Wednesday Have had some mail at long last trouble is not seeing anyone for a whole so can't get anything sent or anything bought Gillian not able to drive yet and her daughter was going to bring her today but is unable meanwhile any reliable caller will be asked to post my letters as I always keep stamps I sent Paula a thank you card it has been returned Why she cannot accept a card when she sends me a card and present I just cannot understand her mentality lately seems she maybe has mental problem I still do not know what she did with matt's ashes and a note from Angela asking was ignored  I think this is weirdactivity just because I speak to the rest of my children. Where is the love the present and card made out beats me. Not much news just a boring week can't get my camera to down load photos expect I have to add something must remember to ask Angela when I next call her. so only old pictures capable of being shown. so heres pot luck

, I never learn so picture which I didn't know what I would get is of the swallow Falls in Wales somewhere, think it was near that place with a funny name Bettwyss-co-ed from memory of 1973 so a short poem as well

The Bluebell Wood

 Bluebells so many I picked as a child

Hundreds of them growing in the  field.

I really loved their colour so blue,

Will always remember them growing so wild.

Now I know that it was wrong to take this host.

But nobody informed me not to do so.

So many jam jars were placed round my house

I hope now they will never, be lost, like a ghost.

The end.

Apparently when Blue bells are picked it takes years for them to regenerate so many of the fields of bluebells have been lost forever.Have any English people seen any recently cheers for now Love marj 

Saturday , Had phone call from Gillian at 9.00am this morning not a good time for me i am half dopey about then Byu as she is in hospital and had been awakened at 6.00am she was wide awake a small op went well and all being well she will be home tomorrow Mothers Day over here I have had some lovely cards and much to my surprise a card and present from Paula you could have knocked me down with a feather. It is a very sweet message to my ears as I still couldn't seem to contact her I phoned one of her daughters and asked them to pass on a thank you message and to say how pleased I was to hear from her. I have opened all my cards but left Gillians present to have one to open tomorrow Thanks for the rose Michel we were both being mushy.I feel. I know I didn't write a lot yesterday but had a lot of searching to do It annoys me when i send in a story asked for by Kent BBC anf then have no idea where to find it after I received an e.mail saying they were printing it maybe I was too impatient but they have war stories going back some time so a bit difficult for daft me to figure out so I have sent another e,mail saying where can I find it I am always pleased to talk about my W.A.A.F DAYS  but not if i can't find them One I wrote ages ago was put in an archive somewhere to be opened on a certain date but I won't be around then. There has been a lot on T.V. lately about people saying they knew who they were in the past this imterestd mme but not sure if ai can beleive it although souls entering a new born is more feasable than thinking old bones and those cremated could come back what say you, expect you all have some isea not necessarily religious for as you know I am not particularly religious and thinkwe must have something to make us human although the stories lately seem to show thata lot of people just do not act humanely I suppse all this drug taking is responsible for this. I am glad to have  had my youth when I did as it reallywas a lovely time and people did seem more Humane.

Days of Xmas Past

I often wander back in mind

To days of yore ,when all was fine.

Such fun we had, no television,

Each person making fun of a kind.

Dad would recite his favourite rhyme,

Uncle would sing his usual song

Bill his banjo would strum all tunes.

Dorrie, on the piano, played all the time.

I wanted everything off the tree,

Was told not to be greedy, wait and see.

I always wanted the waxen Angel.

Ten days later I would get this with glee .

Sadly, after hard handling, and oft,

The wings would go, and then the limbs,

Gradually all would disappear,

wax did melt, leaving a lump then soft.

Still it was great fun, at Christmas,

We ate a lot, I  stayed up late.

Allowed to join in all the games and fun,

how I wish I was still that young lass.

The End

See what I mean folks, such happy days but some may not remember these as i do. Love to all Marj

Friday Have been on doing a few things not much news so will just put something on Thanks for replies on last post.Couldn't get a thing so shant bother now have been talking to people. So I am Off.Bye Marj

Wednesday Doctor just been Yes I do tell him what pills and potions I need ,aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahe said blood pressurw and heart was O.K. I asked him what he referred me for trouble is he said all about other doctor and the one he referred me to, they don't like taking over other peoples patients so that may account for the delay I may be known as a hot potato as I never mind saying what is on my mind bet i have to wait for June end to see the specialist  darn doctor can never get things right, normally he would say nothing. Oh) well I guess it doesn't matter think knee is too far gone anyway for injection to help and as regards bowels I an unusual they dob;t like dealing with prooblems thwy haven't uncountered before and I don't think anyone has been allowed to carry on like me for so long before.Doctors today do not want challenges I thnk that street was in South Africa as it was near another Durban one.although now I come to think of it there were Xmas decorations on way back. lets try something else as I don't do anything interestin as my Doc comes in at 8,00am I am awake and alive much earlier,

 Life’s Band of Music

Remember the bluebells and fields of green,

Where once we wandered young andkeen.

Now in age our steps do falter

Stumbling together as if in a halter.

Presuming there was a reason we met,

Loved, had fun, pain, happiness, also to beget.

Still while it lasted , Life was grand.

Remembering the good times,

Like the music of a band.

The End

Wondered what this was this is Matt's last firm before we made our last trip to England  These were his office crowd, he is in the middle in a white shirt hlding a glass of something it was celebrating somwthing I wonder what.

 Tuesday It has gone very dark today was my shopping day order, they always get one thing wrong .I just can''t understand it ,still I am lucky I can order, although I know of nothing new appearing in the shops. I seldom eat all I order ,it is queueing up in my fridge and cupboard ,seems I eat all day  but can't eat too much at once no news yet if new appointment for specialist ,maybe he is not back from his holiday yet,. Angela phoned today and said Dairy Farmers are watering all their milk down, I didn't see this bit of news .I have just ordered 5 litres ,I do hope it is not watered down ,she also said they were substituting something in its place, wionder if it is true and what is being put in, seems they muck about with food all the time . lately.. I don't get many e.mails lately at least no junk ones.. Doctor comes in at 8.00am tomorrow morning,I hope I will be awake, I seem to be sleeping later I do wish he wouild come in at a reasonable hour, I am dopey at that time but he calls in on his way to his surgery. I have made a list of medicines I need , and must get injection I have to keep them in Fridge so must remember to get one out early morning as soon as I stagger out of bed. I realize I have to reorder them as well will add them to my list as soon as I get off here .I get 3 at a time but only have them once monthly .B12 for pernicious aenemia, bet that is mis,spelled .I think an old photo today I have loads of poems I expect some I have never put on. I haven't heard yet whether they like my sequel to "A place to Remember" if they don't want it ,,I will put it on here. wonder why my script has altered,something I have pressed no doubt I feel a real bunny on a computer  Have pressed a photo can't see what it is yet   

How uninteresting this is .a street in another country and I don't know where I took these slides so long ago, and had them put on a disc but forgot to name them, some I can remember ,so have a pick, you might be right.

DOGS

Small and cuddly, often with fleas,

soon eradicated, then they please.

Large and fearful, such a good guard,

Shedding shaggy fur, so much shard.

Still people love their funny mutts,

as often they show such brave guts.

Bringing into many a life much joy,

It’s better than kids, with a new toy.

THE END

Bye for now Thanks for replies, good to hear from old friends. Love Marjorie, Winifred, Joan . phoo what monikers.
