Hi guys,

Hope everyone is OK.

Although it was a good start, the kids did really well. We all got a goodie bag, the kids were directing the service vehicles and stopping spectators trying to go up there. Unfortunately the tragic news came through that someone was killed on the first stage. Bless the kids, they kept working, trying to get everyone out safely and stop more spectators getting up into the area. They did an amazing job and I was proud of all of them.

Got home about half an hour ago, going to have a nap before starting dinner. Mind you need to go get something for dinner first.

Intrigued now SECRET WEAPON??????

Come on spill the beans !!!!!!
Tin hat on awaiting impact

I read about that tragic news Lorraine Snowman Rally and immediately thought about you and your kids.

I couldn't settle this morning so at lunch time I chucked Lily in the car and we headed off and had a short walk, then we went to my mums as Lily hasn't been for a while and she likes it there as she always gets a custard cream. .
We left there and went up to my sisters stables and I nattered to her while Lily had a good sniff round.
Now we are home and I feel much better for getting out and it done Lily good to go somewhere different for a change.
We are out tomorrow morning for a greyhound walk so that will be nice too.
I've just seen on the weather its going to get cold again by midweek and snow at the end of the week, so must make the most of this weekend while its nice.

Thankfully Malka we weren't anywhere near it. But I spoke to a guy who saw it. Said it was a tragic accident, they were well off the track, there was nothing the driver could have done.

No Jenny she has been spayed, not sure what or why she is acting this way, hopefully she will settle soon.

No time to read 4 pages of posts. Just glad to hear you enjoyed a walk today Madmare. And Malka - I seem to have a missed Skype call from you? Sorry about that - the laptop, tablet and phone are always on and I am usually shown 'online' but not always by any of them. I've started packing my stuff up in earnest now and it's the busiest month of the year for me re my work (Mothers Day and Easter looming).

But I did start my day off with a lovely long walk in the sunshine up in Aliki Park above the Salt Lake where you can see the lake, the mountains and even the control tower at the airport in 3 different directions. Never known Cyprus to be so lush and green before. Will try to get pics off my phone.

When I got back I had my next door neighbour at my door in floods of tears. I am taking her and her hubby to the airport on Weds for a return to UK as her aged father is very ill. Well he died today before she could get there. She will at least be a comfort for her mum.

Hi again twix, apologies for my quick exit lunchtime before answering you but I didn't want to set this house on fire after all the effort Dave has put in of late!

Sorry to hear of that awful experience at the vets this morning, I would have been the same, I always am when I just know somebody is there with their poor old dog for the last fateful visit, it sets me off. Hope your own dog will be fine now with the ab's.

Hi again Jen, Yes, I expect I'm the same with my back problems not to mention Sally's, it's all due to being chucked off at some point (numerous points in my case!) always landing on that coxics hasn't done it any favours. I also blame my aching legs on that horse too, constantly cantering around the countryside, backside out of saddle leaning forward but looking ahead, yes, he sure has a lot to answer for that horse of mine!

Hi crystalgirl, We're always pleased to get a new member joining in, and as Tawneywolf says, mostly it's because we're a nosey bunch and like to know what everyone else is up to, so please feel free to spill! You are always welcome along with everyone else who likes to chip in here.

Hi again June, that's great news that Cariad has another clean bill of health there, she sure has been through a lot lately hasn't she, and I'm sure she too will be glad when everything is back to normal, especially her daily walks. Lol at you, I always think of you now when I'm in Asda rummaging about in that casualty department!!!

Blooming 'eck grandma you broke your neck????!!! AAAnd your back on an ice cream wrapper!!!! I hope you got to eat the ice cream before your demise You must really, really suffer after that trauma I'm sure.

Hi Lorraine, how terrible, especially with all the kids there Enjoy your well earned nap, you don't get many of those do you.

Hi Bev, so pleased to hear your mum and sister managed to pick you back up again today, and I'm sure it did Lily a lot of good too. Have a lovely time on that greyhound walk tomorrow and enjoy the sunshine.

Hi again Jackie, did you check her ears?? I hope she's settled now anyway, good luck with her.

Had the most beautiful sunset tonight, I took some pics of the pink sky over the woodland and will post it up later.

I was sooooo busy this morning dashing about, didn't eat till late in the end, and when I eventually had my lay down the bluddy phone went and woke me up so I got up!! Estate agents for Dave Just the saturday girl getting bored and told to ring round everyone to pester them

Might see what's on Box Office tonight, fancy an evening in the chair watching a film. This puter chair isn't doing my legs any good, they ache a lot more when I'm sat here, but that's cos I probably slouch over instead of sitting upright They didn't work too well down on the beach this morning, and then next minute, all is fine I really don't understand it. They feel like concrete, lead weights and they really ache. I had this before, but my lovely osteopath woman used to massage my backside really hard and when she'd finished voila, my legs worked again! All very odd, I must try and find a good local one and maybe she can do the same, but I'm worried if I tell her about the buttock massage I used to have, she might get the wrong first impression of me!!!!!

It was not my ice-cream wrapper Nechda -- a delightful child had left it at the top of a flight of stone steps down from my apartment to the ground floor and the blanketty blank woman who took money monthly for such things could not be @rsed to get the dead landing light replaced...

...so I adda naccident and let this be a warning to you all...

Yes H , her ears are fine xx
