It does Yogi. Its flippin daylight robbery on the most vulnerable

It sure is, it's despicable. 

I bet your day has been quiet after PB and youngest son day yesterday Yogi

It was quieter but quite busy too. 

How has your day been?

My day has been okay fankoo
Quiet but loads of washing done before the weather turns tonight/tomorrow morning

I'm glad your day has been good.

We cut the lawns today for the same reason.

It is already cooler and breezier tonight, and it's to get a lot worse at the weekend.

 

I'm starting to wilt, so I shall say goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie.

Leaving a night owl hug for Summer.

 

Its all that gardening that has made you wilt Yogi
Nite nite. Sleep well and have sweet dreams :hug

*night owls*

Sorry I haven't been around, busy day! All good though

Squiggle I have talent envy, I have a sewing machine but lack the skills to make clothes, let alone a wedding gown! I too would like to see the photos, it must have took you hours

Leaving goodnight hugs for everyone

You is a busy gal and always forgiven

Fankoo moonie

Shall we let some giraffes in to the beehive?

I put some in earlier this afternoon if you can look back Sweet

Good morning everyone.

Weather is dry and bright, but rain forecast for later.

Moonie, I love that advert.

Housework this morning and getting my hair cut in the afternoon. What an exciting life I lead!

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here, forecast is dry until evening.

 

The Church of England is trying to promote local credit unions as a means of combatting the excesses of payday loan companies. The Centre for Social Justice (a think tank) has similar ideas:

Moonie, I like that advert. The music is of course the theme music for Murder She Wrote (written by John Addison).

I got around to watching To Kill a Mockingbird last night. Great film and Gregory Peck was as good as I would expect. For me, what made this film stand out was Mary Badham (9 or 10 at the time) as Scout, Atticus's daughter who gave a wonderfully natural performance.

I agree EL, the acting in that film was superb, Mary Badham was memorable as Scout but I really can't think of a bad performance.

 

A nice morning but rain due tomorrow and all over the weekend I think.

 

We are in synch again Yogi, I am having my hair cut this morning

 

As promised here's the wedding dress.  I will try and scan a close-up of the bodice later so you can see the lace detail.

 

Squiggle, that looks like a great wedding dress

Morning everyone
Its sunny but all that is set to end by this afternoon

Hope it is or will be better where you are

 

Yogi, love those little fluff ball pups I'm sure the housework will fly by knowing you are gonna have your hair done later

 

El, I never knew about that music, am always to busy looking at the pups and the bikkies of course Classic film and a classy performance from Gregory Peck too

 

Squiggle, the wedding dress is so beautiful. You are so clever to have done such a brilliant job of making it

 

Sweet, have a great day and don't work to hard today *wags finger*

 

Laters lovely friends

Moonie, this clip is a longer version of the Murder She Wrote theme (the first 40 seconds is what is usually heard):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDbMD4LiBJk

 

And for those of you who like coincidences. That clip shows pictures from the series, mainly of Angela Lansbury. The only other person shown is William Windom who was a regular in Murder she Wrote.

Although he did mainly television work he also appeared in films. His film debut was as the prosecutor in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Good noon everyone!

Aaaw that advert it so adorable thanks for sharing it Moonie. Digestives are one of my favourite biscuits too I wonder if I'll get a puppy come out of my next packet *crosses fingers*

Squiggle that dress is stunning, and I get even more so close up! You've done an amazing job

Squiggle, the dress looks beautiful. What a talent to make something so lovely. I hope you are able to upload a pic of the bodice, I'd love to see it.

 

We are indeed in synch with our haircuts, shall we do a synchronised twirl when I get back?

 

Eldest son has popped in for a visit. Catch up later.

Great film, and Gregory Peck was a brilliant actor.

The best laid plans, I can't join you in a twirl Yogi, my car wouldn't start.  The passenger door must have been just a little unsecured, enough for the light to be on and the power to drain away.  The AA guy soon sorted it and I have made another appointment for next week.  I look forward to your twirl though

 

Here are 2 further pics of the details of the dress.  I am so glad you all like it, I am obviously very proud of it and can't believe I did it now.

 

 

 

Edit to add:  My daughter is only 5'2" so to get a dress that was just the right length from a shop would have been difficult.  Sometimes if they alter a dress it alters the look of it.

Back again

Sweet, I knew you would like that ad You never know about your next packet and what it will bring

 

Yogi, enjoy your eldest sons visit and look forward to the "synchronised twirl" when you return

 

Squiggle, no twirl today? Glad the car is sorted now
That bodice is beautiful. You are clever

Washing all dried and still no rain but it is looking ominous

 

Back later

Squiggle, I'm glad your car was able to be sorted out quickly

The wedding dress looks even better close up

For those of you you have a sweet tooth, you may want to see a new series staring tonight on BBC2 at 8.30 called Sweets made simple,

Extract from it to show what it's like - how to make raspverry marshmallows:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pZbP4UTITE

 

Sounds delicious EL, I would love to try some raspberry marshmallows, yum.  Thanks about the car (and the wedding dress too of course ) it must have been my friend when I gave her a lift after church.  I must remember to check every door when I park my car.

Squiggle, on my car, if one of the doors isn't quite shut when I try to lock the doors they don't lock and I hear that,(It's central locking)  It's useful as it reduces the risk of the passenger light coming on and draining the battery.

The advantages of a more modern car EL oh well I will just have to be vigilant.

Squiggle, it is really beautiful. What a special thing to make for your daughter - a real labour of love. 

It really was Yogi, every stitch was sewn with love.  She adores her dress

Thanks El, I've set the V+ to record it.

 

What a shame about your car, Squiggle, but I'm glad the AA man was able to sort it quickly and you were able to make another hairdresser's appointment.

 

My hairdresser goes to my parents' house and I go over there to get my hair cut. Eldest son went with me and was able to put up a new shower screen for my mum and dad. They were very pleased to get a surprise visit from him and delighted when he offered to fit the shower screen for them.

*twirls*

 

I'm sure it was, and that's what made it even more special. No wonder she adores her dress, it's gorgeous.

Thanks Velvet Your hair looks gawjuss Yogi
