Round Table Revisited

[just_me_karen]

And so Lord of the String said unto the peoples, "Go forth anew. Seek a land you can call your own."

The people saw it was good.

So, on the last day the people said their solemn goodbyes and began the long journey to the promised new land.

And so began the new land and its people were joyous!

Welcome, to the Return of the Round Table known as...

"Round Table Revisited" (RTR)

Thanks Laney. I locked the house up tight as a drum on Monday nght but that damned Birthday fairy stil managed to sneak in and plant another year on me!

Your old Irish saying reminds me of another one I rther like : "hoist with one's own petard."  

And then of course there's the WWll cautionary advice "Loose lips sink ships."

Spot on (on both counts) TGSE 

So much for retirement - have agreed to help with some administrative stuff for a local organisation.

Heading off to a meeting to see exactly what this entails and how frequently.

Have a good day Friends

Hi Laney, I hope you are well nice to see you out and about and I

do love those interesting saying's.

Mr F and I are going to a little village reunion tomorrow in their local hall.

I spent from 5 yrs to 12 yrs there whilst Mum and Dad had the local

Post Office - some wonderful childhood memories - mischief included-

and I think that was where my mother learnt to perm hair - yes mine 

OMG I looked like a little redheaded gollywog - the horror 

We my 4 brothers and I learnt to swim in the local swimming hole - fun times.

We also learnt to ride poddy calves down the main street 

Have a lovely week-end Laney I hope your weather is nice we are having another

cold snap with some welcome rain.

Geez,you're a gluton for punishment, Laney.

I hope you had a great reunion yesterday Freddie.

I can well imagine the hi-jinks you got up to - growing up in a small country town certainly had it's advantages.

It was a different time then too - that old saying that it takes a village to raise a child certainly had currency here then!

TGSE I figure that I use it or lose it - the tasks are not complex - more organisational -  but really need doing so I am pleased to be able to help given I can choose my own hours.  I can do that whilst my boy is busy with other volunteer work.

Did you get the amazing light and sound show last night?  Lots of rain, lots of lightning and cracking thunder.  Just love those storms when one can be safe under cover at least.

Oooh I love those thunderstorms when I'm home Laney..  I often go and sit on the veranda to watch the show.. we haven't had a goid thunderstorm here in ages..I can't even remember when tbe last one was.

hope you had a good day at the reunion Freddie... i remember a photo you showed us of the lovely old PO building

[freddie*rooster]

Hi Laney, Deb, she ele, 

Deb the reunion was at the little village we lived in prior to the PO/home  picture.

My Dad was the PM there as well. We had the best time - Mr F had a siatic pain so

we intended to stay for about an hr then come home - he had some ibuprofen caps 

so was OK and we ended up staying until about 3 oclock. We had the best time, 

typical country town hospitality where the women get in and work together with the

cooking and organising - Not many recognised me  even with the hints of

I had red hair, I had 4 brothers,  it wasn't until I mentioned the PO that the

penny dropped and then I was asked what happened to my red hair - LOL at them

expecting my hair to still be as red as it was back when I was a little girl. The oldest

Lady there was 91yrs and she took one look at me and knew who I was - the cooking

they done was amazing food galore - some lovely old photos and they announced they were

doing a buy a paver to put into the walkway path at the school - so I bought a paver and

asked for my parents name to be put on it - I'm also organising to have a engraved plaque 

put on the wall of the hall in memory of Mum & Dad. Dad did a lot of work on the old original

hall that was burnt down  he also organised quizz nights and concerts back when

we lived there - I was pleased we went. 

[ooak3]

that's lovely Freddie, the paver and plaque for your parents 

you had a very nice day , bet your very glad you went 

it was lucky Mr F's siatic pain eased 

[freddie*rooster]

It was ooaks he's all good today must have

just been a pinched nerve or something.

You feeling a bit better?

[ooak3]

yeah i sopose i am a tad better , but it seems a slow process

just thought though its only day 2 of the AB's im being impatient 

just seems longer when your not the best lol

it's great Mr F's back is ok now a big relief when things get better
