David liked your reply about the owl!! OH thought it very good too.

We had a huge Chinese dinner tonight as it was OH's birthday today.

We went to Hols for the dinner and only saw one firework all the way there and as we turned a corner at Brandis Corner a man let one off at the side of the road just as we passed so I missed it really.

Morning,

Well it rained cats and dogs in the night. Now the sun is out again. Not many leaves left on the trees now either. I think there was a storm around because as I lay in bed and looked out the window I am sure I saw lightening in the distance.

Jane

Jane Report 7 Nov 2010 09:42

Morning Mel and all
Well the sun is shining but I can also see some very fine rain.It's very odd.some drops of rain look a bit sleety .There was a frost too first thing.
Chris is off with Chester so I am slumming it in my nightclothes for a while longer.

Jane

Jane Report 7 Nov 2010 12:57

Where are you all????.
I bet Maureen has a sore throat this morning after all that singing she was going to be doing last night lol.

Frank Report 7 Nov 2010 12:59

Jane, I still am.!!!! had a shower and shave, pur my dressing gown back on, sat and read the paper with two cups of tea, now Ros has bought me in a coffee.
I have prepared all the veg for dinner later, so not been that idle.
Didn't know about birthday BOY. happy returns, better late than never.

Still haven't worked out how to get my pictures from camera to computer. I sat till after midnight last night. When I went to bed a lay thinking about it. Didn't get off till passed 3am.

Loverly morning/afternoon here. Sun shine a few white clouds, "hanging on the breeze to dry."

Mandy are you off to the coast today. will be nice with the wind blowing in your face.

Very quite here lastnight with fireworks. even though it was a clear night. I suppose the cost of them, makes younger families a bit careful what they spend.

Still looking for my SON# E book reader. lost one this morning by £2.00. there are loads more, so will have to be patient. As you all know I CAN !!!!

Jane Report 7 Nov 2010 14:25

Frank it was very quiet here last night too.Thank goodness.
The owl is still there.Chris saw it sat on the fence post again.
Frank I left a message on Safewings answer phone but they haven't got back to me.
Just about to dish up grub.A kind of Indian meal.Lord knows what it will be like.
I will do a Roast in the week ,before Hannah goes of to London to start her new job.Make sure she has had a good feed lol.She will be flat sitting for a friend for 2 weeks so at least she won't need to worry about commuting.

The sun is shining now.But is a little chilly.I hope you can get those photos sorted Frank.

Jane Report 7 Nov 2010 15:34

Oh Frank! you have done it!!!!
What great photos.I want to live where you are lol.I think I would spend all my time down by the canal.

Brilliant photo's Frank, they reminded me of Tiverton Canal. I used to go there to an old lady whose garden went down to the water, and Canal boats like the one in the photo went up and down, some on day cruises and others with people on holiday. It always looked such a nice thing to do. Lovely day here, clouding over now a bit.OH is watching motor racing of some sort, and I'm vaguely looking up odds and ends; (No Mel, NOT Jane Restall!!!) I seem to have come to a bit of a grinding halt with my tree, will have to go off into in-laws!!! Mind you talking of Jane R, I think she and John Lane moved to either Reading or Henley in the 1870's!! If you were feeling bored Mel?!!!!!!
Talked to Laura (daughter) today, she rang me to tell me that Polly came 6th in her Floor Work and Bar (?!) at a Gymnastic competition at ?(I can't remember where she said it was!!) I was really pleased for P, as she works so hard at it all and is, (though I say it myself) very talented. Made us feel cheerful. Lovely lunch too, Roast Chicken and usual veg so nothing more to do today except a snack!
