Maurice has just gone off to work,(its 11.30am),he wont be home until,around 11pm,,happy with his cards and pressies,I bought him an Irish rugby shirt, and some dvds hed wanted,and a tape to do with fishing always a winner! He read your greetings in my comments and was quite touched.Lovely people! No work today, Im only part time,just tomorrow to go, then two days next week at the court I retired from,which will be lovely to see all my old friends again,had some great times there,some sad ones too,which reminds me ....another story,
When I first became a manager there,I went to visit an old lady who had recently moved there following the death of her husband,she was ninety then ,she insisted on showing me round,even though the bungalows were all the same,Ididnt want to hurt her feelings so I allowed her to give me the grand tour.Just off the bedroom is a large walk in cupboard,in there she had a fridge freezer,not working! she was showing me some of the contents,there were photo albums,a fantastic collection of scrapbooks,about the royal family ,world events oh all sorts of things...........right at the bottom in a drawer,were her late husbands slippers filled with pot-pourri..............OOO
My cold feels so much better thankyou everyone,Im off to hang out the washing With love Jan xx

That was a lovely story about the old lady and her fridge freezer. I suppose she keeps her memories frozen in time in there!! Glad you feel better now. Jeannette.
Happy birthday to Maurice:-) Anthing to do with fishing always suits Jim too. That`s where he is today, and doing quite well from what he told me when I phoned to see how he was. How sweet to fill her hubby`s slippers with pot pourri....very touching. :-)

Ok Jan, those of us over here across the sea need to know what "pressies" are. Isn't funny..all men (no matter where they live) like a new shirt, dvds and fishing gear. I think men would like to get fishing gear even if they didn't fish. It's just the fact that they have it to show their buddies !
