Hello and welcome again to Sunday morning If we were having coffee! This week and all through November we will as always be joining forces with Paul and his gang but for me it will also part of Nano Poblano ! This will not effect any of you no one will need any special injections or travel sickness pills , Trust me I am not a doctor. Also on the “do not worry” front the strange looking guy in the Black Cowl has finally left . Yesterday morning he picked up his Scythe and walked. No thank you or by your leave … not a word! I have just managed to clean up the carpet, but it maybe still a little wet.
So come on in,I must apologize for being so late! We have the coffee and the cakes ready and set out and the fire is lit! The sofas and armchairs have their cushions all plumped up! So go on spoil yourselves we have stocked up on hot chocolate now and brought in some good books for you to read too and as a special winter treat we have some liqueurs ! I can hear Paul has all his guests, who also have moved in here now, so lets mingle and see, what have you been up to this week?
If we were having coffee : I would ask you what have you been up to this week. Have you been well, have you done anything out of the ordinary? Now before we go any further is there a particular drink you would like, lets have some cake too. The magic about things here is that all food is calorie free, all drinks too no matter how much cream or sugar you may fancy . No matter the size of cake you might wish to eat or what ever liquor you might decided to lace your coffee, tea or chocolate with it will never affect your health or your waistline! This is a healthy zone.
I mean just look at this one and this is just one of many!
If we were having coffee : I tell you how I have been beavering away at Nano Poblano. I have joined Mark Bialczak’s Team Pepper, check Marks blog out here. I have found this quite challenging but very rewarding and I have met lots of lovely new bloggers which is reward enough. So a big hand for Mark and Team Pepper!
If we were having coffee : I would say I have not been on top of my game this week I had to have a small op which was not a very nice way to spend an afternoon. Luckily I did not have any anaesthetic and so I was able to go home afterwards … no so lucky in that it was not a little harrowing but happily soon over. I shall know the results soon but hopefully all is well and that will be that. I was in an NHS hospital and it was a very different experience to the hospital that Hubby had to visit last week. I have to say though what my visit lacked in surroundings, comfy chairs , free tea and coffee was made up the pleasant and caring staff. There are pros and cons to both. Hubby could not park as the car park was full and unlike the Private hospital where the parking was free it was very expensive. Luckily Hubby knows the area well so he cruised around until he found an offsite parking space after dropping me off.
If we were having coffee : I would say that this week has the build up to Remembrance Sunday and there have been people selling poppies to raise funds for the Royal British Legion. The Royal British Legion help soldiers injured in service and families of those have died in wars to cope emotionally and in anyway way they may need help, ie, giving them monetary help and any support they might need. If the soldiers come home maimed or have lost a limb they help the to adapt or find new homes among other things.They work very hard as there is never enough government money around and they will often go cap in hand to Charities.
Tomorrow is the Remembrance Day Parade at the Cenotaph in London to find out more read here . My hubby goes up to London every Remembrance Sunday to help marshal the older and disabled service men and women. It is a very long day for some of the older people and they do need some shepherding! It is also a long day for Hubby! Hello it is now 6.30am Sunday morning and still I have not got this coffee morning sorted, my apologies! The hubby has been gone an hour and I have my fingers crossed the weather will stay fine and all will be well and safe.
If we were having Coffee : I’d say Paul is that piece of cake big enough I am certainly going to have some! Would anyone else like some there is plenty here for all. I am going to get a coffee would anyone else like one?? I am trying to think if I have any amusing stories to tell you this week but I have not really it just seems to have been a hum drum week with some heavy personal things going on… No I think I need to explain that if I can. We, mainly the husband, have been helping some disabled acquaintances who have had some bad luck of late and we have found that some of the channels to use to get them this financial help are very hard to navigate. Plus we have been busy we our own lives.
If we were having Coffee : I would tell you that I am very jealous of the hubby because on Thursday he was over a the Newbie’s house doing a job for the little family that required an empty house. I was unable to go as I was feeling not so good from the little op the day before and while he was there the Newbie and his Mum dropped in. ( our son was way abroad on business, home now, and Newbie and Mum were staying with the other grandparents) . So hubby got to see Newbie!! He did bring me home some photos. So that at least was a consolation! It is amazing he seems to grow every time we see him, I get so exited even over a photo!
If we were having Coffee : I would say I make no apologies for the two Remembrance videos. I will say I am including soldiers from ALL Nation’s FROM PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE when I say THANK YOU.
If we were having Coffee : After one minutes silence, we really must never forget, and we should be grateful for what member’s of our different country’s military services have done for us. Let’s pray that one day not too far away we can celebrate the day all wars stopped and we have Peace.
IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: I would ask you if you would like another cuppa, or another cake . ! If we were having Coffee Original idea from http://parttimemonster.wordpress.com/
