BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY

          

Good Morning all!  I`d like to begin by thanking everyone who sent me cards, Ecards and good wishes for my birthday. It`s a lovely feeling to be remembered after reaching this great age...lol!  Thank you and thank you again so much   (((((((hugs))))))

Today being a Bank Holiday here in England, it will be very quiet.  We have no family coming to visit as they`ve all gone to the coast or off enjoying themselves, free from the restraints of having to visit aged parents, their duty done for a while at least!  So we will have a nice walk out with Jake this afternoon, have a nice quiet dinner when we feel like eating and then just crash out and watch the TV, if there is anything worth watching that is.  Did anyone watch ` Casanova` on BBC3?  We have and it was really good, quite funny too.  We just don`t get enough dramas on TV but now we have upgraded Freeview we have a lot more choice.  If I don`t find anything watchable there` always my beloved PC!

I`ve been out with my camera trying to get some good snaps here and there and I thought the best I have so far is this one of Jake (again).

            I just thought this was so funny.  Jim was merrily driving along when he saw him looking over the back seat of the car. HE told me to get the camera and take the photo.  To do this I had to turn right around and stick my head between the front seats to get it.  I felt like a contortionist and thought I might have got stuck in that position, which would have been difficult to explain had we been stopped by the police!  Everybody have a good day and if like us, you have sunshine, enjoy it....!
