Cyber Family 200
Good morning everyone.
Morning hugs for all.
Ian dropped his camera yesterday and broke it so claimed on our insurance, paid £75 excess and has been sent a voucher to get a £300 camera at Argos.
Our friend Jerry is walking from Calshot to Beaulieu today so he has left his car with us and Ian took him to Calshot and will pick him up later before he heads to his B&B and the next leg of his walk tomorrow. I think he has done most of the coastal paths in the UK.
Have a good day everyone and take care.

Ian got his new camera today, he got a bargain as the insurance company sent him a voucher to buy a Sony £299.99 camera which had £50 off so he now has an Argos voucher to spend. We collected the camera then we went for a meal so its been a nice day.

Good morning everyone.
Thought i would pass on a little bit of true life amusement. This morning i was having a dream usual nonsense thing in the dream i was lying in the middle of a field sun bathing (something i no longer do sun bathing i mean) anyway all of a sudden something came down the field as it got near i threw myself to one side to avoid it next thing i woke up on the floor with a large sore bump on my forehead and a sore knee and have'nt stopped laughing since, my wife said did you hear a bang in the night when i explain we both sat laughing our heads off it would seem i literally threw myself out of bed straight into the bedroom wall. Feel at liberty to have a laugh.
Have a great day.

Mac - for goodness sake don't dream about sky diving. Have you tried a couple of aspirin?

Mac - I've been taken off them since they are considered not strong enough. I'm on rivaroxeaban which are real blood thinner and I have to carry a little booklet around for medics. If I get a scratch it can bleed for hours.
Good morning everyone. another lovely morning.
Morning hugs for all.
Yes Syd, Jerry is walking in our area this week, he has done most of the coastal paths around England. I do regonise Alum Bay, we have been to IOW many times and are probably going over in June for weeks holiday. When we were growing up we had Sunday school outings there travelling over on the old paddle steamer.
Ian is sailing this morning and I will be doing the ironing and making a coffee and walnut cake for when our son and DIL come to see us on Sunday.

Hi Vicky, thanks for my morning hug. You are making me feel a little home-sick talking about the IOW - strange that I do still miss it after all this time.
Syd, thanks for the lovely pic of Alum Bay.

To all our lovely Family and FR Members everywhere - A VERY HAPPY AND PEACEFUL EASTER.
Happy Easter to you and everyone Kim.
While we are having glorious weather here my eldest daughter is in Spain and having horrendous rain and floods.
I have been busy preparing for my son and DIL visit tomorrow. I am doing roast leg of lamb, followed by raspberry pavlova ( shop bought). I have made a coffee and walnut sponge and cheese scones. I shall not be worrying about my weight.
Enjoy the weekend and make the most of the glorious weather.

We've been summoned to a banquet with elder daughter & family tomorrow evening, so should already be dieting...fat chance! On Monday I hope to be walking on Exmoor again, this time we hope to be over Dunkery Beacon (the highest point) we were roughly in that area last Sunday, but with such heavy cloud all day, you might think that sunshine hadn't been invented! (See photo with Dunkery in distance.) Cheers, Syd.

Good morning everyone, a bit cooler and cloudier than yesterday.
morning hugs for all.
Syd we have been to Dunkery Beacon and enjoyed walking there.
We had a lovely day yesterday with Craig and Bev and the food went down well.
Ian is busy with his sail today as he had to repair it over the weekend so will be putting it back on the boat today.
Have a good day everyone and take care.

Good afternoon friends.
Another lovely day.
Another email scam doing the rounds.
Please be aware i have just received a scam email saying that my TV license needed renewing but something went wrong with the transaction and for me to update my payment details, these services will never email anyone for these details. These criminals try to deceive unwary people like the elderly so make sure your relatives and friends are fully aware.
Take care.

Hi Mac,
A very good afternoon to you and all the rest of our friends. We seem to have been pretty free from scam calls of late but no doubt they'll soon get round to us again. Luckily Patricia and I have both still got all our chairs at home to use a Lancashire expression so not much chance of us falling for the obvious ones.
Yesterday we were invited yet again to our daughter's where Ed, her husband, presided over a barbecue and we had a few more family members arrove which made it an even better day. Ed used to swear by charcoal barbies and seemed to delight in being wreathed in smoke and looked down his nose at our gas one. Ours is only a small one we saw one day when we went into Asda and there was a huge pile of them at £34 each. Couldn't resist it and it has been a little cracker - I've even roasted whole chickens in it.
I've mentioned that our elder granddaughter is pregnant and we had a pleasant surprise just before we all split up. She had turned up as did Gary - her Dad who had brought along a cot for her to take back home. It's not just any cot but one I made when her Mum was pregnant and has been in Gary's keeping ever since. So now she plans to use it for her baby when he arrives (yes - it's been confirmed - it's a boy.) I hadn't forgotten about the cot but it's hardly been at the top of my list but it is lovely to think that she will be using it for her baby as Gary and her mum did for her.
I made it with a base to stand it on so it can be used like that wherever they want to place it - by the bed I suppose. However the cot can be taken off and put close enough to keep an eye on at other times. It made me feel really good and a bit fuzzy-eyed to see it again. Everyone say 'Aw'.
Well for now that's all so take care everyone.
