Morning all,

Sam and I had an amazing day. The show was breath taking. We had a fabulous time going round London. Sam hadn't been to Libertys or Harrods before so we had to pop n and seehow he other half live!! We got home at about 10.50 last night.
I was woken this morning with coissants in bed and was blessedwith some lovely birthday cards andgifts. \i feel very pampered.

Lovely day here. I am taking Lee for a scan on his shoulder shortly then we have the dentist later!

Thinking of you all

I went to Blickling today and saw some wonderful sights which I wanted to photo for you and of course my phone needed charging.
I saw hellibores, primroses and snowdrops, and rhodedendrons. The perfume from some bushes was beautiful.
I saw witch hazel in full bloom and honeysuckle. The sun was shining so it was extra special.
I had a home made meat pie and potatoes and cabbage and then bread and butter pudding with custard.
I am stuffed.
Getting ready to watch War and Peace tonight.
love to all
Wendy

Good afternoon, it's been a bright but cold day here, I have been doing my painting this afternoon and learning myself how to paint a water drop.
Sounds lovely Wendy seeing all the flowers and plants, my neighbours tree has already started to sprout new leaves.

Good morning, it is bitterly cold and the hills are covered in snow. I am going to aqua-aerobics this afternoon. No other plans as yet.
Sounds like you really enjoyed Blickley yesterday Wendy
Painting water drops is difficult Mo, can we see some of your work?
Hope you have a good day

Good morning, what a miserable day it is, non stop rain r987

I've watched a few videos on youtube on how to paint water drops, I will keep practicing till I master it.
I'll post a couple of my pictures.

I have seen Maureens pictures and she should be very proud, you are going to be knocked out by them.
Today I had British Gas come and replace the major part which they put in last September. I had known they were coming for over a week, but the noise my boiler was making made me want to scream.
I cleaned out half of my wardrobe this morning and going to do the other half another day.
Annie I am thinking of you swimming, it will be great, my daughter was going to go to her local pool.
love to everyone
Wendy

Hope you have a god day

Good afternoon, bright and quite cold here today, have had a stressful morning, pulled the washing machine out to disconnect it as we are having delivery of a new one tomorrow and the water connection tap decided to leak and water everywhere, my husband tried but struggled and couldn't get old one off, his hands shake to much these days, so in desperation we phoned his brother and he came to the rescue, had to buy new connector, all fixed now thank goodness, am shattered now.

Hope the Steroid injection works Annie, my husband is having one in his shoulder next Thursday.

yesterday around 4pm, the road men came to my road outside, and they worked all through the night, with flashing lights and bumps and bangs. There has been no activity today but it is clear they will be coming back. I felt sorry for the people whose houses were right against them, and I also felt so sorry for the men. It was pouring with rain, and it is a dangerous road, and they did not have traffic lights.
I went into the city today and bought a new three quarter length coat filled with duck down and feathers. It is rainproof and has a hood as well. It was reduced from £200 to £35.
I am well chuffed.
well keep warm, it looks like it is going to be cold.
love
Wendy

It is good to see a new member posting in the shoutbox and saying hello.

[wendy]

The road men are back and the work is nearer my home.

I am feeling very cold and rather sad after the funeral today. Hundreds of people were there and they even had the Church Choir in the Church.
It was bitterly cold.

Good Evening all..

I did something really daft today and didn't get any lunch apart from some biscuits from the office "stash".

I picked up what I thought was my packed lunch to put in my bag this am. When I went to get it out at lunchtime I thought it felt a bit heavy, I found out why when I opened it -it was a lump of cheese !!!

I had wrapped both the cheese and my lunch in silver foil and had grabbed the wrong one. I did debate about having the sandwiches for tea but I got so cold at the bus stop waiting for the bus home I had some lasagne.

Never mind, I will take it in tomorrow for the swans, I am sure with this cold weather they will eat all they can get. Just meat paste but it is in brown bread...

Could have been worse, I once worked with someone who mixed up their Tesco's bags - they got to work to find they had a bag of.. wait for it .. USED cat litter .. their lunch had gone in the wheelie bin lol

[wendy]

What a shame Liz. Don't they have a cafe at wensum lodge any more?
Last night I watched a film with Alan rickman in. So it was a shock today to read he had died.

[chenrezig]

They do have a cafe there, but as I was leaving off early as I had to go in all day yesterday I decided to save my money.

So I have something hot tomorrow I have put some hot choc in a tupperware box to mix up, and two cuppa soups

It was a shock to hear about Alan Rickman, when someone told us in the office we all went WHAAAT? We couldn't believe it..

Hope you have a good day#Love anniexx
