Hi Velvet, I'm really chuffed that the blow ups turned out well. I'm sure the boss and your sis will love them.

 

A bit of a pain for my son and DiL, but I guess nobody is in control of the weather so nobody to blame.

El, I did wonder why yours was so expensive but yes that'll explain it. Mine was £190 fully comp, so I was surprised yours costs more. Mine is commuting to one place of work rather than covering house to elude work, which I don't do

Yogi I hope they're in the air right now and very excited

I'm turning in now so leaving goodnight hugs for everyone sleep well lovely friends

night everybody - thank you squiggle night summer

Apologies everyone, for conking out and not saying goodnight.

I am now awake at stupid o'clock - oh well, at least I get to see the hamster out and about, since the middle of the night seems to be his play time.

Good morning everyone

 

Wet and windy here, should then dry up for a time before the weather turns wet and windy this evening and overnight. But it's not expected to be as bad as the storm yesterday into today up north.

 

Yogi, I hope you were able to drift off to sleep again

 

Summer, not only do I travel to lots of clients but I also have their financial papers with me in the car so that has the effect on the cost of the insurance.

Good morning all! it's snowing here!

Good morning everyone.

 

We had another thunder and lightning storm after my last post, and then a snow shower. The snow is melting though and it's still quite windy.

 

El, I didn't manage to get back to sleep but I did manage to catch up on some programmes I'd recorded.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Is there enough to build a ? 

That a a big responsibility el, But I know you're a cautious person so your clients I do is safe in your hands

Yogi, no I'm afraid not but im enjoying watching it fall

Yogi, hopefully you'll catch up on your sleep tonight

 

Summer, enjoy the snow whilst it lasts

Summer, I've even driven clients places in my car (though rarely).

For those of you who watch detective stories on television, you might be interested to hear that the BBC will be making a series based on Robert Galbraith's books featuring Cormoran Strike.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-30409174

It's a coup for the BBC as there will be world wide interest in the series.

Good morning everyone, really heavy showers here and still so windy.

 

I hadn't thought of that EL, that's quite a responsibility.

 

Hug for Yogi still I always think the bonus of being awake so early is I will sleep like a log the next night, I hope it works that way for you.

 

Hurrah for Summer >>>>>>>>

 

Enjoy your day everyone

You know how much I love my detective and crime dramas, and I've read Cormoran Strike and really enjoyed it, so I'm pleased with this news.

Thank Squiggle, that's what I'm hoping.

Squiggle, one of the managers in the firm I used to work for left one of the firm's client files on the train by accident. I don't know what happened but it was embarassing for him.

 

Another manager had a computer with her in London. She was on a tube platform waiting and had put the computer on the ground. A man came along and walked off with the computer. She followed the man, caught up with him and said "you've got my computer" and, luckily for her, he handed the computer back.

 

Afternoon all. Braved the wind and sleet to go grocery shopping.

 

My stupid cold has reached the streaming nose stage now and Mr Yogi says I look like Rudolph.

Major roadworks announced for Huntley on the A40 in Gloucestershire for 16 weeks with the A40 being closed in the area.

http://www.gloucestercitizen.c...47-detail/story.html

There is a diversion route in place. I know the area well enough to know that journey times will be substantially increased.

 

I do have a couple of clients who live in the area and this will cause them massive incovnvenience and some loss if income. It's unlikely to cause me problems as I generally don't visit them until the summer months.

 

The A40 is the road between Gloucester and Ross on Wye. I suspect some people will go from Gloucester on the B4215 Newent road, carry on the road past Newent where it becomes the B4221, past Kilcot and Gorsley, until it joins the M50 at junction 3 and then down the M50 to Ross. That doesn't help the people in Huntley though.

 

Poor you At least it will have gone before Christmas.

 

 Afternoon Velvet.

Hope you are nice and cosy now, after your walk with the dog.

Sorry El, I missed this post earlier. Thank you, I'm sure it is coming to an end now and I'll be fine - apart from my red nose!

 Everyone.
Weather here been awful, but the west and north have had it worse i read. We had thunder too yesterday 
I like the translation skills there Yogi , hope you get over the rotten cold soon x
Saw the Radio Times Christmas issue today, didnt buy it but not getting the cover??...

Hi Skylark. I hope you are feeling better now.

The weather sure has been horrible over the last few days!

What's that Radio Times cover all about? Doesn't have a proper Christmas feel at all.

 

Yes feel a bit brighter and happier now, due mostly to some lovely friends here 

 I'm glad to hear it. 

Is granddaughter getting excited about Monday's Nativity?

That's good and you have the Nativity to look forward to.  I love Nativity plays, we have the church one on Sunday.  I wonder whether the mum of 4 whose children are just the right ages to be in it will be tempted to include her brand new baby boy, born just a few days ago.

 

Yogi I am sure the cold will clear up quickly now, it's miserably when you get to the runny nose stage.  As EL says hopefully it will be over by Christmas for both you and Mr. Yogi.

Yes she is, but getting stressed about her friend, who cannot speak English well , so she getting her sorted out. A wee Polish girl who GD has taken her under her wing. GD getting worried she wont be understood. Told her not to worry , she will be will be fine. Bless her x

Skylark, I'm glad you are feeling better and brighter now 

On page 61 of the Radio Times it says that Judith Kerr was approached to do the cover for the Christmas edition. In her words her reaction was "Panic~! I couldn't think what to do. Eventually I said 'what about a child holding a cat'"

And that's what she painted.

She's known for "The Tiger who came to tea" and the Mog books.

Aww, how sweet and kind hearted of her.

But why?!!

Off to get some tea. Will be back later, so long as I don't conk out again.

Ah yes, totally get it now. I get the cover now,rather refreshing  x

Aw hope you do. Sleep is a good natural medicine  Remember to drink lots of water tho!! 

 I've been drinking plenty of water and I'm having some orange and mango fruit juice atm.

Good ! x 
Away to bed with Scooby Doo DVD, and hot water bottle ! 
In the real world i may have patience for Belle Dingle, but in soap land i do not 
Cant take anymore of this storyline 
Nite all, sleep well, 

lol I've got Paul O'Grady's For The Love Of Dogs and a hot water bottle.

Agree with you about the Belle Dingle storyline.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Skylark.

Going to have an early night, goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.

Hugs for the lovely night owls.
