Daughter Michelle came in from work and did an hour and
Mohsen is doing it now. He is funny though he gets his words all wrong. One man said come again meaning he
did not understand and Mohsen said come again where I am here. It would be nice to close the shop really. Not good news and I do not have the money to buy another.computor But will have a word with the other man he seemed to be more interested
and helpful suggesting things.

Anyone looking out for the shooting stars tonight ?? its a bit cloudy here so don't know if we'll see any .

Sheila

Sheila Report 12 Aug 2010 21:29

Six until 10. every evening even Sunday. He does it every night after 8pm Michelle and Mohsen do 6 until 8pm because they live here and do not pay rent or anything
do Saturday lunch time and Saturday evening 6 until 8.

I used to do the shop all day and until 8am but found standing all that time crippled my back if I sat down my legs cramped. I could not cope with the garden and all the housework.HO should sell it he is too old now for this we both are Mandy.

Jane Report 12 Aug 2010 21:34

Mandy I am going to try and stay up for the next hour and will be in and out of the garden looking skywards.I remember some years ago we were expecting a spectacular show of shooting stars.I was in my nightie lying on a sunbed in the middle of the back lawn for what seemed ages.Never saw a b****y thing lol

Are you still around, I have been watching "POLICE CAMERA ACTION". If I was in charge of this country. These drivers would be fined £1,000.00 and baned for 12 months, if caught again "LIFE BAN" Who do they think they are Texing, phoning, putting on makeup.Having dogs on their laps.!!!! I see so many drivers on the phone, as a passenger. I shout at them, but they take no notice. There I feel better for getting it of my chest. Ros thinks one day they will turn on me. LET THEM TRY. !!!!

Glad Hannah has someone interested in house, fingers crossed it all go well.

Hope Ralph is going along allright David.

Have looked outside, nothing yet, will go out again in a hour or so.

Sheila, you can buy a second hand (used) computer tower on Ebay quite inexpensively.

Probably more reliable than a questionable repair and a lot cheaper.

Morning All
Did anyone see lots of shooting stars or just the odd one or 2 like Mandy and me.I think they said the south west was going to be good for sightings,so maybe Mel got a good show.
Sheila,you stay with us ,we will keep you cheered up !!! Sorry you have had a miserable few months.
Clouds are building up here now ,so I think I am going to nip out quickly.One of my favourite sandals broke yesterday.(the strap),and I need to take it to the cobblers.

Morning All,

Sun is out today but last night was cloudy so we did'nt see anything AGAIN!!

It was so dark when I went up the caravan with Chrissy yesterday as I had'nt lit the lanterns and it being dull yesterday the solar lights were'nt on either. When I came back to the bungalow I was standing on the decking to see if I could see any stars when I heard a noise just off the decking. Thinking it was a mouse I put the torch down off the end of the decking and guess what I saw??

OH had thrown some foil over the edge from the barby the night before and I had'nt picked it up and there on the foil was a hedgehog!! Bigger than the one we caught in the fox trap the other week. Rushed back up the caravan to get Chrissy who by this time was in her dressing gown and we came back down and had a look but it was gone. I did try to take a piccy of it but have not downloaded it yet as OH has been doing updates on my pc. If it has come out I will send it to you.

Had a lovely day at the beach yesterday and came back with some nice stones and a carrier bag full of drift wood. Want to make some things with it.
