LIMP MAGNOLIAS

Hello.... I`m a bit late in the day with this entry I`m afraid.  I wanted to post a ghost story but I`ve not been able to come up with anything worth posting.  I`ll just have to try harder tomorrow as I`m sure there are some decent spooky tales to tell.  Thanks for all the comments about my problems with AOL.  I tried re-booting, that helped, I cleaned up by deleted the temporary internet files and cookies. All seems to be okay today.  So it must have been one of those things.

The weather is dark, gloomy and wet.  The sort of day you don`t want to go out, and if you were not feeling low this morning you will be by tonight! Yuk.... just too miserable for me.  Bring back Spring with the beautiful blossom and magnolia flowers. My magnolia is all limp and sad looking and is past its best for this year.  I didn`t take any photos of it because the flowers aren`t as dense as they usually are and even Jim remarked that it looked a bit bare.  One year it didn`t even flower at all so I suppose I should be grateful for the few that are there!

I`m still awaiting the arrival of the toilet brush.  I was told the delivery was scheduled for March 31st, but Jim said the money had been taken out already on this months Mastercard bill.  Hmm... they don`t usually do that until they have despatched the goods.  We`ll see.......As our anti-virus is due for renewal, we decided to have the Norton Security package with firewall. In some places they are very expensive but we bought ours from Amazon, who were the cheapest at £29.99.  The prices do vary a great deal though. PC World is so expensive, they wanted £60!

Jim is settling down to watch the football tonight with England playing Azerbyjhan.  I don`t think I spelt it right but we should beat them anyway. Not that I`ll be watching, I`ll probably stay up here till quite late and leave him to it just in case England lose...I can`t stand to see a grown man cry lol....

Thats it then. I will leave you with a little something from my `magic book`  Bye for now and have a nice evening.
