Awww

Nope, not that I can remember Sweet

I tend to break little things Sweet, like cups, saucers and plates

Good ah yes, little things are easy to break, I may have broken a few this year already

I have broken a LOT

Haha! Better than breaking your arm

Touch wood I have never broken a bone Sweet *knows this tempting fate*

*touches wood* I hope you never do

Same here though, I've only ever broken my nail

Not to bad then

I had better get some sleep moonie, I hope you sleep well tonight sweet dreams

Leaving hugs for our absent friend

Nite nite Sweet. Sleep well and fankoo. Sweet dreams

Good morning everyone

 

It was raining here when I went to bed but it's dry now, just 100% cloud cover.

 

I hope squiggle hasn't melted away during the night.

 

I'm off to see a client and will be back later.

My brother is due to arrive here this afternoon for a weekend visit. I wonder what cakes he'll bring with him this time

Good morning everyone, no I haven't melted away, I have managed to get to grips with it.  It does feel funny getting used to a new method.  When you've been out and turned the boiler off then you know it is going to get cooler but I kept glancing anxiously at the thermostat.  I definitely don't like being too warm, it gives me a headache.

 

Is it muggy where you all are?  It's ever so heavy here, thick blanket of grey cloud.

 

I have changed the sheets and got them on to wash, done a bit of hoovering and washed the utility room floor.

 

I loved reading your catalogue of disasters Summer, it's not just me then.  I once broke the glass in a small glass tabletop when I was a child.  My sister used to iron on it so I thought I would too but I must have put the iron on it too hot, my parents were furious and so was my sister

 

Have a lovely weekend with your brother EL, I wonder what lovely cake he is bringing.

 

I hope your weather is better than mine everyone, enjoy your day

Good morning everyone. Weather is dry and cloudy. 

lol Summer at your 'accidents'. I can be quite clumsy with small things like cups and glasses but Mr Yogi is the one who breaks big things - like putting his foot through the bedroom ceiling when he was up in the loft, and bursting a water pipe when he tried to fix a squeaky floorboard.

Squiggle, I'm glad you have been able to sort out the temperature issues. Being too warm can be as bad as being too cold.

Off out with hubby and youngest son, catch up with everyone later.

Morning Buddies

El, good luck with the client. I hope you have a good weekend with your brother. Don't forget you have friends in here, re the cake

 

Squiggle, you have had a busy morning all ready It looks like we aren't gonna get sunshine again today but I would settle for dry Glad to see you haven't melted away

 

Yogi, @ the attempted floorboard fixing and ensuing disaster Have a lovely time with your hubby and youngest

 

Sweet, I hope everything is okay with you

I'm back from my client, as straightforward tax as any client I have, and very unlikely to ever have problems with them.

 

Squiggle, I'm glad you've sorted out the heating controls My area is similar to yours, muggy with leaden skies. The only difference from yesterday which was worse is that it's dry today.

a news update this morning:

That's good news indeed El

Sorry El, I missed this post this morning. I hope you have a lovely weekend with your brother, and enjoy the cakes.

I wonder if my brother will bring this with him today:

It may look like a Louis Vuitton trunk but really is a cake though at £4,200 it's a bit expensive.

 

 

 What a fabulous cake!

But how could you cut into it, it's a work of art.

I agree with you, Squiggle. It's far too nice to cut into.

You can see more of Karen Portaleo's work on this Telegraph gallery of 12 images including that trunk. They are works of art but many would be really put off by the ones which look like real dogs but are cakes.

My brother has just arrived with

and

so I'm letting him stay in the house rather than the shed in my garden

 He definitely deserves to stay in the house.

I could

 

Did someone mention cake?!

Wow those professional cakes are exquisite, what an exceptionally talented lady
I could eat the dog cakes, they may look real but they're cake, and cake is made to be eaten!

El I hope you have a lovely weekend with your brother, I would choose the chocolate cakes

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow, I eat as much as I want on Saturdays!

I hope you've all had a lovely day and squiggle, I'm very glad you're getting the hang of the new thermostat

Yogi, did you go somewhere nice?

Moonie, everything is fine with me thank you, just a busy day at work, again.
I hope you have had a nice day?

Hi Summer.

We didn't go anywhere exciting, just went to Costco to stock up the freezer.

Son came home with us and we had tea and cakes.

 

Hi Sweet

Glad you are okay My day has been good fankoo

Tea and cakes to celebrate a freezer full of goodies is good enough for me yogi how was your son?

Moonie, are you watching the football?

Hi here too Sweet

I am indeed Sweet

 Son was good, thanks. He has been working hard, so intends to have a relaxing weekend.

 

Has Mr Summer fully recovered from his migraine and has Bramble's tummy settled down?

Keira was sick after eating her breakfast this morning. No doubt she had eaten something she shouldn't have, when she was wandering about in the garden first thing in the morning. Silly dog!

 I don't believe it! 

Bramble first and now Keira

I know, shocking int it?

They never learn do they yogi bramble is fine thank you and mr summer isn't quite 100% but he's a lot better today thank you
What's for tea tomorrow? I love having choices!

Has anyone scored yet moonie? I took one glance at Rooney and switched over

 I'm still stunned.
