Friends...you can't beat

Counting down to our trip to the UK to attend the weddings. Did I mention that I installed a dedicated paid Wedding Hotline for the family in the UK to call us and keep us up to date with wedding plans etc. In fact just to keep in contact. This line has been working over time and I am exhausted. I have blisters on my ears! There have been 'panic stations' , tantrums and despite the dedicated Wedding Hotline there has been crossed lines. It was "Two Weddings and a Migraine" now its "Two weddings and a Suicide"!! What was to be a Bollywood style movie might end up a 'Horror Movie'.....there agaain how's about Bolly goes Horror?

Being the eternal optimist ...it will all work out in the the end. While they embarrass me to no end I still love them. My bark is worse than my bite and I think I have finally realised that they know this too. To bring calm and peace over the London horizon eldest daughter has taken up the role of Headmistress and we been told to put all comments, requests, observations etc in writing and email it to her. She is the appointed 'Go Between" before murder and mayhem sets it. Being a teacher this role comes easy to Ms Bossyboots. I need to get her married if not she's off to St Tinians!

My exercise regime continues and I happy to report there is also weight loss. My other half is quickly becoming my significant quarter as she also loses weight rapidly. We both hope to keep this up long term.

Again despite the gloomy economic virus which seems to be affecting us all and is unfortunately becoming more evident amongst our friends and thereby a reality on our doorstep I might take up Golf... seriously. Hopefully the cost of round of golf might go down. !!

I tried to avoid discussing the Economic Virus that is hitting us all but it is in the air and directly overhead. Brainstorming ...is the order of the day even before the morning coffee. The subject ...how to earn a dollar a day! Thanks to the email and the internet we hope to pass the message. I tell all my friends and family that when you receive an email from me please ...please forward it on....

Tomoorow I have to buy a suit for the weddings. Unfortunately it has to be a dark suit...not my style but I play to the house rules!

That last sentence reminds me of how many of my dear male friends have to follow the House Rules. By comparison I think I am getting away with murder. At the moment the winner and top of the league is 'J' ..he is expected to live as if "SHE' is there all the time. They are still newly married so at this rate they are going to be long term winners. An absolutely great couple and it is always fun to have them around. we are their surrogate parents so there is time to offer advise...More on 'J' as times go on. I am still sure about his sunglasses, Wham and pyjamas!!!!

Number 2 on the list is my best mate Dave...he is always in it...so much so that after more than twenty years he feels more comfortable being in it. Occasionaly ,as "Dave" puts it ..."sometimes you slide in and sometimes you slide out...you know don't you.?"
They are the best couple to have around.
When I find myself on a beach with little or nothing to do I will tell you more about them and the wonderful times we have shared.

Friends ..you can't beat. So despite the Economic Virus with friends like mine you can see why the sun still shines out of my big Florida blog.
