I'm a Swede living in Sweden but we do get to see a lot of your British drama series and shows, Parkinson being one of the popular ones over here as well. I was just wondering, how is he and has he been up to anything interesting after the final Parkinson show?

<tut....all empty boxes in here>

Morning all...Happy Easter (not sure if you say it on Friday or Sunday so I'm going down the middle)

That's a beautiful card card shaney but I think neti deserves a bigger challenge...this cool enough for ya sweti?

Now get out there & start whipping yourself...my sister's at this secret shopping malarkey now. When we went to town a couple of weeks ago she too bought some pricey shoes & when I asked her yesterday what her husband thought of them (they were bright blue) she said he hasn't seen them yet. Apparently he spotted the box in her car & was going to move it but sis told him to leave it - he wanted to know just how many empty shoe boxes she needed to save, hahaha, brilliant.
I only have Charlie to explain to & he just shrugs. :o)

Woofy! looks like the boys have been down the Shughy shop

I was taught that you didn't say it till Sunday, till The Man had actually risen...but it doesn't seem to be a terribly religeous festival round here. When I was a kid in Battersea they used to have one of those processions on Good Friday (stiil used to see people walking round marked with ash on Ash Wednesday too) also a very pretty one , I think on May Day which was dedicated to the BVM...loads of flowers and statues. I amn't RC by the way but when you are a kid, a procession is a procession.

When we lived in the US (New Jersey) it must have been a big RC area. There were loads of churches who used to put up a cross for Lent. On Good Friday they would hang a crown of thorns on it, then swathe it in black fabric until easter sunday when it would be covered in flowers.
Your Sis' husband is either slow on the uptake (no offence) or he has just bought himself something bigger than a pair of shoes OR maybe he just likes to keep her happy??
My Dh, as i have mentioned before has 3 motorbikes, 5 helmets and more gloves and paraphenalia than I can count...my spending is nothing beside it which is totally fine by me lol
Delighted to hear your news Kit
laters all

[woofgang]

love it Robi, PS I opened the weimaraners in stockings and i got a malicious website warning... ;-(
Actually you don't need to buy anything, just let them do what mine do and trot through bogs.

[Robinia]

yes, lots of bogginess about right now...Charlie just made me laugh, he was ambling round the garden & came to a shrub that he likes to 'water'...and cocked the wrong leg up, hehe...bless, I think he's addled some days....just like his slave.

Rather than being too slow on the uptake bro in law is too quick for his own good, so he'd have been onto the next thing without even thinking about it....and sis (& me too) has this thing obout saving empty shoeboxes. Well, they do come in handy....for hiding things :o). He's a cancerian & sooo much like my youngest son...ask them to do something...light the fuse...and stand back!

[netibiza]

I hide shopping from the old man /( or younger man in my case) - not that there's much joyful shopping going on at moment. Just treated myself to a card of Nappy pins as they are soo handy (and No Robi, nothing to do with towelling tenas)

Don't like to admit this, but I'm confused as to Swedie's desktop posting, are we meant to use it cos I wouldn't know how.

Yes, Happy Easter is on the joyful Easter sunday, can't really enjoy a black day like Good Friday. I'm Anglican, which is almost similar to RC - Mr N and daughter are heathens!! so it is up to me to keep the faith for when they die and need a place in heaven - is there no end to my work??? I don't actually go to church anymore, hated it when they all started kissing (which is Ok in an orgy, but not church) and punching the air saying Halleujah!!!

Afternoon everybody hope your weekend is going well. I've been to a car boot for the first time since I can't remember.. Only a little one and I didn't stay long so I set off and walked all the way home seemed miles but I'm pleased I did it noiw.

I'm happy things are easing off a bit for you Kit. Let's hope the consultant is mistaken.

I'm not into religious festivals and processions really. But can remember congregating at my Mum and Dads house to watch the Derby Carnival go passed as it was right by the entrance to the Park where it was held and we used to have drinks and things and my Dad used to sit in a chair smoking his pipe to watch. I have a photo of him somewhere doing just that. I'll try and find it. The chair he was sitting in was a little fold up one and I still have it. It was made in India brought back by my Great Grand-parents and their family. He was in the Indian Army. They had 13 children and my Grandmother (Mother's Mother) was born there.
All that's set me off I'm going to look in My Pictures.

See yer later 'gater(s)

[Jude123]

This is the one. The chair is made with a thick woven string seat and back. And is foldable, It is still in my bedoom with my 'jamas and dressing gown on.

Golly jude, they sell the same here (in plastic) for the beach!

My grandparents had 17 children but I think some, or at least one died in childhood.

[netibiza]

I was looking through the family bible yesterday (I inherited from my mum - the others had her gold! but I wanted the bible!) and found some lovely photos of my mum when she was a child, and some interesting handwritten letters from Sudbury in Suffolk, she was born in Cavendish! Now I wish I could ask her all about things!

[jno]

oh, I took a photo of Cavendish a few years ago - ever so pretty

[netibiza]

My grandmother is buried there, and had a little house right near the church.

[netibiza]

(not the granny who has 17 kids, that was the paternal side)

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY
Off out for a walk now before the weather changes.

Take care x

[netibiza]

Just been orange, lemon , clementine and grapefruit picking from a friend´´s rather large estate they are delicious! Then 10 pin bowling (I could hardly lift the ball with 2 hands let alone chuck it with one!), then a lovely lunch in another part of Ibiza. Lovely and sunny after the rain cleared! Have just sorted out the fruit and stowed it in various fridges and baskets. Do you remember the little tomato that I photoed on here, well it went red so I've picked it before some hooligans came along, and now there are 3 other little ones.

Off for a siesta now, <<catch you laters>>
