Good morning Gilly and Grandmoon----and the others.................Richo.

Morning Richo and Gilli

It has been raining steadily most of yesterday and last night and so far this morning, its great to see and it has been very dry here this years.  It means that I can sit and knit and not feel guilty about the leaves that need raking.

I have been helping a friend with some mending and she reminded me of this poem.

She danced acrossed the ballroom floor.

Her figure looked fantastic.

All of a sudden she race for the door.

You can't trust Coles elastic.

I'm a senior lurker here so I will quietly

 return this thread to page 1.

John.

Welcome to the thread John

 Thanks for the bump.

I think a lot of us seniors are hibernating for the winter.

Hi grandmoon,

I'm sitting (almost) on top of the wood heater in Ballarat.:-)

I post little (too irascible) but this is one thread whose

serenity I do respect.

  John.

Hi everyone.  Good to be back, missed the thread. Hi. John, welcome. Hope everyone is OK.

Hello all I hope you are all well and happy.

I know I am a slacko

I can't remember if I told you but my brother has come back home to live and I moved to a larger place.

So I have been a bit busy.

My brother is intellectually handicapped and 69 years old. We have the odd occassional 'moment' :_|X-(:^O

I will post Grahamisms from time to time so you can have a little giggle too

He is interested in model trains, hence the move to a larger space.

We who love him dearly refer to him sometimes as Graham Copperfield because for a man who can't run skip hop or jump he can disappear pretty fast if you blink whilst out shopping:^O

Part of Graham's condition is that he talks incessantly. Long drives with nowhere to run are an experience I can tell you. I had a 3 hr drive with him today, Thank goodness my "off" switch works ok.

He used to live at home with me, however when I became really ill he had to go into a hostel  He is a bit of a square peg and people find him difficult. Anyway I am well enough to look after him now,  He lost a few social skills whilst at the hostel so he is in training ]:)

My sweet lovely children tell people that I have a water spray bottle :^O

A couple of posters have met him and he remembers them and asks about them sometimes

Well that's it from me

Oh no it isn't

Channy's little man has osteo genesis imperfecta. I think I did mention that, Anyway he is walking, nay running. His bones are okish, he has a connective (ligaments etc) problem and blue schlera, which of course is one of the early signs of the condition. Unfortunately Channy and I were treated as idiots trying to find fault, rather than check him out early. He is a staunch little man so he will do fine.

I think that's it for now

Blessed are the cracked, for they are the ones who let in the light.
