General Chat

Thank you for your message Rosemary. I'm just about to phone to hear if they are going to operate. I will be thinking of you, Mum and your family. You are having a really tough time.Take care.

Well the house is now awake.I have a house full because everyone has gathered here. Must get on.Thanks for the chat everyone. Hope you all have a happy day. Yes Guys,Joe says it is wet in Aus Bye everyone Hugs Rose

Gwyneth,Sorry to hear about your daughter.Appendicitis is so painful.Hope she is OK soon.I too have spent a lot of time recently at AE and EMU Dorchester General as my90 yr old mUM HAS HAD MASSIVE INTERNAL BLEEDING FOR THREE DAYS. I have gathered my family and we awaited the worst.She has been given a blood transfusion and the internal bleeding and vomitting blood has now stopped and yesterday she was sitting up in bed,laughing with my sister and I asking for a gin infusion in her drip. Hugs Rose

Not quite so early on here as usual. Late night spent in A&E as elder daughter was in severe pain, -she's still there, probably appendix, so I didn't get to bed until after 1.30am. I've been up a while loading washing machine etc. I call the early morning 'my time' as I don't have to fight for computer seat then, while the younger members of the family aren't about.

Oh Jude,I remember only too well

wen our kids were young we used to bribe them with ice cream to get them to watch tv while we had a lie in lol

David I'm on the Isle of Portland,just off the Dorset Coastin Southern UK.It is very rugged and in the past was a major producer of oolitic limestone.It is full of worked out quarries which have been taken back by nature and are great nature reserves. I came here 23 years ago with HMP Service.I thought for about three years.As you can see we are still here.

Tell me about it Elaine! I have happy memories of our five playing with L eggo in the early morning and woke most mornings to the sound ofit being scrabbled round nd round in the tins,Why did we keep it in old biscuit tins. Happy Memories Rose

Why is it on a school day, I have to prise my kids out of bed at 7am, like sardines out of a can, but Saturday and Sunday, my five year old gets up at 6;30am?? Elaine x

june keith gave a lift home to Paul and She and we got a bit lost going bak to train station so missed the train i was gonna catch by seconds got the nxt one ok but the one from sheffield to notts was very late and i wud have missed the leicester connection so cliff picked me up from nots instead sounds like someone is stiring here hope they dont get up yet.....................

Good morning, been up for about an hour now and apart from having a look on here have been having a good tidy up - the front room looked like we'd had a party last night.

Hope your boy isn't in Melbourne, Rosemary ( been raining here for days on end.) G,day Phillip. Glad to hear the weather is warm in Fremantle, co'z that means we will get it in two days time. ( hopefully ) Tony. Melbourne.

Hi Rosemay, I usually wake between 4 and 5am. I'm usually on the computer by 6am but this morning I did the ironing first. Gwynne

Not so beautiful from my window Rose! What island do you live on?

June,my sister left Norwich to come down here for the weekend at 7am yesterday.I met her from Dorchester Station at 4.16pm. I think she had been all around Britain.

Lou,David,that is exactly how I feel.It is my time.The day is yet untouched,unsullied. It is brilliant in the summer to get out early,4 am and walk the cliffs and watch the sea.The earth has a lovely smell full of wild thyme andunpolluted by car fumes.Such a different place.

Lou, Guess what, we had problems with the trains too but we were only just over 40 minutes late, we had 5 different time tables for yesterday by the end of the journey, why do they keep cancelling trains? June xx

Hi Philip, I have never got to Aus,but I guess it is pretty special.Certainly my son Joe thinks it is great-he is there on a school reunion.He was at school in Hong-Kong many years ago and has met up with old friends there and has flown on to Aus where he is meeting up with more of them. I wonder how much they will all have changed.

i like being here early to cus its quiet in the house and calm....................

Best time of the day before anyone else is about! If I don't get that I'm evil all day lol.
