I'd give it an 8.  It was great to see Harry again.

Mr Yogi never watched the series and he enjoyed it.

I'm jiggered so I'm going to get off to bed.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet.

Hugs for the night owls.

Yayyyy! Welcome home yogi! I hope you had a wonderful time
My boyfriend (John snow in GOT) is in spooks- was he good in it?! Could I watch it without never having seen the tv show?

I got so excited there that I forgot to say goodnight

Sweet dreams all

night yogi  -lovely to see you back

night summer and velvet

 Hi Summer.

I had to Google, as I wasn't sure what Jon Snow in Game of Thrones looked like!

Yes, he was one of the main characters and he was very good. Hubby hadn't seen any of the tv shows and he still enjoyed it.

 

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is overcast, atm.

 

Grocery shopping this morning and a visit from middle son in the afternoon.

 

Have a good day everyone.

 

 

Good morning everyone

 

Fairly cloudy and breezy here but quite bright.

 

Yogi, I'm glad you had a nice time in London. I haven't been to the War Museum but have been to the Science Museum years ago - huge and can easily spend a whole day there.

 

Summer, the boiler service went smoothly

Good morning everyone, welcome back Yogi, glad you had a good time

 

I agree with you about the Science Museum EL, we have gone there with our daughter and our grandsons and it is always a fascinating day.

 

Better weather here today but could still do with being a touch warmer.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

When I went to the Science Museum there were lots of exhibits to see and some of them were things which people could get involved with. I was quite interested to see an exhibit of various chemical elements. I think it probably was the one with 59 elements which was bequeathed from the Bonaparte family,

 

There was the time when I was still at school when there was an emergency evacuation of the main building. Some of the 6th formers were taking part in a physics or chemistry experiment which went a bit wrong leading to the release of some radioactive material. We were able to go back into school fairly quickly though and I know that the room where it happened was right at the top of the building so could quite easily be shut off from the rest of the school.

I can't be certain that it was radioactive material though, but that's what we were told at the time. That was back in the 60s and I think it improbable that a school would be permitted to have radioactive material on the property nowadays.

 

My M&S food research has continued today with their peach melba (with white chocolate) slices dessert.

They're nice

Sounds delicious EL - any leftovers?

There are but I can't find a picture anywhere. I think they've only been put on sale in the last day or so.

 

Evening all. 

 

El, the M&S peach and white chocolate dessert sounds yummy.

 

In the BGT thread.

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone, see you tomorrow.

Night owl hugs.

night yogi and velvet and summer if you pop in

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather isn't very nice, it's raining.

 

Got PB coming this morning.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here and looks as if it will be like that all day. Probably dry though so not a wash out.

 

Yogi, I hope you have a nice time with PB - you have a lot of catching up to do

 

 

Good morning everyone, we have similar weather to yours EL dry but you couldn't describe it as nice weather.  Pretty much the same all week except for Thursday which is forecast to be wet, still low temperatures though

 

Enjoy your catch-up with PB Yogi you will have lots to tell her

 

Enjoy your day everyone

To be able to locate things it helps if you are like a bat or a dolphin

Evening all. Been a day for visitors.

PB in the morning, with middle son and Dil popping in to see her, then DiL picked up PB, then youngest son and his fiancee in the afternoon and stayed for dinner.

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. Night owl hugs.

night yogi velvet and summer if you pop in

Good morning everyone

 

Another cloudy breezy day here, little in the way of rain.

 

Yogi, I'm glad you had a good day with your family

 

Off to see a client in a bit. 

Yesterday I started on another one of M&S's regional cakes - parkin cake. It's many years since I've had any. My mother's parents (from Cheshire, originally Derbyshire) sent her some for us to have on bonfire night. For those of you who don't know what parkin cake is, it's gingerbread cake made with treacle and oatmeal,

Good morning everyone, we've had some rain but it's brightened up now.  I hope all goes well with your client EL.  I have always fancied having some parkin but never been lucky enough to come across any, living in the South East as I did and now the South West, I hope it's delicious.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, you may be able to get parkin cake from your M&S now. It is quite spicy with the ginger, it's nice.

Good morning hope you all slept well, I'm just going to read back and catch up

Ooooh cake talk already

Where would we be withou cake

Morning all.
Hope you all had a good weekend.
Flying visit for now, will catch up later.
Have a good day

Good morning everyone.

 

It was sunny when I woke but now it's quite overcast. Squiggle, I hope you haven't sent your rain up here!

 

El, I've never eaten parkin but I love gingerbread so I think I might like it. My (paternal) nana made the best gingerbread in the world! Unfortunately, nobody has the recipe!

 

Hope all is well with you, Skylark.

 

Summer, are you enjoying driving your new car?

 

Have a good day everyone.

 

 

Would I do that Yogi?

 

Talk about cake is always good, especially on a Monday morning.  Hi Summer and Skylark hope you are well.

I'm back from that client.

 

Skylark, I hope you are well

 

Yogi, now that M&S had parkin cake you may be able to get some to try.

Though if they were out of stock you might see a "No Parkin" sign

 I think you must have, because the rain has arrived!

 

I hope the meeting with the client went well.

Hi everyone  

Have not been and am still not feeling very well hence my non appearance the last few day. I'll be back when I am feeling a little better. Hope all is well with you my friends. Take care and stay healthy  

I hope you feel better soon, Moonie.

Moonie, I hope you are feeling better soon

 

Yogi, my meeting went well. The client never messes me about and has a straightforward tax return.

 

Sorry to hear you're not well moonie, hope you feel better soon - eat cake is my recommendation
