After being out most of yesterday celebrating a birthday of a fella camper not a lot and considering the lack of sunshine whatever we do will be indoors. Eileen

I love Crete been 15 times. The food is superb my favourite's are Fasolia, tiropita, and Dakos unfortunately they don't agree with Dave and he bloats up with this type of food so although they are considered good for you they are not suitable for all. Eileen

It stayed dry pm but rained last night and still raining this morning. At the moment it is dry but very overcast so Sue the weather isn't much better here in Brittany. We also love the lakes and whilst staying a couple of years ago decided to do some walks so copied Wainwrights walks and laminated t...

Not pleasant Stanley and I have had surgery 3 times due to scar tissue. The gas bubble they put in this last time was in my line of vision for 9 weeks before it disappeared. The gas can also cause a cataract to form, had one removed and a new lens on the 2nd op but they think I may need another remo...

We sat out all afternoon as it was warm and sunny but we had plenty of cloud early evening and rain during the night and this morning. Eileen

I agree with Wendy Eileen

I remember as a child there always being a bottle of olive oil on the mantelpiece keeping it warm then if anyone of us got earache (not the verbal kind) olive oil was put in the ear with cotton wool. I suffered it regular until my tonsils and adenoids were removed.Eileen

Lucky you Wendy I love record offices. We are going out for a birthday lunch to a local restaurant 3 courses. coffee and as much wine as you want for 11 euro's. Dave hates this particular restaurant but it's not his birthday he'd sooner have quality rather than quantity. Eileen

Spagbol followed by strawberries and ice cream. Eileen

Know the feeling Stanley my mother bought me a school skirt which was down to my calves said I would grow into it. Mini skirts were the norm so I rolled it up round the waist only my waist was 4 inches wider. When I got to my fourth year when instructed to get it cleaned ready for my fourth year I h...

Home made Pork pies followed by rhubarb pie and custard Eileen

English beans on toast followed by lemon madeira cake and custard. Eileen

I only ever had sensible shoes when I was young mainly because only having small feet couldn't get fashion shoes to fit me in my teens. My friends had winkle pickers and stiletto's in their early teens but only took size 1 to their size 4/5 so couldn't get them to fit me. Eileen

Not a lot, trip to shops for bread and a few provisions. Was going to do my washing but the weather has determined that it won't be being done today. Eileen

On the cataract Stanley I don't think you'll have a problem. Two of my brothers have had them done and they were out and about within hours. They put a patch over it for coming home but told to remove as soon as they got home. Neither needed their glasses for distance. The downtime with retinal surg...

I agree with Chinatyke on the hard work that goes into keeping this site working. Will make a donation when I get back to the UK won't be much but little is better than nothing. Haven't done it earlier as I was waiting for the 2013 target and as you know I haven't been able to use the site much due ...

Don't think they would pay out knowing how much the French like the English Eileen

Wish the weather would settle here. Yesterday it rained until about 1pm then the sun came out and the temps went up to the 90's so too hot to sit out. Then at about 6pm thought we would sit out we got high winds and a few drops of rain. The drops were about 1" dia when they hit the deck. This m...

Stanley sounds like Hilda Baker syndrome eh? Eileen

Well done Nolic on the weight loss. Eileen

Last night thunder and lightening and heavy showers raining at the moment but sky is blue so who knows. Certainly feels a lot fresher. Eileen

Not heard that one Stanley only in one ear out the other. Eileen

We have all been duped here into buying 2 breathalyzer kits in our cars to conform with the law only to find that Hollande is on the board of directors and it has now been stopped. Eileen

We had a chicken curry but didn't enjoy it much as we normally bring our curry sauces with us but used a French one. Eileen
