All the time!
We hear of people being stabbed or shot, we hear about soldiers getting killed in foreign parts, just kids bless them. Whatever age anyway, it is so sad.
Then important documents left on trains.
Then we hear that some "High Ups" are going to do something about it. I want to know when?
All this stuff going on and yet nothing much being done to stop it or is there?
I am an ordinary woman, I live an ordinary life. But things are getting much worse than they were.
Please do something someone. Please.

13th. Friday the..................
Hope everyone had a good day yesterday. lol I wonder how many people are suspicious? I like to think I'm not. But I think I am not fooling anyone at all.
If I see a magpie I do a little wiggle of my fingers, not a full wave. I mean, people will think I have lost it. Ok, I have but don't want the world and his wife to know. Fingers crossed when I HAVE to walk under a ladder.
I am sure there must be other things I do. Can't remember at the moment. Yes, there is another, salt, not to pass it to someone, place it on the table so they can pick it up. If I spill some, never remember which shoulder to throw it over.
I give up now as I will start to think of loads of them.
Good luck everyone!

Families and stuff.
Emmerdale...............Gen + Shadrack.
Corrie...................... Gail + Ted.
Eastenders...............Chelsea and her dad.
Holby City ……........Maria, just found her mum. (I think.)
I am not at all jealous, no, not me. lol
I do know they are only soaps and are not real life. (Maybe slightly based on real life as I am sure these things do happen.)
Me………dad located.
He is deceased and his step daughter, now 69 – 70 doesn’t want to know. Her brother who is my half brother doesn’t seem to want to know either. I have spoken to him once, seemed a really nice man.
Good luck Soap Characters, hope you get on better than I did. Also, everyone out there who is looking for their relatives, good luck to you too.
I have a granddaughter who will be seeking her half sister and brother one day.If she manages it, I wish her all the best.

My Natural Father........
I wrote this in 2005.
Hello again.
I notice that I have had a few visitors today. I wonder if you too, are searching for a natural parent? I have looked through "Missing Persons" sites and I could cry. People looking for the mother they never knew. Wanting to know about their fathers', so sad.
I actually "found" mine. Ok, he died in the '70's. He was a Canadian, but he died in the USA.
But out there, I have a half brother. I will not name anyone here. I have spoken to my half-brother, sounded a lovely man. Told me a bit about his/my "father". But due to me telling his step-sister that I thought "Father" knew about me, nothing since!
I live in England so it's not as though I could just turn up on their doorsteps is it? This lady (step-daughter of "father") will NOT speak to me now. (Hope you are following this!!!!) Have tried ringing her.
Her e-mail address has changed too. lol I just wonder why????
I miss a man I'll never know,
Died in a place, I'll never go.
All my life I'll feel quite sad,
As I believe, he was my dad.
There are people out there, who knew him well,
His family, with tales to tell,
What kind of man he used to be,
I wonder if he knew of me.
My childhood dad was good and kind,
So why, the need to look behind?
But it's still with me, night and day,
Will it ever go away?
Yesteryear is far away,
I should only live life for today.
So if I'm brave, maybe I'll find,
The memory will fade, from my mind.

Bad......................
Today I have been really fed up. I am bored, I am still not smoking. Nothing to look forward to. Bah.
But, if I stop and think about it, I am being silly. I have my health, I don't have to worry about paying my way. Summer is on the way, good or bad we will have to wait and see.
Just a touch of depression then? It will soon pass. I hope so anyway.
No work this week up to now. After last week's shifts I don't care either.
Not to worry, today is another day in another month. Never know what nice thing might happen eh?

Not fair, my birthday.
It should be my birthday tomorrow but no, it is leap year again. I have to wait an extra day. Not fair is it?
I suppose it could have been worse. I might have been born tomorrow, the 29th.
Happy birthday to all that have a birthday tomorrow. I wonder whether next year you will have it on the 28th or like me, the 1st March. St. David's Day????
There would be a lot more candles on my cake than this, in fact the Fire Brigade would be on standby. lol

Weather, cigs and me.
Maybe I am, selfish that is. But I am fed up. Feel like crying. Need a bit of excitement in my life. Is my low mood due to, a/ stopping smoking? b/ no work at the moment. c/ it's going to be a long winter. I don't know. Just hope it passes soon.
It's not that far off Christmas, that will get me down. Not that I dislike it. I do think it starts too early in the shops etc. I know I am not alone in that. Loads of people think the same. The sound of "Jingle Bells" tend to drive you round the bend at times. I would just hate to work in a store that plays the music all the time. Ok, call me Mrs Scrooge if you want to.
I am not fond of being cold either. Hate snow and ice. Frightened of heavy winds too. In this part of old England we have little or no snow for the past two years. Will it keep away from me this winter too? I think it would be too good to be true if it did.
Ahhh well, happy week to you all.

No chocolate left.
Ok, call me greedy but I haven't any chocolate left. None. Ahhhhh. Will get some tomorrow though. Now, is some chocolate good for you? They say dark chocolate is better than milk choc. I, of course love the milk choc.
Nearly gone 24 days without a cig, so a girl has to have some comfort doesn't she? Mind you, I won't be able to fit in my favourite denim skirt if I keep troughing the stuff. Can't give up everything at once.
No work this week, well not up to now and not until Sunday. I suppose, what I mean is, I know I am going Sunday, have known for a while but no extra phone calls from work asking me to go in. I can't really go this week, too much going on. Just wish I could say it was really nice and exciting stuff but it ain't.

Well? Is life good or bad?
Kids getting shot in the street.
This refuse malarky, I am too old to work out what goes in what. Just got used to the change in money, the new two pence etc. lol But I know what I would rather put up with.
Ok, when I was young there were fights. Bottles and such. But you knew where to keep away from. And what time of the year too. Flick knives had been banned I think.
As I sail on to the winter of my years, I worry, just hope that everything and I mean everything improves.
Why can't people just get on with their lives? Why fight and kill? Those parents that have lost a child, poor things. I can't imagine how they feel. People blame the parents of the killers. Are they right?

A little Humour. And where are you?
What do you call a married couple who go fishing???
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Rod and Annette!
Just been thinking of people I have lost due to computer crashes in the past! Where are you, Sue, AKA okimamma? Doreen, who used to be shirleyvalentine@sympatio.com formally, from Scotland. Karen and Kevin and children from Australia! Mary Jo from Dallas. Lost friends.
I used to be mrsdanne@btinternet.com now anne.anne2@btinternet.com I would love to hear from you and others I have lost! It's been a few years since I last wrote. I apologise.
I am Anne from Lancaster, England.
Also, in the USA, I think there is a lady named Glenda. She once lived in Heysham/Morecambe. She was searching for her friend Sheila. I know where Sheila is!!! I saw your message on a Morecambe Site but you had changed your e-mail address. Sheila was so excited when I told her you were looking for her Glenda.
Still cold in the north of England. Surely, it must get warm soon.
Last night, I worked. A lot of confused patients. Hard work, after all, we aren't psychiatic nurses. We just do our best! I still enjoy my work though. Confused or not, I find we learn a lot from the patients in our care. When I first started, there were patients that were born in the late 1800s. They told really interesting stories, even for an old nurse like me. The older patient today still have great tales to tell!

retirement?
Welcome
This is just a kind of Blog that will relay my thoughts, wishes and dreams.
I take it, a nearly 62 year old lady is allowed to dream? Not past it yet am I? Nah. Still life in the old dog yet.
What I would like to know, when is the age I become known as elderly? Am I middle aged now? I feel it sometimes. Other times, I feel like a young person! Hee, hee.Hello
Been to work this evening. I finish for good at the end of this month. Well, that is the plan. Do I want to completely finish or not? It's up to me I suppose. maybe I should just cut my hours down a bit more. Just work on the ward where I am happiest. I dunno.

Bad, could be much worse though.
Typical or wot? Had a good few days off this week and I get a cold.Not fair. I only hope I feel better tomorrow and don't spread my germs about! It's work again.
My hopes and dreams have been put "on hold" until I feel better. Had the 'flu jab and last year, had the pneumonia jab. Wish someone would invent the common cold jab too. I mean, a lot of us will have suffered this winter won't we? I know things could be a lot worse though.
I could do with some major cheering up. Win the lottery or get the news that I am becoming a gran again. There again, I suppose a lot of us would like a lovely surprise.
Never mind, soon be summer. Must be, had a huge butterfly in here the other day! Red Admiral I think. Poor little thing must have the seasons mixed up.
The daffodils are in bud. No sign of the snowdrops or even one crocus. I think t'old fella kills them when he does the garden. I know there where one or two in the past. He swears he never touched them but for a chap that doesn't know a weed from a flower, I am not so sure. Take care friends. Atishoo. Bless me!

all sorts of rubbish
Well, do I agree with the banning of cigs? Yes and no. I smoke but don't like it when I am eating. I must say, I have been guilty of it in the past.
What does amuse me, is the cafes that have a smoking part and a non smoking part. If you are a non smoker, the smell of tobacco travels. Does even if you don't smoke.
So, wot is going to happen? Wot happens to people, say in hospital? They are allowed to smoke at home but because they have had their appendix out, they can't smoke! I can forsee trouble there.
I would love to wake up one morning and just never need another ciggie again. No problems, just not want one. Glad I don't do drugs or booze. Patches haven't helped me. They do for some people, why not me? No will-power, that's why. Wot a life eh?
I think MPs are allowed to puff away, read that they could be exempt cos they work on Royal grounds. Therefore, I might become an MP for somewhere! Only joking. As I said, don't know whether it's a good idea or what? Could cause fires, someone having a crafty drag where they shouldn't and trying to get rid of the evidence.
