"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Even the Easter eggs seem to be dancing and jumping for joy over news of Dutchy's progress.





Since a very special person deserves a very special Easter egg, I am sending Dutchy this beautiful Faberge egg created from lapis lazuli, gold, diamonds, and platinum. (I just hope that the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts didn't notice me slipping it into my purse. )

Thanks FF, my little boy loved your dancing eggs.

Some Easter oysters for the Bosun - get well soon Dutchy!

That rabbit looks like it needs a worm tablet.

Perhaps its anal glands need clearing!

Greetings dear sweet friends, thank you kindly for joining me on this auspicious day; a day in which the son of God gave his life so we may have Easter Eggs.

Amen

What they above said

A little news.

Message to YABBER CREW..

"HAPPY EASTER - GIVE MY LOVE TO ALL " from Dutchy.

Ms Anna called and Dutchy agreed to us getting him a Computer expert out, off course we can't until after Easter...

So....... After organising the Computer guy (MONDAY) Aussie time, fingers crossed, I rang Anna to ask her to take the broadband stick with her ....

So, D and I decided in them meantime, to at least see if we can give him a TV for a couple of days.

We were told by the Hospital to attend, use our credit card and whalla.

So, we attended gave him a bag of small Easter Belguin Chocolates from everyone here, to share with Anna but he said he was going to hide them, I warned him I'd call her and dob, he said "you wouldn't"...

Well his TV which we then found out whilst there has a keypad and Internet ? Was stuffed... The Nurses spent half an hour trying to log in... All the while Dutchy was told by them that they needed to check the TV not advising what we were attempting to do... We ended up having to leave, leaving some money to see if they got it going in the end.. Alas, as I type it appears not.

HE LOOKED FANTASTIC, full of energy talked for ever, was alert, happy and just missing his Computer.

Anna, knew that too but laughed that he won't do any crosswords.

So, fingers crossed the Computer guy WILL get it all working. I discussed where we were at and what I thought was the problem and he agreed, so it should be simply taking a sim card out of the modem that was put in from the broadband stick, putting it back into the stick and configuring the computer to it. I think that he was given 1 day free internet from the Hospital so it was connected to the Hospital..

HAPPY EASTER ALL.

Be wary, I think he can type a bit more now

Full moon this week, very lovely to behold.

Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in silver feathered sleep
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws, and silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.

That's beautiful, McTag - who wrote it?

Hi FS

All sounding good at Danny's end, healthwise anyway. He sounds as if he's coming along at a great pace now.

Shame about the computer! But I'm sure you and computer guy will get it sorted for Danny soon. Be so good to have him back on board.

Did you see my post earlier where I relayed a message from people on the crossword puzzling threads? He's missed everywhere. I told Margsy that someone here would be sure to pass on their good wishes.

Afternoon Crew

Thanku FS - all good Thanku so much for all you're doing for our Bosun. It will be sooo good to see him back on the ship.



waving to all the crew

Grass is cut, tea to hand and off to my happy place





toodlepip!

Is this something like, "Bye"?

Gorgeous pics, querida.

this always shocks me - the idea of you having to cut your grass in March. We start thinking about it in May.

Indeedy ((((((Boida)))))) <I still have wood pigeons to show you...ahahha, I'm so rubbish and just all over the place. I'll get there eventually> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



Ha, it's really brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr outside but gorgeous! A lot of the UK is still struggling with snow... 15ft in places but not down y'ere in Deb'n (not a flake in sight <ahem> ), though we're close to fffffffreeezing and they're -9 to -10 at night oop North in the rural country. The livestock have been struggling - many buried in snow and terribly sad for the farmers sheep who are lambing. The SouthWest has been very fortunate with the weather.

The beautiful bride and groom were having photos taken yesterday in -2deg (on the coast) and didn't get the sunshine we've had today. Bless them. Oh my though, the bride was so stunningly beautiful and had they had the most wonderful day.

Beautiful time of day it is... and tomorrow we Spring forward into Summertime...




















... OK, so it's definitely not summertime, but we'll get there.

The sun has just dipped... I so love the 30 mins before that happens and golden light, a perfect time of day to sit for a while.





My parents are celebrating their Golden Wedding Anniversary a week today... nearly all the family will be there... 52 folk to toast my parents - both my children will be there. The next two weeks will be the very best of my life - anniversaries to celebrate. Very peaceful, very happy.
