Spread your wings and fly away

Just for a change. Afterall we haven't had any rain here for all of 3 hours, garden must need it by now lol!

To be honest I am getting fed up with it all now, and the forecast says that it will be getting worse with storms hitting Britain during the week and flooding.

Nothing new there then.

Just spent a couple of hours looking for places to stay in Aberystwyth. My uncle is having a 60th birthday party in February, unfortunately valentines weekend, and we need to find somewhere to stay if we go. It isn't fair to expect my aunt and uncle to put us up, they will have a housefull with their son and his family as well as their other son.

It will be quite a busy month for us. A friend will be 40 this year and is having a party - unfortunately on the same day that my uncle will have his so I won't be able to go to hers unless I can't find anywhere to stay. A friend of Nigels is having a 50th birthday party the week before that one, and I have been invited to spend some time with another friend in London, though as yet it is undecided if I shall go or not, things are up in the air about that one.

Later in the year another friend has invited us to her daughters marriage so need to lose weight for that, though if ppl keep buying me chocolate there will not be much hope of that.

I feel as though I have a lump in my throat when I swallow. Hope it is nothing.

Right am off to watch the rest of Narnia before I retire to bedski!

Have a good evening

Apples & Wine

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the
tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are
afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the
apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the
top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're
amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one
who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Now Men.... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up
to women to stomp the sh*t out of them until they turn into something
acceptable to have dinner with.

Share this with all the good apples you know.

A mother is driving her 7 year-old daughter to her friend's house for a play date when the little girl asks "Mommy," how old are you?"

"Honey, you are not supposed to ask a lady her age," the mother replies sweetly. "It's not polite."

"OK", the little girl says, "How much do you weigh?"

"Now really," the mother says, a bit less sweetly. "Those are personal questions and are really none of your business."

Undaunted, the little girl asks, "Why did you and Daddy get a divorce?"

"That's enough questions, young lady, honestly!" mom says as her daughter is getting out of the car.

The exasperated mother drives away as the two friends begin to play.

"My Mom won't tell me anything about her," the little girl says to her friend.

"Well," says the friend, "all you need to do is look at her drivers license. It's like a report card, it has everything on it."

Later that night the little girl says to her mother, "I know how old you are, you are 32."

The mother is surprised and asks, "How did you find that out?"

"I also know that you weigh 140 pounds."

The mother is past surprised and shocked now. "How in heaven's name did you find that out?"

"And," the little girl says triumphantly,
"I know why you and daddy got a divorce."
Now mom's getting mad. She says, "Oh really? And just why is that, young lady?"

"Because you got an F in sex."

Lazy morning laying in bed watching Nigel play Resident Evil 4 and swear at Leon who wasn't doing what he should be doing (or something!)

Breakfast in bed with a cup of tea which was nice.

managed to tear myself away from the bed to get showered then thought I had better fulfill my promise to son and take him into town to get him a new phone.

Fortunately my eldest is quite cheap. He isn't into designer gear, he is not into the latest models. He wants a phone, one that he can send texts from, one that he can use in emergencies, one that is very basic indeed. No camera, no internet access, no bluetooth. He had even found the phone he wanted an Alcatel

Not sure if it is good or not but he is happy and it will serve his needs and a bargain at £29.99 as well

Came home and checked messages. Someone keeps sending me jokes, yet I have no idea who they are from. I know it isn't from anyone on my 'friends' list, neither from anyone that I know, so obviously they have the wrong email address, but they are quite funny! Will try and post some later.

now relaxing with a cup of tea. A friend has leant me her Tens machine for my back in the hope it will help. not at the moment but we will persevere!
