She said she was glad they were eaten, but please return the pot ( washed please) now they were trying to thank you in some way, so to day they released the 18 silver and purple balloons they had in the hall, so if you see a ballon that is either silver or purple you will know who it's from ( now this is true) not virtual. Sandra I spoke to our friend Vince he has refurbished a couple of narrow boats and motor homes, Ann has Parkinson's and so he know that she needs a rises toilet, he said if you make a box to the height plus 8 to 10 ins extra require it raised, make it to fit snug to the toilet but place the base board that 8-10 ins from the top strengthening underneath it should work the box can be used when you are travelling for packing things that it wouldn't matter that the toilet has been used init. He hopes it works, also if Paul is good at wood work he could make another strong box to go beside the toilet to hold stuff that is heavy but you could hold on to when getting up off the toilet, as Ann needs that. It's a pity you wheel chair couldn't adapt so that it could be made into a commode?

I don't know why, I'm not fond of house plants and certainly not orchids, but my nieces gave me one three years ago and it's still going strong, so other people have bought me them at various times. How do you say to someone that you're not keen on them? I couldn't be so rude, so now I have 5!!!! <br />I'm going to wallow - like a walrus - in the bath, then go to bed and read, so I'll bid you all a fond goodnight and see you tomorrow.<br />Tomorrow morning one of the young mother's from Eleanor & Zoe's school is calling and taking me out for the morning - we get on very well and her mam passed away some time ago, so I give her a cuddle now and again because that it what she misses - she is not in the best of health. I don't know if I'll get in before I go out. That's a bit confusing but I know what I mean.<br />Night, night, sweet dreams, if you get up to any mischief I'll read all about it in the morning!!!<br />Love Muriel xxx (still trying to think of a porta loo solution!!Maureen Killenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706260334646673279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-63287712747487883012015-08-02T20:52:09.417+01:002015-08-02T20:52:09.417+01:00Oh Muriel!

Before the rain came down, Thomas (10) climbed up the ladder to clean out the gutters. John was going to do, I was to hold the ladder. Thomas said "grandpa your too old, and your knees are too bad to be doing that, I'll do it" That was Grandpa told!!! Thomas went up the ladder, did a fantastic job. Before you start to panic too much, we live in a Bungalow. Still a fair climb up for a young lad. We did not know they were coming, Robert phoned to see if they could come along. Dad was going to B&Q, they did not want to go. John took them home just after 5pm.<br />Since they went I have been working on a Lantern. Saba mentioned doing one with one of Sue's Striplet Dies. I used Country Blossom Die (I think that what it's called) I am sitting with my feet up, can't be bothered getting up. I made it in Kraft Card, it's Tall & Narrow looks quite good actually. There you go Saba it can be done. I have one of Sue's new Christmas Dies, it's squarish with a circle with Santa in a Sleigh in the middle. I am going to have a go with that next. <br />I am yawning like fury here, I can feel myself nodding off.<br />There's no plan for any "high jinks" tonight is there??

One train ran into the back of another train, well the train that was hit from behind was being driven by our very good friend he has rang to say don't worry he is fine, no injuries. The strange thing is a few years ago he was involved in another accident, he was out checking the line after a storm and a tree crashed right in front of his train and went through the window. Luckily he jumped the other side of his cab and was only slightly injured but the accident yesterday was in exactly the same place! <br />I note Myra you have no more trips organised for us tonight but there is no mention of how your lunch went today, I hope there was no gravy spilled! Saba is cooking lamb henrys so if you need the recipe why not ask her but she is making some funny kind of dumpling too, so as she is having wine to wash it all down perhaps better wait until tomorrow to ask her just in case she gets the two recipes mixed up, you know what she is like! <br />I wonder if Sandra has found her porta loo yet.<br />I will be back later to see who is in.<br />xxxMargaret corgi ownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044940577122022288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-52350373631363704622015-08-02T19:33:37.475+01:002015-08-02T19:33:37.475+01:00Oh Muriel poor George fancy expecting him to go ba...Oh Muriel poor George fancy expecting him to go barefoot and I would be careful about kicking him or he may not make it to his bowling matches and give you some peace and quiet! xxxMargaret corgi ownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044940577122022288noreply@blogger.com
