hmm, I will dance until everyone goes home - and then if we have a house-ful I will happily fall asleep on a cushion - although with everyone in the room with me!! That way I can still hear them in my sleep!!

i have a friend like that she suddenly drops off - head on table non compis and then suddenly 15 mins later she is up sparkling away chatting and singing - if i doze off thats it

No, normally when I go I've gone - I just like to give the impression I make a re-appearance!!! LOL I did once fall asleep with my chin resting on my hand at the dinner table - everyone just seemed to get further and further away!!

LJ

i am not so elegant when i doze off - mouth open - drooling etc not edifying at all
you dont go home via the a34 and m40 do you ? parently it was horrendous tonight ! the kids have gone to lincolnshire and i guess they were stuck in it

no i go along the old oxford road, and it was stop, start all the way home - didn't get in until nearly 7 - that will be why then!!

Oxfordshire - great open spaces!! LOL

My husband has been chatting to someone in Bucks, who told him that there had been an ice storm, and large pieces of ice fell. I asked if he had been drinking because the temperature has been so high? Have you heard of this strangeness?

too many folk going off to their second homes for the weekend !
if i could afford a second home it would be in france or ibiza not here

Funnily enough when I was driving home last night I drove through this storm where the "rain" looked like massive bits of hail as they splatted on the windscreen - but I thought I was just going mad!! LOL

Ljx

yeah there was cookie - from my exalted position i can tell you that we were mad manic with people calling in - i think they thought we could stop it

Hey - not mad then!! That's something I guess!!!

LJx

yes mad ! but not mistaken lol
cookie i bet you wish it had happened there ?
anyone heard from eety lately ?

You mean you couldn't just pop outside put your hands in the air and yell STOP and it all stopped.

Hubs friend said that one or two cars were injured but thankfully no people. He reckons there were hail stones as big as cricket balls.

its the one minute they think we have the power to move the universe and the next they dont like it cos we do lol

I believe you can move the universe LBP!!

Ljx

Oh I do think your policemen are just wonderful (said in American twangy accent)

I just cannot understand how me getting old means that Police Officers have to look so young and short, over here even the officers seem to be getting shorter.

The young thing is prob an age thing cookie - but I think they did reduce the average height reqs didn't they LBP - a few years back?

Ljx

well i can move MY universe lol
policemen are getting younger and shorter here as well cookie it must be genetic lol
do you have violent storms over there ?

yeah they did and the age thing as well you can join up i think til you are 48 which is good ( well it is if you want to )

So if you join up at 48 - when do you retire - is it a certain amount of time you have to serve?

It has rained for most of the day today, and there is a lot of thunder about. It is very muggy and of course the dampness means more mozzies although while it is raining we have some peace from them.

Yesterday, we went to the beach and it rained.It was really odd feeling to be in the sea which was warm and the rain was cool. One of the things I will miss when we come back will be the warm sea.
