Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers. I hope you all have a great day.
Do check back to last week's chat for OG's gorgeous wildflower garden pics And Lynette's pics of Dunedin & Hampton eaglets.
Linda - I love your pics of Tatton Park, especially autumn.
Alan -24 handbags!!!! Must be related to our Dau#2 who collects shoes & handbags. Me, I have one all-purpose go-everywhere shoulder bag. Plus the gold one OH gave me decades ago and saw the light of day at the weddings.
Brenda, Linda, Lynette, Joan, OG - On my first trip o/s I had a list of what to take. It helps remind me not to forget vital things like eye drops, film (nowadays it is memory cards & battery charger!). When I returned I noted what I didn’t use and now I check the amended list, pruning every trip. Why drag excess around? Invariably my room in B&Bs was on 2nd or3 rd floor. Besides I may buy things, such as jumpers - that’s my weakness. Stupid really because I knit them and the wardrobe is bursting. So, OG, I shall choose one of them. And camera almost lives in said all-purpose bag!
Joan - I heard a story of a local teacher who had 7 children in her class named "Amy" but all spelled differently.
Emma - I'm doing my best.
No can stop but pop in to have a quick read from time to time (does that make me a lurker :) ) Anyway, just to say I've managed to rope George G in (when he responds anyway) but I stilll can't find Auntie's avatar to click on. Is Auntie anyone's friend already?
OK Emma , Auntie is Tiger's friend and QW amongst others so she won't be lost
Oh, BTW :) a very good day to everyone I hope Wednesday is being good to you all.
Yep, Tiger. it's live. What wonderful news.
Can you explain why, if I have an avatar of a friend on one of my pages , they don't have mine?
Cirrus, Auntie is on page 12 of todays posts.
Oh, thanks Brenda. As happens , Auntie's ''safe'' as Tiger's and QW's friend (amongst others).
Can you explain to me why some of my friends do not have my avatar on their page. Is it because they may have changed their mind in regard to the friendship ? It's OK, I have broad shoulders in this regard. I'd rather have the truth .
Trish yes indeed a day for celebrating having had Mia for 3 years. Ny sister has a Springer who she has to leave when she is at work (she does shifts at a maternity hospital) butgit appears he just sleeps the time away and doesn't even get his toys out. Has been doing this ever since they have had him and he seems to have adapted well to the routine although he does have a bitg fuss made of him when she returns. Nice that Mia has been for a good walk this morning.
If you just click on the acceptance underneath the email friends will appear on the right hand side of your personal page and we will not lose these when the upgrade takes place.

I don't think that should happen Cirrus as if they reject you, they would vanish from your page. Have they not just moved to another page, as you are increasing your friends. Click on 'view all friends'.
Well, Yes I have Brenda - but I'm not on Lynette's page although she and I have been friends for ages (so long she is now on page 4 LoL) Nor am I on Tiger's !!! haven't checked all the rest. Lynette and Tiger I came across in all the frantic making of friends so no one is ''lost''. :(
PS Glad your mine :)

As Brenda has explained you just got so many friends now that they cannot fit on one page. To find out if anyone is a friend you got to look at their home page and it will then say either <remove username from friend list> if they are a friend. Or <add to friend list> if they are not a friend.

Cirrus You are definitely on my list but on page 4. I think that is because we been friends for a long time.
Good afternoon all and thanks for all the friendship requests, all accepted I hasten to add. Dull and dreary day here and it is trying to rain at the moment. Billy has decided to stay indoors after her initial play this morning when we let her in. She has found a good way to wind me up by tearing out through the conservatory door, coming in just as fast and then going to the living door and askng to go through when she promptly goes to the front door and miaows to be let out that way only to return seconds later through the conservatory door. Only played that game for a while though and eventually shut the living room door.
Annette so pleased you will be seeing Delilah soon and that you have enjoyed another concert. You will soon be catching up with me for outings. I will say too that you have been very insturmental in gathering us together in this group and I am sure when the dust settles after the upgrade we will find one another again.
Tiger I watch the cams on that Dutch website and find them very good as anthing you miss have been recorded. I wonder if it was the size of the prey giving the peregrine a bit of trouble. Had enough tries at geting it to the chicks and I thought if was slightly amusing watchig them and they seemed to be a bit baffled at what was going on.
patriciat can quite understand you would not want your OH in a care home for people who have those ourt of problems and hopefully Age Concern can help you out as I am sure it would do you both good and you would come back feeling refreshed.
Alan sorry to see that Hamish has interfered with his stitches. Hope you got on OK at the vet this morning. Thanks for the capture of the peregrine chicks at Manchester, real little balls of fluff.
trish 2 I don't have trouble with doves or piegeons eating all the food. It is the baby starlings who are so greedy and so messy. I sweep up and wash the patio down every day at the moment but within 10 minutes it looks the same again. For all that they do make me smile.
Lindybird hope the doctor has been able to help you, sorry to hear you had a bad night. We do worry though about anyone who is under the weather.
Barbara Jean please do stay with us although in a later post from you I see you have managed to get in through another link. I too have trouble with some aspects of computers and don't know where to turn for help. OH would help me but he goes through it all so fast I am none the wiser at the end of it. I think the mention of the word "upgrade" has worried quite a lot of us but fingers crossed we will work it out and things will remain good on the forums.
Diane do mind with your snakes out there I expect the warmer weather you seem to having is bringing them out. Thanks too for your positive thoughts re the upgrade. I just don't like changes at all in my life.
auntie nice to see a post from you and see that your weather has improved a lot. Thanks for the good news from your osprey nests, all seems to be going well there.
BrendaH guess it is going to be an exciting day for your OH's sisters dauthter in law with a birth imminent. wishing everything goes well for Mum and Baby and of course Dad.
OG pleased you have sorted out what to wear for the wedding. Best to go in what you feel comfortable in. Have to say I find it hard to buy clothes for myself. Most stores only seem to cater for younger people and nothing looks worse than someone my age dressing in clothes which are really only suitable for younger people. I have a couple of outfits which I got for weddings which I like to think are timeless and still look good on me, the only trouble is they are quite dressy so not often worn and can't see another wedding coming up in the family for a few years now.
dibnlib I agree about prescriptions and that those who can afford to pay should pay. It would help the NHS out a bit. You are so luckly to have a NHS dentist, there are none around here at all and going privately has become a very expensive business/
Lynette tnanks for your captures.
AQ I am so hoping that this upgrade will not change the way we chat about all and everything. Would be such a shame if it does because there a lot of great people on here at the moment. Not long now till your Europe trip, bet you are looking forward to it.
Wattle nice to see you again.
Heather B have probably missed you but have a great time in Germany and what a lovely post to patriciat.
