OMG Iris - remember it sooo well ... I've just been and ordered it too!!! . Tan you need to go and read up on it on Amazon ...
Funnily enough Iris I was reminded of it the other day ... I was watching Judge Judy and one of the defendants was Kunta Kinte ... Plunkett .. LOL!!
I thought that was hysterical.
I remember being mesmerised and really waiting for each episode - thanks for reminding me about it! xxx

- thanks for reminding me about it! xxxIt is all about slavery; it was a mini series in the 70's (i think)!! Incredible and very thought provoking. Like Jan says, have a read up on it! It was Tunc that mentioned Kunta Kinte the other day and it got me thinking, so decided we needed some new dvd's to watch as we are not for watching tv!

Brill Jan! oh, isnt that strange..wonder if they were descendants??? Unless they are common names like Smith!!
Glad your pain is subsiding Bev!!!
Must admit, just looking forward to getting back into a routine again! It is hard though, it is such a choice to make every single day, but at least I feel healthy when I am doing something positive!
Have a great week
Well so much on your thread to catch up on, but I have had a quick scant through.
Glad the bees have settled in Iris, have you ordered yourself a white suit yet?
Hope the pain has eased with Jan and Johns distant healing.
Also well done on the food side of things, you seem to have had a much better week.

How is your back today Iris? x
didnt have a good night :-( was up at 5AM with the stabbing pain and well couldnt even lie down so had to come downstairs and sit on the recliner chair for an hour and let the painkillers and anti inflams work their magic :-( Ok today, but that was the same yesterday...seems to be at night when I am lying on either my side or back!
mmmmm.....BUT, at least I can straighten up and not sore during the day...cant complain to be honest!

Aw Iris whats up with the bee's?
Glad you are feeling a little better, :fingerscrossed: Jan and 'dave' can do more for you tonight x

xWell guys the Queen bee is being a little lazy so and so!!! She just isnt laying eggs! She is suppose to lay approx 1000 a day!!! 4 weeks on ZILCH!!! mmmm...something isnt right at all!
You know, it was really strange, because when the guy that we bought them from was leaving, he said to Tunc....if they dont work, let me know and I will get another colony to you!! We found that strange and Tunc being so astute clocked it! So, in some ways we are not surprised, but it is a bit gutting.
We need another hive as we have to split what we have into another colony and put in a new Queen. So, thankfully farmer Ted has some old hives which Tunc has sorted and we now have to blow torch them and clean them up by Wednesday!! Guess what we will be doing tonight and tomorrow night...hahaha.....
It is a big learning curve and in some ways you learn by default and that is always the best way I reckon to learn! But a bit expensive !! haha..
Thanks for the Jan/Dave ;-) help!! HAD MY FIRST GOOD NIGHT SLEEP LAST NIGHT! Was a tad stiff this morning, but I am fine today, no aches and pains!! Apart from a cut lip but that is another story!!!!!!!!!!! Well, I picked up the telephone at work and bashed my mouth with it by mistake as I dropped it and consequently my tooth bit into my lip! I tell you...day/hell....comes to mind and it is only 1 oclock..no good, could just pack up and go home today it has been so stressful!!!
Right, on a more positive note
I start RC Wednesday...go to the class tomorrow; meeting my friend at 5:20!! oh, a bit nervous but at least I have always had success going to her class, so looking very positively at this! And with my friend doing it too it helps and we will be there for each other every day too via email!!
Better go and do some work, or get some lunch even!
Take care guys!!!

Here we go again!
It's lovely to hear you so positive about starting the RC classes Iris, really pleased for you.
Glad your aches and pains have gone, mine have started to really ease too, so glad, bet you are too.
Sounds as though you have a busy few days ahead of you what with the hives and all, take care and don't do too much, you don't want those aches and pains back!
Hope your lip's OK too! What you like!

Glad you're feeling better hon - sorry about your lip though!! Silly sausage!
Hope you get the hive all cleaned up and everything goes according to plan this time.
Tell Tunc not to be so suspicious .. maybe it's just not all that uncommon for the Queen to be unsettled and not 'behave' when she's had such a journey xx

I know!! me and my lip!! aahahah..
Well, there is a story about the bee guy that made us a bit suspicious as Ted has dealt with him in the past and was let down, but we obviously didnt realise he was one and the same guy!.....but, in all fairness to him, he is coming up tomorrow, which is a long drive from Wales and will help us out, so really, we cant say fairer than that, but I do suspect he thought she wasnt going to be any good.....but at least we are learning I suppose.
All cleaned now, so Tunc will do all the blowtorching tomorrow with Ted and hopefully will be ready in time for Wednesday.
Thanks Joy! I am really looking forward to them..a wee bit nervous as I obviously have to face the scales again and with them being someone elses could be more plus I havent really been that careful this weekend with not doing anything other than sitting on my backside!! But, not looking back..no point.
Oh, thanks Bev!!!
Glad you are getting back to full strength, but gosh it has lingered for you hasnt it!
Yes, lip is ok...it was the straw that broke the camels back today.....glad it was Tunc that was on the other end cause I couldnt even say good morning..haha.....It did bring a tear to my eye literally and bled :-( ah, but ok now...
