Off to put my feet up and have a cup of tea, see you all later.
Skylark, my thighs have been aching after a couple of days of gardening, so you have my sympathy.
I hope your granddaughter has a lovely holiday and the weather stays fine for her.
You on another break
Oh poor you, have a nice hot bath.
Thanks , yes she will. She loves the rain anyway, if it comes. Strange child! x
No, we're finished now!
PB is the same, she loves jumping in puddles, and saying "splish, splash".
Oh bless PB a right wee character. Hope all your hard work looks good and you can now put your feet up x
She's a little minx!
Well, it certainly looks a lot better than it did. The number of weeds in the borders was ubelieveable!
Yes the weeds grow quickly dont they , well done. You have reward yourself for your hard work x
I'll be round with Jim McColl and Carole Baxter tomorrow Yogi to give it the once over
Sky - hope your unwinding and GD enjoys her trip
Hope the rest of the Buddies are okay.
Lovely day and no error.
Can you bring Monty and his dog, Nigel, instead?

Correct El.
Goodnight Skylark.
Lots of links El, I like the moon theory I love to see the moon, it always makes me smile.
Reading back has certainly made me want to get the paintbrush out! It hadn't occured to me that ceilings don't have to be white
Moonie, hope you're resting up well, we miss you
Evening Summer, have you had a good day?
Yes I did thank you, very busy but good fun
How was your day?
Yes I did thank you, very busy but good fun
How was your day?
Don't worry, my house phone has been ringing all night!
That's good. My day was busy too, but the garden is looking a lot better.
Is the swing seat out yet?
Is the swing seat out yet?
It was sunny but a wee bit chilly.
The swing seat has gone. It was too big to put in the garage over winter, so hubby left it out and it got wrecked.
I know! He's a plum!
He has bought a takeaway curry. I'm off to nick some. BRB.
Chicken Jalpuri (I think!) I've only nicked a little bit!
What are your plans?
What are your plans?
PB minding on Saturday, then PB's birthday on Sunday.
Did you find her everything you wanted to buy?
Did you find her everything you wanted to buy?
Nope! I'm going back to the shops tomorrow for some summer dresses for her.
I've run out of toy options for her - the child has everything!
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer. I'm going to go too.
Night owl hugs.

Good morning everyone
Another warm and sunny day here. Forecast for rain tomorrow morning and temperature nack to normal.
The air pollution map for today. My area is in the fairly high band.
I'm quite partial to chicken jalpuri so I might have pinched more than a bit
Good morning everyone.
It's another sunny morning, up here.
El, you would have enjoyed the jalpuri, it was very tasty.
Out and about today, looking for the rest of PB's birthday presents.
Have a good day everyone.
Moin xx
i'm hoping to finish off the last fence, dig over and weed the borders and cut the grass. My body only aches in two places, the upper half and the lower half.
Yogi, I hope your present hunting is a success
GJ, at least your middle is ache free.

I know how that feels, Joe.
Yogi, I hope your present hunting is a success

Thanks El, I'm going to need that luck.
Good morning everyone, a little cloudier today. Interesting map EL, I hope you don't notice any discomfort. I notice that a huge wedge of pollution coming over from France, is there any particular reason for that?
My friendly robin is perched right outside my window on the decking, not having any luck with his 'worm watch' so far and his feathers are all puffed up so he looks like a little ball of brown fluff, must be a little chilly out there.
I hope everyone's aches and pains can be eased in a nice hot bath later Good luck with your present hunting Yogi for the girl who has everything, inspiration might suddenly strike.
Enjoy your day everyone
Squiggle, I'm not expecting to notice any discomfort from the air pollution, I don't have any of the health conditions where people are at greater risk. The pollution seems to be the result of a combination of factors and it's possible that it's been made worse by farmers in France using fertiliser at this time of year.
Nice to have your friendly robin there
Squiggle, I think you keep your car in your garage but if it's kept outside tonight you are likely to find that it's covered in Saharan dust by tomorrow morning.
I don't know whether anyone has been watching Great Canal Journeys following Timothy West and Prunella Scales on various canal boats but I am just catching up with the last in the series which travels through Scotland and they use the Falkirk Wheel. Very interesting and I recommend it on catch-up.
I was reading the latest issue of one of my accountancy magazines and it mentioned something about clarity ISAs affecting accounts ending on or after 15 December 2012. It turns out that these ISAs aren't what we think of as ISAs but are international standards on auditing so as I don't do audits I don't need to panic
Squiggle, I hadn't seen Great Canal Journeys as it would bring back memories of my dad suffering from dementia (Prunella Scales has Alzheimers).
Be reassured EL, Pru has a very mild condition and only suffers from slight forgetfulness, nothing to upset you
I'll think about it squiggle but I see that the first episode includes them meeting Philip Pullman which puts me off due to his athiestic views (such as the His Dark Materials series of books written with the intent to be negative to Christianity and be the athiestic equivalent to the Narnia books by C S Lewis). Anathema.
Unless you're very interested in the French journey, which was interesting and maybe worth a watch and I don't think was upsetting at all with them meeting up with their son and his children who live in France, then I can happily recommend the last one which I have just watched, and apart from Pru getting a little confused when going through a very complicated lock, and Tim did too, there was a happy atmosphere throughout and of course the Falkirk Wheel is well worth a watch
