Thanks El x Yes i am the same, chuck it out, if in doubt. I dont like wasting food either, but not worth it to have a bad tummy.

Yogi, please tell Keira i understand, her Auntie Skylark didnt behave too well at the the hospital appointment either, i was a bit sick on the Consultants lovely leather shoes  . Well thats what happens when someone with vertigo gets spun around !! 

 Thanks El, I hope so too.

According to my previous consultant, GPs can be a bit quick to stop this particular tablet, so I shall mention this carry on, when I see the specialist nurse at the end of the month.

 

I shouldn't laugh, but 

Thanks Squiggle.

Are you due any visits soon from the baby?

Well got to laugh, nothing else for it, wasnt funny at the time i can tell you! 
Aw you had a rough time, Yogi, hoping all gets sorted out for you x
Hi squiggle, as El says my medication, Prochlorperazine, only a temporary measure . I wont go into a long winded explanation. I have anti sickness tabs though, which i can take should a dreaded attack happen x

I'm off out to see those clients. Unlikely I'll be back on here today so I wish you all a good evening

Take care x

Yes Yogi hopefully on Friday.

 

I hope all goes well EL and there's not too much of a hold-up in the traffic.

Granddaughter away today with holiday club to see the Kelpies in Falkirk. They are rather magnificent, shall post a pic, but it doesnt give them justice They are huge, plus a lovely day out. Picking her up shortly, so will say have a good evening all xxx

Good evening it's actually a gorgeous sunny day here for a change and I've had my tea outside in the garden! I've been to drop my books off at my accountants too.
El- is it worth my telling them that I've bought a car recently?

Oh no! Poor uggie he was so lovely

Big hugs for moonie, I hope you soon feel better, we miss you when you're not around
And skylark you too because that sounds rotten! I hope it's productive though and a positive outcome occurs

Yogi, you make me chuckle I do hope you've got cake in stock for during the bake off tonight I've bought a big cookie

Squiggle, I hope you're having a good day, your positive attitude in tough times always inspires me

 Not long to wait.

 

Fabulous sculptures. I've never seen them close up.

 

 

I'm still trying to stay off cakes and other goodies atm, so it will be a cup of tea and a Ryvita for me.

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. Night owl hugs.

night yogi

Good mornng everyone

 

Very cloudy here. Dry at present. Rain is forecast but it mightn't be the deluge here as previously forecast.

 

OK meeting yesterday at the clients and could have got another member of their family as a client.

 

Skylark, those Kelpies look amazing

 

Yogi, you are being very good sticking to a cake free diet

Thank you Summer.  What a lovely lovely post, I like the fact that you always have a good word to say to everyone Enjoy your big cookie.  Just those words remind me of taking our grandsons out for breakfast when we went to Florida.  They had new bright orange trainers which caused quite a stir as they didn't seem to have been seen in the US at that time, the younger one's with the flashing lights.  And they were always given a ginormous cookie each to take home with them when we paid.

 

Very very chilly this morning, I always think of the poor holidaymakers down here trying to enjoy the school holidays, especially the campers, when it's this cold and miserable in August. The room thermometer reads 20 but it feels much colder than that to me.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Happy Elephant Day everyone

 

What a fabulous pic, I love it!

 

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is sunny - today might be our Scottish summer.

 

Grocery shopping (no cakes for me) then some gardening.

 

Yay to a Friday visit from the baby, Squiggle.

 

Have a good day everyone, see you later.

Summer, I would mention that you've bought a car to your accountants in case it's of any relevance to them.

 

Squiggle, I hope the weather improves for the holiday makers. Oranges and Florida go together.

And a Happy Elephant Day to you as well

 

Yogi, I'm glad you are having some decent weather for a change

Good morning everyone it's overcast but pleasant here today.
I hope none of you in the southern counties have bad storms today and yogi I'm really pleased you finally have a summers day

Squiggle thank you you're lovely. I love the elephant pic!

Skylark's horses are fabulous, I too would be keen to see them

El, thank you, I'll email the accountant right now

Thank you Summer

It looks as if it's the south east moving up through London and East Anglia which gets the heaviest of the rain though there's likely to be heaviest rain almost anywhere in England and Wales. Nothing yet here but it's just a question of when rather than if.

 

Stroud's new cycle lane

I know you will all enjoy this story but I know that you especially Yogi will love it

 

 

 

 

James Crane worked on the 101st floor of Tower 1 of the World Trade Center ... He is blind so he has a golden retriever named Daisy.
After the plane hit 20 stories below, James knew that he was doomed, so he let Daisy go, out of an act of love.
She darted away into the darkened hallway.
Choking on the fumes of the jet fuel and the smoke James was just waiting to die. About 30 minutes later, Daisy comes back along with James’ boss, Who Daisy just happened to pick up on floor 112 on her first run of the building, she leads James, James’ boss, and about 300 more people out of the doomed building.
But she wasn’t through yet, she knew there were others who were trapped. So, highly against James’ wishes she ran back in the building.
On her second run, she saved 392 lives. Again she went back in. During this run, the building collapses.
James hears about this and falls on his knees into tears.
Against all known odds, Daisy makes it out alive, but this time she is carried by a firefighter. “She led us right to the people, before she got injured” the fireman explained.
Her final run saved another 273 lives. She suffered acute smoke inhalation, severe burns on all four paws, and a broken leg, but she saved 967 lives.
Daisy is the first civilian Canine to win the Medal of Honor of New York City.
Pass it on to all animal lovers.

To sleep, perchance to dream; aye, there's the rub:

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,

Hahaha, they should name the chump who thought that was a good idea.

 

I love that story, Squiggle, thank you so much for posting it.

What a truly fabulous dog Daisy is.

Interesting link, El.

Love the quote from Hamlet (if my memory is correct).

I've mowed and strimmed the lawns again. I need to do it when I get the chance!

Sitting with a nice cold glass of elderflower cordial now - it's lovely!

Well done Yogi

I had some gooseberry and elderflower cordial once and that's very nice.

 

You are correct with the first quote being from Hamlet (from the To be or not to be soliloquy). The second quote is from the epilogue at the end of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Gooseberry and elderflower sounds lovely.

 

I read Hamlet for Higher English, so that's why I recognised it.

 

I've never read A Midsummer Night's Dream, but the second quote is familiar too, so I must have read it somewhere before.

 

I took Keira for a short walk, it's far too hot to take her far today.

Yogi, there have been film versions of Midsummer Night's Dream so you may have seen one of those. There was the Kenneth Branagh version which had Michelle Pfeiffer in. There was also a black and white 1935 American version which had people such as Dick Powell and James Cagney in and the character of Puck was played by Mickey Rooney. It's quite an odd film as you can imagine but it does have some charm in it and is better than you might think from that cast.

 

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. Night owl hugs.

night yogi

Good morning everyone

 

It's raining, been raining since just after midnight and forecast to continue until the evening. About 40mm is quite likely at this rate. Could be the wettest day of the year but nothing like the local floods back in 2007.

I'm not expecting to need to go anywhere today.

 

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is back to normal today. It's cloudy with rain forecast.

 

Good job you don't need to go out today, El.

 

Ironing and housework awaits. Have a good day everyone.

Yogi, at least you had one day of summer this year

 

Good morning very wet here today! Bramble and I still had a lovely walk this morning though- it smells gorgeous being out in the rain

Loved that story about Daisy, I have heard it before but it still chokes me up. She absolutely deserved that honour

Are you all coming to the wedding party this afternoon?

Good morning everyone, we've had lots of rain but probably not as much as you EL.  Still very murky out there but drying up a bit, I hope.

 

I hope the baby visit is still on as my grandson had that sickness bug return this week, it sure is a nasty bug and I have heard it has struck all over the country.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

I thought this was a bit special, hope you enjoy it on this rather dull Friday morning

 

 

I'll be visiting the wedding thread.  

I hope the weather stays dry for Mr and Mrs Smurfy.

I hope your grandson gets well soon, and that the baby visit goes ahead.

I enjoyed it, Squiggle. I liked Westlife and Boyzone.

The rain has currently stopped here after 25mm today but it looks as if some more is expected this afternoon.

2 days of rock music 300 yards from where I live this weekend (though not after 10.30 pm) at the annual Sportsbeat festival. It gets announced weeks before so I can warn my brother not to visit me then as attempting to have a conversation would be pointless.
