night yogi summer EL and everybody glad you all had a lovely day

Good morning a pleasant start here today.
The sea air made me very very sleepy, I needed a 2 hour nap when we got home and then I slept heavily all night long too

El those cakes look delicious. I remember pong, my brother and I were very excited when that first entered our house

Yogi, what are pb's latest adventures?

Looks like another nice day here too. Lots to do. I need to visit the estate agents, re-seal a few things in the bathroom and attempt to reconnect the kitchen sink. Just for starters.
On a positive note I had the year end accounts approved and successfully de registered from VAT.

Good morning everyone

 

Clouding over here and heavy showers are forecast this morning.

 

Yogi, I'm glad you had a lovely day and Summer, that you had a lovely day at the beach

 

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is rainy and miserable.

 

I've been on the phone to my GP practice and it's fair to say, they know I'm not a happy bunny. They have miraculously found me an appointment to have my bloods done today so the doctor can write me a prescription for my tablets. This was after I threatened to contact my consultant at the hospital!

 

Off to get ready, will be back later.

Hi Joe.

 

Do you fancy a trip to Scotland to seal around my bath?

 at the news about the accounts.

Yogi, I'm glad you've been able to make progress with your GP

Good morning everyone, very rainy here but the garden is lapping it up and the valley looks very pretty as the trees soak up all the rain.

 

Well done Yogi you got your point across very forcefully and I am glad they responded so well.

 

Sounds like a lovely seaside trip Summer, I am glad you slept so well.  Imagine how sleepy I am living by the sea all the time!

 

That's a blast from the past EL, there were some fantastic games on the Atari we had such fun on our daughter's one.  She and her daddy made a brilliant team on Space Invaders, there were so many brilliant games, I recall we had a Wild West one with cowboys shooting each other which had us falling about.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, I think that game could be Outlaw:

I also remember Adventure, which was very hard and I don't think I ever finished it. Video clip of it - goes on for 10 minutes without finishing but it shows what it was like:

I was trying to remember the name of that game EL!!  I remember my daughter and I played it, she was very good but I always froze when I got chased (by a dragon???)  Did you ever play the Superman one, when he lost his magic power he had to find Lois Lane to get 'em back again

Outlaw that's the one, I think it was the sounds that made us laugh so much.

I thibk it was supposed to be a dragon in Adventure though it's many years since I played it.

 

I may have played Superman on the console though I can't remember it for certain:

My mother said that she was amused by the sounds those games made when she went past my bedroom

I miss retro games, so much more fun and far less violent & complicated than what the kids play these days

Yogi- great job on the docs how very strange that a magical appointment suddenly appeared I hope you get the prescription smoothly

Summer, I think that there are kids who play games which have an 18 certificate on them even though they are under age.

 Everyone
Hope you all well and had a good weekend.
Glad you got things sorted Yogi 
Very humid here today, its tiring.
Granddaughter away for family picnic with the other side of the family, and typical its raining. They back at school soon and i bet the weather will be brilliant sunshine 
Summer you will be pleased to hear i bought my first Christmas gift today  Was passing a local jewellery shop that was closing down and spotted a silver necklace with a lovely crystal stone. it had a reduced down price of £8. So i went inside, the chap said oh thats a mistake its reduced to £78, but if thats what it says our mistake and you can have it at that price!!! Well chuffed, so thats my daughters Christmas present sorted, well part of it, will look for earrings  to match, but probably not at that price, i bet!

Love to all 

Hi Skylark

Down here the school holidays have some way to go before the children go back to school.

 

That's quite some bargain. Well done on spotting it

Hi El, yes the school hols differ all over. 
Yes a good bargain, us Scots have a good eye , so they say 
Happy you had good weekend with your brother 

thank you Skylark

Do you want to know how to seal around your own bath Yogi? It was only this January I did some sealant work for the first time. It's easier than you think.

Hi, pardon me for answering, but would be obliged to have info too , thank you x

Yes please, I'm fed up waiting for hubby to do it.

What a bargain, well done Skylark.

Just what I was going to say Yogi, brilliant Skylark well done you

Apropos sealant!!

 

i was fed up of waiting for an expert and looked it up on that chooby thing.

Look up "How to use sealant" or that sort of thing-I'll check later.

 

Essentially you need a Stanley knife (other craft knives are available for £2 from Morrisons.

Sticky masking tape.

Sealant and sealant gun.

 

You need to remove the old stuff with the knife careful not to cut the wall or bath! you can also do it with a chemical method but it takes a while.

 

Line both sides of the gap with the masking tape leaving between 1/4" to 1/2"

feed the sealant along the gap. Then wet your finger and run it along over the sealant. Remove the tape.

 

have a plastic bag ready to put all the bits in and tape.

 

Otherwise it can get a bit messy.

Tommy' trade secrets. How to silicone a bath!! On YouTube. This isn't the one I used but he does it the same way. 

 

 

 Thanks Joe.

I note his gap is a few millimetres.

 

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. Night owl hugs.

night yogi CBB soon

Wow skylark an absolute bargain and a xmas gift- I'm highly impressed I think that was just meant to be

Sweet dreams to you all

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here though not expecting any rain.

Tomorrow forecast to be sunny much of the day.

 

Thursday and Friday currently being forecast to be very nasty weather. Major low coming from the south heading north, with the potential for very heavy rain and thunderstorms. Some sites forecasting over 100 mm of rain over the two days in my area, though others only an inch. Could be the main weather story of the year.

 

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is dry but cloudy, atm.

 

I need some nuts for the birds, so a trip to the garden centre might be on the cards.

 

Have a good day everyone.

 Morning all. Flying visit , have a hospital appointment, nothing serious just another look at my ear.
Yes, thanks all, what a bargain i had!
Have a good day all.
Thanks Joe

Hi Yogi and Skylark

Yogi, I hope you get what you are looking for at the garden centre . One of my neighbours has a rowan tree which at present has quite a spectacular display of red berries.

 

Skylark, I hope all goes well with your hospital appointment

Good morning and good luck skylark, I hope it's something easily treated

My evenings never go as planned lately; I intended to go to yoga and have a restful evening after, but ended up helping my friends son type up a CV. It's been years since I've done one and I really enjoyed it

I hope you've all got sunshine today, yogi- enjoy the garden centre

Met Office has now issued weather warnings for the rain on Thursday and Friday.

Affects all of England and Wales with the south getting the most. There could places which get 50mm of rain on Thursday and a further 70mm on Friday.

 

Locally, people in my area will be fearing a repeat of the July 2007 floods.

Good morning everyone, a lovely day here, not blazingly hot but pleasant. 

 

I hope all goes well at the hospital Skylark.  I wonder if you can resist plants while buying nuts at the garden centre Yogi.  My daughter and eldest grandson are on a chilli growing spree at the moment.  I bought them both a starter kit from South Devon Chilli Farm and the plants are sprouting very well.

 

I don't think the forecast is quite so bleak down here, certainly some heavy rain predicted Thursday night and quite wet over the weekend but it will be interesting to see if it changes to a more severe weather warning.

 

Enjoy your day everyone
