grandsons are a bit big for photos these days, unless it is a special occasion.

Sallie, amazing where the time goes yet when you look back you haven't actually done anything isn't it?

We have done the grocery shop this morning, had collected enough stamps on our coffee card to have a 4 item breakfast each, which is what we did, enjoyed it too.

Have since made one card, but it took longer than normal as it was a stamped one, don't do a lot of stamping these days and when I do I usually find half my pens have dried up. Think it is too warm in this room for them. Shall make a few more cards this afternoon, trying to fill in the time and not think about my hospital appointment on Thursday. :-( Not moaning a lot about it because there are plenty of others on here with worse things going on.

Mo have the antbs solved the problem now? Hope so.

T is out in the garden, he decided he couldn't wait any longer to plant his potatoes in the containers.

Ann, good luck at the hospital tomorrow, hope all goes well and it will get sorted, so that it
will then set your mind at peace. Will be thinking about you.


I have to make a birthday card once I'm finished on here, its for my friend's hubby, but I can't decide on what sort of card to make for him, although I have a few things that I can use, just cannot make up my mind......typical of me.lol!! With him not having any hobbies, it is more difficult to know what to do.


I'll get back to you all later on, must go and get the card done now.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Thanks for reminding me Sallie, will be thinking of you tomorrow Ann, I am sure all will go well.... I am still waiting for my mouth date..... :-D :-D :-D , just recycled ;ots of cards I made for the hairdressers, doesnt look like any were sold , so they have all new ones see how they go....maybe I should call it a day...... who wants lots of stock ;-) ;-) ;-)

love Jean xx

Why call it a day Jean, I thought your charity cards were in great demand. I suspect that the hairdressers is not the best place to sell, I have noticed that things don't sell in our hairdressers, don't know why.

Anyway you like making cards, have a rest and get back to it later.

Oh! oh!, I am late tonight girls, and I have probably missed you.
Good luck for tomorrow Ann, I will be thinking of you.
Night god bless, speak to you tomorrow girls, at an earlier time I hope. Love Mo

Good evening girls, before you all go to bed.

I must go for a walk in the sunshine soon, 30 mins a day I am supposed to have. I go to work in the shop this afternoon.

Joking Ann...lol....., the cards are always sold at the Hospice and also were D works, but J noticed how quiet the hairdresser was,so maybe folk are cutting back, someone wanted to know how much it was for a colour and blow wave It was £ 45, I just go once a fortnight, so not as dear, maybe I should try the rest home across from were I live, they may want some.... I would still give the money to the hospice though, but I am downgrading some of my stock , cant move for stuff. so I am wondering how to dispose of some of it never done selling on e-thingy,so suggestions will be gratefully recieved.......but there will be a time to slow down , its getting harder to carry on with the normal things of life, so off to bed....

love Jean xx

I thought you had got rid of a lot of your stuff Jean. A While back. I only have my hair done once every 6 weeks and usually coloured about every 3 to 4 months. Depending on time of year and where I am going.
