Went to Marseilles for a holiday should have come home on a Saturday, plane got cancelled twice and we ended up travelling back on the following Wednesday
1:30 am
sprite
wow, that is a bumpy homestretch. Was it a good holiday otherwise?
1:30 am
grannyrose
don is a little better. have worked out what's going on. he still has his tonsils !!
1:31 am
Maisie
Very good but that was followed by a very wet and very windy week in Devon, glad to be home
1:31 am
sprite
good grief. If they keep getting inflamed, he might have to have them removed. That is not a fun procedure at his age.
1:31 am
sprite
welcome home, Maisie :)
1:31 am
grannyrose
proud of you maisie, i would never have been able to tow a caravan like you just did. how's his shoulder?
1:31 am
Maisie
Catching up here, what's up with Don?
1:32 am
grannyrose
looks like tonsilitis. have him on pretty good anti's.
1:32 am
Maisie
Still can't move his arm but slowly getting better. I did feel proud of myself some of those roads were a bit narrow
1:33 am
sprite
sounds like you surpassed your own expectations, Maisie. Must be a good feeling :)
1:33 am
grannyrose
lolll.... have experienced some narrow roads over there.
1:33 am
Maisie
Thought you might have lol
1:34 am

*whistles innocently, looking at the sky... my, my, did you see that bird?*
1:34 am
Maisie
Yes Sprite but I might get lumbered with the job forever now
1:35 am
sprite
just tell himself: "That I CAN, doesn't mean I SHOULD." Common mistake, that ;)
1:35 am
grannyrose
what are you up to miss sprite?
1:35 am
sprite
what, who, me? Nothing, nothing *mumbles something about cars on walking paths under her breath*
1:36 am

antirob? Nah, no such thing in this world
1:41 am
Maisie
Really don't you have the odd antirob day?
1:42 am
sprite
never. Antirob minutes, sometimes. But they never last.
1:43 am
Maisie
Yeah perhaps the day is exaggerating
1:44 am
sprite
my love has this very irritating yet irresistable quirck... he can always make me laugh. No matter how irrirated I feel at him, he keeps teasing me until I laugh. And who can feel pissed while laughing?
1:45 am
Maisie
Good skill to have
1:45 am
sprite
it is :) Rose is my witness, Rob and I laugh a lot together
1:46 am
grannyrose
yup, she's telling it like it is.
1:46 am
sprite
did she tell you she gave Rob wet willy? LOL. Still cracks me up.
1:46 am
Maisie
No she didn't do tell
1:46 am
sprite
in the car, of all places. He was driving :)
1:47 am
sprite
he was teasing her and she just went and gave him a wet willy. He was absolutely flabbergasted, it was SO funny.
1:47 am
Maisie
My mind is boggling
1:48 am
sprite
she got him without words... quite the achievement
1:48 am
grannyrose
seemed like the right thing to do at the time...i'll never forget that yell
1:48 am
sprite
*grins* It was bloody brilliant
1:48 am
Maisie
Silly question but what did you wet him with
1:49 am
sprite
and Don was in the back seat with me and he just said: "She didn't. She didn't. Oh, yeah, she did."
1:49 am
grannyrose
wet pinkie in his ear
1:50 am
Maisie
With it now, was thinking you'd tipped something over his trousers lol
1:50 am
sprite
*ohhhh LOL* bad Maisie :)
