I was upbraided by my collegue, for being late, who felt I should have left without Lunch ------- I think I was unusually mild, in NOT explaining that missing a meal for a Type 1 Diabetic on Insulin (Now 55 years) may result in even greater "Entertainment" but I did slip in a slightly acid remark that, if they couldn't serve Lunch on time, it MUST have been "Better in my time "
I was surprised that we won the Debate with a large majority --- which goes to show thar CH has not lost it's sense of humour !
Lovely to meet and greet Barnes Mum, Mrs C,(I DID buy my frogs) Lonely Mom (At a distance) and I thought I spoke to Kerren, who was not going to be there --- If it was NOT you, I apologise !
Ha Ha!! my younger sister's there too, so I seriously hope not! Actually I'm a little jealous... my mother & sister have gone to see my favourite band without me!
Show of Hands at Rochester Castle - should be a great show (assuming the weather's ok). Just a bit too far for me to travel.

The weather is good in the S of England Maria.. so they should be having a good time. Hope so, anyway.
Weather is so blooming good that I have had to go outside with the hosepipe, this evening...... aarrggh.
wish it was tipping it down here! It's been very close today, and oppressive, but it's still dry......and therefore I did feel that I needed to water the garden this evening. I'd be glad for some rain to burst the pressure bubble...
to cheer you all up it was hailing here today (May Day - big holiday) and snow is predicted for Tuesday.... the day I was planning to go to the open air pool for the first time this year (therefore my fault).

I look forward (DV) to the next year's event !
I look forward to your report on the debate for the OB magazine. (See PM)
On my rare visit to the forum these days, I was saddened to here that some of us are unwell, but so heartened by the courage inherent in Old Blues. OB Day was indeed wonderful, but would have been all the better if those wonderful ladies fighting the b*****s could have joined with us. Next year, I am sure you will both be there.
I loved being there and travelling up from the westcountry with some wonderful people - the fact that none of us had met before really did not seem to matter. Thanks for your company.
I'll be there again as and when I can walk more easily, albeit maybe for only a few yards.....I'm just not yet ready to appear in public in an electric buggy or on a wheeled walking frame.....
But my problems are as nothing compared to Maggie and Anne and their b*gg*rs. I, too, truly hope that they are both doing well.
