Hi Pirate.

 

 

hey yogi!

hows you?

I'm not bad, thanks Pirate. How are you feeling?

im ok ta

 

still keeping my teeth safe, the remainding ones that is

Hi Pirate, there was a monsoon here this morning for about 15 minutes - 5mm of rain in that time (which in an hour would have been nearly an inch)

 

Velvet, I think many people find 8.1 more comprensible than 8 though it will take time to get used to. You will need something like Dummies guide to Windows 8.1 to help understand it or look at various guides on Youtube.

 

 I'm glad to hear it!

gotta admit El-ive never noticed the difference with the latter windows updates, theyre all crap

or maybe im just not using my pc to its fullest

it'd probably blow up if i did

Off to grab something to eat, see you all later.

i reckon giving up baccy & using a vape has helped a lot-i get less infections/abcesses now

been 7months plus since ive smoked & i smoked a LOT

with changing the coils/buying the liquid costs me about £3.00 a week

compared to about £35 (probably more) a week before

Off for the evening, take care . Love to all, Pirate and Velvet too 

Take care, Skylark

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.

Good morning everyone.

 

Flying visit before PB arrives. She is staying overnight so I doubt I'll be around much this weekend.

 

Have a good weekend everyone.

Good morning everyone

 

Some blue sky here at present, but forecast to cloud over. Dry until later this evening when the rain sets in.

The're worth reading

Yogi, I hope you and PB have a great time

Me too Yogi, I am sure you will both have a ball, sleepover time

 

Grey skies at present and heavy rain forecast later, no nice weather to look forward to until the middle of next week.  I don't think I've ever known it this cold in late May.

 

This BB is not for me so this afternoon I am going to watch a highlight DVD I have of BB4 when Big Brother really was how it started out.  I watched the very first bit yesterday afternoon and they went in in ordinary clothes carrying their cases, no razamatazz and they were normal everyday people.  Of course that's the one with Jon Tickle and I had forgotten he's an identical twin so it was quite a shock to see two of them hugging each other before he went in, they really are two peas in a pod.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, this May does seem to have been cooler than in recent years. My central heating is still coming on first thing in the mornings and late evening which is a sign of that. It doesn't stay on inbetween times though.

 

 

Good morning lovely people it's a beautiful day here, things are looking bright and I'm in a happy happy mood
I promise I'll come catch up with you all properly soon

I'm glad you are in a happy happy mood

I am too

night everybody

Good morning it's dark & rainy here today, which is a blessing because I have lots to do around the house and if it were nice out, I would be too tempted to stay out with Bramble for hours

I hope you're all enjoying the weekend- what are you up to?
Work has been very busy this week with the school holiday, and pay day weekend. Things should calm down a little bit next week.

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy and rainy here too.

 

Summer, I hope things are calmer for you this next week

Good morning everyone, cold and rainy here too.  I hope things do calm down for you next week Summer.  I'm off to a different church this morning to hear an absolutely inspirational speaker, he is a vet but has led my local church in the past when they were between ministers. 

 

Enjoy your day everyone

There wasn't much rain this morning in my area and it could be dry for the rest of the day. Still cloudy and a bit breezy. Tomorrow afternoon and Tuesday forecast to be very windy and wet for many of us. A couple of near neighbours have gone off this morning for a caravan holiday. Just as well they are driving to Dawlish today rather than tomorrow or Tuesday.

 

Squiggle, I hope you found the speaker as inspirational as you had hoped. Trinity Sunday is just the day for something inspirational. For Christians, there is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, yet there is the one God. One of the great mysteries which we humans cannot hope to fully understand. One way is to think of water, ice and steam - three substances but all the same thing.

 

He was wonderful EL, I have a wonderful feeling of peace now, he really is in touch with the Spirit and brings the gospel to life in a very special way.

Squiggle, that's good to hear

This is going to sound silly when I know Big Brother is running at the moment, but I have just finished watching the highlights of BB4 and I really really miss Big Brother!  Having people you could really take to heart and get behind and support and vote and really want them to win.  They were such a lovely group of people, unforgettable and it was lovely to see them all again.

Squiggle, not that I watch Big Brother, but from what I hear of it I doubt if someone like Cameron Stout who won BB4 would want to be a contestant in it nowadays.

 

No way would he EL, I get occasional updates on him from a friend whose daughter lives on Orkney.  I know you don't watch but there were so many lovely people in the one I watched.  Names we still remember, as well as Cameron and Jon Tickle there was Scott, Steph, Ray, Nush and Gos.  The show's just not the same nowadays and I found myself unable to watch this time.  I watched the first night and didn't take to any of them and then thought I would try again but only lasted ten minutes or so.

Evening all.

 

I've had a brilliant weekend with PB. She helped Granny to do some gardening, although her idea of putting the pruned branches in a bundle was not the same as Granny's. She decorated another plant with coloured clothes peg - very fetching!

We made chocolate crispie cakes and did lots of drawings. She is always asking me to draw people in the family - not an easy task since I can't draw to save myself! I could have done without watching several episodes of Peppa Pig!

 

Squiggle and Velvet, I agree with you about Cameron and Rachel. I like nice people and prefer my winners to be nice. 

 

I hope everyone has had a good weekend.

 

 

I'm glad to hear it. Did you take a trip to the Kingdom?

A trip to Morrisons can do that to me!

Evening night owls
Yogi your weekend sounds like so much fun you've done so much!

Squiggle, I'm glad you've enjoyed the speaker, he sounds wonderful

Evening Summer. I hope you've had a good weekend?

I did thank you yogi I'm feeling happy and hopeful. I've been very productive too, it's time for a jolly good clear out

How is your evening going? Are you enjoying bb so far?

I too liked Rachel, that was a great year

 A good clear out is a good thing, you always feel better once it's done.

 

I'm not sure I can use the word "enjoying" with BB any more, but I'm still sticking with it.

 

The Rachel year was when I joined CH4 forums and found everyone!

 

 

Aw was it?!! and how lucky the forum was to have you join
Are there any decent housemates this year? I miss that variety of age/backgrounds that used to be thrown together

 

There are three who are not on my Hitlist, and that's it!
