Spread your wings and fly away

Right tiredness has struck so I am going to have an early night.

Before I go, I know a number of my blog friends have had a bad week in one way or another, so I am wishing you all a happy and productive week as from tomorrow.

Keep your tempers, keep smiling and keep looking on the bright side of life no matter how much it tries to pull you down.

Hugs to you all

Is blogland being funny again?

I just ask because I have logged on ok, everything seems to be fine until i try and catch up with friends postings.

First one I check out is Paddy - hmm can see side bars, but can't see any posts. So I look up friends postings and yes he has posted something according to that, so why can't I see it?

This has happened with a couple of others as well.

hmmmmm.

then check out a couple of other posts which I can't reply to.

Obviously yesterdays shananigans are continuing.

Lovely evening last night around a friends house, lots to talk about, lots to drink and eat and fun had by everyone. Been out and about today looking for various plants and pots to go into the garden. Came home to find that my friends daughter has tried contacting me, but I don't have her phone number to ring her back and my son didn't ask her for it when she phoned either! Hope it is nothing serious.

And now i am trying to get some gardening done, but not a lot of it is happening at all. It is colder today than it was yesterday as well, hope the sun returns!

Have a good afternoon everyone.

Mildred, 93, was despondent over the

recent death of her husband Earl,

so she decided to just kill herself

and join him in death.

Thinking it would be best to get it

over with quickly, she took out Earl's old

Army pistol and made the decision to

shoot herself in the heart since it was

so badly broken in the first place.

Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and a burden to someone, she called her doctor's office to learn her heart's exact location.

"Since you're a woman,"

the doctor said, "your heart is just below your left breast. Why do you ask?"

She hung up without answering.

Later that night,

Mildred was admitted to the hospital

with a gunshot wound to her knee.

Hubby dared me to post this email I got earlier so I am

I went to Galveston yesterday and engaged in a nice conversation with this lady. What prompted my speaking with her were the great sunglasses she was wearing. I wanted to get a pair of them for my wife.
