 I hate to think how many years it is since I read that book.

Maybe I'll get to read it to PB one day.

I'm sure you will Yogi and you will both enjoy it too

We've got sunshine!

My day has been fine fankoo

The weather has been overcast for most of the day but the sun is out now

Yeeeey glad you have sunshine

That's good.

Glad the sun made it to you, in the end.

I must admit, the sun does cheer me up.

My favourite one was the one from Derek Roberts

 I loved the one from Derek and the one about the blinds.

I am hopeless with figures so all of those are my worst nightmare, I loved the Graham Sheedy one - they found a submarine manufacturer who could handle it and the one with the tiny little sign that wouldn't fit through the door   When I was in hospital having our daughter my hubby measured our sun lounge floor for new lino, but forgot that there were 12 inches to a foot not 10 - he went metric too soon.

I wonder how many of us can confuse mm with cm thinking that mm=10cm
