did you lay in this morning?
Bramble is playful today, she's been funny. We had a lovely walk, she tried to get a rat! I'm glad it slipped beyond her reach
I did indeed Sweet
Awwww glad Bramble is back to her normal self 
Glad the rat got away before she got it
night yogi summer and moons
Good morning everyone.
The sun is still shining!
I slept like a log last night.
Squiggle, I don't know why I can't sleep some nights - it's like I can't switch my brain off! (What brain, I hear you ask.
).
My eldest son has been doing work in my garden, so I now have a lovely new raised bed and a corner herb garden.
PB has a cold and was a bit grumpy when she arrived yesterday but she went outside with grandad to put new pebbles into the borders and came back in a very happy mood.
BB was happy and smiley as usual - except when he wanted fed.
Going to see my parents today and then plant some herbs and veggies in my new beds.
Have a good day everyone.

Sunny here without a cloud in the sky. Forecast to get cloudier but decent weather
Car alarm sounding somewhere in the neighbourhood and no sign that it's going to stop.
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning El
Around here it's house alarms. Can be very annoying
Have a good day

Good morning Yogi
Hope you didn't wake up in the fireplace
The old jokes are the best 
Sounds like your eldest has been hard at it
Awwww poor PB. Not very often she is grumpy but having a cold does that even to us adults
Glad she was happier after helping grandad
BB sounds a love little fella
We are all unhappy when we want feeding and can't do its ourselves
Enjoy our visit to see your parents and happy planting when you come back
Yogi, poor PB, I wonder if it's hay fever rather than a cold. I'm glad you slept like a log and hope no-one set fire to you this morning
Moonie, that car alarm hasn't started again. I get those house alarms as well. The worst was at a house just round the corner where the occupants had gone away and the alarm went on for well over a day until it was stopped.

Pleased your ears are "car alarm less" El
Let's hope it stays that way
Good morning everyone, cooler and cloudier here. Yogi I am pleased that you slept better last night. I find with me it's all down to my digestion, if my tummy is having trouble digesting something then I don't sleep at all soundly. I have switched to a lighter diet which is helpful and which I am enjoying. BB sounds very much like my great grandson who is a merry little chap. My grandson was telling me that usually the first thing he hears is little footsteps followed by 'Daddeee' and he thinks 'Oh well that's me up' what a blessing they are I am glad that spreading pebbles with Grandad cheered PB up. Will she have her own little corner to grow things?
Thank you Moonie I hope you have a lovely day too I get the feeling that border terriers are natural ratters Summer so I think Bramble was following her instincts.
Enjoy your day everyone
El Loro posted:Moonie, I used to eat pork pies until I went to a factory (a client) many years ago and saw them being made.
Squiggle, I don't sleep well either if I've got a bit of a stomach upset.
El, I saw those being made too
Kinda turned me off but not enough to make me stop eating them

You are welcome and thank you too
I have a feeling Miss Bramble will eat anything dead or alive, she can get her little paws on
It makes sense that when you are going to pay the rent at the local council office, you take the rent book and the money
I shall remember that when I go back down on the next bus 
Infact, I have already put the rent book and money in my coat
Once bitten
I could pay it by direct debit but I prefer to take it down, while I still can
Gets me out the house 
Good morning wow you lot have been busy this morning!
I'm glad you slept well yogi, I hope all is well with your parents and that you enjoy your gardening later
aw moonie, what a pain, I hope you enjoy the bus ride to get it sorted out

Hi Sweet
Yep, the bus ride was pleasent fankoo
Went past where the swans are nesting
Still no sign of little webbed feet yet
But I have seen eggs, at least three, when neither of the swans was on the nest
Hope you and Miss Bramble have a lovely day. Don't work too hard
El Loro posted:Moonie, just remember to take your coat
Summer, it's been a busy morning for me workwise. One of my clients has received a form which is so complicated that she's sending it to me to see if I can decipher it
I did take me coat El but nearly had a "take two"
Usually, go to the council house to pay the rent first, then to shop because the local Sainsburys is virtually right next door
However, today for some reason I shopped first, was at the bus stop and realised I hadn't paid the rent
So off to the council office. Rent now paid and back home 
Good job I don't work in a fireworks factory
I'm sure you will get your brain around it El
Moonie, this is the client form I've been asked to look at (there's nothing confidential on it):
http://www.prudential-internat...m/pdfs/INVF11804.pdf
It's all because of the States and their FATCA act which affects all countries around the world .
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...t_Tax_Compliance_Act
It's not surprising that my client can't get her brain around it and I'll be struggling

Crickey El, I'm not surprised your client is confuddled. It looks like a nightmare to pick your way through
Moonie, I've just been on the phone for half an hour to that client trying to explain what I could. I don't know if she has to do part 1 or part 2. Part 1 is easy enough, part 2 isn't. She'll get in touch with the Pru and hopefully it will be just part 1. The bit about TINs (Tax Identification Number) is easy enough as if you do a tax return you have a unique tax reference number, otherwise just use your national insurance number.

@ Moonie and El's log/fire jokes.
Moonie, I hope to see some pigs of the cygnets once they've hatched.
Summer, I'm glad Bramble didn't catch the rat! Her terrier instincts are really strong.
El, I'm glad the car alarm stopped ringing and I hope your client gets things sorted out.
Squiggle, I love your post about your little great grandson.
My son has also built a raised bed for PB in their garden. Apparently, she would like to grow pumpkins. She has borrowed one of Granny's gardening books so that she can decide what else to grow.

Hi Yogi
Hope your day has been a good one
You will see some piccies/videos when they have hatched
I can just see PB tying to lift a fully grown pumpkin
Hi Moonie.
I can imagine her carrying a huge pumpkin too - she is a very determined little cookie.

You are a man and you're multi-tasking! Who says men can't multi-task?
Marcella has been good but you do need to concentrate when you are watching it - at least, I do. lol

I have no idea yet but no doubt will find something
Nothing exciting, just catching up on housework and ironing.
Do you have to go back to pay your rent tomorrow, or did you go back today?

Boring but it has to be done.
At least you remembered in time.
