Dutch please don't think i was ignoring you on here yesterday afternoon, but I had spoken about Cloe with you in the morning and I didn't come back on. How is she this morning, better I'm hoping, and you yourself are you ok because it is one more worry on you, anyway you know where I am, anytime.

I went to a choir concert today. It was great fun. It was called 'The olympics curtain call'. Before the audience was allowed into the church, one of the choir members came to me with a slip of paper and said they wanted an audience member to take the oath on behalf of audience and spectators, would I do it? So I said yes.

When the audience was seated one of the choir members said the oath for the choristers, then the conductor said his oath, then I was called up. I had to say : On behalf of all the audience and spectators I promise that we shall commit ourselves to ensuring the success of this concert and that we uphold our end of the bargain. We will engage in the spirit of concert, cheering, applauding and laughing at anything even remotely funny at all times. (At that point I looked at the conductor who was beside me, and gave a deep chortle - I think I took him by surprise, he wasnt expecting it). It continued: It is likely that most of the audience are taking performance enhancing drugs and steroids, but...that's normal these days and nobody else's business. I will ensure fair play is upheld in accordance with the fundamental principles of (the choir's) concerts and while some swearing will be tolerated, sleeping is not an option.

The choir sang songs from shows representing various contries. They were all enjoying themselves and I think the audience did too. I certainly did.

Nearly forgot Happy Birthday to Ann for tomorrow hope you have a lovely day with lots of cards and presents, enjoy your weekend with your daughter and family hope she is feeling so much better...
love Jean xxxxx <3 <3 <3 <3

Joyce we are keeping Chloe and all your family close in our prayers, only just come back on , Vertigo again... hopefully you will hear some good news soon, <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
also hoping Linda is feeling better too. I have struggled to get this latest attack under control, and feel washed out... but much better than I did.... something we have to live with I fear, for me the excersises are a god send as they do work eventually... but the nausea and lack of balance is very draining....
so onwards and upwards, looking forward to our holiday in our favourite place in Sept... but hope to get a few trips out before then weather and head permitting...
hope the majority of you all are keeping well and tckity boo :-D
Caz p.m. sent so all my news in that.... <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Love and hugs to all our friends over the water... and of course everyone else, especially my pal Mo, who seems to behaving herself at the moment cant see it lasting thogh.....lol....special hugs for Roly hope she is looking after you .... <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
cuppa served up so will be back later hopefully... take care everyone......
love and prayers Jean <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 xxx

Sleep well Caz. Thinking of you <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi girls, what a day, it''s been so hot, It would be better to build up slowley instead of just hitting us with the heat. I went for the chemo this afternoon and had all the talks and got the tablets, so Mo I start taking the first ones tomorrow, I have two different ones to take and some anti sickness tablets if I need them. Three weeks course with two on and one off, completely different to what I thought it would be. That's for three months and I will be checked again. It's been a busy day and I am so tired I am falling asleep writing this lol so I am packing up now.

Caz

Oh Huia, dont be a spoilsport, why should we be good and behave ourselves, we have done that all our lives, and lifes to short, so lets go for it girls, and all have a naughty day tomorrow.
I think I will go out and splash the cash, and buy myself something nice. That will scare the pants off Roly. lol
Then I think if we have another really hot day, I may do a lady Godiver, and strip off and scare the neighbours. ( well I might take me winter vest off or something like that) just to be a little devil.
There shouldn't be a problem with you getting your rates rebate surely, your circumstances have not changed since last year, have they.
I dread getting letters these days, they always seem to be for renewal of insurances on one thing or another. But I must keep the payments up, coz it would be just my luck if I cancelled them, something would break down.

Good grief Sylvia, I bet your OH was exhausted after clearing the beaten track to your cabin door.
Why is it, weeds seem to grow so much faster than flowers and any plant do.
I would love to see the Beavers doing their daily chores, chewing trees to pieces.
They are fascinating creatures to watch, but a real nightmare to woodlands. Thank goodness a tree didnt fall on your cabin.
Talking of strange weather events, I think the whole world has been suffering different climates to the norm.
We certainly have here in the U.K. Today has been a real scorcher, and the weekend should be the same, but then, it's supposedly going to change yet again.
We dont get the summers we had as children. During the school holidays, we were able to play outside in the good weather, but children cant do it these days, as nine out of ten school holidays, it rains.
I remember going to the beach with my parents nearly every weekend, when it was summer time.
I'd be afraid to take my grandchildren there now, as we would need to take,swimming gear and also welly boots and rain coats just in case. lo ;-)

Caz honey, I hope the chemo went o.k this afternoon, and that you dont suffer to many side effects.
Stay strong sweetie, and dont let the Bu**er beat ya.

Bye for now girls, love to all, Mo xxx

I spent another afternoon in the Hospice shop today. Spent more money too. A footstool which is just right for sitting here, a red silk scarf, and a couple of soft toys for our postie. $6 the lot.

Mo, you have seen the 4 gen photo on my FB page, havent you? Maybe I will post one of Phil there, but I probably wont leave it on too long.

Got my rates bill today so tomorrow morning I will go to Pukekohe to get my claim in for a rates rebate (fingers crossed that I still get it) and pay the first installment. I got my insurance (house & contents) bill a couple of days ago, almost double what it was last year, because of the Christchurch earthquakes. :-0

A builder will be coming one fine day next week to see if he can sort out the leak I had (in the window, presumably coming from the roof). The last couple of rainy days it hasnt seemed to leak, so I think it is connected with the direction of the wind. The builder says he might take one of the roofing sheets off to see if he can get to the bottom of it.

I will be off to bed soon, so behave yourselves while I am sleeping. Behave yourselves even when I am not. :-)

Huia.

Hi girls, I am ok Mo, I went to the hospital clinic on Wed and was there from 8am till 2pm, I had to have some blood taken and have it seen before I saw doc. It's not good but I'll put up with it. I go for my first chemo this afternoon, hope that goes ok.
Sylvia that weather would be too much for me, it is hot here but nothing like that, can't do with it too hot.
Right, going for my tea and toast.

Love Caz xx
