No Yogi I am being very good

 

You have had a good day, well done especially on getting the lawn done, that would have seemed improbable first thing.

Well done on your restraint, Squiggle.

This morning, I would have said there wasn't a hope of cutting the grass. I still need to do some weeding in the borders but that can wait till the next sunny day - whenever that might be! 

 

 

Not surpringly, the clients I saw this morning (husband does farm fencing, wife does catering) are among my more favourite clients - hospitable and nice people.

I too had a rock cake, and a young man who was doing some work on their shower had one as well. Still warm from the oven. Yum

 

My very old HP printer (I bought it in 2001) decided to call it a day whne I installed a new cartridge - grinding noises and flashing lights. Pointless trying to get it repaired, probably can't be and I would be wasting time and money. Already had bought another HP printer last year so am now using that.

Got a small supply of unused unopened boxed HP original cartridges for the old printer and those cartridges are still within their warranty period.

So I've been in touch with HP to see if there's any chance of some sort of exchange of cartridges for the new printer in place of those for the old one. It's obviously discretionary on their part so I mightn't get anything but at least it's worth trying. (Bought the cartridges from Viking but their return policy is 30 days from when bought and it's too late for that). I'll let you know what I hear.

 

 

No-one was in this taxi parked near the park in Gloucester this morning. Damaged by a large branch coming down 100 feet off a beech tree. It was at the time when there was torrential rain. A few miles from where I was seeing those clients.

Ouch EL that's a total write-off!

Lucky there was nobody sitting in the car!

Ros, will it soon be half term for you?

Goodnight and sweet dreams. Hugs for the night owls.

night yogi

Nite nite, sleep well and have sweet dreams everyone

Good morning *sends lots of sunshine*
I'm having a wonderful, wonderful time my sister is lovely, we share a lot of the same personality traits and have the same eyes & hands. Her family are also wonderful, I'm very fond and proud of all of them already

Moonie That's a great result from the council well done you! I hope the damp will be forever gone, and your room will look fab all freshly painted - can you have a choice of colour?

El I'm glad your brother & yourself had a good weekend

Leaving good morning hugs for the girls of the group

Have a good day

Good morning everyone

 

It's going to be a breezy day here with sunshine and showers.

 

Summer, I'm glad you and your sister are having a wonderful time in Ibiza

 

I'm off shortly to visit my Hereford client so won't be back until sometime this afternoon.

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is to be a mix of sunny spells and cloudy spells. ATM, the sun is shining.

 

Summer, I couldn't be more pleased for you that it is all going well.

Enjoy every minute of your time together and take lots of pics to remind you of everything when you get home.

 

El, I hope it goes well at the client's today. Is this the client who lives where the flies are?

 

Sorry I missed you last night, Moonie.

 

Middle son and DiL have been away for a couple of days and will be popping in at some point today.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone, lovely to hear from you Summer, so glad you are having a wonderful time, thanks for the sunshine >>>>>>>

 

I hope all goes well with your client EL, I wonder if its a nice drive there and back.

 

It's very windy here Yogi and we are promised (threatened with) lots of heavy showers.  Have a lovely visit.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

 

 

Morning all. Glad you having a good time, Summer. You certainly have sent the sun, its a lovely day here
Got a few errands to do but hopefully back later. Have a good day

Good morning Buddies  

Started off sunny but now it's clouding over and we are promised a deluge at sometime during the day. Breezy and quite cool too 

Sweet, glad your holiday is going well 

Yogi, it was me who didn't turn up until late 

El, hope the trip to the clients goes well 

Squiggle, hope it you get some good weather at sometime today 

Skylark, good luck with your errands 

Good afternoon everyone

 

I'm back from the client at Hereford. Straightfoward client, and no downpours during my drive there and back

 

Yogi, it is that client who did until a year ago live in the middle of nowhere where those flies were. Now lives in town.

 

Squiggle, it's a pleasant drive though there's several miles of fairly sharp bends so I can't take much notice of the scenery,

 

Still a fair amount of blue sky though hefty showers are forecast for the afternoon, rather as for squiggle.

Skylark, I hope your lovely weather spreads to the rest of us

 

My brother showed me his holiday photos at the weekend and emailed me some of them. I selected some which were slightly out of the ordinary holiday snaps.

Some of them are from Copenhagen and some from closer home.

 

An ottter having a nibble at Copenhagen zoo.

Interior entrance of Vor Frelsers Kirke (Church of Our Saviour) with organ case supported by two large stucco elephants (the symbol of Denmark's Order of the Elephant).

And the same but taken a bit further back to show the organ.

 

They're changing Guard at Amalienborg Palace.

 

Hi El 

Glad your trip to and from the clients was water free 

 

Lovely piccies 

Back in the UK, the Tree of Life at Chelmsford Cathedral. Artist is Mark Cazelet and painted in 2003.

 

Finally, one of the entrance to Skipton Castle. It was taken last November and there's a mist in the air which makes the background, particularly in the top right. A touch of L S Lowry there.

 

Interesting comments by Simon Pegg (who was born in Gloucester):

http://www.theguardian.com/cul...mbing-down-of-cinema

He criticises the dumbing down of cinema over the years since the original Star Wars film.

 

I have thought for many years that the success of Star Wars was detrimental to Hollywood films and it paved the way for the greater emphasis on special effects rather than story and acting in films.

Odd coincidence that in the last couple of weeks there are 2 composers with links with Gloucester where there has been the discovery of some of their earliest compositions:

Herbert Sumsion (he was the organist at the cathedral from 1928 to 1967) When I was a boy and in the church choir I sung some of his music.

and Hubert Parry (famous for Jerusalem):

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32784314

 

Lovely pics El. I particularly like the Tree of Life window and the one of Skipton castle.

 

Safari is being a pain in the neck. 

First of all, it kept signing me in here, after I had signed out. Then when that stopped, I couldn't open a second window otherwise it signed me out of here.  That seems to have stopped and now the phantom signing in thing is happening again!

Off to bed, goodnight and sweet dreams.

Night owl hugs.

night yogi -enjoyed BB tonight

 Yes, things seem to be picking up in the BB house.

Good morning everyone.

 

The sun is shining atm. Not sure how long it will last!

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone

 

Forecast to be fait weather here today, generally warming up a bit. Yesterday evening was quite cold outside.

 

Yogi, the Tree of Life and the Skipton Castle photos were my favourites as well. I hope your Safari has stopped messing you around.

Good morning everyone, wow great photos EL.

 

Builders were here at sparrow's first cough, replacing the extension roof and the back door today.  My they have ripped the guts out of the old (hideous) roof I thought they would leave the centre beam but it's all gone.

 

Yesterday wasn't as bad as they forecast and today is dry and a little sunny, not a patch on what Summer is basking in though.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, it looks as if the weather is being cooperative for you as it looks as if it's dry all day and most of tomorrow (some patchy rain possible Thursday night into early hours of Friday).

It's turned cloudy here and there's been a very light shower but that doesn't look as if your area is at risk.

 

Afternoon all, lovely weather here, sun shining in the windows and highlighting the dust     . Once i have my 3rd cuppa, will get started!!
Lovely pics El x
Squiggle you busy , hope you bearing up! 
Hope Summer is having a great time. 
Have a good day all 

Skylark, I hope you have a good day as well

I'm keeping out of everyone's way Skylark, there's about 6 or 7 workmen out there and my grandson doing the ceiling inside.

Hi squiggle, yes thats always a good plan, unless tea and refreshments requested!  

Afternoon everyone

It's freezing cold here due to the wind and a lack of sunshine 

It looks like rain is imminent too 

Have a good day whatever the weather

Moonie, I hope the weather warms up for you. It's supposed to be getting a bit warmer in my area over the next couple of days.

Haha, a woman after my own heart! Hi Skylark.
