  • Afternoon, came home from work early as OH rang to say starting to snow heavily. had finished teaching, so came home to do marking. Came up the hill behind the gritter. Still snowing but blowing around a lot. Perhaps I'll be snowed in tomorrow.



    Jo, perhaps your daughter will get interested in gardening too.

    That didnt last long! image Do need to finish it though as nurse coming tomorrow image

    Lottie- am puzzled as to why she thought I'd react differently? I kept saying wish she'd find her own place! Ok usually in a fit of temper, but she was at uni for 6 yrs, lived away the next 2, so it was instant clash of very similar personalities over lots of things. OH & me had got used to the relative peace & me especially with him working away & previously all hours he could. Am quite happy with my own company. Neighbours on hand if an emergency.

    Oh I could go on at length, just as any parent would, about all the annoying things/ habits she has. She certainly does about mine! image Am just glad that she's finally decided to make the jump onto the property ladder. Just hope that it all works out ok.

    Have been mentally thinking what things she can take with her..... just as our parents did to us! image

    Right, I really must finish off that bit of cleaning, rest shall wizz through tomorrow before get 'got' by nurse!

    Back later. J.

    What a lot of posts and news and I've only been out for an afternoon!

    Becks- hope all was well at docs and you now have magic medicine. I find our receptionists are OK but then I don't see them very often

    Jo - what great news, a shame you couldn't join in from the beginning but may be it was for the best. Wish No 2 son would go, Just think you'll have somewhere to put all those cuttings you have too many of, and oodles of advice if she wants it. And we are all here to listenimage if you need a cyber ear

    Something is coming out of the sky but it is rain. My have snow on hills by morning

    Dreadful jokes geoff Straight out of crackers image

    L had just phoned me from Wilkinson asking for directiions to the solar lights. Sold out though.

    Glyn- she is interested! image Has already been asking what cuttings can I do, which shrubs etc will cope where. I suspect the hardest bit will be trying to wait 12 mths to see what is actually there before she starts anything radically different.

    I do know that there are apple trees, about which I know nothing, so questions will be asked on here! This is where I wish Dad was still around to ask...he did know about those. Ooh just had a thought, OH said he wanted to grow vegetables... image J.

  • Geoff....Your clue is a dead giveaway!.............Snowmobile! image

    Jo my daughter and I spent a lot of time disagreeing with each other for much the same reasons as you say - we are very similar. She moved out about 2 years ago and first i relished the peace, then I actaully missed the rows, Now she rings me for advice. Although we are not as close as I wish now, at least we are not hating each other. And if she has a problem - eg car crash - it is us she asks for help

    We are so alike she described a jumper she had bought the baby, telling me not to buy one only it is exactly the same as one I had already bought!image

    She yearns for a garden but with the current clinate doesn't stand a chance f them getting their own house, so living in a flat.

    Saw this in the paper today-A Royal Ode

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      Dust your pantry, move your jugs.

    Prepare for tea towels, spoons and mugs,

    there’s news to make you weep with mirth

    We’ve got another royal birth

    Our austere country need not grieve,

    for William’s missus can conceive.

    Yea, every other story’s guff

    ’cos someone’s up the Royal duff

    Iran and Israel may soon be nuking

    but we’re ­obsessed with morning puking,

    forget our youth who can’t find work

    and take a look at Witchell’s smirk

    Pray, go and tell your auntie Mabel

    to forget the boy born in a stable,

    ’cos Kate’s had a tweet from Barack Obama

    and a Facebook message from the Dalai Lama

    Who cannot wait to see the pics

    of little baby’s early tricks?

    The snappers too will catch our Kate

    not though when she doth lactate

    This proud arrival will change our nation

    it truly is a bless’d creation,

    for next in line it will be third

    even if it’s born a bird.
