Oohh - and your breakfasts are always delicious too CYNTHIA !! ;-) :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

I have done that before Cynthia - mixing up your name with Sylvia's haven't I ??

I don't mix up the two of you as 'people' but my fingers often type one name instead of the other :-D :-D - I think it is because they both end in an 'ia'.

Anyway, I have smacked my hands and made them correct it above. ;-) :-D :-D

Hope OH's cough settles soon,

Dea Xxx

P.S. glad you liked grand-daughters little 'tale of Wigan' folk' ......

Dea Xxx

Oh yes......Dea........


love our story!!!!

Good morning all....... :-D


You is getting me 'muggled' up with Sylvs Dea.......just remember, I don't do delicious breakfasts - that's our Sylvs who is clever. It's her leg too..... :-D :-D :-D



Jonesey.....(((hugs))) <3 <3 <3 <3 Please keep us posted.


Thankfully, OH's chest was clear so he has some linctus to help calm the cough. I hope it works soon as the spasms can be very dramatic....or maybe that's because he's a man ;-)


Because we now have separate rooms with a baby alarm to link us, I am getting wakened by what sounds like a seal barking very very loudly. Yep. That's what the cough sounds like when echoed through the alarm!!! Quite startling at 2am I can tell you!


Housework and then take my friend out - unless it's raining.....Be good.~~

Good morning all :-)

It is dark and VERY windy here and the rain is beating down (or sideways at the moment because of the wind ;-) ) :-(

Thanks for the lovely breakfast Sylvia and I am glad that 'it' has now gone from your leg <3

Jonesey,

I will be thinking of you and your No1 son and wish him a speedy recovery - Hope all goes well <3 <3 <3

Sending HUGS to all who need them <3 <3 <3

Hi,

I am expecting the next couple of days to be a bit stressful.

You may recall that my No1 son was diagnosed with a heart condition (WPW Syndrome) last April. Basically this is a second electrical contact pathway within the heart which causes an erratic and sometimes chaotic heartbeat.

Since then and now this has been controlled with Beta Blocker drugs taken daily but the doctors have decided that it is preferable to take more positive action. So he will be admitted at the Q.E Hospital in Birmingham tomorrow morning to have a procedure known as Ablation carried out. Basically this involves wires being passed into the heart via an artery in the groin. Once there the ends of the wires are heated by radio frequency and this heat "Ablates", (Destroys) the second electrical pathway. The procedure is carried out with the patient under general anaesthetic and usually takes anywhere between 3 and 5 hours.

Although the procedure is relatively low risk and is usually 100% successful, as any parent would be, I shall be on edge until he is safely through it and back home once again.

Thank you, Gins and Dea xxx

Happy Birthday Sylvs. <3 <3 <3

Dea Xxx

Oh Sylvs....Happy Birthday

we went out to dinner last night, just to our local bistro


it was my birthday, and our "tradition" is that the birthday person is taken out to a restaurant that we have never been to, and usually that is an expensive one

But, I just didn't feel like a slap-up meal.

So we went to the bistro, and I had a lovely lamb shank with roast potatoes, asparagus, carrots, broccoli, and a delicious dark gravy. It was wonderful :-D



This afternoon, I go to the dermatologist to have the basal cell cancer on my shin scraped off. I'm not looking forward to that!

Hi all
xxx


it's drizzling here ...... and the temperature is very mild, at around 7C

That's while most of the rest of the country is having very low temperatures.

Weird!

:-D :-D :-D

:-D

Grand-daughter had a friend over for a visit the other week and her mother picked her up from their house afterwards.

They were both quite 'oriental looking' but not obviously chinese or japanese. Son was a bit curious as to where they originated and so asked grand-daughter where 'J' came from. (They are quite good at the school and follow these places on the map and grand-daughter knows she has classmates from Nigeria, China, India, Australia etc. so he expected her to know).

She replied that her friend was English so son said that perhaps her mother was from another country?

'Russia' replied grand-daughter! - That didn't quite seem right and then grand-daughter remembered that it was her father that was from Russia which seemed to make more sense. Son said that perhaps her mother was from Korea??

Anyway, the other day grand-daughter came home SO excited saying 'dad' - 'I know where 'J's mother comes from!!' - 'Where' said dad?? and grand-daughter proudly announced...........













..............WIGAN !!!

Well, as you can imagine, son had to stifle his hysterics as grand-daughter questioned him on where Wigan was and what was so funny about her reply.... all he could tell her was that it was about 2 hours up the road!! ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D

Perhaps you know her Cynths ???

Dea Xxx

Nice to you Linds~~~~~

Today has been very mild, 10c

I reckon we'll be in for bad weather in Feb/March

Still, the days are getting longer

Thank you for the extra 'celebration breakfast' Cynths <3 <3

Hope OH is feeling better and you manage to go for a lovely lunch :-D

Dea Xxx

Linds,

That is not good! - I am sure there are rules in place with regard to minimum temperatures required in places where small children are looked after.

They should not have had them there with no heating! :-0

I hope she settles back down again there soon, AND that the heating is now working.!!!
