i call stewart wonky!! lol, he used to work at a mens outfitters shop in London and he told me this old man came in looking for old fashioned pjs, he wanted the matching hat to go with them, so hence the name winky after the nursery rhyme wee willy winky!!, i have a nasal spray to take twice a day as the pollen affects me a lot, my foot is still sore, but i carry on best i can, i see serena williams is out of the womans single tennis in the olympics, our andy murray is still in it though, he’s brother is playing doubles with an english player who is still in the tennis womans singles, i did ironing this morning before i went to see to patch this morning, i made a jelly, marinated some pork steaks for dinner tonight, we are having the pork steaks, mashed potatoes and green beans for dinner tonight, ive not done that much today realy, watched some of the olympics that i have been recording, i will have to purchase a tv guide this week that will tell you what times certain games for the olympics are on, as i dont know when things are on, we have several b b c channels and thats the channels that are reporting and showing olympic things, i know that they had some dressage going on soon on tv , what does your dad do for work?
