morning flower i! just saw your post in the wrong place. the alternative to the prepaid card si a really basic electron bank account. the thing about prepaid cards is that you could lose all your money....they do come with a warning. however electron debit cards are exempt from ryan air charges. i have a very basic cash minder account at the co-op bank where i keep enough money in to pay for flights etc on line and you can't be charged a fee for using that. i also have another a/c which is where my salary gets paid to etc but it's useful to have the other as i just transfer what i need easily and it's protected! we are enjoying the sun.... h has a footie match this afternoon so i am going to sit on the side lines with a picnic and a bottle of chardonnay!!!!! hope all is well with you! xxx

morning jim! actually i have to go back to the doc this morning or at least so a phone consultation as i had a raging temp last night and it is still sore to breathe. kite watching again, huh? well i am ensconsed in the livingroom and i have been spending the past few days watching the birds at the feeder we have outside the window. as we are at the top of the tree i watch them sort of queuing up on the branches - talk about pecking order!!! (sorry) a few weeks ago we had a woodpecker in the garden - a male greater spotted - i thought i was seeing things as this is surely not normal for the middle of a city? have a lovely kite watching day flower. xxx

morning jim! looking a bit brighter here today. the north west is supposed to be having a hose pipe ban....not that it would make much difference as we have had so much rain. the great irony is that they have build a beach with a "shore" in liverpool 1 complete with deck chairs and sand.....we passed it on saturday when i took h to the Shackleton exhibition at the maritime museum on saturday. it was cloudy and windy and in typical british seaside mode peeps were attempting to have a fun time!!! are you back at work on your normal schedule now? have a lovely day. xxx

morning jim! how's you this fine morning.....i am sitting in bed listening to a coule of (i think) kestrals calling. i;ve seen them circling around the cathedral recently and on my way to work even witnessed an ariel assault by one on a couple of un suspecting pidgeons.....got a long shift today - will be home too late for cuddles with h....have a lovely day. xxx

morningn flower! down to 3 pills, eh? that can only mean progress. dunno where sommer went to ( past junction 19 a on the m6) it has been damp and miserable and we really haven't been able to do that much. hoping to take the last week of august off so i can spend some time wiht h in what is still his summer hols and maybe go on some day trips. am going to take him to the maritime museum this afternoon as there is an exhibition on shakleton. we went to the discovery in dundee ( actually to a posh champagne reception ) and it was wonderful. so although it was scotts boat at least he'll have some idea....are you up to anything exciting? have a lovely day! xxx
