Good morning everyone, I'm making the most of another lovely morning because tomorrow the rain starts again in earnest.

 

Well done Summer that pancake party sounds lovely.  I just caught the end of The One Show yesterday and it must have been Julie Walters birthday and they presented her with a pancake cake!

 

I hope it's a lovely sunshiney PB day whatever the weather brings PB will bring the sunshine with her

 

Enjoy your day everyone, off to get new tyres and windscreen wipers

And here is that pancake cake (though her birthday isn't until the 22nd)

 

A man has been sent for trial for speeding on the A40 bypass between Gloucester and Cheltenham. He was being chased by police and drove up side then came back on the other side. Clocked at 120 mph That's a road I use many times but not on that day.

 

It makes me wonder how they think they could possibly evade the police these days! That's a definite driving ban isn't it

That cake looks amazing
What was between the pancake layers?

Summer, I think the fact that the magistrates decided to send the man for trial suggests that if found guilty he could be looking at a prison sentence. Presumably he's charged with dangerous driving rather then just speeding.

 

The One Show didn't go into any details about the pancake cake, It was brought on right at the end and we didn't get to see it being cut,

What a terrible driver, he could have killed someone. And what about this for a selfish driver, this poor woman had to wait half an hour for the driver to come back, she couldn't get into her car

 

Squiggle, that's very selfish of that driver. This is a link to the news story:

By the way, I've now found the national insurance act which brought in the changes to the way class 2 is to be collected. It only became law a few days ago. It confirms that the contributions will cease when people get to state retirement age so I've let my client know,

 

 

Incredibly selfish parking!

Evening all

Crikey that parking is terrible, how on earth did they not scratch?

I'm glad you found clarification El I'm sure your client will appreciate knowing where he stands

Where's Moonie lately?

Hi Summer.

 

I don't know where Moonie is. Perhaps he's having a break?

Velvet has been missing for a while now too.

Hi yogi how was PB today?

Didn't velvet say he was having a wee break? I hope they're both alright and back soon

Your ears must have been burning
Sound busy but good stuff velvet

Sorry peeps I'm going to nod off in about 20 seconds
Sweet dreams

Hi Velvet.

 

I'm glad all is well and you've been out and about with your sis. Belated Happy Birthday to your sis and the same to your mum next week.

I had a lovely day with PB.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer.

Watching or playing?

 

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet.

Ros, if you pop in, I hope you are enjoying your half term hols.

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is dry with grey sky and quite windy.

 

Grocery shopping today. I'm not responsible, if some cakes jump into my trolley when I'm not looking.

 

A little PB story for you.

When I was reading Fireman Sam stories, for the twentieth time yesterday, I stopped reading the whole story and gave the potted version. PB gave me a look which said 'I know what you're doing', pointed to the words and said, "Granny! Read it!!". Only 22 months old and nobody is going to pull the wool over her eyes.

 

Have a good day everyone.

 

 

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here, not raining yet but it's forecast to start in the next couple of hours and is expected to continue for much of the day,

 

Yogi, those jumping cakes are a hazard . at PB catching you out.

 

lol Yes, there should be warning signs about those jumping cakes, El.

PB is a clever cookie!

 Everyone.
Hope you all well. 

Aww PB , that was you told, Yogi 
Havent got GD today, Nanas turn, so off to meet sister for breakfast, have a bit time to myself. I may pop in to Tesco, see if they have any of those jumping cakes 
Have a good day all 

Good morning everyone, rain rain rain but it's still looking very pretty outside my window and I know that spring is just around the corner.

 

I too fell victim to the jumping cakes in M&S whilst getting new tyres and wipers, lemon muffins and chocolate eclairs, they are such sneaky things aren't they?

 

Enjoy your breakfast with your sister Skylark and watch out for those cakes, hi velvet I hope moonie is back soon as well.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Skylark, I hope you have a nice breakfast with sister

Good luck with finding those cakes

I certainly was told!

Enjoy breakfast with your sister and your time to yourself.

 They're very sneaky!

I see today that the stretch of the A40 between Gloucester and Cheltenham I mentioned yesterday is being resurfaced over the next 2 weeks. They are doing it overnight rather than the daytime. It's time they did this as the condition of the road has deteriorated considerably and has potholes in places. Not good for vehicles on a 70 mph bypass.

Back from my bit of a day out, got caught in the rain, now its stopped and the sun is shining. Typical! 
Talking of roadworks, near me at the main road, its chaos. Roadworks estimated for 15 weeks. Traffic/buses re -routed and diversions everywhere. Not exactly sure what the roadworks are for, and nobody else seems to know either 

Is it me or is there a Graemlin waving at me upside down ??

The road should be a lot better and safer once they've finished.

15 weeks is a long time - especially when nobody knows why or what's being done!

lol I can't see an upside down waving Graemlin! 

Hi Yogi, i meant "bit of a day out" not "nit" 

Yes i can still see it, on your post above!! 
I am not bonkers, i dont think 

Away to make sons tea. Hope to catch you later xx

Oh yes, I can see it now! How on earth did that happen!

see you later.

The upside down waving Graemlin was in squiggle's post which Yogi had quoted. It's one that squiggle found somewhere rather than the normal waving one on this site

Normal

Squiggle's

 

Skylark, what a nightmare for everyone with those roadworks.

 

The mystery is solved.

I thought that would be a puzzle for you all I'd already used the waving smiley so I thought I would go looking for an alternative. 

 

Road works are a nightmare round here too, everywhere you go.  The main road through a village near me has been closed for about 6 months, luckily you can use an alternative small road running behind it.  I wondered for ages what they were doing but just found out they are sinking two huge tanks for when there's a lot of rain, instead of allowing this potentially dirty water to foul the beach.

Afternoon Velvet.

 

Weather is rather wet and windy here, but I'm indoors and cosy so I don't mind.

I quoted your post and never noticed!

Off to cook some dinner, see you later.

Nodding off, so I'll say goodnight and sweet dreams. Hugs for the night owls.
