Good morning everyone, a beautiful morning but it is certainly cold.

 

PB sounds such a happy sweet soul

 

Perhaps they will be able to sort the posting problems out now that they have a bit more information, here's hoping.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

As squiggle says I hope they can sort out the posting problems.

I've noted on Yogi's thread that it's probably a coincidence but the three members who have reported the problem are the three highest ranked members.

 

 We're getting booted out for being too chatty?!

It was happening to others too, El.

I almost forgot to tell you, when we were coming back from the park, she announced she'd like a tattoo!

She is a happy wee soul. The only time she gets a little bit cranky is when she is tired.

  

Morning all

Two piccies for you 

 

 

 

 

 

The top piccie is from the start of what this guy usually puts up for the Christmas period. I will try and get a piccie when they are all up 

 

The second piccie, well what do you see?

Moonie, there's a house in a nearby road which does lots of external Christmas decorations each year but I don't think they start this early.

The hedge in your second photo might be an attempt at the Loch Ness monster

A NASA video released today of Jupiter's red spot - best seen full screen.

He's starting early!

 

I see Nessie, or some sort of dinosaur.

The winning photo of the Birds section of the Wildlife Photographer of the year:

Amir Ben-Dov (Israel) is the "Birds" category winner. He spent five days shooting these red-footed falcons. This image came from the last five minutes on the fifth day.

 

the overall winning photo is gruesome so I won't post it. You can see it on this link but it's really unpleasant.

That's a great pic.

I didn't like the fox pic or the "broken cats" one.

Neither did I, Yogi which is why I didn't post those photos

Re my piccie...

 

El and Yogi, yes and yes, yes 

I can also see a really friendly dragon 

Lovely piccie El 

Wow! Santa!!!!! I love it, thanks moonie I saw Nessie in the second pic

I thought the photography competition pics were incredible, it amazes me how the judges manage to pick a winner

Back from a client, straightforward tax affairs.

 

Hi Sweet  

Hope you aren't working to hard after your holibobs 

Yep, seems to be a mixture of a lot of beasties  

How are you getting on with your "marathon" client El? 

I'm about half way through. Gone through the boxes of accounting records. i'm hoping to have done the majority of the work by mid November (I'm not working on that client the whole time as I have other clients work to do) and have a end date of end of November in mind.

I don't know how your mind copes with all those figures El 

Evening Buddies  

I hope you had a good day, mine was okay  

Popping in to say goodnight everyone.

PB is coming tomorrow for a sleepover so I won't be around until Friday night.

Sweet drema everyonec

Awwww have a lovely day with PB tomorrow Yogi 

Hope you both enjoy the sleepover 

Nite nite, sleep well and have sweet dreams  

Popping in to say goodnight too- I've been out having a good catch up with a good friend tonight

Sweet dreams & night owl hugs for moonie & Ros
Goodnight hugs for yogi, el, squiggle & any other visitors

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here, low risk of a bit of rain.

 

for Skylark. Summer, She did post while you were on holiday and is OK but busy with family matters.

 

Yogi, I hope you have a good couple of days with PB

Good morning everyone, a few white clouds but I think the forecast is dry, much colder though.

 

I wonder what adventures you will have with the wee one today Yogi, it will soon be time to write to Father Christmas, I wonder what will be on the list.

 

I must go in search of noisy books for the little one in our family, he has a sit-in walker now so he whizzes about looking for things to grab (and put in his mouth ) Noisy books were very popular when his Dad and Uncle were small I recall.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

 

Squiggle, good luck with the noisy books

Off to see a client, back in a bit.

 

And I'm back. I've been to junior school this morning. Had to walk some distance as the infants school had been having a service at their local church (not mine) with their parents who had parked their cars in the locality,

(I do the independent examination of the school's unofficial funds so was collecting the accounting records)

 

good morning/afternoon
A busy start here but all good

How are we all today?

Squiggle, thank you, I'll send skylark a message

Summer, busy here as well

I hope like me, that you are keeping your refreshments topped up El
Do you work with music on in the background?

Summer, I always have something to drink in the morning and afternoon with a cooked meal at lunchtime so do keep refrershed

Sometimes I have music, sometimes the radio on. Not all the time though. When I was working for the accountants I used to work for I don't think they liked it if people had music on.

 

I find I work better on my bookkeeping with music on in the background, not loud though, I think it keeps me relaxed
What radio do you like?

Summer, a mix of radio 4 and 5.

Tend to have cricket on when there's a match, or tennis, or some football (though more liekly if Chelenham Town's match is being broadcast),

On radio 4 just now they had a programme about time travel in science and cinema. They mentioned a film called La Jetée. It's a French 1962 short film (28 minutes). Black and white and essentially a series of still photographs. Powerful but very bleak and of more interest to those who like foreign arthouse cinema rather than mainstream cinema,

if any of you are interested though it scores zero for entertainment. Pointless watching it unless you see it right to the end.

I love that radio can literally bring us any subject matter
