I really think the Camerons must be allowed to call their new baby whatever name they choose, after all its THEIR baby and not the state's. I don't actually think it has too anything to do with any of us, any more than it has to do with them what we call our children!! No doubt they will diplomatically have a Cornish name there somewhere, for fear of causing offence!!!! Just a thought!

Maureen she does have a sister Sandra wears a fur coat and a big hat but is not dotty like Beryl .Beryls not mad just essentric everything she does or says is over the top Sandra will copy Beryl because she thinks shes wonderful
Sandra is very shy never says much at all. Beryl goes down to the bullring to see her friend Moses a coloured man he saves her fish heads for her cat Topsy and gets her a nice bit of skate for her tea she says. I only once ever came back on the bus with her and that stinky fish. Well enough of her Im back to painting the other door in the kitchen going to try the onions because the smell effects my sinuses and I get a headache had a operation on my nose did not do much good. I think I will look for none smelly paint. Hope Alfie is well loved the latest pictures such a sweet little kitty how she doing now. On the computor web they have Clarence Cliff pepper pots for £95 pound so should have shut my mouth and not moaned about the £22 one. Have a nice Evening. Shirl do not know what you meant about me painting myself the kitchen is looking nice but do cover myself in paint. Jasper is fine Shirl thank you he trotted in with a apple fell from the tree earlier and chewed it up all over the floor. Oh the mention of the M6 was stuck for ages on that last Christmas I hate it. What hospital does Ros go to Frankhope she will be ok.

I must say I cannot not understand the fuss over the Camerons we know who he is of course and it was sad what happened but many people loose babies and have another so whats all the fuss about I lost one a little girl but got over it and now have two lovely daughters who I am most proud of. I agree let her call her daughter whatever she likes and I doubt she will ever forget the baby she lost. well off to do my two hours in the shop and then more painting .

You're okay Frank, have been getting my pension for a couple of years already. If I have to keep going back to the vets I will try the RSPCA.

We had a cat called Topsy when I was little. Well it was originally Tom but a more knowledgable relative said no that's definitely a she so she ended up from Tom to Topsy. Not a very nice cat I remember, you could be nicely stroking her then all of a sudden she would go for you, perhaps it was the trauma of being mistaken for a boy and being called Tom ....lol

What's all this about the Camerons baby? Didn't see the news yesterday.

Gosh you have been busy posting.

I have been running atound after mum. got the lunch ready so she could be ready for the hairdresser at 2pm. then she did'nt turn up till 3pm and said the appointment was for 2.30 to 2.45pm. Anyway mum did'nt feel up to having her hair washed so she just had it reshaped with the hot brush.

Have been washing toms and things for my little table and picked about 16 lbs victoria plums yesterday so have those to do as well. Gave some to the cleaner so I don't have soooo many to sort through. There are still loads on the trees!!

Doing pork loin for dinner with bacon on top and sage leaves. I do them like little medalions and fry them. Shall have pots and broccoli with them. Mum won't want them but I have a nice sausage roll for her. She likes them.

Off to get the fly swat now as one keeps landing on me and I don't like that!!!!!!

NEWS BULLITIN.

David and Samantha Cameron have named their new baby daughter Florence Rose Endellion, Downing Street said.

Cornish name for Cameron daughter

Endellion refers to the Cornish village of St Endellion, close to where they are holidaying and which Mr Cameron has visited over the years.

Downing Street said that the couple had received congratulatory messages from the Queen, the Prince of Wales, Gordon and Sarah Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Mr Cameron spent the night at the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro where his new daughter was delivered by Caesarean section on Tuesday.

The couple's two elder children, six-year-old Nancy and four-year-old Arthur Elwen, have now visited their sister for the first time.

Our beans are listing badly after all the wind and rain!! Managing to pick a few more now though. They are always so expensive in the shops and sometimes stringy.

OH went back to the dentist and has been given antibiotics. I don't know......first the dentist never gave him any information about his extractions yesterday and today the chemist issued antibiotics without any patient leaflet enclosed or instruction to take them with food which you should with Amoxicillin. NHS cuts??

Sheila, you have me wondering now which of Mel and me you thought was my OH?? lol If we looked like my OH I would be worried......he has no hair and a beard!!! lol
