We have had a little light rain here today but it is still quite bright.

Garden center just rang to say my new fairies are in and I can go and collect them when I want to. OH is going to take me today, this afternoon, in a minuet!!!!! So excited ............ I am like a child when it comes to fairy things. Silly I know but it is my escape.

Catie not far from Clovelly really. 13 miles to bideford and not far from there. Can't remember where you said you lived!! Was it London?? I am in Buckland Filleigh. Do a search on Buckland House which they let and you can see the big house which I can see from my back door as I live in the veg garden that used to belong to the house. OUr village church is next door to Buckland House.

NN not here to-day--
poor Sheila must have sick Comp--she will be lost without it-I know I'am--

Been shopping today, BHS has a jewlery sale on , buy 1 get 1 free so I bought a few earings and bangles in my favourite colours, pink, turquiose, and blue.
Been to see dad this afternoon, he was outside in the garden playing with a ball passing it to one of the students who is training there.
it was very warm and he had his hat and jacket on. they can't get him to take them off. he was going on about his working days and kept saying that the people here kept asking him to do odd jobs but he had not been paid yet , he wasn't happy at all . oh dear I said I would have a word with them about it LOL!!!

Tracy - FROZEN MILK!!!
We don't get our milk delivered daily and I don't drive so I can't carry milk up from the shops every day , so on a friday night when OH takes me to the supermarket we buy 4 2 pint bottles of milk and store them in the freezer so when we need milk we just take a bottle out and defrost it.

Hi David thank you for that idea thats great why did I not think of that. I saw the repair man today and I am not paying his bill not the amount he says he wants. He only cleaned up a few files .Do hope Ralph is feeling better.

Shirl borrowing someone elses computor now tried mine earlier it was flashing like mad .my son came and lent me his He works all the while and does not use it. The keyboard is different though. He said he would help me get another for Christmas I might do what David said.

I was panicking earlier the repair guy said it will cost
£100 to put right and it may go wrong again. Im new to computors but this one was my daughters shes got a lap top.

Sheila, the computer I'm using I bought off ebay.
Less than £20 plus carriage.
I bet that's less than his bill.
The low price of mine was due to 2 reasons,
it's not a modern model (Who cares?) and it was bought in an ebay auction.
Search under computing on the ebay under computer tower or PC tower.
Good luck.

David I have written it down so will have a look it does not
matter if it is not modern just want one that works thank you
so much David.

Nothing around when I went to bed. Ros said when she looked out it had clouded over.
Did you all receive my bit about Mars. on 27th August (My sons birthday) should be a special sight. Lets hope we cabn all see it !!!!

Artistic, or what Mel, Driftwood and pebbles should make a great feature on you decking.????

High Jane Looks like I will stay Jane now I have my brothers computor bless him and David was sweet to advise me how to get another one. I hope things will improve just have to carry on. I went out to look for stars shooting not a star in the sky just lots of black clouds and grey. It rained all day and today and i just sat painting and
the day past quickly It is annoying when straps break or things off shoes

Cobblers are only open on tues days and wednesdays now so I will have to take sandals in next week.
Frank,James said he saw one huge shooting star after I had gone to bed.He said it came over in an arc.Yes ,got your email.Lets hope for a clear night.I wonder what the chances are?It should be amazing.
The sun is shining now after a miserable day.James is just setting off to drive to his girlfriend in Kent.Her mother is having a Christmas Party tomorrow night !!!!!!!!!!.I think she is a bit barmy lol.We were all invited ,but unfortunately have other engagements (NOT).

You won't believe it, but I posted the above at about 10am this morning. Just opened up again and there it is, Only 8 hours late.

Jane, have you had the rain today???? It started this morning and has rained all day. It was so bad this afternoon that it was blowing in throught a top window in the kitchen. The worktop was soaked. Still very overcast now. so might get a bit more.

Harvey, my eldest son, the landscape gardener, does a lot of work for a very rich family. It's his birthday on the 27th August, and they bought him a present. ONLY THE TOP OF THE RANGE "I PAD"!!!!!. He was almost in tears when he opened it. Cost £800.00. Lewis said "Dad can we share it" when Harvey said NO. Lewis wouldn't speak to him. He arrived in France last night, after driving down. He won't fly. But as he said. If he flew down he would need to hire a car for three weeks, so this is cheaper. and he will bring the family back, at the end of the month. So that another big saving.

Might go for a pint tonight.
