Good morning everyone

 

Fairly cloudy with patches of blue sky here.

 

Skylark, I hope your visit to your friend goes well

 

 

Good morning everyone.

 

It has rained overnight but there are now some patches of blue sky.  *crosses fingers for a dry day*

 

Summer, I did sleep well, thank you, and I hope you did too.

 

I have nothing planned for today, except some housework and cooking.

Have a good day everyone, whatever you are doing.

 

 

The Comet PC World adverts at present use the same piece of music.

Bur do you recognise the music? It's from a film which some of us have seen.

 

If you can't quite place ir, the answer's here:

Good morning, El.

I recognised the music but had to check out the link to find out which film it was.

Yogi, the music to the adverts is an adaptation of the original. It's close enough but there are slight differences.

Good morning everyone, we did have a teeny patch of blue sky but it's just gone, nothing but grey clouds now

 

I watched the Curry's ad and found it so fascinating I forgot to listen to the music I liked Henry and Henrietta skating together, I would never in a million years have put that music together with the link though.

 

Enjoy your visit to your friend Skylark, and enjoy your day everyone

morning all
Overcast but mild here today, Bramble and I are in a car with a group of girls heading for somewhere very special

Glad you slept well yogi

Skylark I hope you have a lovely day with your friend

Oooh, sounds mysterious and exciting! Have a fabulous time.

I bet it's something Christmassy! Yes have a great time and then tell us all about it!

I wonder where Summer and Bramble are going to, very mysterious.  It could be to a Christmas market. I hope she has a nice time

We're all agog now Summer

If any of you are interested, this is a link to the Care Quality Commssion interactive map of the survey of all GP practices in England. The survey has been criticised for being based at this time purely on answers given by the practices to a series of questions rather than any actual inspection done by the commission. 1 is of greatest concern, 6 is the least.

My doctors get a 6 which is what I would have expected.

 

The sun has been shining up here this afternoon so Keira and I have been out for a lovely walk. 

It's been quite pleasant here as well today though fairly cloudy. I'm glad you and Keira had a lovely walk

Thanks El.

 

Aww Squiggle, that's so sweet. 

Isn't it great when children and animals get along so well? 

 

Squiggle, the BBC article on the GP practices survey says that the commission survey covers 7,276 of the 7,661 so yours must be one of the 385 not covered.

 

I love your story of Tilly and your grandson's stepdaughter

Trust me!   Yes it is lovely when children and animals get on so well.  I think it's because Tilly is a bitch, she is probably maternal, it's so sweet and I'm glad you like it too EL.

It's my brother's birthday in a few days time so I got him a birthday card at the weekend and sent it off to him.

The card had a sort of James Bond meerkat on it, my brother watches Atlantis (extremely loosely based on Greek legends), and will be 61. So I wrote a very short story on the inside of the card which sort of connects those. It only took me half an hour so don't expect a masterpiece.

 

In the days of Ancient Greece, one of the Titans played a trick against Zeus by showing humans how to use fire in making sacrtifices to the gods. This angered Zeus so much that he hid fire from the humans.

 

The Titan decided to rebel against Zeus and approached a human. He persuaded the human to go and spy on Zeus and those guarding the fire. The human did so and one night spotted an opportunity to steal the fire. So he cut off a huge fennel stalk and passed it to the Titan. The Titan then went to the fire and stole it by hiding it in the fennel stalk. He passed the stalk to the human who gave it to the other people where he lived. And that is how humans came to get fire.

 

Zeus was enraged when he discovered what had happened. His punishment against the Titan (Prometheus) was too grusesome to go into detail here. The name of Prometheus was immortalised by the naming of the 61st element as Promethium. Promethium is the first element with no stable isotopes so all forms are radioactive.

 

Zeus also punished the human but not in a gruesome way. He transformed him into an animal, a meerkat, the first of his kind.

 

 I like Atlantis and I like the story too, El.

me and dogs are in backroom

we're staring through the window like its christmas eve & we've got no food

Why are you in the backroom? Have you been naughty?

Evening Velvet.

I find it quite a strain driving on country roads at night, so I'm not surprised you are glad to be home.

I know what you mean. You'd think some of them had a death wish.

Off to bed, goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet.

Hugs for Summer, Moonie and Ros.
