Yogi, sounds as if your washing machine concern has been allayed

Well done Mr Washing and instellation man  

*passes bag of bird feed for PB to feed the birds 

There is an ongoing petition to deny permission to a bar in London where owls will be on display and customers able to stroke them. Please support this petition.

https://www.change.org/p/londo...mE0AiJk4OTYq3srUY%3D

 

There's an article in the Telegraph about the bar.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foo...s-sign-petition.html

At the end of the article it says that all profits from ticket sales will be donated to the Gloucester Barn Owl Centre’s new conservation project.

That is a lie. The Barn Owl Centre has not agreed to accept such money and is on public record saying that:

Sounds like a bit of a con/scam going on there then El 

I have signed the petition, only a couple of hundred more needed to reach the required number.  A really worthy cause please sign too, thank you EL for bringing this to our attention, this is a disgraceful idea.

 

EDIT Now only 181 more signatures required.

It seems that the bar owners contacted the owl centre about giving them the profits, the centre hasn't replied, and the next thing they know is the bar getting into the national press and the centre getting attacked by animal rights activists.

Thanks, squiggle

I see that the weather forecast site Metcheck has just changed the format of its forecast pages for this week and the following week.

https://www.metcheck.com/UK/7d...n=-2.2&findtype=

It now shows the percentage likelyhood of snow. Appaerently there's a 90% chance of snow on Monday afternoon in the Gloucester area though the temperature is forecast at 6 C. On the following week page there's a 35% chance of snow on the afternoon of Saturday 7th with a temperature of 12 C.

Something not quite right about that

(Note that the page does change so if you look at the link, the figures may have changed)

 

My brother has just arrived

 

And the cake is:

 

The petition against that owl bar in London has now had 9,703 signatories and the target increase to 10,000 though that will increase once 10,000 people have signed.

It was Mr Yogi who "installed it".

 

The blackbirds (and PB) have had lots of raisins.

The cake looks delicious, and I'm sure it will taste delicious too.

That looks delish El 

Any going spare? 

Well done Mr Yogi  I hope 

Sounds like PB and the blackbirds had a good day then 

And I know you did too  

The kitchen floor isn't flooded....yet!

Yes, we all had a good day. 

How was your day?

I'm minding again tomorrow, so I'm going to get off to bed.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie.

Hugs for the night owls.

night yogi and summer if you pop in

At last! I'm here, at last! It's been non stop here today, and I've made several attempts to post a full sentence lol

El, I hope you have enjoyed today, happy birthday! and have a lovely weekend with your brother

Yogi I hope you had fun with PB, I'm going to want to hear all about it tomorrow

Sweetest of dreams everyone xxxxx

Good morning is there anything more lovely than hearing a dawn chorus?

I've signed the owl petition

Happy Saturday everyone, El I hope that birthday cake is going down nicely

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is wet and windy.

 

You were an early bird this morning, Summer. I love to hear the dawn chorus.

 

I'll give you a PB update tonight.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone

 

The cake is yummy

 

Cloudy and there's the threat of rain here but I think the heaviest rain is this evening.

Yogi, I'm glad the wetness is outside for you rather than the kitchen floor

 

11,694 signatories to that owl petition so far. It would be good if that can be doubled so that it would then exceed the number of people who have expresses an interest in going to the bar.

 

Good morning everyone, I think we have a similar weather forecast to yours EL, heavy rain later on.  I hope the weekend is going well

 

I love to hear the dawn chorus too, I do hope we can get enough signatures on that petition to stop this idea in its tracks.  Have a great day with PB Yogi and I am glad the new washing machine is safely installed and working well.

 

 Everyone.

Sorry i missed your birthday El, hope it was a good one and you having a lovely time with your brother 

                         

Have a great weekend all xxx

Thank you Skylark

 

Having a good weekend with my brother

12,251 signatories on the petition now.

 

Evening I hope you've all had a good day

I'm glad you're enjoying the weekend El, what game are you playing this time?

Yogi, I'm looking forward to PB news

How's the baby settling in squiggle?

Skylark, I hope your weekend is peaceful

Where's moonie today?

P.S. I signed that petition for the owls

Evening all.

 

Had a lovely, fun day with PB.

 

 

Hi yogi what's the latest PB news?

Hi Summer.

 

She copies everything we say now, so she has gone home with two new phrases - "hold the bus" (my fault) and "on your bike" (uncle's fault). 

 

haha! That's it, send her home with plenty to say
What's "hold the bus" mean?

It sort of means " wait" or "stop" 

For example, if Hubby was about to eat the last cake, I might say, "Hold the bus, that's mine!".

I thought so, but I'm daft so could have been wrong lol

Did you play games today?

We did lots of puzzles, looked at lots of photos and read lots of books. She also played with her dolls and pram. One of her doll's has a dodgy eye which stays shut and PB calls her "wonky eye". She also does an imitation of wonky eye, and she winks.

Hehe! She sounds so funny, I bet your ribs and cheeks ache from laughing sometimes

How are you getting on with your jigsaw?

She makes us laugh all the time. She has a wicked sense of humour and loves fun.

My jigsaw is about two thirds done.

 

Have you had a busy day at work?

What's the picture?

It was record breaking! and this is supposed to be a quiet time of year

I found a link which shows the puzzle.

You must be tired but it's good for business.

That's a great picture it's almost Christmassy

Yes it is, I'm not too tired either we had a few laughs too

What are you going tomorrow?

Yes, it does have a Christmassy feel.

 

Laughs are good for the soul.

 

If I get my way, tomorrow will be a lazy day.

 

What have you got planned?

 

 

A movie or 2 maybe? Are you likely to have visitors?

Dog walking and a pub lunch I hope it's not going to be too windy, it's wild tonight!
