hi - hope you don't mind me popping in - just saying hello

Good morning everyone

Hi, Rosgirl, and welcome . Pop in whenever you want - I was made welcome ages ago even though I didn't watch Big Brother.

Good morning everyone.
Lovely to see you in here, Ros.
El, no sign of the Northern Lights for me, I think there was too much low cloud.

Good morning everyone, and a special good morning to Rosgirl we like to see new faces .  Dull and dreary here today, let's hope it brightens up

Morning x  Hi Rosgirl x   Got my granddaughter today so that should keep me busy! Have a good day all xx
Re The Northern Lights....very cloudy here but will keep my eyes open x

Yogi and Skylark, I think it depends on where the solar flare arrived here as to if the Northern Lights would be visible. There may be some today, so there's still a chance, but unfortunately it looks as if the whole country is covered in cloud all day.

I have noticed over the years that where I live, if there is some astronomical event due that it is normally spoiled by cloud. The total solar eclipse, which doesn't happen very often in the UK, of 11 August 1999 was ruined for most by cloud, though I did see it slightly when the clouds thinned a bit. The closest we will get to a total eclipse, but around 80% rather than complete, is on 20 March 2015. We have a long time to wait before the next total eclipse - 23 September 2090 - don't hold your breath for this one

Don't think I'll be around for that one, El.

Good morning Squiggle
Good morning Skylark, have fun with the wee one.

Hide the crayons Skylark! Morning Yogi

Channel 4 said today that Breakfast at Tiffany's would now be shown on Friday 4 March. My guess is that because of the tradedy last Saturday at Newbury racecourse with the meeting being called off due to two horses being accidentally electrocuted so Channel 4 had to cancel their coverage and decided to show today's horse racing at Newbury instead.

That makes sense, El. I'll try to remember to record it on the 4th of March.
I wonder why those poor horse were electrocuted, but the people in the ring weren't?

Good afternoon everyone.    It's dull and miserable here today and the forecast for tomorrow is rain from start to finish. 

Hubby is working from home today so I've not had chance to get here sooner.  Probably won't be about much over the weekend either.

It is nice to see Rosgirl in our lttle thread.  It's always great to have new people pop in.

Will catch up with you all as and when I can.  Have a great weekend whatever you are doing. 

It could be because the horses would have metal horseshoes which would conduct electricity. I don't know if the jockeys were on the horses or not as this happened in the parade ring before the race was called. Apparently the area this happened is grass covered rather than tarmacked or rubberised as other racecourse paddocks are, so that would give a greater risk of electric shock if there was a faulty cable undeneath, particularly if the grass was wet.

And I have also seen that the race meeting this afternoon was the rescheduled meeting from Saturday, so my guess re Breakfast at Tiffany's being rescheduled seems very likely.

I did wonder if the horseshoes could have been a factor, EL. Those poor horses, what a horrible thing to happen.
Enjoy your weekend, Joyron.

Hi all x  Thats the wee one away, phew is all i can say
What a shame for those horses

Hi Skylark, has she tired you out then?

Hi Yogi, yes she has ! She,s like a mini whirlwind x

They have so much energy at that age, don't they?

Didnt help with my sister giving her a huge bar of chocolate , then saying she was off home! Very kind of her

That's the kind of thing my dad would do.

Hi Skylark and Yogi.  What did the little one want to do today Skylark?

 Had to put the dog in my bedroom as she was insisting she was to have some too ! Dog was not amused with me !

Its not easy to tell a dog that chocolate is not good for them is it?

Hi squiggle, no its not

Hi Squiggle.
Skylark, poor dogs, they don't realise that chocolate is bad for them.

They have just put that advert on with the little boy showing a dog how to eat an Oreo, the poor dog's face

Poor dog, as he waves the Oreo about near it's face.

We went to the park for a bit, but the slide and swings were wet, so we came back and played cars, she loves them and has loads. Dolls bore her. Some very supervised drawing! Then a DVD so grannie could have a cuppa (Stuart Little) My son was in , so she climbed around him for a while!

I know

Your son is really good with her.
@ the "supervised drawing".

I thought that about the 'supervised drawing' I remember when my grandsons were small and were drawing at the dining table.  I was standing down the other end of the room and the eldest one turned round to talk with the pen in his hand and then casually drew it across the back of the dining chair (upholstered in white brocade)

Oh no Squiggle! Was your face like this or like this ?

I think it was more like this Yogi took me ages to get it out again

Oh dear squiggle    My son is very good with her, he is very tall and she thinks he is a climbing frame

Oh bless

Have you reminded him of this act of vandalism, now that he's grown up?

He sounds really patient with her. I bet she's got him wrapped round her little finger.

Got to pick up No3 son from the station (again).
I really need one of those big, neon TAXI signs for the top of my car.
Be back later.

No and I just said be careful at the time, I don't think he even realised he had done it, it was just a casual thing, I don't even think he thought about the pen in his hand.

She has Yogi, he had her rapping today! I said to watch out and not put rude ones on

You are a lovely mum Yogi, I hope he appreciates you
