Ozzie - I think it's fabulous that you and your ex, Rex, both have such a great relationship with Rachel and each other :)^

I hope I can get some bargains at the nursery when I go shopping, you always seem to do well. :><:

Kris - Not another move :8O: Hope you find something quickly or just hop on a plane and come home. :X:

Carol - So happy to hear that your MCR eagles are back, enjoy visiting with them.

Hello, peeps. We are about to lose our internet so I'm just saying a quick hello. We already lost it a couple of times this morning. There is something wrong with the TV line so a technician is on the way. Our street is being torn up and repaved so that might have something to do with the problem.

Carole, the eaglet photos are making my eyes pop wide this morning. They have all grown so much! :o <3

Will try to get back later to make comments. Have a good day, everyone.

Carole. wonderful Eagleland pics today! :)^

And, yes, ANOTHER move! :'( :hair: I'm about at the end of my rope and haven't felt a sense of "Home" since we came here. :hair: If only we could just get on a plane we would but Ed has to have a special Returning Resident visa to do that. He's almost ready to send the application in (it's taken him so long due to his health and the several moves we've had to go through, all of which the application requires detailed documentation of), but now we won't have a return address for the "special tracked and signed for delivery" of his documents until we have a new address. It's not an option to start the process while in the midst of changing addresses. :( We did have the option of a year lease when moving in here but thought he'd have gotten his visa long before a year lease would have been up in November so didn't want to be tied to that long a contract. We negotiated with the agent for a "six month break clause" with rolling month to month rental after that. Now that decision is really biting us back with the landlords choosing to have us move out with two months notice so "family members" can move in. We now will also have to commit to a minimum of six month lease wherever we find to move, delaying our plans all the longer. :'( We've viewed a possible property yesterday but the landlord wants a year lease, unless we can convince him to start with six months instead. The only positive in the whole mess is that we won't have a notorious "disgraced banking official" for a landlord anymore. :8O: Just weeks after moving in here we learned that he had nearly brought down the Royal Bank of Scotland with his shady dealings about ten years ago, as one of their high ranking officials. I found all the details online after our gardener from our previous place went to work for our new landlords, who live in the huge manor house adjacent to the guest house we've been renting. They mentioned to us they had just lost their gardener so we put them in touch with our guy, not yet knowing just who our landlords were. They hired him and soon he was able to fill us in on the scandal as he heard it from neighbors he also works for. I searched out the rest online. This landlord must have had a lot of off shore holdings and been given a big payout from RBS to live as they do now, with not only a huge mansion here but a house in Greece as well. Online articles I found say he cost the British public 45 Billion pounds (!) in the banking fiasco he caused! He's apparently now not allowed to work in any banking or financial context or even go to London more than once a week. True story. :ok: He and she are miserable people as we've discovered and our gardener is close to quitting due to the abusive treatment they subject him to. :angry: The next landlord is bound to be a more decent human being. :X:

The lovely Pheasant that lived on the grounds behind our house, coincidentally, disappeared the day we were given notice to move. He never strayed far so we can't help but think he met some kind of untimely end. :(

whew - I'm a couple weeks behind
Had a terrific vacation with DD - we headed to NC - spent the night at Biltmore House - did tours the next day - then on to Gatlinburg and then on to Pigeon Forge - had fun at Dixie Stampede Dinner - visited Riple Aquarium again - panned for gold/got none :( - played mini golf couple of times - visited Cades Cove and saw mom and 2 cub black bears in the tree right above the car as we passed under - saw another bear further on! - just did lots of stuff - then back to OH to visit DS and his family - kids took day off from school and we went to a museum! - I got to attend about 20 minutes of Jonah's DARE graduation then had to fly! Tiring but fun!

So of course getting caught up now that I'm home has been daunting to say the least lol!

Hope everyone is well - I'll endeavor to get informed of the activities here the last couple of weeks!

G'day Peeps, my sunny Friday.

Yes, I always look for the discounted plants. They are usually on their way to dying but only need a little TLC to revive. I have lost a few, but saved more. I always save a lot too, new, healthy plants are so expensive so I get a kick out of buying so cheap and reviving them.

Thanks for the BE updates Carole. So many of them! :)^

Hope your internet connection is fixed Cheryl. So frustrating! I couldnt work without mine, I'd be out of a job!

Kris, I am sending you Big MoJo to find another NICE place asap so you can get that paperwork in!

We have a v busy weekend ahead, if I dont pop in, I will catch up on you Sunday, my Monday.
