    I think Elton's set gave me one of those 'I won't forget this' moments - sitting comfortably with my sofa seat reclined, Mr S pretending to be engrossed in a film on his ipad (he had said earlier that he wasn't much interested) - he was watching/listening and enjoying 🤣 the sun was setting on a very hot day and the two granddogs were sharing a space (quietly) right next to me...the only thing that I just can't understand is - why did he not ask me to sing 'Don't Go Breaking my Heart' with him? 🤷‍♀️ All family know that 'Don't Let the Sun go Down' is my 'funeral song' - I want the Elton and George Michael version - however it is very long so it might have to be at the end for people to leave to...(I do like to plan ahead!) Lewis Capaldi - I was in tears - incredible young man and the crowd were amazing - how must it feel to have 100,000 people singing your words when you just can't anymore ❤️❤️❤️

    No regrets young Froglet x

    😂 No - they do have one at home - I don't want a wet Golden retriever thank you! 🤦‍♀️ They have plenty of 'shady areas' to get into and doors open for them to come inside whenever they want - all good, just not the weather for rushing about!

    Oh my actual goodness - it is hot, hot, hot here! Ridiculous dogs have just been having a 'loon' around the garden - "stop, it's far too hot for that" - just fell on deaf dog ears 🤦‍♀️

    So pleased for you - enjoy xxx

    It is such a relief - she has been so resistant - I feel so sorry for her it must be complete rubbish to have to accept help and I know that I have to tread very gently so I have just (semi) sorted the kitchen and downstairs loo today - will have another go sometime soon

    😇 No idea - some people just have to lower the tone...

    Morning - 'tis Friday Granddogs are arriving today - I am a 'soft touch' - apparently if they come today it would be one less thing to do tomorrow! 🙃😂 Before that I am off to spend some time cleaning for my lovely mum-in-law - she has finally recognised that she needs a little help - she is 92 so about time ❤️ Weather is beautiful - long may it last... Hope everyone is okay and that the weekend is kind to all x

    Have we moved away from 'knickers' - who the heck started all that? 🤦‍♀️ Here is the 'one' - rationing ended the year that I was born!
  15. sunnyday
    Do you save wool for 'Sunday best'? 🤷‍♀️😂

    I'm loving this thread and the memories (very distant memories🤣) that it has stirred... Did anyone else have to do Primary school P.E. in just knickers and vest? I knew that wasn't quite 'right' at the time - the boys got to wear shorts, can't understand the thinking behind that one at all... Anyway - how lucky am I that I can remember such detail at the age of 103 🙃

    I had a lovely surprise yesterday As you know, I often look after my granddogs - the last time I had two of them my DIL loaned me her Dyson cordless saying "this is so handy" - I was so impressed with it and commented that I had thought of buying one until researched them and that they are just too expensive for me... When we turned up for granddaughter's birthday bash yesterday evening youngest son said "can you open your boot mum" - yes my lovely boys had bought one for me as a 'thank you' for looking after their doggos - how very kind of them! I have two granddogs arriving this Saturday for a two week stay + one more the following Friday for the weekend - never had three of them together before - it will be chaos - hope it's happy chaos!

    ....and (I'm back) Blackboard rubbers whizzing past my ear - teachers threw such rubbers at disruptive children - obviously I was a good girl so I was never the intended target 😇 My younger brother and I disappearing off on our bikes for hours, only going home when were hungry... My younger brother and I stealing matches so that we could make bonfires (thank goodness these never got out of control) Aunties - who were not family at all - I had Auntie Fuff (Florence) and Auntie Nin (Lilian) - they were lovely Using a metal 'grinder' to grind up horseradish - loved that job even though it was so strong it made my eyes water...

    Good grief you are soooo young (do your mum and dad know that you are out?) 🤣🤣🤣
  20. sunnyday
    Flippin' heck Sue - you are much older than I thought 🤣 I can identify with all of your points + we had so much delivered to the house (parent's house) a baker came with wooden trays that pulled out of his van laden with bread and lovely cakes, there was a fish van and a potato man too In the sweetie line I offer sherbet dip-dabs, jamboree bags and spangles The grocer shop in the village had rows of tins containing loose biscuits - so you could go along with a bag and chose a mix of biccies and wonder of wonders there was one such tin containing broken biscuits at a cut down price Everyone had their shoes mended - lovely 'blakies' great for some impromptu tap dancing! Satsumas, Quality Street, nuts, dates were only seen at Christmas Presents were only given on birthdays and Christmas Toast made with a long toasting fork over the open fire Ice on the inside of windows in the winter Radio Caroline, Radio Luxembourg... 🤣 Bet you wish you had never asked 🤣

    Crikey louby - it is so localised isn't it - we had the aforementioned overnight storms and then we had loads of rain yesterday afternoon/evening...
  22. sunnyday
    Oh my life - can you imagine! 🤣🤣🤣
  23. sunnyday
    We have middle granddaughter's birthday today (such a worry that she shares her birthday with Boris Johnson☹️ ) we are having an evening family celebration for her - I am very much looking forward to that - plans are for outside - but could be moved inside if necessary - although son will be pizza making in the outdoor pizza oven...hmm I don't mind holding an umbrella over him! 🤣

    What a shame and such bad luck when you think of the weather we have been enjoying recently
  25. sunnyday
    The 'spotty two' have been round for a garden visit (horrible to have to go back to that) granddaughter's spots no too bad, but poor grandson has a whole new lot, they are so 'angry' looking - goodness knows - following the chickenpox/not chicken pox she had it when she was tiny, but he hasn't had it 🤷‍♀️ Such a shame - they wanted to carry granddads presents - but were told (rightly so) "no, you can't touch anything that is for granddad". As I said before, at least they are not feeling unwell and the spots are not itchy - think this will be a forever mystery...
