Good morning 
sorry I vanished yesterday, I've gone down with some sort of gastric bug, I ache all over and have had a bad tummy upset during the night. Luckily it's my day off anyway so I had a hot bath and came to bed.

Good morning everyone, so sorry to hear you are poorly Summer, I hope it's a 24 hr thing and you will soon feel better

Hi squiggle
Fankoo, well they do until there is food in the offing, then its every feathered one for themselves 
Have a great day 
Lol Star Wars fever is sweeping the nation
thank you moonie I've been asleep most of the day and am trying to keep hydrated.
i'm glad you didn't break your thumb or worse, I'm guessing the swans are not shy!

thank you moonie

That's certainly the best thing to do Sweet
Nah, it was just a nip attempting to be the first to the food
Moonie, I would be wary of hand feeding a swan, though in your case it nearly was feeding your hand to the swan
Summer, it's sensible to keep hydrated and I hope you feel a lot better tomorrow I'm not a fan of Star Wars but it seems that some of the new film was filmed in the Forest of Dean. The eastern edge of the forest is getting fairly close to the Severm and the stretch where the Bore occurs. I go past the Severn Bore Inn when I visit one client and it's about 7 miles away from where I live, so it's fairly local to me.

I knew what would probably happen El, if I wasn't quick enough and I wasn't
Its was just one of those "must try things" in life
But once bitten, as the saying goes
My mum once got nipped by a horse, I think it thought she had some food. She was ok but had a nasty bite on her arm for a time.
I like Star Wars I'm looking forward to the new film. It's nice when you know the locations isn't it

I like Star Wars
Yeah, you have to be careful with horses if they don't know you Sweet
sorry you are not well summer night yogi summer and moons
Good morning everyone
Very cloudy here and quite windy. Hasn't started raining yet but is forecast for much of the daytime.
Summer, I hope you are feeling a lot better today I should think getting bit by a horse could be rather nasty. Not the same, but I must have posted before about the time when I and my brother were young we were at Bristol zoo when a giraffe bent down and licked my brother's face
Hehe a giraffe?! That's funny
good morning it's looking like a bright start to the day here. I've slept all night and my symptoms have faded *touch wood*. I've starved myself for 36 hours and have just had a glass of milk and a cereal biscuit,
how ow are we all today?
Good morning everyone, I am so glad you are feeling a little better Summer, you certainly don't want to be ill this close to Christmas
That is so cute EL, I wonder what it was about your brother's face that made the giraffe want to lick it? I know some grumpy horses bite but it does sound like that particular horse was just over eager for a snack.
Rain and wind again, hey ho! I wonder what they will call the next storm Egbert, Eustace, Ethelred - place your bets now.
Enjoy your day everyone
Summer, I'm glad you are feeling a bit better today
It could be that if there was sweat on my brother's face that the giraffe was attracted by the salty taste. That's my guess.
Squiggle, all the names of the storms have already been announced, so it's known what the next one will be called. If you want to know, there's a list on this BBC page http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34578310. At the rate things are going they'll have to come up with another series of names.
Eva! Well all I can say is it's not as inventive as my selection Pah!
Hehe I like squiggle's Storm names better
morning squiggle how are you today?
Ever since the forum change, my predictor text on here has gone completely haywire 
I've managed to have a bath and wash my hair, and I feel ok. I'm now having a little rest. I'm so glad it happened when it did because I've had the chance to have a jolly good rest while I was on a day off anyway.

Or Ermentrude and Englebert. Your Ethelred would have been a better choice as in Ethelred the Unready.
See! We would have been much better for the job - shall we put our names forward?

I'm fine thank you, well as my friend said we always say that no matter how many little aches and pains and general niggles we have I'm glad you're feeling better but like Moonie said it's a shame not to have been able to enjoy your day off.

The GCHQ Christmas card brainteaser which has been in the news:
It's one of those shading puzzles. The numbers at the left and the top signify the number of black cells to be shafed in and there is at least one white cell between each set of black cells. The result is likely to be some sort of picture. The grid is 25 by 25. Some of the black cells are already shaded in as a start. Some of the rows seem quite easy to fill in such as the 7th row down starting with a 7 and the row near the bottom 1 3 1 3 10 2.

Off to read back.
Evening all
aw moonie sorry to hear you feel unwell, I hope I didn't cyber pass it on. Get well soon
el, it's a mystery to me. It only happens on this site and not on any other site or apps. I'm hoping it'll settle down the more I use it.
Yogi what adventures did you & PB have?
Hi Summer, I hope you're feeling better.
Apart from decorating the tree yesterday, we went grocery shopping and for some lunch today and then we made chocolate crispie cakes.
