Good Evening all. Well I'm going to be clever and reply to your messages in the same message and below I will put my day. Carol I'm so happy you had a lovely time at coffee club as always your cakes and sausage rolls so yummy just my thing. Glad you played bingo and how cool you used your own braille card and got on so well with it. Oh it's so much better to be able to play our own cards instead of having someone do them for us isn't it? I love to be able to join in it's much more fun and we get into the atmosphere of it all. Glad you had a quiz too. O let's hope the weather will be good for your trip to garden centre on Friday. Glad you enjoyed your pizza with chips which is what I had last night and you got your choc fix with kitkat. Oh it's so scary these riots and yes I heard it's now come over to my part of the world oh dear. I don't blame you not going into town for a couple of weeks while all that's going on. OH how weird you had rain and our weather has been fine. Senn I'm so happy you had a good chill out day and of course your choc fix. I hope you enjoyed your tea whatever you had would be yummy of course. Well I know for sure that in the chocolate competition I would win for sure by a long way haha. Well our blind clubs are in the afternoon. Phyllis I'm so happy you had such a lovely time last night. Oh it will be so cool to text each other for sure. Oh yes I was in the land of nod when you sent this for sure you know me so well haha. Like the middle of the night for me haha. OH yes it will be so cool if you made a rug for our little Jamie and Meghan but of course will have to ask first and keep you posted on that. Sarah hope you and Jamie have a lovely time. Oh I knew you would love my joke about the chocolate flowers. I don't like anything with fruit and nuts in either. Yes I love chocolate hearts too it made me think of those I had on those cakes at our afternoon tea at the garden centre all that time ago. Well I had a lovely time at Janet's blind club as always and at least I didn't get stressed this time as I knew my good old daddy was taking me there as we knew there was no volunteer drivers for me. We did word games, a quiz and Janet read more jokes out to us. We had choc biscuits with a good old cuppa. Well now for the amazing news. Pat managed to get her phone swapped as she wasn't getting on well with the c5 one. She now has an Oasis 22c and she seems so much happier with it although she still has a lot to learn. I used to have that phone so I offered to help her and give her a lesson how cool. She seemed to take in what I was showing her but the test will be when she tries it out on her own at home. I gave her my mobile number and she gave me hers but as I'm able to put new contacts in both my phone and her phone I did that for her as well as for me. I told her to ring me if she gets stuck. My parents offered to take me over to Pat's house if she gets stuck so I can give her a private lesson and she said that will be ideal so we arranged that next Friday will be ok for us both as Pat has Fridays free and it's my quiet week with no blind clubs so that will work out well. My parents will spend time in town while I spend time with Pat not bad going. I can't wait for us to be able to text each other when she gets into using her phone how cool. For tea it was fish fingers with mash and white sauce and that yummy aero mousse and later aero balls so my all important chocolate fix in a big way. Well both my clubs are in the afternoon from 2 till 4 and as the traffic's usually bad I'm late home and then it's tea time so that's why I'm late on here when I'm at both clubs Mondays and Wednesdays. It's the same for the dance so when we start back in September it's from 1.30 to 4 PM. I'm missing it so can't wait to start back again. Well my nephew Jamie will be here tomorrow it will be lovely I'm looking forward to us playing dominoes and my board games again. Love Clare xxxx
