I know the feeling Gem, but they DO pass

Its like the song "i'm to young to feel this dam old".  Lilo Lil had been to the vet after some fool had left a fish hook on the rocks.

As much as Mrs C tells me she loves me, there is no chance of me letting her loose with a razor near my throat, thankyou very much !  smile2

Good morning everyone. My day started well !!!! The carer arrived for mum and she wouldn't wake up. She kept pulling the covers over her and closing her eyes again. At the finish I had to tell her that if she didn't wake up properly I would send Lucia home and she would have to stay dirty until tomorrow morning . ( Lucia only comes in for an hour on sunday as a favour)

So left her to think about it. Breakfast crunchy nut cornflakes was served to her but she left them too long so they were soggy and wouldn't eat them. Gave her some more but she was very very angry. Told Lucia not to worry she'd soon forget.

Minutes later I heard mum say something to her but only heard the last couple of words and Lucia doesnt understand english, so I went to mum to ask her what she'd said.

" A little bit of wind that started from the heart it did a downward turn and then became a f@@t."

Poor girl she didnt know whether to laugh or cry.

Windows all done now comes the job of clearing up, what a mess hope it doesn't rain. It doesn't look promising. A cousin ( a builder is collecting the old ones to take to the tip) so hopefully we can clear all the bits and pieces and all the shavings etc

What a lovely area Gem . I must start walking again. All the grape vines are starting to sprout so its interesting to see how they progress every day. There are plenty of nice walks around us but to start they are all uphill. We live in a valley but we are high up. Sounds daft I know but the village is split in two. The old part and new. We are in the old part mostly old farmhouses. Lovely and quiet though except in the summer for the vendemmia when its tracters , tracters and more tracters carrying grapes.

Hope you enjoyed your walk.

I had to laugh catfan, I saw your post just after I finished Chris's monthly hair cut, ear and eyebrow pampering. He looks so sweet now, posing in front of the mirror with pursed lips. How ever that man trusts me near his ear holes with a pair of very pointy scissors, I'll never know.  Must be love.:crazy:

It’s my other day really, but I’ve been busy! After reading the NEP article about Long Stairs that Catfan posted in the “Then and Now” thread, I got in touch with Janine Tanner who led the team that cleared up the steps. As she doesn’t have a website, I signed up for a Facebook account (at my age!) so I could keep up with future projects, that the group might get involved in (“Notts History – Honour our Heritage” if anyone’s interested).

She also has another group called “Nottingham’s Railways Remembered” so I signed up for that an all! I’ll soon have thousands of “friends”! Their “header” image is a lovely painting of the Weekday Cross signal box by Rob Rowland, who I’d never heard of before. Don’t quite know what the situation is with PostImage, so I’ll just put in a link to the painting .. https://www.railart.co.uk/print-shop/great-central-weekday-cross

Lots of lovely back-street paintings with a railway theme, bit like Jack Vettriano. Then I stumbled across “Nottingham – Way Back When”, so I joined that too.

What with Nottstalgia and all my new “friends”, my input to my son’s new garden, school runs, baby sitting …. how did I ever find time to work!?

Just look at you AfferGorritt, you’ll be logging onto Facebook all day long now, in case you miss something.  Apparently Facebook is more for ‘our’ age group now, all the youngsters use something else, but I’ve not figured out what yet.   A few of us lot are on NWBW too.  It’s good and brings back lots of memories but the problem is that if you make a comment you get notified of everybody else’s comments on that photo, drives me mad.  

Enjoy your new hobby!

One of the problems with NWBW is its almost too popular . Everyone piles in with comments but rarely read the previous messages . To get any "likes" for a message is a rarity .

Having said that , had one surprise on the recent Gedling school thread on there ,  when the son of the family that bought the house I was born at Mapperley replied . They moved in when my parents sold it in 1966 and it was great to see some later photos .

Another problem is you can't start a thread on NWBW , only by PMing the admins who may or may not reply. You can however add pics to the thread they've started

Affergorrit, The following is accurate for the iPad - may be slightly different for a laptop.,

 

On the bottom of your Facebook page there are 4 symbols.  If you click/tap on the one with horizontal lines which says 'more' you will see a list which includes 'groups.'  If you click/tap on that, you should see any groups you've signed up to..

 

I see  you live in Mapperley... if you type Mapperley into the little all-blue earch box on the top of the Facebook page, some interesting groups/pages will drop down.  Click/tap on whatever looks interesting ..

 

You could try putting other other places in the search box as well.    Woodthorpe brings up 'Friends of Woodthorpe Grange' which has some good pictures
