I'm sure th decs will look lovely.

 

yes, today was son's day off. He's coming up at the weekend to help hubby decorate the hall and stairs. Just some painting.

 

No PB tomorrow as DiL is off this week, but I'm going out for afternoon tea with them on Thursday.

I'm wilting, so I'll say goodnight. Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie, Summer, Velvet and Ros.

aw! I'm wel jel- I love afternoon tea sounds like a wonderful plan.
What colour are you painting the hall?

Nite nite Yogi, sleep well. Sweet dreams  

Sweet, did you see me swan video? 

those dragons are awesome EL -love places like this

night yogi moons summer velvet

I shall peruse it tomorrow Yogi 

Nite nite Rossss, sleep well. Sweet dreams  

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here, not much rain forecast.

 

Yogi, afternoon tea with PB tomorrow, something to look forward to

 

Another client meeting for me this morning, nothing complicated, just routine.

 

Good morning and apologies for my churchilling last night I hope you slept as good as I did

Moonie, those swans look like shamed exiles lol I love the leaves on the ground and the beautiful cygnets colours too

What are everyone's plans today?

El, I hope your meeting is smooth & straightforward

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is dreich! 

 

El, I hope the meeting with your client goes well.

I'm looking forward to afternoon tea tomorrow with PB and DiL. PB makes me laugh so much, I wonder what little gem she will come out with.

 

Summer, you may remember we painted the hall a few years ago and I chose a pale green colour, which was darker than anticipated and everyone else hated!, so I'm lightening it up with Apple White, which only has a mere hint of green. It means I don't need to change my carpet or anything of my other green accessories.

 

Have a good day everyone.

 Everyone

Sorry i havnt been keeping up with you all lately, been busy with the family and spending days with my daughter. All well.
Hope you all well. Have a good day

Hi El, 

Good luck with the client 

 

Hi Sweet 

Thought you had churchilled last night. Not a problem 

It made me laugh how the one swan walked around the rubbish bin but the other one didn't 

i'll post a cygnet video I did yesterday, later 

 

Morning Yogi 

*consults book of Yogi's words and phrases.*

A B C D, ahh right 

I hope you, PB and your DiL have a lovely afternoon together. I'm sure there will be more than one gem from PB  

 

 

Have a great day everyone

Blimey that's huge post  

Off to my client. Straightforward though I've reason to believe that his parents in law are ill as they were on the church sick list.

 

 

Good morning Skylark 

Good to see you around again. Family is much more important than forum 

You take care and see you soon  

Good morning everyone, just bleeuh describes my weather to a tee I think, it's definitely not dreich nor is it pleasant.

 

That sounds the perfect colour for your hall Yogi   Summer that's a good description of those swan bullies, the bird world is a tough old world.

 

I hope life is treating you well Skylark.  Sounds like a real treat on Thursday afternoon tea + PB, you will have a great time I am sure.

 

Fascinating to watch opposite me on the other side of the valley.  There is a house directly opposite mine, halfway down the valley like me and I think it's recently changed hands.  They are actually making a garden out of the hillside below the house, they have a digger and a dump truck there now cutting terraces.  I am sure I shall find it interesting to see it take shape.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Hi Squiggle  

 

The nasties had gone when I went up the park yesterday. The family where swimming around happily together. Even the male swan was back to chasing the geese off the pool again, as he has done all summer  

 

Have a great day  

Thanks moonie and you, very good news about the swans

It is indeed 

For Sweet and all

 

 

 

There you go 

Back from that client. Parents in law are elderly, in poor health, and in and out of hospital. I said to my client that I was thinking of them, not that I know them as such but the father in law used to be the church hall caretaker many many years ago in the days I was treasurer and wrote out cheques to him. An unusual surname which is why I remembered his name.

 

Skylark, I'm glad all is well

Moonie, I'm glad about the swans

Summer, I'm glad you had a refreshing night's sleep

Yogi, I think apple white is supposed to be the colour of the flesh of an apple so just a hint of green as you say,

Squiggle, it will be interesting to watch the development of that garden. A terraced approach seems logical being on a hillside. The result could be quite spectacular.

 

 

The clip refers to this from 2011:

Aw what a lovely video moonie, thank you they look peaceful and graceful today

I've just got back from a lovely walk, it's a glorious day here. I came back loaded up with wreath supplies too unfortunately, bramble came home caked in fox poop so I've had to pop her in the shower to shampoo it all off.

Skylark, we have missed you, I'm glad your absence is a positive one

*wonders if I should have sang that post*

I think you would have done it better than that man

Thanks El

Fankoo Sweet

 

 Glad you enjoyed your walk with Bramble, though I would agree about the fox poop 

On the upside, Bramble will be smelling lovely now  

Squiggle, it will be good to watch that garden develop and grow.

 

Moonie, I love the swan video.

 

lol El, that singing is as bad as Mr Yogi's!

 

Skylark, good to see you here. Glad all is well.

 

Summer, you have my sympathy re the fox poo. Our first golden retriever used to rub her neck in cow dung! Thankfully, Keira doesn't do it.

Hi Yogi  

Did PB come today?

Fankooo, glad you liked the swans 

Cow dung? 

Probably worse than fox poop 

 

Keira is a sensible lady  

 

I think you're spot on moonie, Keira always strikes me as a very sensible little lady indeed.

Snow castle built every year in Kemi Finland. Opens in January and closes in April- before it melts. Isn't it lovely?

 

 

 

*coughs* I am Moonie with a big M now Squiggle *coughs*  

 That is beautiful Squiggle 

What a gorgeous colour.

 

Slaps my wrist - ouch - I am out of date - sorry - hangs head in shame

 

EDIT: to add  I am, however, still squiggle with a small 's' - touche

Also beautiful Squiggle 

Aww no need Squiggle 

 

I had asked for an upper case "M" because everyone seems to write it that way. Lori was having a technical problem with the change so said to her "okay please leave it then."

The she sent me a message on my birthday saying she had managed to do it and I never even noticed  

 

So you are not alone in not noticing  

Touché indeed squiggle with a little "s"
