PHOTOS, FISH AND PHEWWWW!

Hello everyone,

I`m here at last after another day when I thought I`d not have time to post an entry.  I`ve just read the journals at breakneck speed, but only commenting on a handful I`m afraid.  I have a few replies to comments left on yesterday`s entry, here goes:

For Jan, the answer is "luncheon meat"

For Sara,  " I don`t think they do but you could always look in Matalan!"

For Lisa Jo, " No we don`t, we have to throw them back."

For Sylvia, "Thanks for tip but we`ve already tried it."

Now back to today...well yesterday actually.  Jim`s fish photos as promised.  He was disappointed with most of them because the unknown angler who took the photos had mud on his hands and that got on the camera lens.  These two are the mud-free ones!

The14 and a half pounder!

The cygnet who almost attacked him...well it DID hiss at him...lol!

This afternoon I washed Jim`s weighing net as the smell was appalling.  Despite the fact that he keeps it in the garage the smell was overpowering, so I brought it home and now it smells of fabric conditioner.  No wonder fish live in the water when they smell so terrible...phewww!

After lunch at the garden centre cafe, we walked around and looked at some plants.  I bought a big pot of wallflowers to put in a tub and a large bag of compost.  I still haven`t finished planting outside yet, so on Saturday or Sunday I`ll have to get outside and finish the job, including planting the narcissis bulbs that I`ve had for ages.

We went to see Jim`s mum today, it`s such a shame as she doesn`t recognise us at all now, but she talks to us and is usually pleased that someone is there.  We went on to visit his sister and had cups of tea and coffee cake and a long chat.  We talked a lot about our respective grandchildren, and the love we have for them.  I told her how much it meant to me when I realised that Roman recognised me, she told me that feeling never goes away regardless of their age.  She`s right...it will stay with me forever.

Last night I watched Elizabeth  on TV and it was a delight to watch Helen Mirren act her heart out in the title role.  I read an interview with her and she claimed to have played the role with the qualities of Margaret Thatcher, Saddam Hussein and Madonna .  That`s quite an unusual mixture...lol!  I hope she gets an award for the part because she certainly deserves it.

Still no luck on the job front for me.  I must go to and sign on at the Employment agencies a.s.a.p. as I really need a to earn some money for Christmas.  Anyone out there need some hired help ?....lol!  On Monday I will go into town and see what`s going for me.

I haven`t seen Roman since yesterday and I doubt I`ll see him until Monday now.  On Sunday he is going with Kerry and Slava to a birthday party in Rotherham.  They are only going for the day and it is a long drive there and back, at least three hours each way and they`ll share the driving, but I`ll worry about them going all that way in the car. 

Update on Danny, he sent a cryptic message by text about his relationship.  I can only assume that he and his girlfriend have made up....again.  So I can relax for now. I`d love life to go smoothly for him, I really would.  But this is one thing he must sort out for himself.  I can only say that by the time he does my hair will be completely grey, or worse still, it will have fallen out!

Well, that`s all from me tonight.  I hope you have a lovely day followed by an equally lovely weekend.  Take care all of you.
