Good Morning Early Birds

[emmie]

morning all, its another early start, i hope you are all well and in good spirits, the weekend is here again, the time just flies by doesn't it.....
i have no plans other than tomorrow, i am off to the local church where they are holding a lunch after the service, which i won't be attending, as a non believer it would be hypocritical to do so, so i will take my little contribution to the feast.

[emmie]

you are encouraged to bring something along - so it will likely be what i can find in the supermarket, quiche, scotch eggs or sausage rolls, which is what i brought along before. Its too cold now to sit outside as we did back in August. So will have our repast in an area of the church, there used to be a cafe at one time but that's closed now, which is a shame.

Keeping well Emmie?
Hope lunch tomorrow is enjoyable.
Another drizzly day down here, raining off and on, has been for a couple of days now.
Haven't had as much as forecasted but a nice change.

morning 1ozzy,

[emmie]

whilst we have been inundated with rain, gale force winds, not pleasant and cold too....

[emmie]

not too bad at the moment, though my legs, knees complain loudly, i hope its not too long before i can talk with someone at the hospital about it.

[1ozzy]

Fingers crossed that will happen.
I'm having problems with Medicare, our version of NHS.
Apparently I'm not the person they think I am.
Convincing them is becoming tiresome.
Should I give up?

Government departments, gotta love them;-/

[emmie]

you can't give up, why do they not think you are who you say?

[1ozzy]

I have no idea, all they tell me is the information I supply doesn't match the information they have but they can't tell me why.
Privacy laws, etc. etc. and the possibility I could be trying to steal personal information.
Grrrrr.
Let's change the subject before I have a total melt down.
So, will you be perusing the local shops finding a contribution to tomorrows lunch?
Maybe a cheese and fruit platter for pre-lunch nibbles?

[emmie]

i will go early this morning and see what's on offer, it has to be something i can carry easily, its why i thought of sausage rolls etc, and what the people will eat.

[emmie]

its kind of them to invite me, as a non Christian, the only one in the group that is.

[1ozzy]

It's good to be different;-)
And it's nice to be accepted

Good morning all.

[emmie]

i pop into the church from time to time, its handy as its opposite the local tavern.

morning Danny

[1ozzy]

Guess you spend more time in the tavern than the church Emmie:-)

Hi Danny, how many crosswords solved so far?

[emmie]

most likely 1ozzy, i am not a believer and don't attend the church except for the social events i have been invited to in the past.

[1ozzy]

I avoid a lot of church events.
Weddings, christenings, funerals and general services hold no interest to me.

[emmie]

the only wedding i have attended was my brothers way back when - the only funerals was Mr Em and My Mum, both were incredibly sad.

[emmie]

i have a phone call from a friend at 11.30am so must be home for that,
other than that and the bits of shopping have no plans..

[1ozzy]

Go with todays flow Emmie,
enjoy what ever happens.
Bye for now, kitchen duties are approaching.
Take care

[emmie]

enjoy your evening 1ozzy...
