andré from england

I always CAN! - it's a choice, not an ability.

xxx missed you - you insane jane

Thanks for your message, André. Yes, I did have a lovely day, pottering around the garden in the sunshine. Pete cooked the dinner - roast pork & all the trimmings, and we washed it down with a bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape 1997 - yummy! Thanks for your thoughts for today - I always look for them. xx

Hi Andre'! I have not heard from gb in a very long time. I too miss his presence here.

Thank-you for the kind words.

André. I have seen the name from since the very early days and often wondered who the pommy female with the french bloke's name is. So in the spirit of the game I tag you... You know the rulez...

hi andre. by the way tag your it. evidently someone started a game of tag june 12th and I got into it somehow. your turn!! have a good one

Consider yourself tagged.

Whoops, it looks like you've already been tagged. Sorry about that, André!

Hi andré. Nice to hear from you. We are doing quite well, settled into some home time to recharge the batteries after the Australia trip. We've been visiting relatives and playing in the garden. Hope things go well with you too. Take care.

Thank you, Andre, for the birthday wishes.

Andre, Mönchengladbach is almost on the Dutch border, Dusseldorf is directly east of Mönchengladbach. Dortmund is east and slightly north of Dusseldorf. I don't have mileage but if you did any exploring it is more than possible you have been there.

Hi Andre
I've been in bed with the flu for the last couple of days so haven't been on the computer. Thanks for your tip. It's amazing, my wife rang an old school friend on Tuesday night only to discover they had only just come back from exactly the same tour my wife was planning run by Globus Tours. What they are looking to do is to stay an additional week IN Tuscany or Amalfi. The web is wonderful for searching for information. Thanks again.

Andre, thank you for dropping in to my page with birthday greetings. Having so many cyber friends brightens every day but is extra nice to hear from so many on my birthday.

Also, thanks for the comments on my birthday quilt. That was a great group of quilters who exchanged birthday blocks a few years ago, and I had such fun receiving each one and then planning a quilt setting to show them off to best advantage.

I fled him down the nights and down the days...

Hi Andre
Thanks for the birthday wishes. I had a wonderful day. Cup of tea in bed, then breakfast and present opening, then tap dancing, followed by late lunch, a bit of quiet time and then dinner out at a really really nice Italian local restaurant.

Sorry I don't visit the site so often these days, but have had an e-mail and wedding photos from Billy and hope to get to Wangaratta for the jazz festival and catch up with Rosemary there: however, accommodation is "packed to the rafters" and we haven't secured a booking yet. Here's hoping.

I miss the early days of sudoku friendships and it's good to know that quite a few have withstood the difficulties of time and distance. Cheers (hic!) Gloria

hiya girl, fancy a glass of bolly and some hocolate with me for old times sake?!! thx for the b/d wishes xx

Enjoyed your photos of Dorset. I had to get the British Road Atlas out to find Beer. We generally visit Swanage but have not been to Beer. Looks a quaint place.

Thanks André for remembering my birthday - you realise don't you that flattery will get you everywhere. Unfortunately it doesn't change my age.

Happy Fourth of July from the former colonies!



I must say I am surprised you never commented on this:

Best wishes, J

Lovely chatting with you last night, been awhile since I have had the chance.
Thought for the Day today was such a hoot most would think they have lived all the days but most have just existed.

Sue

for the sweet and thoughtful birthday wishes! Going to take a day off from the rock and have some fun.
It is such a treasure to have friends from all over the world sending birthday greetings - thank you!

Thanks, dear Andre, for the birthday greetings. It was good to hear from you!

Andre, for the lovely birthday greeting. My birthday was made extra special hearing from so many wonderful friends from around the world.

Hey André, I hope you found Mrs B'BH'S still in her state of CB?

Hi, Andre -- Thank you (very belatedly) for the birthday wishes. I had the most wonderful birthday this year!

Hi andré. Always nice to hear from you. We were in a famous old San Francisco restaurant called the Cliff House. It is on the ocean side, a few blocks from the restaurant where we had the SF Sudoku party. I hope things go well with you.

Good to see you back André. I figured that you were probably in Spain, and I read about the fires. Good yo know you stayed safe. However, the site has been quite thoughtless without you, so everyone missed you! Cheers!

thanks so much for the birthday wishes. i really should update the piccys!

Andre, what a treat to receive your birthday wishes! Thanks for thinking of me. I'll raise a glass to you tomorrow night when my hubby wines and dines me ...

Hi andré
Woke up and listened on radio to last two hours starting at 5pm your time. Couldn't be bothered getting up to watch TV. Hoping for good weather for tonight our time.
Funnily enough my wife's sister is booking today and they are going on 17th October, 13 day bus tour right around Italy then some time in Rome, Tuscany and Monarco.Hopefully it won't be too cool by then. They will be away for almost 4 weeks. We went to renew our passports today and things have changed since last time. Birth extract which my wife has always used is not sufficient. You must have a full birth certificate now. Hopefully that will not hold things up too much. Mine was okay but I'm not going anywhere.

Oh, Andre, aren't you something, remembering my hubby ... We had a lovely picnic planned, had everything spread out beautifully--food nicely arranged on plates, wine poured, then the sky opened up and pelted us with rain! In case you were wondering, we finished our meal, drank our wine, and then ran to the car. No sense letting all that food and wine go to waste! Tomorrow night we're going to an evening of jazz in our botanical gardens--how much do you want to bet it will rain again?

Hi andré

I don't regard travelling as a holiday. I tend to stress about missing planes and hotel rooms not being available. My idea of a holiday is to go to a Pacific Island and have someone deliver regular canapés and drinkies. My wife has been to Italy before, many years ago but this time is travelling with her two sisters who haven't been there. They are Catholics so that is an additional attraction.
I have tentatively agreed next year to go on a Greek Island cruise followed by a trip up the Nile if the political situation is okay. That will only mean three flights and very few accommodation changes.
The next test starts Thursday at Headingly so hopefully the weather will hold. It seems to me there is not much differnce between the two teams.
Cheers
David

By the way I noted the lyrics at the top of your page. I presume that is the original and correct version. Over here we sing
Zippedy Doo Dah, Zippedy Day, My My My what a wonderful day.

Hello André - Thank you for the Birthday Greetings! They have helped to make my day very special!

Hi André
Thanks for the birthday wishes. Been a hiccup with my wife's passport renewal. She'sstarting to get a bit jumpy as to whether she will have it in time.
Thanks again
David

bene and gignere - this I wish for you always. x

Thanks for the birthday wishes Andre.

Loved your Ireland photos, Andre - thank you for sharing them. Did you have the Lord of the Dance youtube on your page before or did you coordinate this with your photo array? Either way, very cool!

begorrah, she's gone all Irish on us!!

André - I love your photos of Ireland. It is one of my favorite places in the world and your pictures brought back many happy memories.
