    In the summer of 75 which was ever so very hot I took baby D to the pub by the river to get cool breezes and rock him to sleep (I was way too broke to even order a coke). The pub was next to Teddington Studios. A charming older man started to chat to me and I realised it was the gorgeous David Niven. I had always loved his films. He asked me about myself and about Duncan and we had a fine old chat, he bought me a glass of wine and when baby finally dropped off he gave me £10 to buy something for the baby. That was a lot of money back then. I tried to refuse and he said "I have had a lovely chat with someone who does not want anything from me other than my company and I have thoroughly enjoyed myself". He was so nice.

            Great news Oma!

            I can't stand "Siralan" or is it "Lordsugar" now?
            Zizi well wow fancy meeting and being chatted up by David Niven, you could have done a Catherine Zeta and bagged yourself a sugar daddy...

                  Misty here, although I hope the sun is on its way! I have to take mum for a routine blood test this morning, reflexology this afternoon, then friends coming round for a takeaway and games evening. Fun, but it does necessitate some of that housework stuff with 5 guests coming round!

                      Lovely morning hear Brian been out with his camera since 8 am first time in 3 years so he must be feeling better, I have blitzed the house got bedding in washer washed all the floors cleaned everything standing still and now I'm having a break before doing the ironing , it's odd but I can get all sorts done when I'm home alone . Got Josh at tea time and no doubt the dog
                      Im not fat just 6ft too small

                        Lovely here too but my washing machine doesn't want to work. I hope it isn't anything serious because I don't want to spend a lot of money on it if we are having a new kitchen in the new year. I wanted to get the last bits out of the way while the weather is still good.

                        Oma that is a good sign that Brian is off out with his camera, good for him to get some fresh air as well.

                          When I have the house to myself I can get loads of jobs done.

                              Lovely warm Autumn day here, only just come in from sunroom. I have had a very busy day, decorator in bathroom and kitchen, SR full of bits and bobs so couldn't do any jobs myself. Went to JL to find a new shade for the bathroom and then posted parcels, finished up shopping in Waitrose. I was so tired I had to sit down before I fell down. Now looking forward to a G&T, sun nearly over the yardarm. Very pleased with the decs. he will be finished tomorrow, only needs a couple of hours, then at least I will not have to get up at the crack of dawn. I definitely fulfilled my membership to the sluts club, when the bathroom cabinet was taken off the wall the dust was at least an inch thick, well I cant reach the top and I must not climb up in case I fall.

                                Plant no matter how often you clean the tops of bathroom cabinets they get really dusty within a day , you have a excuse no climbing thats dangerous better a bit dust than a broken bone
