Mine is and always has been in the local church hall El

 

EDIT...It was in the local infant/junior school at one point, I have just remembered  

Mine used to be at the school near me which is for children from 4 to 16 with special educational needs. Those looking for further education would probably go to the National Star College, which is near Chetlenham.

What a wonderful story of that lady flying in a Spitfire again EL, and I agree Summer all those brave people who fought so we could be free to live in a democracy and have a free vote.

 

All fine at the dentist, he is very pleased with me

Squiggle, I'm glad all went well at the dentist

100 years ago today, the Lusitania ocean liner was torpedoed by a German U-boat at 14.10, started sinking and went under at 14.28. 1,198 people died leaving 761 survivors.

 

This was made in 1918 and of course is silent:

 

Shiver my timbers, it's treasure

This morning on one of the news channels, I heard they discovered ammunition on that vessel...was it not a passenger liner? If so why was there ammunition on it? 

Moonie, there has been a debate for a very long time as to whether the Lusitania was carrying some ammunition secretly ot was not. The ship sank off the Irish coast and I think I heard on the news that the Irish government won't permit a detailed examination of the sunken wreckage out of respect to those who died.

 

They have shown underwater footage of the wreck but nothing was visible as to ammunition El

I do believe that sites like the Lusitania should be respected as the final resting place for those who died.

I agree Squiggle 

*night owls* evening all, I hope you're currently tucked up in bed and sleeping soundly

Lovely articles in here today, it's been interesting catching up, thank you
Squiggle I'm pleased the dentist went well and hope the new practise was comfy

I'm feeling a lot better today thank you, and have my new car now I am over the moon and back with with it!

Leaving goodnight hugs for all

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here, dry at present, forecast to become wet.

 

Summer, I'm glad you are feeling a lot better and that you are pleased with your new car

 

Annual boiler service, should be routine. As the boiler is in the airing cupboard in the room where I have my computer, I won't be around for an hour.

 

I hope the Yogis have had a good break in London

 

Morning buddies  

I won't say 'good morning' 

Well it will be for some of you 

Sweet, glad you are feeling better, El, good luck with the boiler, I too hope Mr Yogi and Yogi have had a lovely time 

Have a great day everyone 

Thanks moonie for my boiler I'm not expecting anything disastrous though the 5 year warranty period is almost up.

We had our gas service a few weeks ago, that went okay 

Good morning everyone, disappointingly cold and cloudy today, can we have some summer soon please?

 

Good news that you are feeling better Summer and enjoying the new car, I hope it will give you many happy years of trouble-free motoring.

 

I too hope that the Yogis are having a lovely time and we look forward to welcoming Yogi back with us.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Hi Squiggle 

Just been and shopped before the expected deluge here. Though we have sun but mostly cloudy, it's still quite cool 

We could have a summer soon, well, it's possible isn't it? 

Have a good day  

My boilerman was on the late side but has been and gone and all is well with the boiler

 

Squiggle, I think you may get some nice sunshine tomorrow afternoon and a bit warmer as well.

 

Good news indeed El  

I've just taken delivery of a box from Amazon for one of my neighbours. It's so light that I'm not sure if there's anything inside the box

 

Amazon's concept of using drones to deliver parcels is getting closer, at least in the States:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-32653269

I wonder if they will be programmed to leave it at the next door neighbours or throw it over the gate into the back garden if you aren't there 

That's a point!  How do they know you're not there?  Does it go coo-ee from the sky

 

   Everyone. 
Just been watching Ve 70 . Respect to all 

What ever party to all voted for, have to say they must be exhausted, but still standing and respectful  


Glad to hear you on the mend Summer, and well done for voting , i think i nagged you a bit the last time!! X
Good the boiler ok El, mine is usually due the same time as you, so i expect an appointment time soon. 

Hope everyone well. My internet has slowed down to a peep. Driving me nuts! If i dont reply i shall send a pigeon, it may be faster !! 

Hi Skylark 

 @ your internet remark

Well said, Skylark

In church on Sunday the organist at the end of the service started playing various songs which were very popular during WW2. I was right at the back of the church and could see  a couple of women at the back who would have been children at the time of the actual VE day celebrations. They were dancing together to the song "we'll meet again". The vicar happened to have her phone with her and snapped a photo of them.

Skylark, I hope the hamsters get fed so that your broadband speeds up

The rain that was forecast for my bit of the country, has duly arrived  

Hi El, Aw that was nice. 
My father was in the RAF, a flight engineer. Had a wee tear for him today, he passed a few years ago, but never a day went by, when he wasnt working he had his collar and tie on. He always had a bit of a rant of being called "the bryl cream boys"     Spelling of it may not be right.....
Hi moonie, hope you well x
Going to reboot, or feed the hamsters...............

Skylark, it's nice to have memories of your father like that

I hope the reboot works.

 

My neighbour came to collect that very light box. He said that it was a loud shirt to wear on a bowls trip he's going on. He opened the box and it's certainly colourful, possibly with the intention of dazzling the opposition. Here's a picture of the shirt and you may see why I've posted it

Fab shirt, i like colour 

you would definitely need a pair of these, wouldn't you?

 

Hi Skylark, I hope the re-boot works wonders and your broadband speed improves

Lovely memories of your dad Skylark we never forget our dads do we?

Evening all a busy bee kind of day here but it's all good

Skylark it's lovely to remember your dad, I'm sure he's very much missed and I hope the VE Day coverage did them all justice. My gran was in the RAF and stationed in Norfolk, she drove trucks & ambulances among other vehicles.

El, that shirt is brilliant I especially like the giraffes!
I hope your boiler service went smoothly

Evening all.

Had a lovely time in London but it's nice to be home.

Will need to read back.

Hi Velvet, we really enjoyed ourselves but it's also lovely to be back.

We went on the London Eye and we spent an afternoon in the Imperial War Museum - I could have spent days in there! We went to Leicester Square and China town (as I've never been there before) and we saw High Society at The Vic.  I also made Mr Yogi take me to see the new Spooks movie, but that doesn't really count as a sight!

 Nope!
