Listen to loads of unplayed music, watch The Captive Heart on tv ?, go and give a Polish lady an English conversation lesson, watch an hour prog about Laurel and Hardy, and, tomorrow, meet some fellow gestalt therapists for a natter about 42, and more music and reading and resting from a load of training at work.

And entertain my friends here, and be entertained by you all. And on one or two other sites.

PS Might eat, too.

I was hoping to have a nice relaxing weekend with the beautiful PoD, but after getting home and feeling really wacked, it seems I probably have Chicken Pox(At almost 42 it could be fun!)

So when I finally stop coughing I'm going back to bed!

Wassail!! Chris.

Well, that's another half dozen cards made and drying out... which means I'm approaching 200 cards for sale for East London Chorus to sell at their next concert in 2 weeks time, to raise money for the choir and for Cancer Research.

Ho hum... got to make the Christmas pudding this weekend... ARGH!!!

The wife (Ferrara) & I do crafts, and the weekend after Thanksgiving is out biggest show of the year. We set up on Wed. and then have Friday, Saturday & Sunday to sit and collect the BUSHELS of money.....theoretically. One day done as I type, and not 'too' bad, though crowds are a bit light. (gas prices, mebbe)

   You'd never believe how tiring it is to sit or stand in one spot all day, trying to be cheerful and answer silly questions. "Do you make all those YOURSELF?" "Well, yes...if we didn't, they wouldn't allow us in here."

But it nice anyway, and some folks do, indeed, bring money.

I will be entertaining a deaf friend on Saturday, then in the evening we are both off to an award ceremony as we both achieved our level 3 in BSL, then I expect we will pop into the pub to further celebrate.

Unfortunately the most important person will not be there on this occasion, but will be the next time! Yes I am now planning to do my pre level 4 in the New Year ;-))

I'm with Alice, 'cept for the usual laundry and housework, seeing some friends tonight and about half a ton of small christmas craft projects for a friend who needs them for her charity stall and getting the house ready for Pixie who is coming to spend a couple of days since the spare room is covered in crap. Aside from all that, definitely resting.

Kewl, Spaw, glad to hear about the progress for Michael AND Tris' joys.

We have a few errands to run, today. I hope the station will NOT call Rog in for anything, or even call him for trivial crap like they did four times yesterday! (I think they forget some people rarely have days off and should not be bothered unless the place is burning down!)

Later on, I am sure we'll watch a movie or something whilst eating leftovers.:-) Yesterday we had a blast watching the old Disney animal version of Robin Hood, with Roger Miller's great songs, with my brother and grandson. I love that movie!

Tomorrow, we will relax, maybe try getting the gutters cleaned or finish painting the shutters or just clean up after Tksgiving dinner. (I have a list and I am not afraid to wave it around.:-)

Sunday is Rog's day to do absolutely nothing, if that's what he wants. We'll both be on the internet; I will probably try to finish up some editing work that's way past due. I am sure there will naps taken at some point and maybe a short drive in the country.

Thanks for asking,

kat

Yesterday, Thaursday and Thanksgiving, we spent the whole day with my son Michael. Several things we planned didn't work out but we had a good day together anyhow. On Sunday we are going back to the residential center he is in and move him to a Therapeutic Foster Home.....He's making progress.

Saturday we'll be with Connie and Wayne and I'm making Cioppino......I make GREAT Cioppino! We'll have an antipasto salad and garlic bread then sit around, BS, and digest.....Hey...we're a fun group(;<)).....but we do eat well!

Tristan is also out of school on Monday which is garbage pick-up and he'll be able to talk to the guys and he's having Mom make up a plate of tin of her homemade cookies to give them. He loves ALL trucks but the garbage truck is a BIG deal. One of the owner/drivers is an old student of mine who has done really well in the business and Ryan enjoys Tris. He's let him help sometimes which makes Tristan's day/week/etc. In all seriousness, down the road a bit that is a job Tris could do and would LOVE to do. Ryan might play a large part in that. He always said I was the best teacher he ever had so maybe we have an "in" ****Big Grin***.............

well, it started a few hours ago with a concert, then tomorrow afternoon the Nov/Christmas meeting of one of the organisations I belong to. Gotta get some food for the party, also a little pressie, and mustn't forget to take my library books back as I missed the Oct meeting.

Then in the evening (after voting sometime during the day!!) it's my folk club - we all have out fingers crossed the the Govt will change & the Prime Miniscule (aka Little Fascist Johnny) will lose his seat, as well as government.

Sunday afternoon a concert at JennyO's club, then a CD launch at a pub in the evening.

Apart from that, nuffin' much.

Out tonight for a curry with family.

Saturday usual horsie jobs and a gallop through the woods, weather permitting. Evening, music, TV depending whats on and a bottle of wine.

Sunday usual horsie jobs, mom over for lunch. She's 84 and off to Australia next Wednesday for a birthday party for one of her 'old' friends. I will be worried to death until she gets there, and then worried to death again until she gets back, but she loves travelling.

Just wondered about the diverse ways 'catters were going to be spending the next couple of days.

I'm wassailing with a few people I've not sung with before at the Mediaeval Fair in Ludlow, UK, tomorrow, out for dinner with my sweetie and and friends tomorrow night, bit of a lie in on Sunday followed by more singing at the fair and home in time for Top Gear.

Sounds a bit boring when I read it back, but, hey, I don't care!
