Glad you got to the gym nyannie, and enjoyed it

I have PM'd you about dates. Think maybe we should skip the secret Santa? There probably aren't enough of us for it to be very secret, anyway!

Hope you have a good day sketching and lunching tomorrow

Soooo......today's the day! Liverpool are back in the Champions League

Although going by our performance at the weekend, maybe I shouldn't get too excited about tonight's match!

Wish us luck.......

Lindy xx

Yeah, back where we belong

not good at the weekend, but we always play so bad after internationals


Good morning all,
so agree with you Nyannie the news is so depressing, those poor men and there
families such a sick world
and of course Scotland being such an issue , lets keep our fingers crossed and they decide to stay.

Augusta pleased your cupboards are now fixed, and i bet the mood of the
house has also now improved. I think i would of ducked and then taken myself out for the
afternoon .

building across from me is still going on, but i do believe they are behind schedule
its getting be down, dust, noise, the constant honking of horns to let them into the site,
they might not start until eight, but they start honking are 7 in the morn

well i better get on, if i get my few chores done, i can go out shopping
that will cheer me up

im just back from shopping in Norwich. its such a beautiful city and its a lovely late summer day. and I found a shop that sold crystal , rocks and so on, so I have a bit more inspiration for my jewellery xx

I had lunch out with my daughter, there are some nice things about having grown up children.


I love the idea of meeting up for Christmas, its nice to have things booked up to look forwards to. singing last night was great fun, only trouble is I was singing so loud, I almost lost my voice.

I think its the right week to see A streetcar named desire, being transmitted live from the theatre to a screen in a nearby cinema, its not quite the same as being there but im sure I can cope.

Glad you had a good day out Augusta

Enjoy the play! x

Evening all.

Had a lovely day and even bought myself some costume jewellery. Unheard of for me to buy some jewellery.

Quest goes on for the wood stain.

Have a lovely time at Streetcar Augusta. You know the production is dedicated to my dear friend who died this year. She did a lot of work at the theatre.

Tomorrow is going to be really exciting - laundry and ironing!!!!

So glad Liverpool is doing well. I wish Arsenal would do the same - not much of a football fan really. In other sports news, thanks to my favourite Roger Federer, Switzerland plays France. Now that should be a good Davis Cup series!

Must go and do some dinner- doing stuffed aubergines. Want to make a bet my o/h doesn't like it?

Have a lovely evening all.

stuffed aubergines sound lovely.

The filmed feed of A Streetcar Named Desire, was absolutely amazing. The set and the costumes are incredible.

Its in the round with a rotating stage in the middle, which is awesome, very simple, yet also very effective. As the play was being filmed, we had some amazing close ups of the actors. They change costumes on the stage, in the pretend bathroom or bedroom.

Gillian Anderson was absolutely awesome. She was playing Blanche and played it so brilliantly. I hadn't read the play before but it is so moving. I can imagine it is a difficult play to do well, as Blanche has so many layers. But Gillian managed it brilliantly, we all ended up feeling so sad for poor, tragic, Blanche.

I think its the message that how hard life can be if you are fragile and emotional and want to find the magic in life, rather than just being held down in the nitty gritty everyday life of Stella and her husband., was so well portrayed.

So glad to hear you liked Streetcar. I have seen the production a few times. You must see the film version with Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando. Amazing! Streetcar is one of my favourite plays. We had to study Glass Menagerie in high school. Very sad.

I have spent most of the day in bed. Had an excruciating headache last night - saw a kaleidoscope - wonder if it was a migraine.

Anyway, looking forward to dinner. Steak and baked potato and broccoli. Yeah!!!!

Glad you enjoyed Streetcar, Augusta I have seen the film - I agree it was fabulous - and I also had the privilege of seeing Glass Menagerie with Sally Field in the lead role in Washington when we were there ( a long time ago )

Hope your headache is better nyannie - it does sound like a migraine

Well, as I type, we have moved into Decision Day I am really worried about the Scottish Referendum, I feel as though things have been changing north of the border without me being fully aware.....and if they do vote Yes, it will have a huge impact on the rest of the UK.

I'll be sitting up watching the results come in, even though there won't be a final count until Friday morning. Who else will be watching - anyone from here??

Anyway better get some sleep .....lol

Night night

Lindy xx

I will try and look out for the film. I have got back from work with a horrid headache!! I think it might be something to do with the light, its very bright and very low.

hope your headache/migrane is feeling better, migranes can be horrendous!

I don't know how I feel about the Scottish referendum, it somehow feels extremely unreal.


I suppose if they leave, then the UK may have to change its name, as we wont really be all that united! I just cannot really understand how or why it is going to be better for Scotland to not be part of the UK?

And why are all the politicians and big businesses, apparently panicking at the last minute, why haven't they been campaigning seriously for months as well as the yes to independence campaign?

Maybe it will stir the rest of the UK up a bit and make politics a bit less complacent? if people power is seen to affect how things work out?

I am so pleased Scotland voted NO. Now to get more power for England and not have Scottish MPs decide England's fate (the old chestnut, the Midlothian Question).

Feeling a bit better but not about to go to the gym until next week. I am still having clammy moments and palpitations and dizziness at times. Have made an appt to see Dr next week.

How are we all? I am reading the new Amy Tan novel. Just love her writing.

Hope everyone has a lovely day. So glad we had some rain - don't need to water the plants.

I also am so pleased about the Referendum result. There are enough problems in the world, without inventing more, surely? We need to stay strong and united......with more independence for every area of the UK, imo

Hope you feel better soon nyannie.

Am shattered as I couldn't sleep last night for keep getting up and checking on election progress! Best get moving and sort myself out....

Have a good day all

Lindy xx

Me to ....... what a relief,
so pleased that Scotland voted against independence
was getting a little worried there at one stage

feel very tired today, checking the referendum result throughout the night
as well as the storm keeping me up. Think we will be in for more of the
same tonight, it feels very humid here.

it's really been very warm for September, but strangely already found a conker on
the ground.

Going to visited Mum and Dads tomorrow, going for a nice walk, see if
i can shift some fat of my backside lol

hope all are well xxx

oh dear Nyannie,
that doesn't sound to good, please you're getting yourself checked out
Take care
Jx

im glad Scotland voted to stay in the UK, but I think the vote was pretty close?

And now we have suggestions to devolve powers away from central government back to local areas? I wonder if they will reinstate and give more powers back to the existing local councils, or if something new will be created?


nyannie I hope you feel a bit better, its rotten not feeling well.

lovely wet and miserable weekend here....... But strictly is starting again soon.

Morning all

Feeling a bit better and the gorgeous weather really is helping. Glad we had some rain though.

Friends came round yesterday and we went out for lunch - that cheered me up! Reading more and more biographies from my high-school classmates. Such fun! Everyone seems to have such interesting lives.

Having eyes examined tomorrow and then the gym hopefully.

Must go and sort out my tax form - it got returned!!!!

Have a lovely day everyone.

it has been lovely weather here, we went out for a walk in the woods with the dogs and then tea at a local teashop, so a lovely lazy day.

how boring about your tax form, those kinds of forms are so frustrating to fill in, and so easy to get wrong...


its Downton abbey back on tv tonight....should be fun xxx

afternoon everyone, how are you all?

Afternoon all.

I have now sent you PMs about our Christmas meet up. Please PM me asap if you will be attending as I will have to book the restaurant.

I am celebrating - eye exam went OK - no glaucoma, macular degeneration or anything else - and no new prescriptions. Yipee!!!!

Off to the gym tomorrow. Back to getting fit again.

Have a lovely evening all.

I have replied

pleased your eye test went well, no new prescription is good.

I have the dentist this week, not looking forward to that,

been busy still looking at job sites with youngest, always knew it would be difficult for him,
now looking for some sort of volunteer work, just to get him
out and about...... found a few possibilities ..... so thats good

hope all are well
off for a bath , will check in later

Morning all

Have replied to your PM nyannie

Enjoyed Downton on Sunday, it was actually better than I had remembered - though it did help that we watched the recording and FF'd all those adverts

Concerned about Liverpool. We play again tonight - no guarantee we'll even beat Middlesborough, the way we're playing.....and it's the Merseyside derby on Saturday!

Hope your son finds a good position, voluntary or otherwise, Georgy

Have a good day all

Lindy xx

Dear Threadlings

Hope your son finds a suitable job georgy - I am sure he will.

Off to tackle my ironing mountain
