Hi Catharina,

I see you have some of my posts to Bc !

How are you these days ? I've been on holiday, had my hair done and my tooth is still an ever lasting saga.

Lovely weather today

Love

Hiya Jen

How strange, all I hear to-day is news about teeth. (Helen had a wisdom tooth removed to-day)
I think there's nothing worse than toothache.

My husband once had raging toothache and after that he always wanted to be a dentist, thought how lovely it would be to remove that ache.
He didn't become one but went into the Motor Trade. He could only remember dreaming twice in his life and each time he dreamt he was a dentist.

Hope you feel well and relaxedafter your holiday, Jen.

Bloody cold this evening, have the central heating on.

My sitting room is covered in squares of carpet and the furniture with swatches of fabric, can't make up my mind what to choose.

Come and have a look, will you? What do you think? This one? Or that one?

Good, that's a big help.X

See you, Jen

Hi Catharina,

What's your colour scheme ? Helen has had a tough time with her teeth.
You will have to forgive me this evening as I am slightly the worse through drink.

I have had an upsetting evening, and have probably upset everyone. Oh well, c'est la vie.

Speak coherently soon,

Love and kisses

Jen

Hi Jen

Are you feeling better this evening?

Drink!!! We always think it will make us feel better and it does at first and then you wish you hadn't. Oh dear- life's roundabout.

My colour scheme. Completely different to what I have now. The sitting room isn't all that big so I am looking at ways to make it seem larger. The walls are going to stay white, I don't know but I think paintings etc look better on white and I have two paintings which my father did in there.
So, the carpet is going to be a rich, creamy white and the furniture a deep terracotta. The curtains will be the same material but the same colour as the carpet and then a lot of cushions of that same colour and fabric as the curtains.
It may sound a bit boring but the colours are very rich. Come and have a look!

What colours do you prefer? At the moment it is very light turquoise and pink but I want a complete change.

Hope you feel more cheerful to-day.

Lots of love and kisses

Catharina,

I am fine today ! Ah, the demon drink !

Your new colour scheme sounds absolutely fabulous ! Go for the white and terracotta. Oh, I do envy you having a complete change.

I have peaches and cream theme downstairs. Lovely and relaxing I think, but murder for showing up cat hairs and little hand prints !

Have a lovely week-end, doing anything nice ?

Love and kisses,

Jen

I'm just chilling out this week-end, glad to be at home and not having to go anywhere. Friend called in this morning for coffee, so that was nice. I should be gardening but it is so dull and miserable outside, I'm staying in and have the heating on.

What are you doing?

Lots of and

Catharina

Catharina,

Never in a 100 guesses would you know what I've been doing this afternoon.

Clue: Oscar Wilde.

Otherwise, I've been talking to Bc on the net. Out with the kids, and then Guy.

Lots of secret

J

PS I am thinking of never writing to anybody here any more...I'm such a stupid person

Oh, come on, darling Jen....

Don't leave me in suspense.

I'm very ignorant, know nothing about Oscar Wilde..

Who is Guy?????

Doooooooooooooohhhhhhhh Hand me the bottle!

If YOU are stupid, what does that make me??

Don't tell me.

Daft but happy

Lots of love

Catharina

Well, he's not Mr Fawkes !!!

Have another guess sweetie

Jen

I give up!
