I'd kept the backup setting active yogi, but then delete them from the cloud when you feel they have safely been saved to your laptop
You must take a lot of photos

* keep

I sneaky snap shot this for you...

Wow, those are amazing! I want one!!!!

It would be amazing wouldn't it!

The beds are right under the dome

They are all saved to my laptop and I'm double checking I have them all saved to a memory stick, then I'll delete them from the cloud.

Remember when we used to back up on to discs?

It must be fabulous to lie in bed and watch the stars.

 Yes! That seems such a long time ago.

I'd not want to go to sleep!

How's your day been yogi?

That would be my problem too, I'd want to stay awake all night

 

Apart from the lawnmower problem, my day has been fine. I got lots of weeding done and started thinking about what to grow this year.

How was your day?

Any ideas yet? I vote for courgettes

I'm hoping to pop into the garden centre tomorrow for some flowers to pot up. I'll go for anything colourful

My day was busy but good fun thank you, school holidays are a bit

Sorry Summer, I'm nodding off. Goodnight and sweet dreams.

Hugs for any night owls.

You caught me!

 

We aren't keen on courgettes, I'm afraid.

 

I'm going to do tomatoes and some herbs and I might do some beetroot and onions.

 

Night night, sweet dreams.

Lol I literally am the only person I know who likes courgettes!

I won't be far behind you uogi sweet dreams

night yogi and summer

Good morning everyone

 

A bit cloudier here than yesterday and quite warm.

 

I don't mind courgettes so, Summer, you are not alone

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is dry and the sun is shining.

 

My thighs and butt are aching after yesterday's weeding. Just shows how unfit I am!

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone, Yogi you need a nice relaxing bath, does Radox in it really help with the aches and pains I wonder, hope you feel better soon

 

Those star gazing igloos look great fun, I wonder how long I would last before I drifted off though, and I always find it frustrating because I don't know my constellations as well as I think I ought to.

 

Off to Homebase this morning, my grandson is going to be painting my living room for me so we need some bits.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Lots of decent stuff at B&Q at the moment. Exceptional dust sheet offers and their excellent new Valspar computerised paint mixers! I was impressed!

Morning all. Been busy with the Granddaughter with it being school hols. We just off out, weather lovely.
Have a good day all

Good morning it's cold but sunny here today I'm glad someone else does like courgettes too!

Squiggle, how are you decorating? Are you changing colours are just freshening up?

Yogi I hope your aches wear off real soon, a radox bath sounds like a good idea to me

Skylark I hope you're both enjoying the school holiday

Skylark, I hope the weather holds for the rest of the school holiday

 

Being an accountant I noticed the bit on the news today about Labour intending to abolish the concept of non-domiciles for tax purposes. I have just one client who is potentially non-dom but as her income is just in the UK she pays the tax as we do. If Labout win and do abolish the concept, I hope they realise that any non-doms who become liable to tax on their non-UK income will be able to offset some or all of any foreign tax they've paid on that income. For instance someone domiciled in Russia but UK resident would pay 45% current top rate - 13% Russian tax rate = 32% UK tax on their Russian income rather than 45%.

 

My aches and pains eased off, but, as I've just spent another couple of hours in the garden, I'm expecting some aches again tomorrow.

 

Joe, we are off to B&Q later today. We need a new lawnmower and some fence paint.

 

Squiggle, what colour of paint have you chosen?

 

Skylark, I hope you have a nice day out with your granddaughter.

 

El, (excuse my ignorance) does that mean Labours' plan won't put any more coffers into the tax pot?

 

Summer, are you day off today? If so, I hope you are enjoying the good weather.

 

Moonie, I hope your fridge freezer is still working and your washing is out on the line.

 

Catch up later.

 

 

 

 

Yogi, well done on braving the garden and I hope you don't ache tomorrow. I hope your trip to B&Q is successful

 

Yogi, I don't think it's possible to say what effect abolishing the concept of non-doms would have on the tax pot. It depends on a) how much forign income do non-doms get each year, b) how much foreign tax on that income could be offset against the UK tax, c) to what extent would non-doms decide to leave the UK as a result and how much loss would that be to the UK economy. 3 huge unknowns making it impossible to say what the effect would be. I'm not saying that the plan is wrong, just that we can't say what the effect would be.

 

Moonie has posted elsewhere that he's not feeling too well and will be away for a few days. Get well soon

Back home laden down with rollers etc.  Summer for the living room just freshening up, the colour is magnolia in there Yogi which sounds deathly dull but in reality is a lovely warm cream which goes nicely with the pale green and pink, carpet and curtains.

 

When we get to the hall it will be a change of colour hopefully from magnolia - again - to a pale turquoise.

 

The weather is much better than yesterday when a ginormous sea mist rolled in and filled the valley all afternoon.  Hope the weather is good for everyone and especially all those on half-term.

Squiggle, sounds as if you have the decorating in hand

Thanks for the non-dom info, El, and for letting us know about Moonie.

Squiggle, I also like neutral/pastel colours on the walls, then I add colour with my sofas, carpets and curtains.

Velvet, I've enjoyed pottering about in the garden again, but my muscles need retraining.

Moonie, get well soon and hurry back to us.

*night owls* evening erm.. Where did the day go?!
The weather was glorious so I ended up staying out for longer and walking 10 miles!
Then I popped to SIL's to do her hair, cooked tea, washed my hair and skyped my mum.

Oh no, get well soon Moonie and come back soon. I hope you didn't hurt yourself bashing that fridge freezer!

Squiggle those colours sound lovely, I too go for non offensive pastel walls and then jazz the rooms up with splashes of colour using textiles & accessories

Hi Summer, sounds like you've had a good but busy day.

I have thank you yogi, how was your day?
I'm determined to have a proper lazy day soon

My day was quite busy. Managed to get the rest of the weeding done and prepared the raised bed for the veg plants and seeds. Met My Yogi and bought a new lawnmower anf fence paint.

Very productive are you keen to get planting?
I didn't get to the garden centre maybe this weekend

Yes, I am! Getting my hands in the soil (I don't wear gardening gloves!) got my gardening juices going again.

I hope you do get to the garden centre at the weekend, there's lots of lovely plants around atm.

I love the smell of soil! I don't wear gloves either, they're too clunky. I'm going to repot my accidental holly bush soon- it's looking strong
What flowers are you planting?

I planted primroses and pansies today and I also have a holy bush that needs repotting. 

I don't suppose you remember this fella do you?


He was called greenclaws and I watched the show when I was a kid
