Good morning everyone

 

Blue sky here at present, forecast to be dry until it rains on Saturday onwards.

 

Haven't heard back from British Gas about the smartmeter readings though when I checked my account online I can see that there are some days with usage data but not all. So the data is getting through but it looks to be intermittent.

 

Yogi, I hope you have a nice day with hubby

 

Thanks El.

 

Do British Gas know what the problem is, and can they fix it?

Yogi, I haven't heard back from British Gas so I don't know if they've identified the problem.

 

Good morning everyone, dry but cloudy with a heavy dew this morning.

 

I think if it were me I would phone British Gas to get to the bottom of it EL, no point going through all that if your meter readings aren't consistently getting through.

 

I hope you and hubby have a lovely day Yogi.  I am certain the pairing of Kristina and Daniel was very deliberate, she did look a little taken aback.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, when British Gas rang me last Monday (early evening) they said they would email me with an update - est time 5 days. If that's 5 working days it would be too early to ring them just yet (and I suspect it would take me a long time to get through if I rang).

 

Make sure you keep an eye on the email coming though EL.  I'm with Sainsburys Energy which is basically British Gas and I find I can get through reasonably quickly if I phone at the right time.  For instance this morning would be a terrible time to ring as everyone will probably be reporting something from over the weekend.

Squiggle, I will keep an eye out for the British Gas email. A couple of weeks ago I discovered that a standing order for the gas hadn't gone through so I notified them. That was sorted out (a widespread problem affecting many of their customers). They rang me shortly after I had notified them of the smart meter issue about the direct debit. I mentioned the issue and they did put me through to discuss it. But I gave up after waiting quite some time.

Just popping in to say *hello* and leave you a video of the cygnets in the local pool. Two minutes down the road  

There is a different one in each of the threads I frequent 

 

 

 

Nice to hear from you Moonie and I hope things are relatively OK for you

Afternoon all it's been a steady start here today

Good to see you moonie we miss you! Thanks for the lovely video, I hope you're getting to see the swans regularly

I too thought that about kristina & Daniel, I've no doubt that's because of recent publicity but she's had a decent partner for the last couple of years so it's her turn anyway to have one of the lesser likely ones

I agree Summer, I like Daniel but I can't see him burning up the dance floor somehow.

 

Lovely to see you moonie, great video, aren't those cygnets huge now? Take care now

An article about a designer at Silicon Valley is quite interesting:

 Everyone
Hope you all had a lovely weekend.
Weather here has been very pleasant.
Nice to see you moonie, hope you keeping well. 
Not been watching CBB, but watched Strictly. Cant stand Jamelia, nor Peter Andre. I like Daniel , he lives near my sisters in laws at Donegal . They say he is a bit flash and drives around in a cream Rolls Royce, but a friendly and approachable kind of person. Staunch Catholic , so no nonsense there with his dancing partner 
Hope you all having a nice day 

Skylark, I'm glad you've been getting good weather as well as us

Hi El, glad you having good weather too, it does cheer to have some sun, and no rain for a while ! 

Just been watching Sky news, terrible situation with the refuges ....

Skylark, it is a terrible situation with the refugees.

I doubt if many of us saw this short clip from Wimbledon's wheelchair match. Needs to be seen full screen for best viewing.

Evening all. I've had a very busy day!

 

Moonie, good to see you. Love the swan clips.

 

Skylark, I'm glad you are enjoying the good weather we've been having.

I agree that Daniel won't be enticed by Kristina's charms.

 

 

 Well done that man!

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. 

Moonie, come back soon.

I'm shattered after watching tonight's CBB! Goodnight Ros.

night yogi and me - bliddy draining

Good morning everyone

 

A bit foggy here though should brighten up.

 

I hear we are going tp have the chance of suggesting names for the storms which hit the UK:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/scie...environment-34181468

 Certainly was.

Any suggestions, El?

 

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is dry but cloudy.

 

Housework awaits!

 

Have a good day everyone.

Yogi, no serious suggestions. The list would need to be in alphabetical order with male and female names alternating and they cannot be the same as names included on other lists from around the world.

This seems to be the main set of lists:

http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/...cp/Storm-naming.html

but there are other lists for things like the winter storms ised by the Weather Channel:

Good morning everyone, another nice morning, the forecast is good until Friday

 

I hope all goes well with the housework Yogi, I have some windows to clean today.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, I'm glad you have another nice morning. Here the fog has lifted but it's fairly cloudy though dry.

 

Good afternoon
It's foggy/drizzly here today, It won't be long before I get my gloves out.

Hi skylark hope you're keeping well

What are we all up to this afternoon?

I agree about the refugees, what on earth is going to happen with Syria..?

Summer, I'm working on some accounts at present. It's a charity rather than an individual.

 

ISIL's ultimate objective is to wage war against the army of Rome (effectively all those who oppose it) in Dabiq, a town in Northern Syria, which according to a prophecy will result in victory for them and the start of the end of the world which is ruled by them and those who share their views.

That's interesting EL, how does it line up with the final battle being in Megiddo (Armageddon)?

That's a question for eschatologists though Megiddo and Dabiq are the equivalent place for apocalypic battles though are in different countries.

 

Evening all.

 

I spent most of the day searching the house, looking for money I had misplaced.

I completely forgot where I had put it.

That's the last time I ever put money "somewhere safe".

I did find it, eventually.

Yogi, well done It reminded me of this parable:

Goodnight and sweet dreams Ros.

Good morning everyone.

 

Coudy start to the day.

 

Flying visit before PB arrives.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here as well.

 

Yogi, I hope you have a good day with PB

 

Congratulations to the queen at 5.30 pm today

Good morning and absolutely- I love the queen and I'm excited for her today

Interesting about the prophecy El, I certainly hope that doesn't come true. Who's prophecy is it, and is there various references to it through different places & religions??

Yogi, have a wonderful day with PB

Squiggle, how's your conservatory looking this week?

Summer, more information about ISIL and Dabiq on this chiiling article on theatlantic.com website. I've no knowledge of that site as to its credentials though.

http://www.theatlantic.com/mag...really-wants/384980/

 

Squiggle's reference to Megiddo is to the Book of Revelation, the last book in the New Testament. That contains a series of prophetic visions which contain references to Armageddon which is the Greek word for Megiddo.

 

 

Good morning everyone, I hope the housework went well Yogi.  I got my windows done, they were the ones in the conservatory and they really needed doing as I haven't done them since the roof was replaced.  It looks lovely Summer and I am thrilled every time I go out there.  For so long I had to put up with the roof leaking, and the insects (especially wood lice which I hate) getting in as the bottom of the door had gone rotten.  We had a large conservatory in our last house which my hubby was forever trying to stop leaking and I vowed I wouldn't have another house with the same problem when we moved.  Then we saw this house and fell in love, what can you do?

 

A fascinating topic about the various prophecies, I did some research after you told us about Dabiq yesterday EL which led me onto the prophecy about Damascus laying in ruins which has never happened in all its long history.  The one thing we can be sure of is that God has it all in hand, very comforting.

 

Enjoy your day everyone
