Nite nite, sleep well and have sweet dreams everyone   

Good morning everyone.

 

The sun is shining again.

 

Yesterday was a bit hectic , but today should be quieter.

 

Skylark, I'm sorry I keep missing you. 

The sudden change of doctor's surgery must be unsettling for you, but hopefully the new GP will be a good one.

 

Moonie, I'm glad the smoke has gone and you are free to go out and about again.

 

I did put cakes in my shopping trolley -  a lemon and cream Victoria Sponge and some French Fancies. -> 

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone

 

Fairly cloudy here, still not warm, not forecast to rain today,

 

Yogi, nice cakes I hope you get your quieter day today.

 

Happy 175th birthday to squiggle's Penny Black Stamp

Ha ha! Shall I throw a party?

 

Good morning everyone, very grey here I hope the rain holds off for today though as hopefully they are putting up the cladding on the dormer today.

 

Those cakes sound delicious Yogi, I hope you manage to have a quieter day today.  I hope Skylark finds her new doctor helpful and easy to get on with and also that there wasn't too much wasted food as a result of the power cut.

 

My little red car goes to a new owner today, I'm glad that he is thrilled with her and will look after her.  He even knows how to sort out the strut to hold the boot open, there's still a bit of a lump in my throat though, she's been a good car.  She's in showroom condition on the drive at the moment, absolutely gleaming, I've just given her a quick polish.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, although it's sad to see your red car go, at least you know the new owner will love it as much as you have.

It is comforting EL, and we sold it for slightly more than I paid for it.

If you want to listen to the sound of a new species of bird which has just been identified, it's on:

Rather harsh sound though.

 

Big Rugby Union cup final this evening at Twickenham. Edinburgh v Gloucester.

 

First time Gloucester has got to a European Challenge cup final since 2006. First time any Scottish side has got to a European cup final,

 

You can guess which side I prefer to win. I might be in a minoirty here

Afternoon everyone  

It has been sunny here but is cloudy now though no rain is forecast for today. Quite cool still 

Have a good day peeps 

Interesting news. First diabetic woman in the world with an artificial pancreas to gibe birth naturally.

Hi Moonie Much the same weather here as for you. Quite a lot of rain forecast in my area over the bank holiday though.

And you too velvet

Evening all.

 

Weather has been sunny but quite chilly today.

 

Velvet, I hope you have a good weekend too.

 

Squiggle, I'm glad the new owner is someone who will appreciate your car.

 I saw that! I think I shall remain neutral and hope for a draw.

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.

Hugs for the night owls.

night yogi and summer if you pop in

Good morning



Apologies for not making it here yesterday. We had to send a colleague home poorly, was busy because of the bank hol/pay day weekend and I didn't feel too well myself last night. I'm feeling well rested and stink of garlic this morning so here's hoping

What are everyone's bank holiday plans?

Squiggle I'm glad your car has gone to someone who'll be kind to her how are you getting on with the new one?

I too hope the rugby is a draw

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here, rain expected later. Fairly wet conditions expected in my area for the next few days.

 

Lovely picture Summer I hope your garlic has successfully warded off the germs and you don't go down with that bug

 

That rugby union match last night:

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is sunny and very chilly.

 

Summer, I hope you feel better soon.

I love the beautiful pic.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone, a middling day here but lots of rain forecast.

 

A lovely picture Summer.  I am getting on fine with the new car, I love driving an automatic and there's loads of space to put things.  Cup holders everywhere and something I wasn't expecting, just hadn't thought of, my old car had a cassette player - a blast from the past - which obviously wasn't much use but of course my new one has a CD player so I've been making my own CD's which has been fascinating, and also I've been able to play the recording of our baptism ceremony which has been lovely to listen to again.  So many dear friends and our old minister who was the most wonderful pastor to have and I relied on him so much when we had so many crises in our lives.  There was a hairy moment yesterday though.  My grandson has been in charge of selling the car, I promised it to him.  So both cars were parked on my steep driveway yesterday - there were 2 builders vans up the top so no room up there.  Anyway my grandson offered to move the car up onto the lane for the new buyer who was nervous about doing a hill start in a new car and he thought he had engaged first gear (it can be a little tricky sometimes) but didn't and the car rolled down into my new one behind! Much panic and I quickly got ready to take over but then he got it into first and roared up the drive - heart stopping moment.  It was chaos for a while as the buyer is friends with the builders - they went to school together - and that's how he heard about the car.  There was the new car owner's mum in her Smart car who had driven him there she was parked up the top as well, it looked like a particularly busy car park

 

I hope you are feeling OK this morning and, as EL says, the garlic did the trick and saw off the bug.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, I hope neither your old car or your new car were damaged?

 

No they were fine EL thank you but it was a very stressful moment until we could check. My grandson is very proud of his ability to do hill starts so I didn't want to rain on his parade, it all turned out fine but if I had known beforehand I would have had to step in.

Squiggle, I'm relieved that there was no damage

Squiggle, that must have been scary until you checked there was no damage!

It was! Thank goodness it all turned out OK, it must have been worse for my grandson.

Another video of London similar to the one squiggle posted recently. This one compares London in 1927 compared to 2013. The 1927 footage was filmed by Claude Friese-Greene with his colour camera.

I loved the side by side comparison, El.

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. See you tomorrow.

Night owl hugs.

night yogi -just missed you hope you are feeling better

Good morning everyone

 

Wet here, may be a brief interlude for a few hours before showers materialise.Tomorrow may be better weather.

 

I hope everyone has a good day and that Summer's bug has gone

Good morning everyone, we have similar weather to you EL, I am hoping for a dry interlude as I go to church.

 

I hope that you will feel better soon Summer

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone.

 

It's pouring down up here!

 

Squiggle and El, I hope you manage to get to church without getting wet.

 

Summer, I hope you are feeling better this morning.

 

Have a good day everyone.

 

 

Good morning lovely people  

Was wet to start with but looking a little more promising now 

Sweet, hope you feel better this morning 

Yogi any chance of PB visit over the Bank Holiday?

Squiggle, glad the car wasn't damaged in the "hill incident"  

El, hope all is well with you 

I don't know if I will back this evening but will pop in during the day. Have a good Bank Holiday peeps   

Good morning we've got dreadful weather, the rain & wind are battering the house! It sounds nice on the windows though

Thank you all for the get well messages I do feel a lot better today, my remedies work all the better for catching a germ early

Crikey squiggle! Thank goodness the cars didn't get damaged I bet the poor driver felt panicked at the time.
Has the car gone now?
I'm going browsing for cars today, fingers crossed we find one without too much hassle

The rain stopped here before I went to church and there's some blue sky and clouds now. Somewhat windy and showers are expected in a while.

 

Summer, I'm glad you are feeling better today I'm fairly certain that the new owner did drive squiggle's old car away. I hope you succeed in finding a suitable car without too much hassle. Here's one for you

I wonder what's happened here with 2 identical posts by Summer posted 4 hours apart

Yes thanks Summer my grandson drove the car up onto the lane and the new owner drove away as pleased as punch.  I am glad you are feeling a little better, from the sound of the weather it might be best to stay put for the day though.  Hi moonie nice to see you, enjoy your bank holiday.
