Hello Ed, dinner done. Well it was leftovers. I don't consider you weird. Humorous yes! That is a good thing. If you had attended a gathering of my mother's family you would have blended right in. Everyone had something funny or witty to say. And we were all fairly weird. A Great Uncle who lived as a hermit, my Great Grandmother who had her pet pekinese dogs stuffed by a taxidermist and kept them inside near her front door. I loved playing with them as a child. Her husband, my Great Grandfather  who captured snakes, lizards scorpions etc and then preserved them in huge jars that were kept on the dresser for all to see. My brother loved them. I didn't. Their son, my Great Uncle who built a doll's house out of plastic knitting needles and also created a magical fern garden with tinkling glass mobile that he made. Oh and he decorated the bathroom/ toilet with paper masks that came from Kellogs cereal packets. Haha, I have just been briefly describing my weird family and the house that I called my fairy house. Not that it is a competition but I think that I came from a weird family and loved each and everyone of them. I think that being weird is good.

Good morning Ed
My dad had a sidecar, but I don't remember it. I've seen pictures of me and my sister in it. I think he had a Triumph. It had an enormous headlamp.
He then bought a Reliant because it was a three wheeler and you could drive it on a motorcycle licence.
Heavy rain due. We are off to Douglas to shop and then Ramsey for lunch.
Have a good day

Hello Ed, TY for the Mallard. If you have the same drem again then it is something that you have to work out. Otherwise forget it. I realised during the afternoon that I don't need the expense of a Tree Surgeon as the tree is late. It is on the ground. I can get my gardener to chain saw it up. He is away at the moment but as the tree is not in the way I can wait. I could perhaps ask the lad across the road to do it or a least get a start on it. He occaisionally works for my gardener and he also loves having outside fires in a pit so he most likely would want the wood. Netflix now has the film of the first 'Thursday Murder Club.' Helen Mirren plays Elizabeth. Pearce Bronson plays Rob. I enjoyed it although not as good as the book. Now to prepare dinner. Laters.

Hello Ed, TY for the Golden Dragon. Shannon arrives Sunday. Yes, it is sad when a family pet dies. That must have terrible for you so soon after your father's passing. Re. your dream.... I know that you are worried about Tracey. Are you also worried about money either for Tracey or yourself? Sorry that's the best I can come up with. We are having high winds here and last night one of my trees fell over. No damage to buildings. I will wait until the new week to get it removed. I have a feeling that the tree loppers are working overtime due to the wind. And I don't want to pay weekend rates. I cant get into the Lee Child book and it is interesting as Diane's son, Kevin, told me that he also struggled with the same one. So I might just give it up as I have so many books waiting to be read. Enjoy your day.

splashed-- Instead of the Perils of Pauline we have the Trials of Ed. or something==but you tried and having to carry in help to accomplish a reasonable end seems to work- Glad the door is fixed and all your valuble stuff is  safe once again. Glasses should be ready in a week(probably longer because this is the long weekend Labour Day) Off to get the rest of my stuff done Kevin will be over again because a lot of stuff is on sale at the grocery store that I want. Have a good day

I watched the Europeon DP tour from Switzerland.

Thanks for the PD!

Hello Ed, TY for the Golden Dragon. Re. your dream, I will think about the questions I will have for you tomorrow. As the dream woke you  it is an important one. Meanwhile I really must go to bed. Enjoy your day.
