I understand

Good morning everyone, wow Yogi I am so sorry to hear of what happened to your greenhouse.  I do hope it can be fixed but like you from the sound of it it does sound doubtful.  You must have lost some precious plants too, quite a blow to wake up to   I don't know what they are classing this as other than high winds but it surely has been the blowiest rainiest night, quite wild.  Loads of my windows are covered in bits of leaves, it was tearing huge great clumps of leaves off together.

 

I hope everyone is safe and hasn't experienced too much damage to fences, roofs etc.

 

Be careful everyone if you have to go out, fallen trees, slippery leaves etc.

Squiggle, I think the weather may have seemed to be exceptionally wild as it's unusual for this time of year when there are leaves on trees, and it's more normal to happen when the trees are bare.

I hope there's been no damage to your property and be careful if you have to go out

Thank you EL You know my small extension had a leaking roof before so that was the first thing I checked when I came downstairs, dry as a bone thankfully.  It was also the first real test for my 'gutter hedgehogs' which I had fitted to my new gutters.  They are long lengths of bristles which sit in the gutter and allow the rain in but not the leaves, which just sit on the top of them and then blow away again.  So far so good, but I haven't ventured out yet.   How is your property?

Squiggle, I'm glad that so far you haven't found any damage

I'm not aware of any damage to my house or garden but the wind wasn't as strong here as elsewhere and I don't have any large trees.

 

Thanks Squiggle. I'm glad you and El haven't had any damage.

 

Thanks Yogi

Would you want to stay in a hotel staffed mainly by robots?

Not surprsingly, the hotel is in Japan.

I wonder if people will still give tips?

 

And what would those tips consist of do you think EL, maybe a can of WD40

Manet's Le Bar aux Folies-Bergere is to be sold at auction - could fetch up to £20m. But it's the first of two versions which is being sold.

rather than the second version which was done a year later:

The second looks better than the first and would be worth a lot more.

 

I like the paintings.

 

Hi Velvet.

I have apple tree envy! My garden is too small to have one.

Not for this one:

 I may have to get one of those.

As the Amazon link shows it to be out of stock:

Aww that little apple tree is so cute

I saw this colourful weather map a few minutes ago:

Good morning everyone

 

Some blue sky here and much less windy than the last 2 days

 

Yogi, I hope you have a good PB day

 

Good morning how are we all?
Hectic as ever here, but I do believe I've found somewhere to live! I've got some boxes, and lots of sorting & packing to do but will check in when I can

That's good news Summer

I'm off to see a client, back later.

 

Good morning everyone, good news Summer, I hope it really suits you.  Is it handy for work?

 

Enjoy your day with your little sweetheart Yogi, she will be sad to see your greenhouse but she will be pleased, I am sure, to help you when you have a nice new replacement.

 

I hope the client visit goes smoothly EL.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

I can see PB putting the pieces of the greenhouse back up using coloured clothes pegs to hold them together

 

Squiggle, the client visit went smoothly

That thought crossed my mind too EL I am glad all went well.

 Everyone. 
Hope you all well and the weather better where you all are. 
Sorry about the greenhouse Yogi. Hope you having a good day with PB. 
Glad you getting sorted Summer. 
Have a right stonker of a head cold. Nose running like a tap, very annoying. 
Maybe will get some sunshine soon to perk us all up. 
Have a good day xx

Skylark, I hope your head cold clears up quickly

It's decent weather here with a fair amount of sunshine and a bit warmer. Not expecting a heatwaver though that should mean I miss the thunderstorms forecast for Friday in the south east.

 

Hi El, thanks, not ill with it, as such just head buzzing. 
Yes i saw on the news about thunderstorms. Crazy weather we all having. 

Good evening all.

 

Had a lovely day with PB.

lol El, I think she would try to fix the greenhouse with clothes pegs, if I let her!

 

Good news that you think you may have found somewhere to live, Summer.

I hope the packing goes well.

 

Skylark, I hope the head cold lifts soon.

 

 

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. Night owl hugs.

Good morning everyone

 

Blue sky here today

 

Yogi, I'm glad you had a lovely day with PB

 

Skylark, I hope your head cold has lessened today

 

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is cloudy and there was a spit of rain when I was putting out some bird seed.

 

Grocery shopping awaits! I think some nice scones might land in my trolley today.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Yogi, good luck with your shopping Not sure if our main cake & scone consumer will be here to grab one of your scones as he's been absent for the last week.

 

Good morning everyone, I think its forecast to be a nice day here today, I do hope so.

 

Skylark sorry to hear you have such a stinker of a cold and I hope that maybe you feel a little brighter this morning

 

Happy grocery shopping Yogi and have a good day whatever everyone is up to

Many Gloucester Rugby fans boast how close they were born to Kingsholm Stadium but Theodore Bluett looks to have defeated them all.

Pluto's moons wobble:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/scie...environment-33005898

In Greek mythology Pluto was the ruler of the underworld.

Pluto has 5 moons. The biggest is called Charon (the ferryman in the underworld). There's Kerberos (Cerberus was the 3 headed dog guarding the underworld) and Styx (that's the name of the river on which Charon ferried the new arrivals across). Hydra is another one (another guardian and was multi-headed). The fifth is Nix (Nyx was Charon's mother and was the goddess of night).

 

 <- leaves some scones to try and tempt Moonie back.

 

Afternoon all, just a flying visit.
