Mere amateurs, I have been to the tip and disposed of my old boiler, so there

Loving this story It's the look on the bear's face.

Crikey you lot are such a bad influence on me

I've got my 5th load of washing in the machine, I've emptied the bins and changed the bedding. I've done a workout DVD and had a shower!
Now I'm enjoying a bite to eat before I head out for a walk

Welcome back moonie!

I used to enjoy it but felt the last series had gone "off the boil", so I'm not upset that it is being rested.

 

You are a busy girl, Summer. Enjoy your walk.

Fankoo El
El, you, I and Yogi know how to live life on the edge

That is indeed trumping us all Squiggle

Glad you finally managed to dispose of it

 Indeed we do.

That's not fair having crammed so much into such a short time Sweet but well done brilliant I hope you enjoyed your snack and walk too

Interesting article in today's local newspaper:

http://www.gloucestercitizen.c...08-detail/story.html

 

The house which is becoming a centre for vulnerable war veterans is being run by a Christian charity called Alabare. The house is just down the road from my church so it's likely that those in the centre who wish to will come to the church. It's sad there there have been some local residents who have complained about this, not that I've heard anything at church.

 

I have done me shopping. I decided to put me wet weather gear on. Good decision

 

 

For my forum friends

 

I agree that it's sad that there have been some objections, and hope the war veterans get the help they need.

Thanks for the scones Moonie

 

Thanks Moonie, I love scones. 

I can't bake them though, they always turn out like biscuits.

Welcome El

Pretty damn sad about the veterans

Welcome Yogi
My niece bakes a great scone I have never tried

Some of those complaining about the centre have said that it's unsuitable as a school is near by (that's in a different article to my linked one). That's true but why should war veterans be seen as a risk to children (the centre will house 8 veterans who will be selected as to suitability and is not immediatley next to or opposite the school).

 

There's no accounting for the way some people think, El.

If the veterans were considered a risk to anyone, they wouldn't be deemed suitable residents for the centre.

The objections smack of a "not in my back yard" attitude.

We all owe a huge debt to anyone who has fought on our behalf.  As you say it is sad that some sad people could object to this centre.

I don't watch that Penny Dreadful television series where there's a thread on this forum but I was wondering if any of you can work out the connection between that and this old television advert:

The connection is fairly obscure and may require a bit of detective work but see if you can work it out. Well done to anyone who can work it out and you would do well on Only Connect.

 

Evening

Ooh scones! Yummy, thanks moonie

I've just had a lovely relaxing lavender bath
We walked for 2 hours and then skyped my mum- we're very excited about our holiday. We'll be there this time next week!

I think objections to helping veterans is appalling, their presence should be a good reason to teach the local children about them if anything! I hope they will be well looked after

Squiggle I'm glad you got rid of the boiler and yogi I'm glad you're feeling better

Not long until your holiday now, I'm not surprised you are getting excited.

I've also had a relaxing lavender bath - bliss!

How's your tummy tonight?

I bet we both smell lovely tonight lol

My tummy is a lot more settled tonight, thanks.

lol I'm sure we do smell lovely.

How is Bramble? Not eating anything dodgy recently, I hope?

El, I haven't got a clue. The guy in the ad is Clement Freud and I know he was the grandson of Sigmund Freud, so is the link something to do with him?

 

Bramble is fine thanks yogi, on top form lately. This morning she tricked me into thinking she needed to go outside and then when my back was turned she climbed into my bed and onto my pillow!

How's Kiera?
What are you watching tonight?

 She's a tricky minx!

Keira is doing fine. 

 

I'm watching a repeat of Lewis on ITV3. What are you watching?

I couldn't believe it! I soon sat on, I mean, er, moved her along

And how's PB this week?

I'm watching Pocahontas! She's my favourite Disney princess. I haven't seen it for years and I recorded it the other day

 So long as you didn't squash her.

 

PB is coming tomorrow. She is going to 'drive' the trolley in Morrisons for me.

I am looking forward to watching all the Disney films again when PB is older.

 

Ditto

Can you remember whodunnit? I can, but I don't care cos I lubs Lewis and Hathaway.

Yeeeeeeeeey! A PB day

It's cuddddddddddddddddles time

I hope she has passed her supermarket trolley test. They can be really tricky to drive

Lol oh very gently, just enough to convince her to move

Oh fab, is she a happy driver?

Nope, I am an 'airhead' when it comes to remembering whodunit

 She is a very good driver, although she has quite a unique style. She likes to swing her legs about - a bit like when you are swimming and doing the breast stroke.

 I won't spoil it for you then, my lips are sealed.

a typical woman driver then Yogi? *runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns very very fast indeed*

TBH its doesn't bother me. I will still watch
