Hiya Jan. You forgot the 'white' in the rabbits bit, LOL!  Well the D month is finally on us, 'D' for December I know, but it could be 'D' for Debt, Disastrous Diets, Drinking, Debauchery(at the office party, LOL) and of course Dinner (christmas ones by the dozen-mainly office meals out!).

It's a rainy dull grey day here - its wonderful how sisters can communicate.
enjoyed your conversation with Jean......Wind in the Willows brings back memories....Nice to think you and Cliff did the same song - You are becoming more famous Jan with your Journal - I wonder if Cliff does one.....lol....Ally

I saw Cliff Richards on Des and Mel :o)
I talk like that with hubby, we start on one subject and end with something completely different, having put the world to rights in between!!  Always wished I had a Sister though, you are lucky!

Men who can multi task are a rare breed...Now us women can which is why we can have conversations that go off at tangents and still know what we are on about <ggg>   Caff xxx

You make me wish I had a sister.  Always wanted one but I was born late in my mother's life.  Always been sad about that.  So you and Cliff have a similar claim to fame. Funny how we can remember old songs and rhymes from all those years ago.  Have a nice rest of the day Ratty my dear.

You are more famous to us than Sir Cliff. Always wished I had a sister or come to that a brother and with us moving have no contact with relation at all, this is one reason I love J-land. Love Joan.

Yeah, sisters can talk like that. Me and my sisters used to but unfortunately they both died at a young age. Typical December weather now isn't it.....drizzle, grey etc. Roll on summer!! Jeannette.

Love Jeanxx

Kerry and I witter away on the phone in exactly the same way Jan, it HAS to be a woman thing, men just talk about one subject then put the phone down, they don`t know the art of tele-chat...lol!  I won a prize at school when I was eight,  it was for my handwriting and guess what I wrote?  Ducks Ditty of course, just like your song!  :o)

Hi there,

I enjoyed reading about you being on the stage.  I always wanted to but I have to say to you that I was too shy.  

The only time I ever went on stage, was to play the harmonica when the St John's Ambulance were putting on a tallent competition.  

I practiced day in and day out only to find that I had been upsatged by two girls who played the mouth organ and danced when they were not playing.  

I did not mind that, for I enjoyed their performance, but they were playing the tunes that I had been learning and, minutes before I went on stage for the first time, I did not have a clue of what I was going to play.  

Once on the stage, in the 'lime light,' my mind went blank.  I know I played something but I have no idea what it was.  

There was a pause in my act and I did not know what to do next and I was grateful when the stage hand pulled the curtains on me.

That did not put me off though for, when I can pluck up the courage, I sometimes play the harmonica at a 'folk music' night.  The only thing that I insist on is that no one smokes while I am doing the playing.  

Thank you for bringing back the memories, for even though I made a mess of things on stage, I still enjoy recalling those wonderful days of my childhood.

I really ought to write a journal on the subject, although I hated it myself, for my father was a master fisherman and taughtmany people to fish.  

I could not sit still long enough to get interested in fishing but I still remember catching my first Roach.  

Wonderful days, thank you for the memory jog.

By for now,

John.

John.
