I have see loads of bumbly bees already this year Yogi

I like bees they're far less nasty. I like they're honey too!

That's good news, as they have been on the decline in recent years.

 

 

I love honey.

Mr summer has a friend who keeps bees!

wow

 We need bees.

 

Its all them nasty chemicals we spray everywhere Yogi

We got 2 jars of honey last year, they were delicious.
The gentleman in question thinks the bees are in decline because a lot of bee keepers have taken too much honey from the hives.. not sure how true that is but he's certainly very successful so he must know how much to take without harming the swarm

 I'm sure you are right. 

He sounds like a very responsible bee keeper.

 Love it!

Those bees are adorable!!!!!

I'm going to toddle off to bed now. Goodnight Moonie and Summer, sleep well and sweet dreams.

Hug for Ros.

Sweet dreams yogi I hope you sleep well

Goodnight Yogi. Sleep well and have sweet dreams

night lovely yogi

Nite nite Ros and Sweet. Sleep well and have a lovely Sunday. Sweet, don't you be doing a very long walk after being poorly *wag finger*

Sweet dreams both

Good morning, everyone. A chilly and bright start to the day.

No visitors expected, so I might have a lazy, chill out day.

Have a good day, all.

I think that's a very good idea yogi you deserve a rest day

Good morning everyone!
It's a beautiful sunny, blue skies day here but I'm sure the forecast was rain
I'm going to get up and go for a walk while it's nice

Good morning everyone

 

Quite sunny here at present but heavy showers are forecast later this morning for the rest of the day.

 

Summer, I hope you enjoy your walk.

Good morning everyone, we do have blue skies here but it is really cold.  Wrap up for your walk Summer won't you? 

 

I am glad yesterday went well Yogi, and that PB enjoyed her day with you even though she was quieter.

 

I made quite a big step today I think, I saw what I thought was a bit of brown fluff on the carpet and bent down to pick it up but it was a spider, normal size one, and I calmly picked it up and walked over to the window and let it out, it ran about a bit on my hand and I wasn't a bit scared,  I talked to it and said 'come on little one let's let you out', progress I think.

Well done, squiggle, that is a big step

Sometimes the best way to beat an irrational fear is to face it head on. I don't include things like a fear of heights as that is rational. Not a good idea for someone with a fear of heights to walk to the edge of a cliff and look straight down.

 

I'm back from church and so far there's been no showers in my area. It is cloudier though and I think it likely that the showers will start soon.

 

Good afternoon everyone

Very cold with sunshine and showers here. Thankfully not to many showers

See you all later

Well done, Squiggle.

I no longer scream when I see a spider but my heart still races and I start to panic. I don't know where my fear comes from as both my parents don't mind spiders in the least.

It's becoming cloudier up here, too.

Mr Yogi thanks you for your heads up about Destry Rides Again. He likes a good Western and watched it.

 

Hi Moonie, hope your day is going well. See you later.

Yogi, I'm glad Mr Yogi liked Destry Rides Again, it's one of the best Westerns.

 

Tucked away in the television schedules is the 1930 classic All Quiet on the Western Front. (ITV4 00.15 am very early tomorrow morning). This would be showing because of the centenary of the start of WW1 this year. This is the definitive anti-war film and is unusually for an American film told from the viewpoint of the young German recruits in the first World War. This is the Lew Ayres version rather than the lesser remake with Richard Thomas.

Obviously it's as serious a film as has ever been made and the final scene makes the film one of the most powerful and greatest films of all time and one that you will never forget. Why it's being tucked away on ITV4 at midnight when it should be being shown at peak time on BBC1 or ITV1 I don't know.

I'm back it's still a beautiful day here, I ended up walking 10 miles! I bumped in to lots of other dogs & their owners and stopped for an ice cream
The only down side is that Bramble rolled on the very decomposed carcas of something and I had to put up with the stench in the car on the way home I have shampooed her twice and sprayed her.

Yogi I hope you're enjoying a restful day

Squiggle that's brilliant, well done I could catch a spider with a jug & piece of card, but not in my hands

Thanks for your support everyone, it does feel good not to be so scared.  I used to be terrified to be in the same room as a spider.  My hubby used to catch the spiders for me until his stroke and so it's taken me a few years to get to grip with it but the spider catcher helped, it helped me to see them up close in the tube of the catcher and see they weren't really so scary, in fact I could see that they were probably terrified of me.

 

Well done Summer on your walk, dogs do make you laugh, I wonder why these disgusting things smell so nice to them that they want to smell just the same

Hi Buddies, again

 

Hi Yogi My day is going well fankoo That Destry film, is that the one one with James Stewart in?

 

El, hope you are having a good Sunday

 

Sweet, I hope you didn't over do it *take pulse and temperature* 

Yep, you're okay

Oh dear me Bramble, you do manage to get in lot of mischief Serves you right you had to have two baths   But I bet you smell really sweet now

 

Squiggle, well done on being able to catch spiders yourself now

Later friends

 

Moonie, it was the James Stewart Destry Rides Again film. It's a better film than the remake called Destry (starring Audie Murphy). Some people think that Destry Rides Again is a sequel to Destry because of the title but that's not the case.

There was an eatlier version which starred Tom Mix who was the best known star of westerns in the days of silent films.

I like your picture of the dog

 

Summer, I'm glad you had a decent walk even if Bramble did roll in something revolting.

That's a great picture moonie
Bramble didn't look so thrilled as that though
I do feel ok thanks, I was originally aiming for about 3 miles but felt fine and the weather was good so I kept extending my route. After my Ice cream I was alright to go even further

Have you enjoyed the day's sport?

I would have thought the same about the one being a sequel to the other tbh El

I think I have seen the Audie Murphy version too

Now I have heard of Tom Mix but don't ever recall seeing him

 

Its amazing what google can cough up El

Fankoo. I thought it would amuse my friends here

I'm glad you are okay Sweet and that your extended walk went well. Ice cream sure does help

How's Mr Summer today, Sweet?

 

I couldn't get into more than one game today so have been watching various drama series. Mrs Marple, Murdoch mysteries and the Doctor Blake Mysteries

Moonie, apart from seeing clips of Tom Mix's films in documentaries about the history of cinema I can't recall ever seeing any of his films. Back in the 1910s and 1920s in the days of silent films he would have been regarded on the same level in westerns as John Wayne in the talkies. 

Thanks for the info El

I have seen John Wayne in Stagecoach. One of his earliest films. The joys of the various Film Channels
