Good morning everyone

 

At present there's a fair amount of blue sky here. Forecast is for heavy and frequent showers and windy conditions for much of the day.

 

Summer, I hope you are feeling better this morning

 

I hope Yogi and Mr Yogi are having a good time in London

Good morning a sunny but windy start here today. I've had a better nights sleep and feel slightly better, the plan this morning is to rest

I too hope the yogi's are enjoying london and having a good adventure. I wonder if they'll bring back any strays from Paddington station...?
I should think the atmosphere in the capital is good following the birth of princess Charlotte

Summer, I'm glad you are feeling a bit better and hope you are back to full health soon

 

If the Yogis can't find any strays at Paddington Station, they might find one in a handbag at Victoria Station

Good morning everyone, good news that you are feeling slightly better and hopefully resting today will help that along.

 

Now the question is did the Yogis take marmalade sandwiches along with them, if they did there is a very good chance we could have a new contributor to our thread - from deepest darkest Peru

 

Similar weather to yours EL, very very blustery again and showers slowly dying out.  I think the forecast is dryer after today though, mostly, which will help in getting the house finished now.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, I hope the weather does improve for you so that the workmen can finish their work. Weather's here not nice today and not the type of day that workmen could get much external work done, ceratinly not above ground level because of the wind.

 

I wonder if the Yogis did take some marmalade sandwiches

I thought this was very appropriate, especially for you EL

Squiggle, I love that picture. Thank you

Afternoon everyone 


Lovely pic squiggle. 
Glad to hear you feeling a bit better Summer, look after yourself. 
Rain finally stopped here, was terrible yesterday, it just lashed down for hours. 
Hope too, Mr and Mrs Yogi having a good time, and the weather is better there than here. 
 @ marmalade sandwiches. 
Granddaughter managed to get 3 Paddington  Bear annuals at Christmas. One from me, one from her nana and one from her cousin! Maybe better communication needed for this year    Oh look at me talking about Christmas already. I am sure that will cheer a certain someone up 

Have a good day all 

Afternoon Skylark

3 Paddington Bear annuals

When I was a lot younger, it was Rupert Bear annuals that were given to me.

http://www.classicrupertbearsh...om/en-gb/dept_2.html

It's too long ago to remember which ones I had but the 1956, 1957 and 1958 ones are the ones I vaguely remember. It's many years since I gave them away.

Hi El. , yes I remember Rupert! I am only 39 too . I tell wee fibs! 
Unfortunately GD doesnt take to the "new" Paddington, she says he looks scary. I can agree a bit. Lashing rain again here now . plus i thought i saw a flash there, a bit lightening . No thunder, at the moment anyway.......

Skylark, having just looked at a trailer for that Paddington film I can see what you mean. Fine for older children but not for youngsters. The film got a PG ceritifcate rather than a U. The BBFC says that a PG film may have scenes unsuitable for young children but should not upset children of 8 upwards.

Hi El, no GD didnt like it. Nor did I. 
Anyway, have to get off to get said person fed and off to Brownies. She has taken it well from Rainbows. Having a meeting about going to camp in a couple of weeks. Its all go. 
Love to all, have a lovely evening xxx

Afternoon/early evening all  

Blowing a gale here but managed to dodge on my outings 

We may get a good day here according to the weather forecast but not holding my breath  

Hope you have all had a good day

Good evening all

Skylark I've been remembering what you said about staying hydrated and have been making sure I drink plenty of fluids I too thought the new Paddington looked scary, it put me off watching it at first but once I got into it, I did enjoy it. I felt awfully sorry for him too for ages which made it hard to watch, even though I knew he would actually find a home.

I am truly blessed; the car was definitely meant for me it's immaculate and I can pick it up tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I've rested most of the day but sorted some stuff out for my holiday, like travel insurance and checking my passport etc- I found 55 euros in my travel wallet that must have been left from my last holiday

Hi Sweet
Very pleased about your car. Glad you liked it

Good news about the 55 Euros too 

Fankoo moonie I'm getting excited now!

How are you? Did you have a good day?
Did you see how I snuck a giraffe in last night? baz loved it, not

Yeeeey! excitement is good 

I is okay fankoo yep, a good day too fankoo 

Wasn't on last night Sweet

I noticed, but wondered if my giraffe was still visable on the last Darnie page. Baz is likely to have kicked him out

She wouldn't do that anyway Sweet

Haha- see, I knew she has a soft spot for them really

She does but she doesn't know it yet

night moons and summer

Nite nite, sleep well and have sweet dreams Rossss

Leaving goodnight hugs for all or "fur" all for Ros

Yogi I hope you're having a wonderful trip

 

Good morning everyone

 

Better weather here today, sunnier and much less windy, Possible showers but nothing much.

 

For moonie (I'll be able to get away with it here )

Good morning everyone, much nicer here this morning.  I like the bedding EL - I am sure these two will like it too

         

I hope the Yogis are having a great time, I wonder if they will manage to fit in a West End show while they are in London?

 

Wonderful news about the car Summer, happy driving!  And a holiday on the horizon too.

 

Moonie, Skylark,  Ros and velvet I hope your day goes well

 

Me and my friend are off to the dentist soon, her appointment is at 10.15 and mine at 11.15 and I am giving her a lift in as I have some errands to run before my appointment.  We are following our old dentist to a new dental practice.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone  

El, love the bedding 

You're right about only being able to get away with it in here 

Squiggle, love the dancing giraffes too 

 

I had voted by 8-20 

 

Have a good election day Buddies  

Good morning sunny and bright here today no wonder so many colds are around with temperatures rapidly changing every day

Rofl El, that bedding is perfect! can you imagine Baz's face if Inchy put that on their bed while she was out?

Squiggle, those giraffes are cute good luck at the dentist today, I hope you pick up something nice for yourself among the errands you're running

P.S. I have already voted this morning and am thankful to all the men & women who made terrible sacrifices to give us the right to vote

His life wouldn't be worth living Sweet 

Good morning to you Sweet  

Hope your day goes well and you are feeling better today 

Bravo Sweet 

Squiggle, I hope your dental appointment goes well, I like your dancing giraffes

 

Just back from doing my voting bit
