Good morning everyone 
It's cloudy here and has been raining, Forecast to brighten up during the morning.
I hope everyone has a good weekend
Cheltenham had a good win last nights beating Wrecham (3rd in the league table) 3-1. That puts them 5 points ahead of Forest Green who have a game in hand which is played today.
Good morning everyone.
Weather started off damp and grey but the sun is trying to break through atm.
Apart from middle son and Dil coming for tea tonight, I have no plans for today.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning everyone, wet and miserable this morning but forecast to be brighter later.
I hope your family tea goes well Yogi and that everyone else has a lovely day

In the clip, starting at 39 seconds is Vittoria Walk. I drive down that road nearly every time I go to Cheltenham. The state of the road as shown in that clip is like that almost the entire length of the road and has been like that for years. It's in the worst state of any road I know and maybe something will get done about it now.
VITTORIA WALK HAS BEEN RESURFACED 
And about time too 
Cheltenham won't be voting Labour 
FOREST Green Rovers have got the backing of Jeremy Corbyn in the National Conference title race, he revealed when he visited Dursley.
The Labour Leader of the Opposition called at the Littlecombe estate on the site of the former Lister factory, just over a month before the biggest local election in 14 years.
A vegetarian for 50 years, he backed the club, famous for its vegan menu for fans and players. Long-time friend and former Stroud MP David Drew is the club's vice-chairman.
"David is an old mate of mine and an absolutely brilliant person," said Mr Corbyn, who also met one of his three brothers on the walkabout. "I am sorry he is not in Parliament but I'm glad Forest Green Rovers are doing well. My son is a youth coach at Watford and he is very keen to see Forest Green Rovers play. It will happen and I will pay for my own ticket."
He said the vegan menu at the New Lawn 'absolutely appeals' to him and urged FGR to keep up the pressure on rivals Cheltenham Town.
"There is something really annoying in that every time Cheltenham stumble, FGR stop. But I think they are going to make it, I really do."
Good afternoon all a dreary, miserable day here. Grey, rainy and cold.
Thanks El, it's dried up a bit but it's still grey. I'm going to put my water proofs on to take Bramble out
Evening all.
I hope you've all had a good day?
We had a nice visit from middle son and DiL, but the oven decided to go on the blink just as tea was ready. Randomly, it has started working again 
- we think there might have been a power surge.

Nice to hear
Evening Velvet.
Youngest son and his fiancÃĐe are coming for dinner tomorrow, and are expecting roast beef and Yorkshire puddings, so it's lucky the oven revived itself!
Evening you two uh oh! I hope the oven is alright yogi 
I hate it when things go wrong

They don't mind rare but they won't want it still mooing!

Evening Summer. I like the name change.
I sometimes call PB "Sweetie Pie"
Aw fab choice then 
I was tempted with Sweet Pea, but I think I've already had that one lol
~Sweetie Pie~ posted:Aw fab choice then
I love sweet peas, they have a gorgeous scent
I might get some sweet pea seeds to plant this year
hows your garden looking?

Not looking great atm. Needs weeding and a tidy up but the ground is still soaking.
I'm wilting so I'm going to wish you goodnight, Summer and Velvet.
Night owl hug for Ros
It's soggy again here too, I hope it dries up soon. I'm looking forward to pottering about outside soon
sweet dreams yogi
aww sorry to have missed you yogi
night yogi summer and velvet
Good morning everyone
Some brightness here this morning, clouds over this afternoon and rain later.
Summer, I hope the weather improves for you so that you can start pottering away
Yogi, I hope it was just a temporary blip with your oven and that it doesn't cause any more problems.
Good morning everyone, similar weather to yours here EL. Wow Yogi I am glad that the oven recovered in time and I hope it doesn't play up today when you are cooking Sunday lunch.
I hope the weather is fine enough for you to have a good potter around the garden Summer and possibly start planning for plants this summer. Do you get seed catalogues or go to garden centres. My hubby, when we did an awful lot of container and hanging basket planting, used to raise everything from seed and poring over seed catalogues in the wintertime was lovely. Summertime dreaming!
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone.
It's raining up here.
Squiggle, when I had my greenhouse, I used to enjoy growing plants from seed.
I still get seed catalogues, included in my copies of Gardener's World magazines, and love browsing through them.
El, I've checked the oven this morning and it is still working, so fingers crossed it keeps working until the beef gets roasted.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning all I hope you slept well and have better weather today 
I've slept like a log 
and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I'm glad your oven is working yogi, I hope the dinner is delicious and you all have a lovely time
I'm heading out for a walk but will be back later, have a good morning everyone
Sends recipe to Yogi for steak tartar just in case your oven doesn't work though hopefully it won't be needed:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/steaktartare_88981
Squiggle, I hope your weather is still pleasant, it is here at present
Summer. I hope you are having a nice walk And you are right, you did adopt Sweet Pea as your name here for a few months 2 years ago.
By the way I watched Maigret last night and it was quite good. I didn't have any difficulty in forgetting Rowan Atkinson's Blackadder and Mr Bean characters.
I did remember the story "Maigret sets a trap" slightly as it was one of the Michael Gambon episodes back in 1992 but only slightly.
Afternoon I'm back! Just having a quick cuppa before I start some jobs around the house.
Crikey El, I thought it was last year, I didn't realise 2 years have gone by I'm glad you enjoyed Maigret, is it a one off or a series?
Summer, how was your walk, did the rain stay off?
El, thanks for the recipe but I didn't need it as the oven didn't conk out. *phew*
We had a lovely visit from youngest son and his fiancee.
Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.
Hugs for the night owls.
*night owls* 
I just do not know where the day has gone! I was so occupied that I forgot to eat and had to have some cereal at 10pm! It has been highly productive though
El, hopefully that will be something to look forward then i hope you had a good afternoon & evening
yogi, I'm very pleased your oven held up and that you've had a lovely dinner & visit from family I didn't get to watch the Durrells or Homefires but I have recorded both and will look forward to watching them ASAP
squiggle & velvet, I hope you've had a lovely weekend
Moonie, I hope you've been enjoying the weekends sporting events and are feeling somewhat brighter. Come back to us soon
leaving goodnight hugs for Ros
