How's your day?

[Beekay 4,275]

Cheers Nonna.xx

@RadFordee, alas, no, I can't make it up to nottingham on the 15th as the day after I'm off to Warner at Littlecote house in Wiltshire. We are meeting up with Tina's sister and hubby for a Friday to Monday break. It's something we've been doing for about 15 years, usually up to Thoresby Hall, North notts. As we lost our youngest son at Christmas we tend to keep a low profile, so we have family get together before. Hope this makes sense.x

It's raining so heavy and hard - and gone dark - some of the street lights have come on.

[Beekay 4,275]

That usually happens in winter CT.

Two good results today.
 

Consultant confirms my PSA level has dropped dramatically, so he's as confident as he can be that I’m now free of prostate cancer.

 

Then, I get a call from Virgin to offer me a deal, after I’d dropped most of what I had been paying for up to last month. Net result is that I get my broadband speed doubled, Sky Sports, Sky Movies, free calls anytime, and they’re even throwing Netflix in. All that for less than half of what I was paying before, although it will cost me an extra 1p a month over the basic package I had moved to.

Same here in Wolverhampton. Tuesday and today; unbelievable rainfall. It's rained more than I have seen for a very long time!

In may of 2020 when covid was rife it was our golden wedding anniversary and we had planned a party. But as it happened we had to cancel because of lockdown. Jump forward to this coming Monday, my 80 th birthday and party been arranged for a while , guess what my husband has received his phone call for the hospital and is being operated on Monday. He should have gone 2 weeks ago he was all ready to go last Thursday they rang him an hour after and said they’d brought it forward to Tuesday, Better still then another phone call stating they had emergency cases and they would let him know for another appointment. We should have placed bets on this being Monday but at least now he’s going to be operated. Isn’t it sods law?

Was very close to two IRA bombs in the 70s........first was the Birmingham pub bombings in 74......was doing a course there,,and went out for the night,, a couple of locals suggested the 'Mulberry bush' (which was bombed) luckily and oddly an Irish chap who was with us,,suggested another Pub and we went there.

              

Can't believe its 48 years ago today when i had one of my nine lives........Birmingham pub bombings.............1974...........

[philmayfield 5,364]

I’ve had three of my nine lives. One in the air, one on the road and one at sea. It’s difficult to imagine where the other six are going to be!

Worth a try. Must construct a rocket in the shed.

[catfan 14,782]

Went past here today. Absolutely disgraceful.

 

[LizzieM 9,232]

Yes Catfan, the Mercure that’s 100 yards along the road is also full of them too.  Then there’s the Ebers Hotel (was once the respectable ‘Woodville’) that’s apparently a ‘half-way house’, the police are forever there sorting out the residents.  It’s probably very difficult for visitors to Nottingham to find a hotel bed these days.

I suppose this should have been placed in buses thread but as it concerns my day, this is where it's staying. This morning our friendly postman delivered the BEST birthday present I've ever had. It consisted of a parcel containing two NCT buses. One AEC regent, which was the first bus I drove , with the number OTV151, my bus was OTV161. This was out of Bilborough depot, on the 16A route. The other bus is a Daimler fleetline, which was the last type of bus I drove before leaving in 1967. I'm sorry to bore the non-transport officianados but you cannot imagine my delight.

My sincerest million thanks to my benefactor, (you know who you are). It has brought than one tear to my eyes, as you cannot imagine how happy this has made me. Looking at them has taken me right back to the 1960s. From bottom of my heart, once again,

THANK YOU & GOD BLESS.  Barrie.

All we need now is for someone to shrink you so that you can get in and drive them!
