They would be 'very scared' of Bazzy

Nite nite Sweet. Sleep well and stay safe tomorrow. Happy Easter Sunday to you too. Sweet dreams

Happy Easter everyone

 

Very cloudy here, dry at present but forecast to rain by noon for a time, then hesvy showers later.

 

Moonie. I hope the boiler leak and ceiling get sorted fast.

 

Good morning everyone, it's going to rain later too, I wonder whether I will beat the showers and get home from church before they start, I think I will take an umbrella to be on the safe side.

 

Awful news moonie, I hope you can get it all fixed very soon.  Why do these things always happen on a Bank Holiday weekend?

 

Enjoy your Easter Eggs everyone, and have a great Easter Day.

 

EL I think you especially will be interested in this

Has anyone with an iPhone or Android phone discovered QuizUp yet?  I downloaded it yesterday and it is addictive!  Loads of quiz subjects played against people from all around the world.  Each time just 7 questions, quite a quick pace and such fun.  I've just scratched the surface but there are quiz questions on anything and everything.  I really recommend it, it seems to be completely free.  You can also play with friends through FB etc.

Good morning, everyone.

The sun is shining but still chilly.

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter. 

 

 

 

Squiggle, thanks re the British Pathé news. For anyone interested in what life was like in Britain between 1896 and 1976, world events, etc that is a huge wealth of video material to look at. I think that teachers will also find it invaluable.

Good afternoon everyone

Happy Easter Sunday friends

In case you are suffering from a lack of Easter eggs, here's one for you. I think it's big enough.

Wow, that egg is huge!

Middle son and DiL, and youngest son and his GF, heard that were were having a PB visit today, so they came to visit too. Everyone has gone home now and the dishwasher is stacked, so I'm going to settle down and watch Endeavour before bed.

I hope everyone has had a good Easter.

Goodnight and sweet dreams to Summer, Moonie and Ros.

Evening

Happy Easter my lovely friends I hope you've had a lovely day

We've had a wonderful day out walking, the weather was very good (but windy at times) and we're now laying on the sofas waiting for a pizza delivery

Yogi I hope you enjoy your early night and that you've all enjoyed Easter with PB

Squiggle, I'm about to go check out that quiz app

Moonie I hope your boiler hasn't caused problems today

*might leave some for everyone else*

Sounds like you had a lovely day with the family Yogi and a PB visit too Did she have some Easter eggs and if she did, did she like them?

 

Enjoy Endeavour. I have set it to record

Nite nite. Sleep well later and have sweet dreams

Evening Sweet
A happy Easter to you too

I'm really glad you had a nice time walking today and that the weather was good too Did Bramble go with you?

The boiler has been okay, just no heat or hot water

What variety of pizza are you having?

no heat or hot water?
They surely have to get out to see to it within 24 hours?!

Bramble did, she did great she's now asleep bless her

I'm having a Toscana pizza- pepperoni & mushrooms
I don't often order pizza, but I can't wait to scoff it tonight

Have you had an Easter egg?

They have been out Sweet, three times, different departments but they have to order a part which they cant do until the council are back at work on Tuesday

Awww glad she enjoyed herself

*listens to snores*

Tbh I didn't fancy choccie today Sweet

I'm gonna head off for today Sweet. Enjoy your pizza. Glad you made it back safely from your walk

Nite nite. Sleep well and have sweet dreams

Sorry moonie, I ran off to see the delivery in. Pizza was alright but nothing special- I should have gone with curry!

I can't believe you're stuck without heating, do you have a little electric fan heater?
Wrap up in lots of blankies, I hope you soo warm up

Good morning everyone

 

A sunny morning here but goes downhill this afternoon with a high risk of heavy showers.

 

The huge Easter egg was specially made to be auctioned off to raise money for charity.

 

Good morning, everyone.

Weather is cloudy atm, and is meant to brighten up later.

El, I hope the giant egg raised lots of money for the charity.

For the third day in a row, I will attempt to go to the garden centre. With a bit of luck, I might actually get there today.

Squiggle, have you planted out the shrubs you bought recently or are you still trying to decide the best positions for them?

Moonie, will the engineers be back today to fix your boiler or will you have to wait until tomorrow?

Summer, I'm glad you enjoyed your walk yesterday and hope your muscles aren't aching too much today.

Have a good day, everyone.

 

 

Yogi, that huge Easter egg was a couple of years ago. I don't know how much was raised but they were hoping to beat the previous year when they raised £350 for the egg which cost around £100.

 

Good morning everyone.

 

Yogi I am keeping the shrubs watered every day and busy planning the best locations but it is my gardener who will actually plant them.  The slope is very steep and I can't even get down there and my grandson doesn't have the necessary expertise to be able to plant them.  He will prepare the ground with the manure and compost though, leaving the gardener to finish off and mulch with the remaining rose, tree and shrub compost or manure or maybe a mix of both.  I hope you manage to get to the garden centre today.

 

Have a good day everyone

Good morning
I'm having a nice long lay in I have a little muscle ache but am not too bad all in all thank you

Moonie I hope you're alright, I worry about you being cold

Yogi I hope you get to the garden centre at last

Squiggle I hope you have a relaxing day ahead

El, I hope you can enjoy your food again now and have something tasty to treat yourself to today

That sounds like good team work. I'm sure they will look lovely once they are in position.

I'm going to head off to the garden centre soon.

I hope you have a relaxing day planned and give your muscles a rest.

Summer, I started on that chocolate cake yesterday evening and it's good. It's intended for 6 slices and I'm sure that I will have it in 6 slices.

(not all at the same time )

 

That's okay Sweet I'm sorry I did too

I was like a bit of toast under me duvet

 

Hi Yogi Nope, the engineers can't order the part until Tuesday because that's when the council are back at work

The various people that have been are 'emergency call outs'

My guess is minimum Wednesday but probably later. I shall be on to them tomorrow to 'shake them up'

Awww fanks Sweet

I was okay under me duvet and it seems a little warmer here today

I'm glad you were warm last night moonie, thank goodness for duvets!
Several years ago we had a boiler breakdown and we were living in a cold, damp house. I lit as many tea light candles as I could fit on the coffee table & other surfaces and shut all the doors, it's surprising how much they warmed the room up after a while!

I'm watching the king and I it's been a long time since I last saw it and can't even remember how it ends

El, I'm very glad you're enjoying that cake

Fankoo and yes indeed what would we do without all those feathers

yeah that's a good idea Sweet

 

Awww, I hope you are enjoying the film

The film The Artist starring Uggie is being shown next Sunday the 29th on BBC2 at 9 pm (unless the snooker messes up the schedule).

Essential viewing if you haven't yet seen it and worth seeing again if you have.

(I have it on DVD so can watch it whenever I want)

 

Yaaaay!!!!! I love that movie and don't have it on DVD

Squiggle, I am officially rubbish at general knowledge! But not too bad at Disney trivia

Spur of the moment change of plan- sofa day has ended and we're heading out to SIL's to meet the puppies and go for dinner

Have a lovely afternoon all and sweet dreams to any who turn in before I get back

Have a lovely time at your SiL's. I have puppy envy!

 

Moonie, I think a phone call to the council to "shake them up" is a very good idea. Stay warm under your duvet until it's all sorted.

 

El, thanks for the heads up, I shall record The Artist.

 

I finally managed to get to the garden centre. It was incredibly busy, so I got what I wanted and left. No time for browsing, which meant I probably saved myself some money. I have dug over the raised bed and added some new compost. Hopefully, it won't be too long before I can start planting in it.

I haven't tried Disney trivia, I think I was fairly rubbish at general knowledge too.  I have done Harry Potter, grammar, spelling, Discworld - which I am hopeless at but it's fun, I had a go at History, there are so many to choose from and if you come up against an opponent you are equally matched with they often request a rematch.  Great fun.  Enjoy your outing.  I haven't seen the King and I for ages, I like the Deborah Kerr one.  I've been watching Rome Adventure which I have on DVD - very good I enjoyed it.

Thunderstorm and torrential rain here at present 

It's very close
