so busy day today...........but at least it is getting lighter in the evenings , that's something that is bound to make things feel better.
Ilove the idea of getting dressed up georgy, trouble is my OH doesn't ! so he avoids these kinds of events....one day I am going to set him up properly. He looked good all dressed up for our daughters graduation....
Time just keeps vanishing so fast at the moment, I know just what you mean, you think you have loads of time, and then all of a sudden its Monday again and you wonder where the past week has gone.
daughter has gone skiing with her friends .....it was fun seeing them off at the airport, you could spot they were going skiing a mile off...I think it was the salopettes and jackets that did it! it
It was lovely Augusta
Mine moans to, i think all the men do about getting dressed up, but they did look good.
I wore a simple black dress, but with statement pieces of jewellery felt princess like :D
hope your daughter enjoys her time skiing, which airport did they fly out of, it is fun
seeing people of at the airport.......great people watching place, a hive of activity.
Does anyone know what happened to John James? He was uploading pictures every couple of days on his Instagram and tweeting quite a lot and then he stopped tweeting and deleted his Instagram it looks like....
I think he works in the neverlandstore clothing shop in Melbourne, they were talking about filming something called Leafy Langy and nothing happened, unless it was a joke.
No sorry Luke, have no idea....... but you know what he's like......... he often disappears for a while........ then pops up again, when he feels like it
How are we all? Sorry Luke, haven't heard a peep from John.
Hope your daughter has a lovely time skiing. I used to ski in Andorra when I was younger and fitter. Loved it.
Going to go out tomorrow - first time in 4 weeks! Still coughing, but much better.
it would be nice to hear something from John James, but then again I am glad he seems to be busy and enjoying his life.
hopefully he will be able to look back on BB11 as an interesting interlude in his life?
She went out from Stanstead, but there are so many airlines that fly out to Geneva, trouble is taking ski equipment isn't that cheap, so it makes more sense to hire stuff out there. She is in the Porte de soleil region of France, which is breathtakingly beautiful xxx
Skiing sounds wonderful - I know the resort and it is beautiful.
Sad tidings - a friend from the village collapsed outside her home. She died yesterday from a brain haemmorhage. Only 58. A year to the day my dear friend died of the same thing. Life can be very cruel.

Makes me want to live each day to the full.
you never know quite what is going to happen next do you. I wonder if it is best to die almost instantly or to go through a long lingering death from something like cancer, where you know its coming and can really set your affairs into some kind of order.
Life can be very cruel indeed
Half term next week, I love half terms great fun.
Just started to watch Fortitude, which was extremely slow to start off with, but it rapidly growing on me, and did anyone else see this weeks Comic relief does bake off, with Jennifer Saunders and Dame Edna everage, it was absolutely hilarious. and so good to realise that baking can be extremely difficult...........!!
is anyone doing anything special for Valentines day? we are going out for a meal with friends tomorrow night,?

luv m
Nope no valentine plans, well my valentine is away again
never mind
spent this weekend watching sport
barely moved from in front on the tv
and the result have mainly gone my way
well if we ignore our poor showing in the world cup cricket starting match .
the England rugby win was good....... but Italy shouldn't of gone over 3 times .... poor
defence
and a Liverpool win in the FA cup ....... sees us going through to the next round
very pleased
now i need to pop out for milk
its a exciting life
Hooked on the rugby this weekend. Also watched Indian Summers. Good but a bit slow I thought. Can't keep all the characters straight.
Spent Valentine's day at Home - had some bubbly and salmon en croute. Watched BRIDGEat Remegen and then I retired to watch the last episodes of SPIRAL. Left you hanging.
I am trying to make a family tree for my dads 80th birthday, only the immediate family really , but its a pain trying to find all the dates of birth for my nephews and nieces etc.
I also wanted to add the dates of birth of my grandparents, I did a sketchy family tree a few years ago, and now I cant find where on earth I put it,! So it will be back to genes reunited to check I suppose.........I got back to the mid 19th century, but then it started to get a bit complicated......as I was trying to trace a relatively common name....and I couldn't distinguish which one was which...when there are 4 or 5 John smiths, which one is going to be your ancestor??

The rugby was fantastic ...... really good matches
and of course 2 win to us..... looking good
how posh bubbly and salmon, hope you had a lovely Valentines day
you deserve it
Cold but sunny - my two favourite types of weather.
No, don't celebrate pancake day - much prefer American buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup. Pancakes here are more like crepes... like them with sugar and lime.
Went out for the day yesterday - first big outing - really tired but I managed.
Take care and have a great day.
Highlight of my day is changing beds and having window cleaner come. . .

Have fun with that
you give such thoughtful gifts ...your Dad will love that
my sister did ours a few years ago
its interesting ..... a few crooks ...... a couple of soldiers and a few do goods
what was really interesting......... on my Dads side the lot of them haven,t moved very far
not great travellers or movers us
they all stayed in the same area...... give or take a few miles here and there .......
strange really

pleased you made it out....... but rest up a bit today
give yourself a chance to recover
i,m sure the beds can wait, no one will know.......
not even the window cleaner ....... lol
so tonight is Wolf Hall and the inside look at the House of commons, and of course the Bake off for comic relief, tomorrow I am going to need to do something energetic.....!!
its beautiful weather here today, it was lovely taking the dogs out for their walk....

Poldark looks good
Morning all
watched Bake off last night ...... Jonathans profiteroles need i say more
but what a fun show
also watched Eastenders which i have not watched for years
but even i want to know who killed Lucy Beale
the weathers good ...... shall walk down to the village later
so who did kill lucy beale, ? I need to go and find out...
we had a lovely meal out last night, but nearly got stuck in the car park......I have never heard before of a car park locking itself up at 11!! luckily one of the other people also locked in showed us a way of overriding the barrier....!!!
But I don't think I will use this car park again!!!
Friend coming Sunday til Monday so house is gradually looking tidy - just the guest loo and remaking bed - then a quick hoover on Sunday morning.
I too want to know who killed Lucy - haven't watched Eastenders for years. I am watching re-run of SOLDIER SOLDIER on Movies for Men station.
Have a mountain of ironing to do so best get on.
Morning Nyannie
who would of thought it.......... well i never lol
Pleased you're a hive of energy....... i struggled to get out of bed
thought you might be interested in a programme i saw advertised last night
its on Sunday BBC 6pm the big artist challenge..... it looks very similar to the portrait artist programme that Augusta and i raved about ......... same sort of format but landscape painting by promising amateur artists

Bib ........... who would of thought it
we have also been caught out like this with car parks ......... you have to be careful
some close entry around here late at night but leave the exit open ......
seem a far more sensible idea
just playing around with some jewellery ideas, ive got a few things I want to make, now I need to put an order in for some more silver
Tried to do a bit of basic gardening, it was lovely spotting the crocus that are starting to sprout, I love their bright colours.
Did any one else see Gogglebox last night, they were watching Wolf Hall and commented on one of the rudest lines in the whole episode, it was a comment made about Jane Seymore and was the c word! I must admit I watched it on Wednesday and didn't even realise that it was said!! No wonder swearing rarely offends me! I think sometimes I must just tune out!!!
