Yes Theresa I had that prob getting on boards, complained to GR But all they could say was they hadn't experienced the problem....it was exactly the same prob as yours so glad I wasn't alone !!


It was a glorious Bank Holiday here lovely weather sat out in the garden at our daughters bunglaow, had champagne, 8 weeks to their wedding now....looking forward to it so much, she will be a lovely bride. Hope your wedding goes welll Bridget thinking of you

4pm Norfolk

Pleased to hear the bank out wasn't a wash out everywhere GF.

Tess we have been to that part of the lovely coast four times now, before that had not really visited that part. Hope to return some time next year.

Val, when I think of rusks I think of the sort we uased to give babies to chew on. Are they like that, quite thick and fairly hard until chewed when they go soft. :-) :-)

Hi everyone, I am still having trouble getting passed page one on the boards here.
Driving me mad!!!
Have put this at the bottom of page one, hoping that it will t/f itself to page 70.
I haven't been able to read your recent posts.

Keeping everything crossed, that this may be one way to get to the last postins on this thread. hope I am making sense.

Tess

Great... Ive got here!
Haven't been able to get on the Help Board to contact Genes about this problem. But has been happening for quite a few days now.
I am NOT having trouble on other sites I use.

Hi All
I too have had probs Tess - just about to give up when hey presto I managed to get the last page !!
Well today is cloudy but still on the warm side. Yesterday I was not well nor was Hubby. He had already got an appointment to see the doctor so went with 2 problems instead of one. Early Tuesday morning he worke up with a stiff neck then it went into his shoulder he could not even get dressed on his own - my problem was the other end and I spent a lot of time in the little room. Enough said about that. Anyway hubby came home with medicine so hopefully that will sort out his problem - he thinks he pulled a muscle whilst swimming on Sunday. But I had a much better night last night and did not wake up until 10.15 am - hubby having already gone to work.
Could I ask you to think of my mom tomorrow please as she is back to see a specialist with regards to her problems - collapsed lung etc.
Well hope you are all well I am off to have a lazy day - yes, another one !!!
Love Mary xx

Lovely day here, was quite cold early this morning though.

Ann, the rusks are quite hard we usually dunk them in our coffee. I have only made them once before but they are quite easy to make so I will carry on making them.

Hope all goes well for your Mom when she sees the specialist Mary, will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. We all need a lazy day from time to time so enjoy! Hope your husband is on the mend.

If the garden service doesn't come to cut the lawn to-day I think we will be to have African safaris in the yard!

To-day was another birthday tea - it is no wonder I look like I do, it's all the lovely goodies we have at all these birthdays.

Thinking of you Maryinsun hope everything goes OK with your Mum.

Weather here still balmy...tho wind cool at times. Got my pre-op assessment done on Tuesday, and am booked in for next Monday at 11 am for an afternoon op....getting meals done for my OH I know he can cook, but he will be under pressure visiting me and fielding phone calls, so do not want him eating a load of rubbish !!.... I have also made some meals for us to have when I get home, that will only need a veg. Our veg in the garden are growing well, won't be too long before we have courgettes....mind you OH is having to water every evening, no rain forecast for any time soon

10.55 am Norfolk UK

Just got to tell you all the good news - my mom has seen the specialist and he thinks she had pnuemonia (spelling ?) which caused a small abssis (spelling yet again ?) at the bottom of her lung but said he did not want to see her again unless ofcourse she started to feel unwell. I am so relieved you cannot imagine. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers they obviously worked. All I need now is for hubby's shoulder to get better which it is slowly. Thanks again.
Love from a HAPPY Mary xx

I had just about given up, had tried to get on here a few times earlier this evening with no luck.

Thought that I would have one last try before going to bed. And Hay Presto (as they say). Now that I AM here, I can't remember what I wanted to say.

Hope to have a good nights sleep so that I can come back tomorrow nice and fresh (with an intact memory too, I hope).

My local college is now closed to customers till late September.
So I will have a long wait before I get such value for money pampering again.
Maybe I will treat the garden to something instead.

Mary in Spain that IS good news about your Mum, must be a weight off your shoulder. I bet she is pretty relieved too.

By the way, I did have a response from the powers that be in GR
I am using an old browser, that is why I have a problem! Nothing at all to do with GR. (lol)

A few photos of Cardiff on the photo blog by Jude

Thanks Ann, I will have a look. I haven't quite finished looking yet, but those I have seen are really lovely, you have taken beautiful photos.

Mary. that is good news about your Mom, I can imagine how relieved you both are. I hope she keeps well.

Baked some muffins this morning and took some to my friend who has flu, hoping they would cheer her up a bit.

The gardener planted some cineraria for me yesterday, I hope they flower nicely. Just remembered I haven't put out the seed for the birds, poor birds will feel unloved so I had better put it out now.

Have a lovely day everyone.

Val.

12.22 p.m.

Warm sunny day today. Have been up the road to the post office and to the charity shop (to take in some books).

Will be having lunch soon, then I'll have a rest.
Still hope to fill in application form to join the allotment club this afternoon.

If still ok this evening I will try to do a bit of work in the garden.
Will take it one step at a time though, so as to preserve my energy.
Val, you have just reminded me that I haven't put out water for the birds. Willo do it now, before I forget again.

Tess

Mary, that is excellent news about your Mum, sorry didn't see t before as I was in a rush to go in to town. where it was crowded (farmers market - bought strawberries and tomato bread - and half term.) Lovely day here.

Hello all. Mary - so pleased for you about your mother. I can imagine what you have been going through.

Reading about you leaving food, water, for birds reminded me that I once read that birds will wait until they are desperate before going to drink, then they go to the same place all the time. If there is no water where they expect it to be, they can die if they don't find water quickly. I have always remembered that because I had a bird bath at the time and it made me very careful about keeping it full - especially in hot weather.

If you have problems getting to the latest posts, click on the triangle next to Post Date just above the first post on any page. It will reverse the order and you can read pages from bottom to top instead of top to bottom.

Unfortunately it never seems to be GR's fault !!!! But more than one of us in different places can't be wrong !!


Probably wont be posting for a week now, as hopefully spare bed permitting ..good old NHS I should be in hospital from Monday pm having my other hip replaced..so hope all of you keep well, and I will let you know how I got on when I get home.

Regards all,

I forgot to mention that if you submit a post (which can be done from anywhere) it will revert back to reading from top to bottom - but just click on the triangle again to reverse it if you wish.

Greenfingers - all the best to you.

Hope all goes well for you Greenfingers
Take care
Mary xx

Another lovely day, Am expecting a friend this afternoon, she will be here for about a week.

Lots of good wishes Greenfingers for your surgery next week, hope all goes according to plan.
