Thursdays Scribblings

Hello everyone,

I hope you`re having a great Thursday, it`s cooler today than it has been but still mild, if you see what I mean.  You probably know by now that there is a top security alert at all our airports today.  Jim is really pleased that it`s his day off today because he reckons he be sitting around all day doing nothing.  If the planes aren`t going anywhere they won`t need any fuel.  I really feel for the people who are supposed to be flying today but better the disruption than a major incident.  The Home Secretary, John Reid said this is very, very serious and I hear that two men have been arrested, but for what I don`t know.  We have friends returning from a holiday in Egypt and should be in the air at the moment, my guess is that they will still be at Sharm-el-Sheikh airport waiting to be told their plane can land in the UK.

Right, changing the subject from doom and gloom, I`ve had a reeally nice day myself.  Tescos this morning, though Jim drove because I`m not allowed to until tomorrow, and then to the garden centre cafe for lunch.  It was nice to be out and about doing normal things instead of moping about indoors.  I popped into the doctors surgery to see the practise nurse about my poor swollen throat.  She told me it`s not infected but badly bruised from the intubation tube.  She said that sometimes they can be a bit rough putting the tube in..ROUGH ?  I can hardly swallow it`s so painful, I don`t ever remember it being this bad before...grrr! 

I`ve found a couple of old photos that I thought you might like to see:

Kerry aged 13 , Daniel aged 11 and Jim aged 36 with hair and much slimmer, bless him!  None of them know that I`ve posted this photo and I don`t intend telling them...lol!

This is the wedding photo of my Nanna and Grandad, Emily Ellen Scott and Charles William Smith.  They were married sometime in 1912 in Chatham, Kent but the exact date is unknown. Grandad drove an ambulance along the front lines in France in WW1 but was invalided out in 1917.  I don`t know what happened to him but he walked with a heavy limp afterwards. My Dad was the second child of five children that lived to adulthood, I know for sure that there was one other who died just after birth. Their eldest child, my Auntie W is still alive aged 92,  and is still in good health.

I forget to tell you that at last I have Bookworm back on the computer.  In the end I paid for it again because I didn`t want any more hassle from Yahoo, they were as much use as a chocolate teapot and I won`t be asking them for help again ...lol!

On Saturday morning Kerry and Slava finally move into their new flat.  I`ll have Roman from 10am and will take him home in the evening.  I expect we`ll be taking him out in the afternoon, there is a really good playground for tinies at Black Park so I think we`ll go there and give Jake a walk at the same time. Tomorrow we are taking Roman to see his Great-Grandmother, Jim`s mum, and then to see his sister.  It`ll give Kerry some much needed time to herself and us some quality time with the Little Man.

That`s it from me for today, I have journals to read, though not very many.  J-Land seems very quiet today, it must be the Summer holidays!  I hope you all have a lovely day, Take care and Bye Bye. :o)
