Hi Sam, sure sounds like we do have a similar work background. I floated a lot between different assignments, l went where l was needed most. Some jobs no official training but common sense and respect for everyone's dignity was how l got the job. One job had over 1000 applicants with qualifications, and a panel who decided who would get the contract .. l got it with none. Previous references gave me the edge..so proud and honoured.
Yes its strange how much we and families have in common isnt it lol. .
Yes going fine, my teenage granddaughter is coming this weekend for me to meet her boyfriend of a few months bless her. Oh yes been there lovely having family to stay but it can be tiring too. l am doing extra cleaning jobs l normally put off until the last minute lol. . Oh yes l dont blame them, my saying is l am old not dead... yet. We only have one life and having fun makes sense , helps you live longer and happier. Taking care thanks Hun, resting after chores and shopping for goodies for the visit on Saturday. Have a good day Hun , love and hugs xxx

Hi Angela, I'm think you and my hubby definitely have a lot in common x he did take a year out to work full time at a young adults day centre for a charity called Barnabus which is all about supporting young adults with their own independence and living quarters. He loved it but our offspring were coming up to college age so he had to go back to a well paid job. Hopefully he'll switch again when the time is right.

And my sister sounds just like yours, is a toughy but also the kindest , giving person.. she's called Kendra x

Hope your week is going well. We're having a week of hubbies family being around as it's his neices 18th and parents 60th wedding anniversary celebrations. Think I might sleep for a week after. They do party well for their age 😁💕.

Lots of love. Take care xx

I had agoodday school run went well Margot was full of her smiley  engaging self,  got her home and sorted with supper brought some rubbish for green bin home with me and got sorted before the heavens opened with torrential rain and Thunder. What a storm rumbled around for ages, no plans me today doing a roast beef light veg  meal today, no roast potatoes J is trying to lose some weight he’s down my 4 kg, doing well so new pots it is , hope a ev is doing ok Angela still waiting for anew date ? enjoy your day sweet friend sending much love your way, xx

Hi Angela, that was really kind of Josh. Imogen was really chuffed and says a big thank you x

5 brothers!! Wow! That must have been tough and scary for early boyfriends 😊X are you the youngest?  My younger sister was the scary one growing up although she did stick up for me when she wasn't making my life miserable herself 😆. She lives in Texas now and I miss her loads but we are meeting in France for two weeks in August and I can't wait.

What kind of volunteering did you do before you retired if you don't mind me asking?

My hubby drives a minibus in his spare time for Poole disabled club. They meet every other Wednesday evening for a social get together. It can be bingo (hubby always has to be the caller , the only job he's not so keen on😁), sometimes a singer etc .. and hubby picks everyone up and takes them home again. He also helps with Poole Sailability as he used to sail when younger.  His ideal job would be working with young disabled adults . Sadly it doesn't pay enough for a full time job at the moment but when he gets near retirement that is what he'll go and do.

Lots of love .. have a great day ahead 🥰xx

Hi there
Whew hardly any yellow chameleons today!
But Ive been away a lot
So - Im guessing I need to keep spotting yellow until a second flower turns green now?

Mornign Angela,
Sorry about last message,
Your garden is that riot of gorgeous colour Hun, there seems to be much now said about the Covid Jabs, I happen to feel like you about self preservation with home remedies.  I do think maybe if you have serious lung problems you might be forced to stick with it . Raining here but this morning much needed , not sure how long it will last but a soaking would be good to the crops in the fields. I’ll not see Dad today as I saw him Sunday, just an afternoon school run for me , and supper with the little ones, it’s much cooler now Hun suits us Brits better , you have lovely Tuesday much love to you both take care xxx
