Eldest son has a bit of a watch fetish but I can't see him buying that one.

Thats some watch and some money 
Be careful with the mallet Yogi !
Enjoy the jumper Summer. Prob says no washing because of the mechanism . You can always freshen it up with sprays..not that i am suggesting you are smelly 
Talking about time. Just had a talk with the dog Kia. She still not getting it the clocks went back and demanding her dinner at the wrong time. My son talking to her now 

 Keira was the same for a couple of days, but she seems to have got with the programme now.

Someone I know used to have a cat who could read the time. The cat would wake her up in the morning at the same time to be let out and when the clocks went back or forwards an hour, the cat would adjust for that hour 

 

Clever cat EL Some years I have more trouble adjusting than others, no idea why.

Says nothing  
Hi hope you well. 


Kia an old lady now, and losing the plot ! I do think she is the boss in this house though 

Off to settle down and watch The Missing (if I can stay awake!).

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.

Hugs for the night owls.

Off too. Goodnight all. Hope you all sleep well, and have nice dreams. Got my hot water bottle filled! Not out clubbing tonight 

Oh how dissapointing skylark, I was sure you'd be out on the town tonight stay warm & cosy, I hope you sleep well

Night yogi hope you enjoyed the missing, and sleep a lot better tonight

Leaving goodnight hugs for all

aw summer love the owl

night yogi summer skylark

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather looks dreary again today.

 

I fell asleep around 9.30pm and woke at 5.30am, so I had a better night's sleep. I need to go off and catch up with the second half of The Missing.

 

Summer, that little owl is so sweet!

 

Have a good day everyone.

 

 

Good morning everyone

 

Rained here through the night, not raining at this time but heavy cloud indicates more rain to come.

 

I got a phone call yesterday from the dentists asking me if I could go in for my scale & polish this morning instead of in 2 weeks time. So I'll be of there in a while. I've mentioned before that my dentist is Polish and I have 2 clients who are also Polish dentists. One of those clients told me last week that my dentist had returned to Poland a couple of weeks ago. So when the surgery rang me yesterday I asked about that and was told that my dentist was srill there

Good morning everyone, I am glad you had a better night's sleep Yogi. Hope all goes well at the dentist EL, do they know already that you don't need any other treatment? Brilliant! My dentist is Hungarian, he has also qualified as a doctor and he says that in order to become a dentist in Hungary you first need to qualify as a doctor, wow that does seem impressive and he does appear very knowledgeable.  He always checks the lymph glands in your neck when he does your check-up, which is reassuring.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

 

^ wow!!!! That pic could be my life lol
What a great shot

Morning all I slept so heavy it was outrageous, luckily bramble was lively this morning so that forced me to just get up and walk her. We got rained on, but it felt good
I've showered her and then cleaned the bathroom

 It's a great pic, isn't it?

 

I'm holding off for a dry spell before I take Keira out. Her coat takes hours to dry naturally and she hates the hairdryer, so I try to avoid walks in the rain at all costs.

Hope all goes well at the dentist, El.

Squiggle, all went well with the scaling at the dentist. There's no other treatment in the pipeline at present, just the routine checkup in January. The dental hygienist had changed and the new one said that as there's no staining on my teeth, there's little point in the polish as that will just go as soon as I brush my teeth again. I am using an electric toothbrush which is more vigorous than an ordinary brush.

Both of the dentists at my surgery call themselves Dr and have BDS degrees. This is common in this country but the Advertising Standards Authority did express concern that the use of Dr could be misleading though the dental bodies disagree with that, In any case my dentist did check my lymph glands last time so is like yours.

You will want to see the winning portrait photo of the Taylor Wessing prize.

It's easy to see why it won and it's a stunner.

 Afternoon everyone. thanks for the link to photo El, i read about it this morning on Teletext so wanted to see it. Its so lovely, a worthy winner. 
Got a bit of a busy day so will try to pop in later if not tomorrow. Have a good one 

What a lovely pic.

Have a good day, Skylark. Hope to see you later.

I use an electric toothbrush too EL, on the recommendation of a hygienist at my former dentist.  What a difference it made, I was well on the way to gum disease and now my dentist always tells me I have excellent gums.  I am glad there's nothing to do until January, such good news.

Skylark, I hope your day isn't too busy

Thank you squiggle

Besides using an electric toothbrush I also use Tepe inderdental sticks. The hygienist recommended that I switch from blue 0.6mm ones to yellow 0.7mm ones. There's less plaque now than there used to be which means that the gap between teeth is a bit bigger, hence the yellow ones should now be more effective.

 Afternoon Velvet.

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.

Hugs for the night owls.

*night owls*
Thanks yogi, sweet dreams

I too use an electric toothbrush now, they really are very good. I floss too each night but have stopped using mouthwash/ my new dentist said its counterproductive after brushing

Lovely picture El, it made me smile
I love dogs!

Hope you all sleep well sweet dreams

night yogi and summer

Good morning everyone.

 

Sky looks grey and threatening. Anticipating another rainy day.

 

I slept well last night but must have been lying awkwardly as my neck is aching and I have a bouncing sore head. I've taken a couple of parecetamol and had a cup of tea so hopefully the headache will shift.

 

Grocery shopping planned for later. No cakes as I'm being good atm.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy but dry here, rain forecast during the day.

 

Yogi, I hope your headache goes quickly

 

Good morning everyone, really threatening grey clouds this morning, but the good news is that it is forecast to be the last wet day for a little while, over the weekend anyway

 

Sorry to hear you slept awkwardly Yogi, I sleep with a neck support pillow, I have done for the last 30 years or so and it keeps my head in the correct position.  I hope your neck pain eases and the paracetamol kick in soon.

 

I also use the Teepee brushes, yellow and pink for me 0.7 and 0.4 but I also use the floss, it's the little bits of food stuck between the teeth that can cause such awful pain, such a relief when you get them out again.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

I love this - aww!

 

And this

 

Great clip, squiggle

It reminded me that the other day on the BBC red button I read about film having been found of the world's first bungee jump.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-29819029

It was from the Clifton Suspension Bridge on 1 April 1979.

Powerful and moving and really happened:
