Yawn ... wakey, wakey ...

morning gogs, woo and helen, trust you all are fine and well.
weather is awful this morning, going shopping shortly.
have a nice day

 

Hi Marley Farley and welcome back!
So pleased to hear that you have bought that glass bottom boat...I have never been in one, must be great to see all the fish swimming under your feet. Are they reasonable in price those boats? Do you have to pay a tax each year to own it?
I see what you mean after the visit to the hospital...it opens your eyes. In spite of that people there are generally happy... you don't really need a lot to be happy, it is just that: the more you get and the more you want...
But this applies not only to Jamaica, but lots of poor places around the world, where they have beautiful flowers...

 

Marley,It does sound pretty awful out there,I shall think twice before I complain next time about rip off britain.I do hope as you say that things will change for the better for those poor people but I think that will be a long time down the line :eek: Glad that you were able to help out though and that you had a good time over there.

Shiney it looks like you had a good time over there as well.Didn't realise you had gone away.We get so used to you dissapearing from time to time,I never think you are away. :D

Sorry to hear that you had no heating when you got up.Perhaps your system wants bleeding

Rosa,I have seen the tins of sweets in Tescos,two tins for �£9.I will tell Mr kandy to get some for his dad he likes them.They were selling boxes of mincepies with the eat by date of 27th November.What good is that if you want them for xmas and they had shelves full of them,so stupid....

Just off to give Myrtle a polish inside ready for her service on Thursday and then I shall try to wash her tomorrow.Enjoy afternoon everyone...

 

By Kandyfloss:

I shan't.

 

neither will i, :D goa is the same they have very poor people that srape by, us holidaymakers are their bread and butter and we always help the kids as much as we can, normally every couple takes a shine to one child and buys them something,
we buy rice for the mother and sweets for the little ones.
The youger lads that work in the shacks havnt got much so we help them out buy them clothes and pocket money and drinks in the day.
lovely photos shiney

 

Morning Woo and everyone, springing about all over the place Woo hope you are ok now, Marley thats some adventure for you the only thing is you will see that sort of trauma every day good luck to you, like john I will still complain about the nhs if not we will end up like it is over there, Shiney that view from firefly is just like the view from my back door, welcome back Helen I know you are there somewhere, have a safe day everyone.

 

Morning Woo, Walnut and all.

Shiney just love the picture of that view where the bronze of Noel Coward overlooks the bay.

I wonder did you take any pictures of his grave?

I'm no longer fit enough to take pictures of single war graves so Bob takes me around to do the famous ones.

We managed to find a few but the one below was the most haunting as she is only famous because of the way she was killed. :(



Notice how even today her original stone is still maintained with love and care.
Helen.xxx.

 

Good morning All.

Hope you are all ok this morning...

Helen, Shiney did take a photo of the grave. the photo is the one with the vase of flowers on it.I have lots of photos of the American War cemetary in Cambridgeshire,but I don't usually take photos of graves.

I want a green burial so as I have no children there won't be a problem with anyone tending my grave as I will be helping to make a new woodland..It's easy being green

Enjoy your day everyone

 

Good morning again to all of you sleepy heads I missed first time round :D

John I think you misunderstood me yesterday when I was talking about rip off Britain,I know we are all being conned by every goverment that comes in to power always have done always will do.Unless you were born into wealth or have aquired wealth along this path of life we will always feel like we are being screwed. :rolleyes:

I was actually on about the fact that we have a NHS,where we can get things done on occassions,and yes I know the NHS is in a crisis,what I meant was at least we are not like those poor souls who probably die because they haven't got the money to pay for treatment etc.We could all change the world if we had the power to do so but unfortunatly our hands are tied.
That is why I like watching programmes like The Secret Millionaire on TV tonight,as it shows that there are caring people in this world who started with nothing and though they have now made it big,they have given some of it back to less fortunate people.It has me in tears every time I watch the programme

Shiney,your arms weren't long enough,as I didn't see you waving.Would giving money to the Egyption kids help them more than pencils?

Now I must dash as I have to wash Myrtle ready for tomorrow...

Enjoy the rest of your day folks

 

Good morning everyone.
