Hi Velvet

All fine and dandy here

Hope all is OK up there apart from the feeble summer weather you've been getting.

 

Yay, hi Velvet!

All is well but you have been missed.

I can just picture it

 

Hi velvet

I see we could all get prescribed vitamin D tablets in the near future because of the lack of sunlight in this country.

 

 

 

So long as I can get mine in tablet form and not another blooming injection, I wouldn't mind too much  but I'd much prefer to see some sunshine instead.

*wonders if Moonie is really Thor*

Evening night owls yes my cold is all but gone, just a tickly cough to shift now

I hope you've all had a lovely day

 He might be.

 

I'm glad your cold is shifting.

 

How has your day been?

Thank you how are you feeling now that the course of injections have completed?

It's been a steady day thank you, I woke late and set myself into a panic because I knew my hair needed washing but I caught up with myself alright.
This evening was so nice I had my tea outside

I feel okay after the B12 injections. I certainly feel I have a bit more energy, but both the B12 and the Humira are supposed to do that, so I'm not sure which one is helping - maybe the combination.

 

I hate waking late, it knocks me out of synch for the day. I'm glad you caught up.

Lucky you, it was bright but too chilly for tea outdoors, up here.

Total fluke I think, it's been very cool most days lately.

That's great about your injections I'm really pleased to hear it. The extra energy will no doubt help when you look after PB when is she coming next?

It certainly hasn't felt like summer.

 

PB is coming tomorrow and I'm sure it's an overnight.

Yay! :clippers: and is she in good spirits lately?

Yes, she's been great and very cuddly too.

^ Lord knows what that smiley was supposed to be lol

Fabulous, I bet she's a sweetheart to cuddle with. Have you got any set plans with her? Or do you play it by ear, weather according?

I had no idea what "clippers" was.

 

We tend to play it by ear, depending on the weather. It isn't meant to be very nice tomorrow.

Wonderful, let's hope so so that you can have a lovely outdoor adventure

I said it isn't going to be nice tomorrow..

Oh poop, I read that all wrong, sorry yogi uh oh- does that mean pepper pig videos?

 It will mean Peppa Pig at some point but we'll try to take her somewhere too.

Hubby has bought her a Peppa Pig soft toy and I've got her some PP matching cards, so we'll be peppa'd to the max.

Summer, I am guessing you have Churchilled, so I'll say goodnight and sweet dreams. Hugs for any night owls.

peeps children in work like peppa pig - isn't there a peppa pig world somewhere -Cotswolds?

night yogi and summer

I'm not sure where it is, but there is a Peppa Pig World, Ros. 

Mr Yogi and I heard an advert for it on the car radio yesterday and commented that we couldn't eacape the little pig, wherever we go!

 

Good morning all.

 

Weather is rainy and miserable.

 

Getting ready for PB's arrival. It's an overnight stay so I might not be around very much until Wednesday night.

 

Have you seen Joe's thread about Cologne.

Good morning everyone

 

More cloud here then blue sky and likely to stay that way.

 

Yogi, I have seen the sad news about Cologne

 

I hope you have a nice time with PB

The PP world isn't in the Cotswolds, it's in the New Forest in Hampshire.

 

Summer, I think your non-existent clippers smiley was probably meant to be the clapping one

Good morning everyone, very showery here. EL fancy you knowing where Peppa Pig World is!  And you have solved the mystery smiley too.

 

Sad news about Cologne, always sad to lose one of our precious group I know she tackled her illness bravely.

 

Enjoy your day Yogi, even if it rains I know PB will bring the sunshine.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, I did need to do a google search for PP world

Good morning bright and dry here but very windy- my laundry will either be very dry, or be 5 miles away by now

Sorry I churchilled on you last night yogi, it happened so fast that I woke up laying on my phone this morning

Very sad news about cologne, I'll go look for the thread now

It's just as well I look on my local news website on a regular basis. Just discovered that the road very very close to me that I frequently use will be closed for resurfacing from the 12th to the 20th (apart from late evenings and the weekend). I'll need to use a different route but suspect that the quantity of traffic which comes down my road will be considerably increased.

 

According to my local news website there's been a power cut in Gloucester city centre near the main police station near the docks. Thousands of people and businesses affected and the local Wetherspoons couldn't operate tills or use the grill to cook food.

Although I'm on the outskirts and a couple of miles away from the centre my power went off for a time while I was having my lunch. Luckily I had saved my work on my computer before lunch so I haven't lost anything.

It seems that it's been the second power cut in the last 24 hours in Gloucester but I wasn't aware of the first.

 

There is concern that the bassoon may be dying out. Someone has arranged an International Bassoon Day to highlight the plight of bassoons, hoping that something will be done before they are no more.

If any of you has a bit of spare time, have a look at the wife (Brenda) in today's episode of Doctors:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/e...es-17-65-lady-brenda

The actress is Eileen Battye but to me she looks rather like Wendy Craig.

 

sad-love the sound of the bassoon

night everybody yogi a work colleague is in pepper pig world now -she has posted that it is fantastic on FB

*night owls* a late one for me; I've worked, walked the dog, been to yoga, grocery shopped, visited a friend on her birthday, made a curry while talking to my mum on the phone and got ready for bed- phew!

Plenty going on in your area El, I hope the road diversion isn't going to be too much trouble for you.

Squiggle I hope your internet is functioning alright

Yogi I hope you've had a fabulous day and that PB has settled down to bed nicely

Wishing you all sweet dreams

Come back soon moonie

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here, rain forecast for later.

 

Summer, I didn't mention with the roadworks that during them, there's another Sportsbeat festival on the local playing fields quite close to the road during the weekend which will merely add to congestion. I can understand the need for the road to be closed during the summer school holiday as there's a school on the road but it's poor plannning by the road people (the date of the Sportsbeat festival was announced many months ago).

 

Never make the mistake of asking for a marinara - which is a simple tomato and garlic pizza - with the addition of mozzarella in Italy, there's no such thing. Though you could ask for a margherita with garlic." (For those unfamiliar, a margherita is a pizza topped with tomato and mozzarella.)

And on the subject of food, don't forget it's black forest gateau time tonight at 8.

 

Good morning everyone, lots of high cloud but dry so far.

 

I didn't even notice the switchover to my new ISP - they said there was going to be a 15 minute period in which I wouldn't be able to get online but it must have been when I wasn't on the computer, so that's a relief.

 

Off with a friend to track down a ready iced cake this morning.  She is the widow of a minister and one of her old Sunday School pupils is traveling a long way to see her this weekend - she says to celebrate her birthday but it was back at the beginning of the year.  She still wants to celebrate it with my friend which is no surprise as she is the dearest sweetest person you could hope to meet.  There's no chance of getting a cake like that locally to us so we are travelling to the nearest main town and trying our luck there.

 

My you were a busy bee yesterday Summer well done.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, I'm glad the switchover to your new ISP went without causing any problems

 

I hope you succeed in your cake hunt today You may want to have a look online before you go as at least one of the cake shops where I think you are going is closed on Wednesdays.

 

Off to a local client, back later.
