Evening all.

I've been colouring my hair and doing some more wrapping.

Evening Yogi   

Did some wrapping yesterday and almost had a seizure with non compliant sellotape. And I used to enjoy it an all.

Evening Sweet and Moons       -   hope we're all fine and dandy     

Hi Velvet 

I had the same problem with the sellotape  the other day too Velvet. It seems to have a mind of its own sometimes 

Hope you have had a good day

Yeah mine was splintering or running all over the place. Sometimes, I was telling myself, nothing is easy     

To right too

I've got some wrapping to do tomorrow, I think I'm going to try sticking down the edges with Pritt 

Sounds sensible to me squiggle

Hi velvet I end up with lengths of cello tape dangling from the edges of my table

It's worth a try, Squiggle.

Did I mention my recent difficulty with superglue?

The little plastic knob which covers the ignition switch on my hob had cracked on the inside. We'd only replaced it a few weeks previously, so I thought I would try to superglue the cracked bit together. Unfortunately, the glue wasn't completely hard when I put the knob back on and the glue has set the ignition button so that it won't press down. 

I've got to say goodnight, my battery is low.

Many moons ago the gaffer thought she had found the hair conditioner whilst soapy eyed. Unfortunately it was glue in an unmarked plastic container under the sink. Comedy gold it was.

Noite Sweet  -  have a good day tomorrow   

 I bet that wasn't easy to get out!

Poor Boss!

That's exactly the sort of thing that happens to me! I think I've sorted something only to make it worse, will you be able to fix it?

Good morning everyone

Another cloudy day here, likely to get some rain this afternoon.

I hope everyone has a good day

Very good Google doodle today re Beethoven's birthday. He's having various mishaps and his  music is blowing about. You need to put the pieces back in the correct order.
http://www.google.com/doodles/...eethovens-245th-year
There are 4 snippets from his best known music. At the top is a play button to hear the music to help you.

Good morning everyone, very grey and a bit rainy, brighter this afternoon I hope.  It was pitch dark when I got in the shower at 7, it looked like the middle of the night.  My daughter got me to order her Christmas present for the baby, and it's being delivered today any time from 8 in the morning, that's why I was up a bit earlier than normal.  She settled on a talking teddy bear, very cute.  She had a talking Andy Pandy when she was small, much loved.

You are definitely spoiling those swans and cygnets Moonie, I bet they love to see you arrive

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, although I never had a talking Andy Pandy, I remember the programme from when I was very young. Although there have been more modern series of it made, the one I saw was the original.

The tunes are so distinctive that I remember them over 50 years later.

Good morning mild and overcast here today, I cannot believe it's only 8 sleeps until Christmas it's going so fast! 

By chance I saw the last half of a television film called A Christmas without Snow on the True Entertainment channel yesterday evening. It was made in 1980. It's a well above average television film, is not a carbon copy of so many of the Christmassy films, and isn't over-sentimental. Worth looking out for. It's about a church choir. There is a copy on Youtube but the picture quality isn't as good as seeing it on television.
The choir master is played by the late John Houseman. I remember him from a television series called The Paper Chase. Although there were a few series made, there was a gap of 4 years between the first series and the next series. It was set in a law school where he was one of the professors. That first series was exceptionally good and one of the most intelligent drama series I've seen. Houseman was magnificent in it,

Good afternoon Buddies  

Weather was okay. Washed, put it out. It's raining now. Fetched it in. It was out about 15 minutes 

Sweet, I knew we could reply on you to keep us on track for Christmas 

Back later or maybe soon  

Moonie, that's the great British weather for you. At least your washing wouldn't have dried much before the rain came. It's been raining here for a good hour now.

I'll look out for that movie because they're frequently repeated on true movies  

i I was really shocked to read about Downton's Michelle Dockery's fiancée passing away, that's so sad. She's such a lovely lady 

That's sad news Summer

I saw today's episode of Doctors http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/e...ies-17-161-perennial
The part of Renata is played by an actress by the name of Emily Forbes. It's very unlikely that the name will mean anything to you or that you've ever seen her as it's only the second television or film role she's done. I have an inkling that one day she could be a lot better known. So you might want to watch it in case I'm right.

El, it's absolutely chucking it down now. Still it is quite mild so we can't have it all ways, I guess 

Wrapping presents with Pritt works very well. Moonie are you managing to get your washing dry?

Hi squiggle 

The washing is over the radiators. It will mostly dry later 

I think I would rather battle sellotape than Pritt tbh 

As long as the washing gets dry.  I was quite impressed with the Pritt, so much easier than battling with sellotape.

I don't think it can be fixed, Squiggle amd I'm wary of fiddling around with it.

Evening all.

PB day today. Remember the story of Peter the Polar bear which was supposed to stay at our house, but ended up going home with her? Well, PB decided she didn't want to go to see Santa. Instead, she wanted to go to "Ikeena" (Ikea) to get another polar bear to stay in Granny and Grandad's house. So now we have Peter's twin, also called Peter, at our house.

She is a gem and she knows how to get exactly what she wants

Love "Ikeena" too

Good evening peeps
