      Aloha everyone,

      We had a good day yesterday but not quite as planned. One of our group woke up with a stinking cold and didn't feel like walking. So she stayed back at the ranch and sat in the sun in the garden and did some painting - she's an artist. So I took the rest of us on a shorter walk that didn't end up at the pub for lunch. Instead, on the way back, we popped into the supermaket and picked up some rolls and ingedients to make a picnic lunch for all of us to have in the garden.

      In the afternoon I took all of us on a tour of the area and visits to beauty spots and I ended up doing my 'knight in shining armour' impression. Around 6 p.m. we ended up at a slate mine at the top of a mountain pass and I overheard (big ears flapping) three American ladies talking about what they were going to do.

      Apparently they had asked at the mine shop for them to call a taxi for them but were told that taxis wouldn't come up there - and the last bus had gone. That meant them walking all the way down the very steep road to the valley and then through the valley to their hotel. That would be a difficult five mile walk (they'd been walking all day) but I overheard them say they should dig their headlamps out of their rucksacks (at least they were well prepared). So I told my passengers to have a look round the area and take photos and I would take the ladies back down the mountain and then come back for them. They were three very grateful senior citizens!

      We met up with our friends that evening and had a very good Indian and Mrs Shiney continued teaching one of the English waiters how to speak Bengali (long story).

      Today I've planned some easy walking and we're off to the theatre again tonight.

      My foot is still playing up but it'd not too bad and I'm able to use the 'Bouncability', with care.

      Have a great day and enjoy the lovely weather.

      Aloha!

        Morning all

        That is a spectacular moon pic, Woo. I saw it too this morning as was awake at silly o'clock again.

        Adendoll, that sounds like the perfect evening

        Hope you managed to chill AB. Bet your daughters loved messing about in the kitchen with their Dad though, makes it worth feeling cream crackered at the end of the day. Fingers crossed you get some garden time today.

        Am I the only woman on GC whose other half can't cook? I keep reading about all the scrummy meals all the men on here are preparing while my husband can just about take something out of the freezer and put it in the oven. Luckily he has many other redeeming features, like putting up with me :heehee:

        How's Daisy today, Loli? Hope your cold has cleared up and you're enjoying your week off.

        What a lovely thing to do Shiney, how lucky they were you were there. Pleased you're having such a good break and hope your foot doesn't cause you too many problems.

        Hope you're keeping well, Moyra.

        Good thoughts to everyone. Have a great day.

          Good Morning everyone,

          WOO, a beautiful moon, I did get to see it last night it was shining so brightly.

          Shiney, you are a real gentleman, how on earth long did it take you to walk both ways to get back to your company? Not good for the old foot. It sounds as though you are enjoying yourselves anyway.

          Eve, Steve rarely cooks for me but he did treat me to a Chinese meal last night!

          Zigs, glad Willow will be back for the pumpkin picking.

          Loli, hope Daisy is on the mend and you are beginning to throw off that cold mine has left me with sinus problems but I keep taking the antihistamine.

          Well guess I better get Amber out for her walk, think I shall need a jacket this morning as it feels quite chilly out there even though it is bright enough. Have a good day all.
          God bless. :wub2:

                Good morning everyone,

                Woo...AMAZING picture:love30: wasn't the moon fantastic last night,I noticed before I went to bed and even got up twice in the night even though I didn't 'need' to just to look at it:wub2:...

                Shiney....That is you to a 't':dbgrtmb: those ladies must have been so relieved when our Shiney knight turned up:dbgrtmb:...

                Eve...No you're not the only one...my other half can't even make a slice of toast without making a hash of it:doh::biggrin:

                Moyra...Have you tried 'Sinutab' I once had awful sinus problems and it did the trick for me:dbgrtmb:

                I'm still trying my best to keep Daisy going but I even with my best efforts I don't think it's helping this time:sad: she's still bright eyed and waddling after me so I'll give her another day or two to see how she goes:chicken:

                I had a lovely afternoon yesterday ,met up for lunch with some of my family and friends I'd not seen in a while (Ladies only:ccheers::whistle:) so just a tad delicate this morning:biggrin:...it was especially lovely to see my Great Aunt 98 years young:love30: what a lady:wub2:...

                Another busy day a head:rolleyespink: with an extra bonus of this fabulous sunshine:dancy:

                Take it easy everyone and take care:SUNsmile:

                          Got cold in the night, had to get up and find an extra duvet, right mess in here now :doh:

                          Sun's coming out now, looks like a nice day :)

                          Have a good day everyone, and always check your kettle for Woodlice before putting it on, not nice finding them at the bottom of your tea cup :sad:
