Good morning everyone, sounds like sticker heaven at your place Yogi.  I am glad you got to see a shooting star Summer, I have never seen one but my grandson says he was watching loads of them recently.

 

Off to get some more paint soon and get my free car wash - my garage has a card and stamp thingy where every 6th wash is free.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is sunny but chilly.

 

Out and about today.

 

Have a good day everyone,

Morning all. Lovely day here.
Our schools are back today, so Granddaughter dropped off all shiny with her new school clothes on  Primary 3 now, can you beleive it, dont know where the time goes.
Have a nice day all

Good morning all
Bright and sunny here

Skylark how exciting! I bet GD looked smart and gorgeous bless her what are you going to do with yourself now that she's back at school?

P.S. Have a good day out yogi

Back from seeing a client. Sorting out her tax affairs, HMRC have done a tax calculation saying she owes them money. I reckon it's them who owe her money. She's the widow of a client I used to do returns for and is the same person I mentioned a year or so ago where HMRC had sent her a huge tax bill in respect of her husband evne though a previous self assessment tax calculation on the same income had resulted in a refund.

 

Squiggle, I don't think I've ever seen a shooting star either. I might have seen a UFO when I was very young (but it probably wasn't )

 

Skylark As you say time flies by.

 

El I hope she gets her refund, she really doesn't need that kind of stress the poor woman

Thanks Summer

My goodness that seems very early for schools to go back Skylark.  I sometimes think that the Inland Revenue plucks figures out of the air, I hope that poor lady gets her refund.

Has everyone recovered from that stomach bug now squiggle?

Really interesting item on the BBC website science & environment pages.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/scie...environment-33954763

A book with instructions and advice on dealing with bacteria in contaminated water in places like Africa and the Indian sub-continent.

But the pages in the book can be torn out and put in the water as they contain chemicals to kill of the bacteria.

 

That's amazing

So far so good Summer, it didn't seem so bad this time around and only lasted a day or so.

That's good squiggle, it's awful but at least it's over with quite quickly
What are you reading these days?

I'm heading off to a gentle yoga class shortly, some friends have decided to come with me and give it a try so I'm hoping they'll cope ok, they should be fine

Leaving a big hug for Moonie we miss you buddy

Evening all.

 

Skylark, time really does fly! Primary 3 already, it doesn't seem any time at all since she was in nursery.

 

El, I hope your client gets her refund.

 

Enjoy your yoga, Summer - do some stretches for me.

 

Squiggle, is your car gleaming, after its free wash?

Goodnight and sweet dreams. Hugs for Ros and any night owls.

night yogi

Good morning everyone

 

Some blue sky here at present, forecast to be the last dry day for some time in my part of the country.

 

It will take time for my client to get a refund as I have to write to HMRC rather than ring them. She's on their PAYE system rather than self assessment, and my agent 64-8 form has to therefore be posted to them rather than done online.

 

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is dry and bright today - followed by a week of rain!

 

This is hubby's first week of his official retirement (although he is going back part time) so we will be out and about today.

Shame the weather is to break down tomorrow as it's a PB day.

 

Have a good day everyone.

 

 

Yogi, I hope your hubby and you have many happy years of retirement together (or at least semi-retirement)

Me too, I hope that is a happy time for you both, maybe the forecast won't be quite as bad as they say for your lovely PB day tomorrow

 

Yes the car is all gleaming inside and out and my lovely grandson came with me so the tyre pressures are all correct now too Summer.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, congratulations on a gleaming car I'm glad your grandson checked that the tyre pressures were correct

Just did a quick mow of the grass in the garden, didn't take long as it hasn't grown that much this year due to the dryish weather this year.

If you ever wondered why the river Severn is so called, it's based on a legend as told by Geoffrey of Monmouth:

http://www.sacred-texts.com/ne...em/gem03.htm#page_36

Geoffrey of Monmouth was a Welsh cleric (approx 1100-1155 AD) and best known for popularising the tales of King Arthur.

 

Good morning it's a wash out type of day here, thank goodness I got my towels washed & dried yesterday while it was sunny

Yogi that's lovely, I hope you & hubby have lots of retirement adventures together

Summer, that was clever of you to get the towels dried yesterday

 

I'm off to see a husband and wife client just down the road. And I do walk there, I wouldn't drive that short a distance. It's to get their signatures on their tax returns (and my cheque ).

 

I got the clients to sign their tax returns without problem not that I was expecting any.

Also got a small piece of paper from them with a signaure on it. No prizes for guessing what I mean

Cut the grass today not that it had grown much as the forecast isn't that great from tomorrow for the next week or so.

 

Thanks El.

Thanks Squiggle.

 At your gleaming car, and your helpful grandson.

Thanks Summer. We took a trip to the seaside today as the weather was so nice.

 

Yogi, I'm glad the weather was nice enough for you to be able to go to the seaside

Well spotted as to what the small piece of paper was

Thanks El, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. Hugs for Ros and any other night owls.

aaawwww lovely yogi

night yogi CBB soon

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is still dry and bright atm, but rain is forecast for the afternoon.

 

Getting organised before PB's arrival.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone

 

At present it's fair weather here with some blue sky but it's forecast to become rainy by around midday.

 

Yogi, I hope you have a good day with PB

Everyone, lovely day here, typical when the schools are back!

Hope you all well. Got a bit of a busy day today,
Have a good day all, and a happy one with PB Yogi

Skylark, I hope you have a good day as well

Good morning everyone, it's been very rainy but is beginning to clear now - sadly it's moving your way EL and then up country   I hope by the time it reaches you Yogi and you Skylark it will be late afternoon and you will have had a lovely day.  Enjoy your PB day Yogi and your busy day Skylark.

 

I've just coloured my hair, it's nice to have that out of the way for a few weeks.

 

Enjoy your day everyone
