We're slowly getting there thanks, it's a long slog though. I don't know what the flippin' eck it was, but it's taking weeks to get our energy back. We recovered quicker after 'you know what'. We've been doing some gardening these last couple of days so things are on the up. Might wait a bit longer before joining the gymnastics club though🤸‍♀️😁 Avril

Good morning and a very Happy Easter to one and all 🐣🌷🐰 The weather's not too good here at the moment, overcast and misty, but nothing planned so nothing spoilt. I hope the sun is shining where you are and your Easter Sunday is peaceful. Unless you're celebrating in parts of Greece of course🧨😁 Avril

......... hooked and nearly cooked. Avril

Everyone is so loud now. No-one talks anymore, they shout at each other. We will soon have a society full of deaf people with extra large texting thumbs. Avril

I have to agree John. We watch very little TV now for that reason, well that and the fact that most of it is rubbish now anyway. The thing I find most infuriating is having to turn the sound up to hear what they're saying, and down again when the 'music' starts. I was sat constantly with the remote in my hand, adjusting the sound. We watch Amazon Prime and I watch the news on my laptop. Avril

Have you been holding out on us lincslady? Is there something you'd like to confess? 😎😁 Avril

My lips are sealed bro.🤐 Hope the foot is still healing well. Sis

Until now !! 😄 Sis

Absolutely stunning even on a dull day. Avril

These injections, cortisone I think, are marvellous things. Is your Sarah alright now? Avril

How was your hospital visit kalos. All ok I trust? Avril

I find it quite strange how I can recall trivia from over 60 years ago, and yet today, I can't remember why I walked into the kitchen😄 Avril

I haven't watched Coronation St for many years now, not since it changed from a funny light-hearted northern soap opera into a doom and gloom miserable saga. I watched from the very first black and white episode, when Ken Barlow first walked the cobbles coming home from college, Jack and Annie Walker ran The Rovers Return and Florrie Lindley had the corner shop. I also remember Alan Rothwell, who played Ken's brother, David and old Albert Tatlock (Uncle Albert) Avril

The course of true love never runs smoothly, so the saying goes. You know Harry, you have me thinking about age, and I was half David's age when I got married. I was 3 months shy of my 18th birthday and Frank was 19. It's strange now that I think about it and the advice I gave to David. Which means even though the right one is out there, some are lucky and find the right one sooner. Avril

Morning all. Well our grandson's wedding went beautifully yesterday, despite the dreary damp weather. The usual hiccups occured, David forgetting his name and the ring not going on easily, but it was all to be expected. We didn't go to the reception afterwards as Frank was struggling with his back and hips, but he was determined to go to the wedding regardless. They've sent us plenty of photos and videos, so we didn't miss out. They fly to Cyprus tomorrow for their honeymoon. I can't help but recall a long conversation I had with him some 15 years ago when all his friends were getting married and he thought he would never find anyone. I told him then that he would have to patient, that the right one is out there. Now some of his friends are into their second marriages and he, at 38 has married for the first time, and I have never seen him happier. He took me to one side and said 'I'm glad I listened to you Gran, and waited until I was certain'. Avril

Only if your name's Oliver and you ask nicely. Sis

@purplesea I'm sorry your consultaion didn't have the outcome we were all hoping for. I hope your oncologist contacts you quickly so your treatment can begin soon. 🤗🤗xx Avril

Such a beautiful photo Andrew. The love you had for each other shines through. Avril

I do understand your point of view, even if you think an old bird like me can't, but can I put my spin on some of the wording of some posts. Homosexuality is not new, and even us oldies that you think don't understand have had friends and/or relatives that were gay. The difference being that until 1967 it was a criminal offence, punishable by imprisonment, and was something that couldn't be spoken of openly. I know I can't expect you to really understand as you were born into a different society, but please don't equate some posts as homophobic. In this 'cancel culture' it can be very difficult to find the right words that won't offend someone no matter how hard you try. I know you think I'm jumping in too, as you hinted earlier, but don't assume that because of my age I have not lived and don't understand, because believe me I have, and I do. I shall now leave this thread as I obviously don't 'fit' into your box. Avril

I think you misunderstood me, I was referring to your post😉 Avril

This thread, started with a genuine question, has now been reduced to denigrating certain posts and/or posters. All posts should be respected. I am surprised this thead is still up. Others have been removed for far less. Avril

I have one long dress that I love, so take that and then evening trousers with dressy/sparkly tops. My husband takes his dinner suit, dress shirts and a couple of bow ties. You don't have to be uncomfortable to be dressy. Avril

and then looks up the appropriate medication in a book😒 Avril

I don't think so wowzz. It must have been delayed shock from washing up.😁 Avril

Anything would be nicer than MPW's Beef Wellington😖 Avril
