Congratulations David & Ellen on your 30th Anniversary, Have a nice evening
your one year behind me David , we had our 31st wedding Anniversary on the 3rd February off this year.

Thanks Mel Yes Matthew Corbet thats it. now I can stop my mind going round and round.

Just had a text from daughter no 2 saying that she and her boyfriend were staying into night so would not be down for dinner,
I will have the whole evening to myself, maybe do a bit of pamering , a small glass of white wine and soda( and looking forward to a good night sleep.)

David, You woudn't get 30 years for Murder now.
Anyway mate congratulations, I've done 32 years this time round !!!!

Still no word from my Son. !!!!!

Ros has had the big fan on all afternoon, now the cat's laid out in front of it.

Rain forcast for tonight, in this area.and again in the morning. We'll wait and see. It normally misses us !!!

Jane

Jane Report 19 Jul 2010 19:18

Big Fan whizzing here too Frank.The oven is on and making things even hotter.
Sorry you haven't heard from your son.You didn't really expect to did you.You can just carry on doing what you do.He can never say you don't bother.
Are we due thunder tonight ? it feels a bit like that.I hope not as I don't fancy sitting up with Chester and him barking and screaching all night.I need my beauty sleep.

No Mel ,no message from me.It's a real pain getting PM,s as I can only read them by going through Entourage.And then it says I have a message from ME to me!!!!!!!!!!!.What is that all about.

I how is everyone .Frank I use to go to a shop it was very dark inside but he sold
all sorts of records the owner. Johnny Ray he sang one song called Cry
and I would play it over and over really loud my dad popped his head in the door
one night and said turn that down he is making me cry. He came to the Birmingham Hipporome and I wanted to see him and had to ask dad if I could borrow some money to go he said do people pay to go and see him. Anyway
he lent me the money and I waited three hours to get a ticket because they had sold out and there were some cancellations and so I waited then got a seat but right at the back. He was great but he had a hearing aid and when I went home
I said to dad oh Johnny was wonderful but dad he is deaf Johnny had a hearing aid isnt it a shame dad just laughed and said no I am not surprised. But I had this big crush on him and used to say goodnight Johnny before I went to sleep
and kissed his photo
