Good Morning ,another sunny day here !!(so far )if abit windy ,what to write?I shouldnt be writing at all.... yet ,Ive got loads of ironing ,well quite a lot !!Since its fine I ought to be in the garden!still got a tray of winter pansys to put into the pots in the front ,but because its sheltered out there the busy lizzies still look good so havent liked to disturb them !!I forgot to confess when I was at work last week I went and bought some material (winter weight ) so I could cut out the skirt ,before I hoover!!Ive got Birthdays coming up,I ought to be writing cards ! I suppose because its fine the windows might like a clean Can you see where this entrys going ?...............Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow LOL!!!
Seriously, Yesterday Chrissy and I went to our class,apart from abit of history about how the internet was formed ,I still havent learned any thing really new,Im either more clever than I thought ,No I know that isnt the answer ,there is more to come ,Must learn to crawl before I walk !!some of you commented Id be showing you what to do,Idont think so.........some of you are so clever ,if I could achieve your standards Id be delighted .
We watched the first part of Lynda La Plantes,Trial and Retribution last evening ,looking forward to tonights concluding episode .I ve just read her book Above Suspicion ,and enjoyed it, although the main character ,reminded me abit of Jane Tennison,from Prime suspect,and even abit like Patricia Cornwalls Dr Kay Scarpetta,purely coincidental,Im sure maybe its because all the characters are women striving to succeed in a mans world .
Have a lovely day everyone ,I have to go and find some thing to do !! Jan xx
First of all ,thanks for your comments regarding the vivis Im pleased so many of you agreed with me ,I wondered if Id been too out spoken ,but felt something had to be said ,and since I was never in the running ...............
Now today is a total contrast to yesterday weather wise ,the sun is shining ,a slight breeze,and Ive got work shirts ,looking nice and bright and white in the sunshine ,remember the satisfaction of lines of lovely white fluffy nappies girls ?
Number two son rang me last evening ,as is his wont ,he lives with Tricia,his wife and three sons Micky ,Edward and Christopher ,in Gillingham in Dorset ,well the outcome of the phone call was ~they ve had their computer repaired,and I didnt realise this before ,they are with AOL, so hes going to have a look at my journals,so I shall have to watch what I sayLOL.Derek is lots of fun,with a brilliant sense of humour ,so I await his comments with the warning ,Iam able to block comments if they get too cheeky!!remember the flipflops Derek,your not to big yet !!(Iused to threaten them with my flip flops ,saying Id beat them ,only to greeted with roars of laughter )Derek was heard telling someone once, they had to salute my flip flops ............Tereble Mother I was !!! they were good kids,and now they are my bestest friends .We had some tough times but lots of good too and many happy memories .
This afternoon Im meeting Chrissy,shes number one sons wife,(Mark)we are going to our computer class ,this will be our third week ,the first was to enroll,Ihavent learned any thing new yet ,but we are getting nearer,so Ill be able to understand many things,that havent been clear up to now ,hopefully.
Since the weather was so nice Ive been potting some tradescanthia(spelling )(Inipped/nicked )from a plant at the court Iwas at the other week !!You can do so much more when the weather is nice ,both inside and out ,
HAVE A GOOD MONDAY EVERYONE ..............JAN XX
Hello everyone ,A wet and windy Sunday ,Maurice is working today so Ive been chilling here .Then decided to go up to the town centre,,so braving the elements,the drizzle and the wind,off I set ,Just got back right, its chucking it down now.,there was a fantastic array of breads,cheeses meats wines/cider,oils ,I enjoyed looking and wandering, I did buy some rather nice pate ,Ive just sampled some on some crusty bread Id bought from Somerfield yesterday !! As you know I worked three days last week so Ive been playing catchup ,with jobs in doors and journal alerts to say nothing of recharging my energy.We discovered on Thursday ,our phone was dead ,Maurice called BT on his mobile, I cant get a signal on mine at home ,did all the checks when we unplugged the modem (from another socket not the phone one )we found the phone was OK ,so its phone OR online at the minute ,not both ,I rang AOL,who suggest the modem might be at fault so ,sending me another meanwhile..................Are you still checking Dodgers progress at Woodgreen? they do an update each weekday ,on Fridays one you can see a pic of Kate with Kerrie ,Woodgreens manager and Dodger of course ,Kate tells me Dodger went over to Peterborough, to the Forward press offices ,and there were more pics taken ,so Im looking forward to Mondays update,every one at the office to quote Kate were well up for meeting him ,and hes loving all the attention ,makes you wonder about his history,no one has claimed him and there has been alot of publicity HMMM?
Now before I go, its got to said ~~~Well done to all the vivi award winners.........Im new to journals so didnt qualify to be nominated so ,its not sour grapes !!!But there are some damn good brit journals, that are as good and often better than the winners ,and when you look at the work and time effort and research some of our people put into their journals Well Im disapointed ............So there , you know who you are folks ,in my opinion your simply the best ,better than all the rest ,Ishall keep reading your excellent journals, With love Jan xx
Work today !up at six ,catch the first of my buses,at seven thirtyfive to get to work by nine,fifteen ,Called all the residents all fine ............except no answer from I at no 16 ,spoke to a neighbour who was concerned,got back onto control in case they had omitted to give me a message concerning I no ,they had had no message ,arr well !got the master key let myself in to Is bungalow, calling her name peeping into each room ,wondering what I might find ,(Ive had a few experiences,as you will imagine ,over the years ,and you never get used to it !!)Nothing , look for next of kins numbers ,who tell me she was admitted to hospital Tuesday night ,They should in the event of no manager on site have notified control,all they had to do was pull the cord,notified control who would have notified me !!!.Well Im home again now .Well I supose I must be or who is doing this entry !
I had an e-mail ,from Kate ,closely followed by a phonecall from a very excited Kate yesterday afternoon saying Ive been!! and hes lovely he was licking her ,she said hed had extensive surgery,and was shaved and they saw where all his stitches were ,what a marvelous place Mum ,she has an invite to go back with Maddy at Christmas ,she said they were treated like royalty ,shed gone with Kerrie, Forward presses PR girl ,who took lots of pics ,Kate is going to email me some ,so I hope to share them,with you ,once Kerrie has given them to Kate .Whilst there Kate got an email from her husband Martin ,simply saying,NO YOU CANT!!how well he knows her .any way you can see all this for your self if you click onto ~ http://www.woodgreen.org.uk/ If you go into sponsers you will find Dodgers story ,Kate was saying that their sister company had now pledged another four thousand ,arent people lovely ?
Enjoy whats left of Thursday folks Jan xx
The time spent on this computer ,is verging on disgusting .I find myself in a chicken and egg situation ,do I read all my alerts first or do I do an entry ?today Im not at work, I have read alerts , good job Idid, because in amongst the alerts was an e-mail from a very excited daughter Catherine/Kate ,now for the entry ....Kate works for a publishing firm she types and proof reads manuscripts .Yesterday she was approached by her boss to go to Wood green animal rescue centre(we adopted Scooby from there),to present a cheque on behalf of her boss and the company .The story was in the local press and local radio news,telling of an eighteen month old terrier who had been involved in an accident with a lorry,dislocating his hip and with fractures down his back,so today our Kate is to meet a lady ,to see the theatre and the post op room,and to meet the aptly named DODGER!all of which is to be recorded,on webcam,so that all the people who donated will see her hand over the money,she has promised not to adopt Dodger she has a lovely german shepherd of her own,but knowing Kate she is going to be sorely tempted,I would assume its because of her enthusiam,about her own dear Maddy ,and training etc and her love of all animals that made her boss decide she was the obvious choice,to represent them today .I will of course keep you posted on this lovely story.
HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE ,WITH LOVE ,JAN XX
