24/7

Will do that, BBQ we built ourselves a couple of years ago, a family project, the kids loved mixing cement. The bonus was; we got to do it twice as our first mix was too dry!

Looks like the sun is out again, leaving some fresh apple and orange lollies in the freezer, just leave empty moulds in the sink I'll wash them this afternoon.

love Jakki x

Hi All,

Hope your all doing the best you can, just popping in, to see how your all doing, had a busy few days and feeling a little jaded this morning, lovely evening with friends celebrating becoming a great aunt, the 1st of that generation in the family, so lovely to enjoy something good after all the traumas of the last year, hoping you can all find something to smile about today even if its just another sunny day, before this lovely weather breaks in time for the weekend.

Thanks all for the lovely food, put a bottle of bubbly on the table for you to share my lovely news.

Out again tonight but won't be drinking, I'm the designated driver for the evening, so will pop in much later when I get home for a night cap.

Thinking of you all xxx

Congratulations on the new arrival. Hope u get lots of cuddles. I am set for a stressful weekend as family move in with me for a while whilst lopking for new home. Rotten landlord gave notice just as Rays funeral. Second time they have had to move in 8 months. Big grandson two little ones daughter and partner dog and cat! Wait for my screams

Congratulations, Polarbear, I bet those cuddles will be wonderful!

Carol,

Hope the christening goes well, and you enjoy the Derbyshire visit, wave to Jakki while your there, hope you and your friends enjoy the quiz tonight.

Christine,

Hope the family moving in has gone well and you enjoy their company, and you do manage to get some free time to yourself, and you have a lovely trip to Brighton when you go.

Moomy,

I once got to be a second stage match to donate for someone I was on the Anthony Nolan donor list , I got very excited about doing something so special, but after further blood tests I was stood down, health issues now mean I am unable to donate, but glad your daughter found a donor. Hope you get chance to use the bbq again soon.

Lynda,

Glad you managed your holiday to Spain, and most of it was ok and hopefully your tan will last a while. I enjoyed your photo from your lounge window at home, you are so lucky to be living in such a beautiful place, what lake is it in the background? we loved our trip up a few weeks ago and always feel happy there.

Mary,

Hi PolarBear,

the lake is Windermere, I'm on the quiet side of the lake (the other side from Bowness). 

It it is a beautiful place and I appreciate having the opportunity to live here.

no sunshine today although it is dry, but very cold.
