Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone.  Well done Bramble I am glad you are feeling a little better this morning Summer

 

Definitely feeling cooler this morning.  It was amazingly warm and humid at the funeral yesterday and although there was only a service at the crematorium it was a very warm Christian service with many people speaking with great affection of our friend who by all accounts had lead a most interesting life and showed great kindness to everyone he met.  He was described as a real gentleman which is the way everyone described my hubby so it's no wonder they hit it off.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, I'm pleased that it was a very warm Christian funeral service yesterday. I once went to a non-religious funeral service at the local crem of a friend of my late mother and it was utterly devoid of any warmth at all.

 

It's funny you should say that EL, I was just talking to a friend recently and her brother died quite recently.  Just before he died he said to her 'promise me you won't let me have a funeral like that' referring to one they had both attended a couple of years ago.  It was probably a humanist funeral, no offence meant to any who like that sort of funeral but we all have different tastes, and he found it soulless.  My friend is a wonderful Christian lady and she was so comforted to find that before her brother passed he had been unconscious for some time and then woke up, bright as a button and said 'there's no need to worry I've seen so-and-so' and gave further descriptions. Obviously he had been given a foretaste of heaven and was quite at ease when he died a couple of days later. At the funeral yesterday we entered to Amazing Grace and sang The Lord's My Shepherd with organ accompaniment during the service and left to Louis Armstrong What a Wonderful World.  So although our friend was not a churchgoer it would seem he was a believer

Squiggle, I think that funeral I had gone to was a humanist one as well.

 

Your friend's brother's account is similar to the one I  have mentioned before about my late client who, shortly before she died, woke to tell her son that she had seen that she had regained the use of her arthritic hands and had been sewing clothes for the angels.

Some wonderful hymns and song at yesterday's funeral.

After this afternoon's football, the top of League 2 looks like this:

 

Position	Team	Played	Goal Difference	Points
Moving up 1	Cheltenham	6	4	14
Moving up 2	Morecambe	6	5	13
Moving down 3	Burton	5	4	13
No Movement 4	Shrewsbury	6	5	11
No Movement 5	Wycombe	6	4	11
No Movement 6	Bury	6	3	11
Moving up 7	Northampton	6	2	11
Moving up 8	Plymouth	6	4	10
Moving down 9	Portsmouth	5	3	10

Squiggle and El, I've only been to one humanist funeral and hubby has been to a few. We both share your feelings on them.

Of course, we understand why those with no religious beliefs would prefer to have one - each to their own.

 

Middle son and DiL have been visiting. Lots of chatting and laughing.

Evening all

Hope you've had a good day

The last funeral I attended was a humanist one, it was a strange situation and I didn't know the person who had died, but I thought it was tastefully done.
I fully intend to make everyone laugh at my funeral, I have requested it be very colourful indeed

 Bright and happy to match your personality.

I'm tired, so off to bed. 

Goodnight and sweet dreams Summer and Fremsley.

Moonie, we miss you, get well soon.

 

Lol thanks yogi
Hope you sleep well, sweet dreams

Leaving goodnight & get well hugs for absent but not forgotten friends

Good morning everyone.

Summer, I love the Pooh and Piglet pic.

Weather is dry and bright, so I'm hoping to get some gardening done today.

Have a good day everyone.

 

 

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here at present but is forecast to become sunnier.

 

A get well soon for Moonie.

 

Summer, and pancakes to be provided at the do after the funeral service

 

Yogi, I hope you have a productive gardening day today

Good morning everyone, one of those pearly grey morning with a promise of better things to come

 

I hope all goes well with the gardening Yogi. A lovely goodnight pic Summer

 

Keeping the theme going

 

Aaaaw that's cute ^

Good morning
It's a lovely day here, I got up quite early for a Sunday and got some laundry done, it's drying outside now I usually do it on Saturday night but just couldn't face it last night.
I'm 99% sure that I have tonsillitis, my throat is pure pain, rather than typical sore throat symptoms, which made me remember how it felt as a child. I googled it and found I have every symptom.
So I'm resting, drinking, gargling salt water and hoping it'll go away in a couple of days like it should

Summer, I hope your tonsillitis clears up within a couple of days If it doesn't then you need to see your doctor. I assume you are gargling with warm salty water rather than cold as warm is more effective.

 

Thank you El, yes absolutely and it's soothing my throat very nicely too. I felt rotten this morning but much better this evening I've been trying to to eat healthy foods today

I hope you've all had a nice day, I'm settling down for the strictly launch

I'm glad you are feeling a bit better.

Btw, I'm in the Strictly thread.

Did you enjoy it yogi? I loved it!

I did! I like the new male pro, Tristan and I like Thom and Jake. I like Scott too.

I was surprised to like some of the ones I'm not familiar with, especially jake. He seems like a decent person, I'm looking forward to getting to know them all
Scott is funny, he's looking older now, so I must be too lol

DiL (middle son's wife) loves Scott, youngest son loves Frankie from The Saturdays and Mr Yogi hates Judy Murray.

Haha I like it! They each have good taste Who did you like?

I like Thom, jake and Scott, and I like Sunetra. Mark Wright was okay when he was in IAC, but I never watched Towie.

I can't stand Gregg.

Which one is Greg?
I didn't watch towie either, I accidentally caught 2 mins of it once and it seemed utterly pointless. He's very popular though for some reason

Gregg is the bald greengrocer who "judges" the food on Masterchef, even though he doesn't have a cooking qualification to his name.

 

Who you like/not like?

Ooooh him! Hmm yes I wasn't too bothered by him either.
I like Frankie, Scott and thom seems alright, I like iveta so I hope she turns him into a good dancer
I don't like Simon

I think I'm going to like Caroline & Pasha too

Simon from Blue? I thought he might be a bit cocky.

 

I love Pasha but I'm undecided about Caroline. That fling with Harry from 1D was a bit 

Off to bed, goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer.

Night owl hug for Fremsley And hugs for our absentees.

She had a fling with Harry from 1D?! Oh dear. I hadn't heard that story

I'm fading too so sleep well yogi, goodnight

Good morning everyone

 

Sunny day here

 

A get well for Moonie

 

Summer, I hope your tonsillitis is clearing up
