Good Morning all! sunshine

Ariadne Thu 11-Oct-12 06:27:51

Good morning everyone. Have already had a whinge on "Today..." so that will do me for a while. Lots to do today, but not yet, oh Lord!

AlieOxon Wed 10-Oct-12 12:49:49

That's a thought.
My little gardener man has been up a ladder and cleared some of the ivy - trouble is he can't reach the stems that go to the roof!
What is needed is for these to be cut, and this is what I asked in my notes.....

I found the CAB, but it is closed today, wouldn't you know it. However I have a phone number.

annodomini Wed 10-Oct-12 10:47:18

Alie, the CAB just 'loves' neighbour issues - they are usually so hard to solve! I suggest a hefty dose of powerful weedkiller on a dark night....grin

jeni Wed 10-Oct-12 10:47:13

kitty
Didn't have time to commiserate and congratulate.
I promise we left Brum in as good nick as we found it! Probably better atmosphere for our visit!
Back to work.

AlieOxon Wed 10-Oct-12 10:25:44

Kitty - flowers - congratulations and sympathy.

Dull here in Oxon. Not actually raining - maybe I can dig a bit later.
I plan to go to the library, since I have run out of the books my sister brought, and also to investigate the new address of the CAB, as I have problems with my neigbours' ivy on my house..........they are very reclusive and haven't answered my notes!

My best neighbour is away in Spain (nice if you can do it - her son and family are there) but we plan to shop when she is back.

kitty, happy anniversary to you and your OH. It will be tinged with sadness but will also be a day to remember the happier times. flowers

kittylester Wed 10-Oct-12 09:41:31

Have lovely day Grannyeggs It's really gloomy here, about right for a funeral, but that is actually in Birmingham, assuming Brum is in one piece after last Saturday's get together! grin

Thank you all for your kind wishes. flowers

Grannyeggs Wed 10-Oct-12 09:17:08

kitty congratulations on your 42 years, and I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend. flowers
I have been swimming and am going to Pilates in an hour, then I' m off to meet a friend for lunch. Beautiful day here.

Oldgreymare Wed 10-Oct-12 09:14:44

Kittylester Celebrate your anniversay and your friendship as your friend would have wanted. sunshine

Marelli Wed 10-Oct-12 09:03:22

Frosty start to the day here, too. After a few beautifully sunny days, the sky is now starting to cloud over ready for not very nice weather to come.
kittylester, a bittersweet day for you, but how good to have a precious friend in your life for so long. I hope the day goes well. flowers

bikergran Wed 10-Oct-12 08:56:28

Morning all smile hope your day goes to plan what ever your plan is!
KittyLester as OP a mixed day for you...take care.

I am off into the garden in a mo, DH has a mixture of "jobs" lined up for me ..hmm

kittylester Wed 10-Oct-12 08:43:37

Better than the alternative, Ella. Enjoy but be careful.grin

jeni Wed 10-Oct-12 08:42:00

Damp! Work! Goodbye!

Ella46 Wed 10-Oct-12 08:20:37

A dull day here so far, I am planning to go back to my exercise class this morning to gently start stretching my bad back.
I really notice how much I stiffen up when I can't go, don't like this ageing stuff! hmm

Ella46 Wed 10-Oct-12 08:17:46

Kitty Congratulations flowers and sunshine for your sadness.

glassortwo Wed 10-Oct-12 08:07:12

Goodmorning all sunshine but we also need a frosty emoticon up here.

kitty Happy Anniversary but also a sad day for you today.

Greatnan Wed 10-Oct-12 07:28:40

It must be quite dark when you wake, Bags. My body clock works on daylight, so I woke a little later today. Autumn has come very quickly - Juragran will notice a big change in the foliage when she gets home next Monday. It is very beautiful, but rain is forecast for the rest of the week, so my walks will be restricted.
Best wishes to all of you having a special occasion today.
I was very touched yesterday to receive a phone call from an English friend of Juragran's, who lives in this area, just checking I was not too lonely. I have met her only once, at a party here last December. How kind most people are.

Butternut Wed 10-Oct-12 07:22:54

Oh kitty Congratulations flowers. A mixed day for you, but you sound ready to embrace both happiness and some sadness.

JessM Wed 10-Oct-12 07:19:57

Aw kitty hope the funeral goes well.

janeainsworth Wed 10-Oct-12 07:19:52

Kitty Congratulations on your 42 years and also I am sorry for the loss of your friend. flowers

Bags Wed 10-Oct-12 07:05:43

A day of mixed emotions, then, kitty. Mostly good ones, I hope. flowers

kittylester Wed 10-Oct-12 06:25:20

Today is our 42nd wedding anniversary smile. I still don't know how that happened. One minute you are dancing the Gay Gordons (cue great hilarity from children!!) the next you have five children, 4.5 grandchildren, 4 sort of grandchildren and a really old dog!

We are also going to the funeral of a friend who has been in our lives for more than those 42 years. sad

AlieOxon Sat 06-Oct-12 11:59:57
