Good morning everyone.

 

It's raining up here.

 

Summer, I love your Christmas cushion.

 

I had a really lovely time with PB and I miss her chatter when she isn't here.

 

Got a busy day ahead but I'll pop in later on.

 

Have a good day everyone.

 

 

Good morning I hope you all slept well

I've got friends from the south visiting the area, so am going to meet them today for a walk and some lunch

Yogi I hope you get everything done quickly & easily so that you can have a rest later

Same for moonie too

Good morning everyone

 

Very grey sky here though may stay dry for much of the day.

 

Yogi, I'm glad you had a good time with PB and get done what you aim to do today

Summer, I hope you have a nice time with your friends

Good morning everyone, the forecast is for rain today and much more rain tomorrow.

 

I hope your visitors have a lovely time Summer exploring the area and meeting up for lunch.

 

Hope all goes well with all you have to do today Yogi - I am sure you miss Little Miss Chatterbox when she goes home.  How is the bathroom looking and did PB like it?

 

Off out in a bit trying to dodge the rain

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Wow! Look at that sky

 

That's eatraordinary, squiggle

Morning Squiggle.

 

Yes, PB gave the bathroom her seal of approval, and she particularly liked the new bath. However, she did tell me that my toilet roll holder looks like a metal detector.

Good morning El.

Morning Buddies

Though not that bright here yet, its definitely looking better than yesterday already 

 

Yogi, really pleased you had such a good time with PB. Did she help the tilers?

Was she satisfied with the results?

 

Sweet, I hope you have a lovely day with your visitors  

Did Bramble act as your doggy warmer again last night?

 

El, hope you manage to stay dry today, the weather I mean

Did you finish that mahoosive accounting job yet?

 

Squiggle, good luck with the rain dodging though I think it will be a futile attempt

Love that piccie 

 

Off out to the bank and shopping as soon as I can get myself into gear
Toodles for now

 

 

 

Morning moonie

 

Although I've done most of the work on my huge job, there's quite a lot of bits and pieces to do to complete it.

 

I hope the weather stays OK for you when you venture out

Hi El

Weather is okay.Banking and shopping done. Back home, even put some washing out 

 

I would think the bits and pieces are worse than the whole

Moonie, well done on surviving without getting wet

 

The bits and pieces won't take me a long time but tend to drag on while I'm getting the info from the client.

Ta muchly
Let's hope you client is forthcoming and PDQ too

Thanks moonie

 

I am amazed that she even knows what a metal detector looks like!  She is such a funny little sweetie

I was very lucky moonie, I saw plenty of rain but managed to dodge it all Wasn't I lucky?

Squiggle, you were lucky

Well done Squiggle. Excellent dodging  

Nah, not luck just sheer skill

It'a been known for ages that the threshold for prosecuting sppeding drivers has been based at 10% above the speed limit. The Association of Police Officers' guidelines say at 10% + 2mph so for 40mph that's 40 + 4 + 2 =46. It seems that it's not applied consistently across the country and it can vary between 46 and 49mph.

I would hope that on say a 20mph stretch of road going past a school that the tolerance would be a lot lower. Having said that, the road which goes past my church and an infants school is a 20 mph road with some speed humps and although I never go over 20 mph there, I know that most drivers do as I see them getting further away from me if they are in front and getting closer to me if they are behind.

 

Evening everyone  

Hope you have all had a good day 

Squiggle, she never ceases to amaze me with some of the things she says. Only recently, she told us she wanted a pink telescope for Christmas, so she could look at the moon and stars. Son and DiL are quite pleased she has gone off that idea, as a pink telescope was proving difficult to find.

 

Off on my holibobs in the morning and I still have to colour my hair, so goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. We are supposed to have free wifi where we are going but (from previous experience in Lanzarote) it might be erratic. Hope to pop in when I can.

 

Hi Yogi  

I hope you have a lovely relaxing holibob. Take care and safe journey  

yogi have a lovely holiday night moons velvet and summer -if you pop in

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here and forecast to be wet later.

 

Yogi, I hope you have a lovely holiday and that the weather is good

 

For Skylark

Good morning all had a wonderful day/evening with friends yesterday and miss bramble and I have been given our first Christmas gifts! I had anticipated that and had theirs ready too

Hope you all have a good day, I'm due a busy one but will pop in when I can

Moonie- yes she did lol every evening, night, morning, lunch time...

Summer, can you look at your private messages ASAP

Catching up with the papers and I noticed Tom Graveney had died. I believe he lived out your way El Loro. Some of my earliest memories were watching him on BBC taking on Charlie Griffith. I feel old! 

Good morning everyone, huge menacing clouds and very high winds here so something tells me I am not going to be able to dodge the rain today quite so successfully as I did yesterday Never mind I have my trusty brolly to hand

Sounds like a lovely evening Summer, did they put a 'do not open until December 25th' sticker on your pressies?

 

Have a great time Yogi!

 

Enjoy your day everyone

For Skylark

 

I wasn't sure if it was being kept a secret but it seems not so...



Happy birthday Skylark!!!!! We hope you have a wonderful day

I had heard that as well. I don't know if he lived in my area or not. He went to Bristol Grammar School and although he was played for Gloucestershire cricket team for some years, the team is based in Bristol rather than Gloucester. There is talk of the team being branded Bristol for the T20 matches in future.

 

 

Happy Birthday Skylark. Hope you have a wonderful day

Afternoon Buddies

Managed to get out and shop before the rain returned 

Looking downright bleak now 

Have a lovely holibob Yogi  

Good afternoon moonie

 

The weather's bleak here as well. Rainy and windier than it has been,

He lived in Cheltenham!

Hello everyone, thanks so much for all your Birthday messages, very kind of you all. 
Getting my hair done shortly, a gift from my son, will be back later. I have been spoilt today 

Aw that's lovely, don't forget to twirl later skylark

Weather is bleak here too; foggy, cold and drizzly! What a shame for bonfire night

Skylark, it sounds as if you are having a good birthday

 

 

May your good day continue Skylark  

Thanks everyone....a slow hair twirl... getting old you know 

Hope you have all had a good day, and Yogi has landed safely
