Good morning everyone 
Some rain here this morning.
Summer, your weekend sounds hectic with doing your toe nails and brushing Bramble 
Yogi, are you having roast pork today
We finished Broken Sword 5 yesterday afternoon as I expected. It's a decent adventure game and felt much closer to the first 2 in the series. started Boook of Unwritten Tales 2 and are currently trying to get some moon water but the heroine's mother is being a bit awkward about it.
We settled on roast beef, as we wouldn't want to upset PB.
The bit in bold tickled me.
Afternoon everyone 
Another flying visit just to say 'hello' 
It's actually cold here today 
but set to get a very hot from midweek onwards like everywhere else...
Have a good day and see you again soon, hopefully
Hi Moonie, good to see you popping in. Hope you are back with us soon.

Good morning everyone, cloudy and cool this morning. I am definitely not looking forward to hot and humid weather later on this week and I feel for those in the far South East where the temperature is set to really soar. How hot will it get in your area EL? Not too hot I hope. It's the humidity I can't bear, like most people I suppose.
Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone.
Weather is dry and cloudy.
Squiggle, I loved the video clip.
Have a good day everyone.
Squiggle, fascinating clip. There are 2 DVDs from Animusic but looking at Amazon they are either Region 1/NTSC rather than Region 2/PAL and the region 2 version isn't currently available. They are on youtube though:

Your clip is from the first one.
On the BBC local pages today:
Organised gangs are stealing bank cards at cash machines using a distraction scam, police have warned.
A customer using a Barclays bank in Cheltenham High Street had £240 taken from his account after thieves switched his card for another.
Similar thefts, including two reported in March and May at Barclays bank in Southgate Street, Gloucester, are also being investigated.
Gloucestershire Police said people should report "suspicious activity".
The force said the scam involves an offender approaching a cash machine user and alerting them to a £10 or £20 note on the floor behind them.
A co-offender - who will have monitored the victim's PIN number being punched into the keypad - then removes the card and swaps it for a duplicate while the victim is distracted.
The offenders then leave the scene with the card, allowing them to withdraw money from the victim's account.
Det Con Andy Houghton said: "This is an organised crime committed by individuals who have no remorse for the often vulnerable persons they target," he said.
He urged people to shield their PIN when drawing money out.
Everyone.
Very warm and humid here, not liking it. I dont mind warm with an airy breeze, never happy!
Glad you had nice time with PB, bet the house is quiet now! Yogi x
GD away to Spain this morning, landed safely, still a worry with the recent events. Heatwave apparently looming there, 40 degrees Hotel has air conditioning but you dont want to be there all the time.
Thanks El, son getting his tax situation sorted, hopefully x
Love to all x
Skylark
You are not alone in not liking hot humid weather.
I hope your granddaughter has a lovely time in Spain. I think it depends where in Spain she's going as to how hot it will be. It may be that coastal regions are cooler than inland. That's what this Met Office picture shows:
So lower 30s rather than 40.
Thanks all . Had a few family issues to get thru the last few weeks. Bless you all , and thanks for your support x
xx
Have a lovely evening everyone x
Skylark, good to see you.
I hope your granddaughter has a lovely time in Spain, and that the weather isn't too hot for her.
Make sure you get some time to relax and chill out.

No bad Yogi
No up to much. Had a guest at the weekend that had me running around like a headless chicken
You do wonder if it is worth it but the house is immaculate
Guests always have that effect on me. I usually collapse in a heap once they have gone!

Going to have a bath and an early night. Goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet.
Hugs for the night owls.

Good morning everyone
Clear blue sky here and getting warmer. Tomorrow is forecast to be the hottest day though not as hot as the south east.
The latest Lloyds bank advert is rather good:
Song is called Wings and is by Birdy whose real name is Jasmine Lucilla Elizabeth Jennifer van den Bogaerde. When I saw that name I wondered if she was related to Dirk Bogarde whose real name was similar and he was her great uncle.
23.59 tonight is a time for celebration and for making new resolutions:

Love the "through the ages" theme in the ad.
Good morning everyone.
Weather is cloudy and muggy.
Eldest son is coming for dinner tonight (DiL is away on the second week of her training course and PB is staying with DiL's mum this week). Apart from that, no plans for today.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning everyone, it's one of those really rare beautiful mornings this morning, with a lovely cool breeze, I hope it lasts as I think it will get much hotter later.
I love that advert EL, it reminded me of Black Beauty, my favourite book when I was a child. I don't think I will be staying up to celebrate the extra second , I wonder if it will affect our computer clocks.
Enjoy your day Yogi and your dinner tonight.
Yogi, a PB-less week. At least you'll be able to recover from a surfeit of Peppa Pig.
I liked that "through the ages" theme as well and the horses, When I saw the advert on television last night I didn't know for certain that it was for Lloyds though the black horses made me think it was likely.
Squiggle, I'm not surprised the advert reminded you of Black Beauty.
It's possible that the leap second will cause computer problems though more likely on websites rather than on personal computers. It may mean that some sites have temporary problems as a result, So if you finf tomorrow that some sites are down it could be the cause. Google and Amazon intend to make each second today fractionally longer on their systems so that they don't need to build in an extra second.
A rose called the City of Gloucester rose, thought to be extinct, has been found in a garden hedge on the outskirts of Gloucester:
