Moan, moan, moan - 2013

[Margaret]

My old and trusty computer died today.   We spent many happy hours searching for plants on google. I'm typing on one of Tom's (hubby's) rejects and it feels weird. He tells me I need a chrome book!

[Maggi Young]

Commiserations, Margaret - but I'm told that Christmas is coming - soon - perhaps you should take Tom up on his suggestion and ask for one as a gift from Santa?

[annew]

Won't you have to polish it??

[Margaret]

We still have duraglit for Chrome (blue tin) somewhere!

It's been one month , one day since I went for my job interview ......I'd really like to know if I've got through to the second round ! At least they haven't said no yet ......

[Brian Ellis]

At least they haven't said no yet ......

Well that's good, we are all on tenterhooks Emma, perhaps it will be an early Christmas present.

[Maggi Young]

It will seem an eternity to you, Emma - but I think most folks do things at a painfully slow pace nowadays.
Chin up, Chuck!

Various things going on at the moment , really, really could do with some good news , because at the moment I'm not feeling very happy . Some people I know could really do with a brake .

[Maggi Young]

Emma, you need a good cuddle with a French Bulldog - or two ....   or I could send three furry white westies for a change of canine company  to cheer you .....

I would be moaning about the weather - but I have my own Snowdrop Hat to keep my bonce warm so I'm calm!

Hang-in there Emma, only think positive thoughts

Glad to see you haven't been blown away Maggi. Hardly been a breath of wind all day down here but very grey and overcast and a bit of drizzle in the air (just a usual Devon day really!)

[Maggi Young]

I'm still here, David - got out with the dogs  mid-morning when the sun came out briefly and the wind died down a bit - we were hailed on all the way home though, but not as wild as it was before, with rain, or since, with snow.
The planes going over on their way to the airport ( about 6- to 8 miles away as the EasyJet flies) are tipping and rolling in a most alarming fashion. Not a great day to fly!

Bit worried about the slim-line BD who is out at the moment - his chances of getting to and from his afternoon swim and gossip with his pals in the steam room  in this weather must be  kind of  slim, too. If he's not back by five pm I'll call out the rescue services - or phone all chums on the continent in case he's heading in their direction like a kite!

Love that Maggi. I suppose being a bit on the heavy side sometimes has its benefits  All my white chocolate buttons are all gone now but it will soon be Xmas and hopefully my cupboards will get stocked up again. Now thats good news.

Emma keep your chin up, Life has its ups and downs and I know this, hopefully life will be good for you soon. Take care.

Maggi, have you tried putting copious amounts of lead in his socks? Still I suppose that as lead is only of one colour he won't like that!

I believe central Scotland has had it pretty bad with power cuts, bridges closed, rail services cancelled and schools shut.
