First topic message reminder :

One last job to do -now where did I put those bingo tickets????
Granddaughter coming today - lucky for her I have built a new trampoline and scooter!!
Bit of a grey start but supposed to be brighter later

Good morning, its very dark but dry and I cannot sleep due to having a rotten ear infection that is driving me bonkers.

Morning Bob and all
Off to Broads in a few minutes -hope traffic is not too busy!

Oh Dear Bob you two are really going through the mill hope things improve pretty quick . And hope you have a good few days Pete

morning all, well the rain we had yesterday has brought my hay fever on "Big style" and woke up this morning with another backache from hell, so I'll be resting up for a couple of days. I think my brain keeps forgetting my age and thinks I'm still 22!

Good morning Homers
We had thunder and lightening and very heavy rain last night. Hope everyone stayed safe.

Bob hope you and Barbara are soon on the mend. You are both going through a very rough patch.

Hia
Well I am home after a 2hour go slow no sorry I will correct that a stop, start carpark on the Wrexham to Chester by pass not sure if it was 2 or 3 miles we covered

Lost the will to live and when finally on the motorway I wasn't taking any prisoners think it was a 7 or 8 hour journey in the end grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Good morning Homers
Where is the great storm that was supposed to hit us today? No rain or wind here in North Yorkshire.

Sorry to hear you had a stop start journey home Polly. That is why I don't like travelling on main routes FrI day and Saturday in busy periods.

Hia

Yes Joyce even Adele told me to pull up and stay over somewhere
Not been in that kind of traffic for years 

Mind you we were stuck just as we went passed a slip 
road to get of just round the bend was the bumper to bumper traffic till the next slip road which was the round about where it had been made into a single lane instead of 3 to the next roundabout which was near and that was a one lane but the men were working on the roundabout.

Big storm here at Rutland water - thunder and lightning with heavy rain.
Good fun sailing in it though !

Hia

Breezy here this morning but dry.

Mark it started raining Sunday afternoon but we didn't have the forecast gales. Believe the worst of Bertha has missed us and hit the east coast regions with a caravan site at Scarborough being flooded. Hope no one has been hurt.

His

After dropping out of the Burford meet due to me having a meltdown with the M6
Well I have to blame something and as I have said before I don't like the M6

Anyway daughter took me to watch our George racing at Preston Dock.
He came 3rd overall today and he as another day tomorrow.

They will be home Monday and then I am taking our Georgie to Bakewell on Tuesday for a few days.

Thought you were all in Burford? 

We only did two nights there, visiting Adeles sister for a couple of days now

Back home following what turned out to be a small unarranged Homers meet at Fraisthorpe. 

Peter we did not get the storms you suffered on the south coast but we did have rough seas on Monday through to Tuesday.  Apparently there were large crabs and lobsters washed up on the beach on Wednesday morning. Unfortunately the seagulls got to them first.

Just the washing to do, restock the van with food oh and some paperwork to do and then ready for the off again early in September.

Good morning Homers
The children go back to school on Tuesday here and the weather forecast says summer weather is returning. No change there then.
Just for a change went back to work yesterday and did an accident recovery. Someone must have had their holiday head on because they drove straight out in front of a wagon. They were airlifted to hospital whilst the wagon driver was checked out ok. He said he was shaken but not stirred. So had retained his sense of humour.

Morning all,Well the rain has started & it's pi$$ing down, but should stop around lunchtime, better get in the garden to continue the building work.

Hi Mark

Exactly the same here, where it's always grim up north, rain and more rain early on, but by 2pm warm sunshine, bit breezy though.

Just fitted a £3 (expensive eh?) car boot sourced cd / radio in the van....it's a temporary fix while I look for a better one with probably a usb port etc.

Next job....led strips to replace the fluorescents, already replaced all the spots.

regards
Allen

Hia

Weather as been lovely this weekend
Rained during the night on Friday

Heard are George came off  at Doncaster MotoX at weekend 
He's ok broken wrist I think will find out more about what happened then bore you with it 

Was wild Sunday night at Southport - the van was rocking - but it was just the wind !

Well believe you Peter. Ahem

Agree Polly overall the weather was quite warm this weekend and dry especially for the fireworks. But then we always seem to have good weather for the majority of our meets.

Good Morning all

Sun is shining at the moment
Will make a move and take Izzy for a walk.

But the thought is there

Arrived home to find Internet telephone line is dead. Colin reported it on Monday and engineer was to repair it Wednesday. So far no engineer and one dead telephone line. Spent this morning on the other phone trying to sort it out. Fed up of listening to piped music.
Sunny but breezy here and the temperature is dropping.

Good morning
Suddenly hit me that it's Saturday!! Where has the last week gone? So it's back to reality and get the washing finished.

Fine dry and cold out better get some more washing hung out.

Hia

Well talk about feeling down
Made a chicken curry and that helped a little but still feel a miserable bugger . Our George came round and I was short with him and that's not me 

Shorter days and loooonnng dark nights Polly. They make me feel down too. Think of the next outing in motorhome. Works for me.

Just waiting for the clocks to go back and then my "SADS" set in I really do hate this time of year and November is the worst month, that is why we are heading for a month in the sun. 

Make your house brighter—trim the bushes around your windows and keep your blinds and curtains open during the day. Use bright colors on walls and light-colored upholstery. Get up early to take advantage of as much daylight as possible. If possible, sit near a window stay away from dark places ie under the sheets.dont wear dark clothing.do all this and you will be cured.
please send your 25 dollars to above adress.giovanni.

Good morning all

Good morning Homers
Back from Dr's having had yet more blood extracted by Dracula.
Horrible weather here cold and drizzly. Think winter is on its way.

Morning all, just been to fill gas up, out at the weekend come rail hail or shine.

Hia

Had a not to bad afternoon yesterday then last evening the stabbing pain began in my back up near my shoulder. Went to bed and when I got up this morning no pain now it as come back with vengeance uggggggg

Let's see what tomorrow brings

Hope your back pain has eased Polly. I think you shouldn't be in so much pain now and if it was me I would go and see another GO for a second opinion.

Foggy here this morning so it's like a November morning. Just realised in just over two weeks it will be November.

Hia

Morning all
It is a lovely morning
Yes I am being very positive today ( how long it will last I don't know)
Of to Ti chi and see what I can do there
Spoke to my brother on Skype last night and they are coming to a England in November for a few weeks to cool down. We will then chat about when i am going to visit
Joyce my doc is a one man band so no other docs to see.
I will visit again next week if no better and possibly go to the physio see what they say.
I know now that if I had had a drink poos I would have fallen better and it wouldn't hurt 
As I would have been relaxed and not tensed up grrrrrr

Never mind onward and upward
Whatever that means

Did mange to make our Tilly an Elsa cape , well it's just a piece of material cut out , but she can be Elsa or even super girl -------- no Ken super girl not super gran   
Well must move myself

Good Morning Homers

Raining here at the moment but supposed to dry up later.

Have been interviewed on the radio this morning regarding a Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation [CPR] course run locally by Radio York and British Red Cross which I attended some years ago.  Was asked if I had used any part of the course since - which I have.

We came across an accident in the very early hours one morning near Dundee.  A car was on the wide grass verge with a screaming female passenger and the driver was in total shock just staring into space. The car had been hit by a wagon the driver was hobbling down the road to see if they were still alive.  Had to call the emergency services and get the wagon driver into a warm vehicle because he was in shock. Colin disconnected the car battery as we couldn't gain access to the car.

Then there was the accident which occurred in front of me when waiting at a road junction to turn right. The injured man phoned me when he left hospital to thank me for helping him.

For quite some time I have been saying that CPR should be taught in schools as it is a life skill.  Well someone must have been listening, because today 12000 secondary school children in North Yorkshire are being taught CPR by the British Heart Foundation and Yorkshire Ambulance Services.

Today I went to Carlisle airport and relaxed in the sun for a couple of hours, listened to the radio and had coffee. Now felling de-stressed.

Just to save confusion, mine is the grey one.
