It was a safe journey and nothing spectacular to report (ignoring the plane which missed the local airport and landed on the road in front of me - I'm not being serious
)
Glad you're back safe and sound El
I am watching Air Crash Investigation right now

I've never seen Air Crash Investigation - hums the Twilight Zone theme
Evening all.
I hope you have all had a good day?
I'm around but will be in the Gogglebox thread.

Off to read for a wee while. Goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet

Popping in to wish you all goodnight
night yogi and summer

The Tenant is my favourite study of psychosis
As you liked The Tenant you may also like his earleir film Repulsion. Like as in admire rather than enjoy as it's far from an enjoyable film.
(For the others here, these are films by Roman Polanski)
Good morning I barely typed that post last night before falling asleep!
I have friends coming to stay for the weekend so that's why I've been absent, I needed to get everything ready.
It's slightly warmer today but still overcast. I hope the weekend brightens up.
What are everyone's plans?
Good morning everyone.
Weather is dull and cool.
Summer, I hope you have a lovely weekend with your friends.
Middle son is visiting today (not sure if he and DiL will stay for tea).
Have a good weekend everyone.
Good morning everyone, the weather seems to be letting us down for this Bank Holiday weekend, it's dull and coolish here too. Moonie I hope you are feeling brighter this morning. Have a lovely weekend with friends Summer, is it their first time visiting your new home? Enjoy your day with middle son and DiL Yogi. EL I hope your weekend goes well, and you too Velvet of course.
Enjoy your day everyone
Unusual tourist attraction in Scotland - a giant caterpillar web outside a DIY store in Striling:
96 year old Dr Henry Heimlich has used his own technique to save a life. Until now he had demonstated the technique.

El, that caterpillar web is creepy. I won't be going to see it.
Moonie, I hope you feel better soon.
Summer, I hope you are having a nice time with your friends.
Squiggle and Velvet, I hope you are enjoying the bank holiday weekend.
I'm off for a bath, then a read. Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.
Night owl hugs.

*night owls*

ive had a non stop busy day at work, followed by a pleasant sunny dog walk and a lovely evening with my friends who safely arrived around tea time 
yes squiggle, it's their first time seeing my new home and they absolutely love it. People, and now these friends too, say that the house suits me perfectly! 
I hope you've all had a lovely day
Good morning everyone
A generally sunny day here today.
Yogi, as you say, that caterpillar web is a bit creepy
Summer, I'm glad you had a good time yesterday and the thumbs up from your friends about your house
For fans of the Cranford series, the Drama channel is showing the complete series today.
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone.
Quite chilly here this morning. Hopefully it will brighten up later on.
Thanks for the reminder about Cranford, El.
Summer, I'm glad your friends like your house. Enjoy your weekend with them.
Oooh, the sun is tring to break through!!!It must have heard me.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning everyone, a brighter morning with a hint of promise of sun to come. I am so pleased that your friends love your new house Summer and feel that it is the perfect home for you That caterpillar web is quite amazing EL and yes definitely a little creepy. Moonie I hope you are feeling a little more like your usual self this morning Thanks EL, I love Cranford, definitely my second favourite next to Pride & Prejudice. I have it on DVD otherwise I would be recording it.
Enjoy your day everyone
I just don't fancy that Midsummer Night's Dream EL somehow from the clips I've seen so I think I shall give it a miss.
Squiggle, it's those clips which are putting me off as well. It's likely that the "It's Oh so Quiet" music over the clip isn't actually used in the adaptation, just the trailer. (I don't know if they are using the Bjork version or the original Betty Hutton version of that song - they are similar even if years apart)
Evening all.
It ended up warm and sunny today. I spent most of the day pottering about in the garden, and Keira and I managed to have a nice walk together.
El, I noticed you mentioned Burt Kwouk in one of your posts. I'm about to start watching Tenko dvds which I ordered from Amazon, and Burt was one of the cast.
Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. Hugs for the night owls.
night yogi and everybody and summer if you pop in
Good morning everyone, I think it's going to be a sunshiney day again today, so lovely to see photos of my eldest grandson on his local beach with the kiddies yesterday, all having fun. He also spotted my old car parked in the local car park there with lots of surf boards on top - the guy we sold it to is a surfer. The car is still being kept in perfect condition nice to see that he treasures it too.
Enjoy your day everyone, whatever your plans are for this Bank Holiday
Good morning everyone
Weather is dry and bright.
Have a good Bank Holiday Monday.

Aww, I bet the kids had a lovely time on the beach.
How nice to find out that the new owner is taking good care of your old car.
Good morning and happy bank holiday a chilly, overcast, damp day here.
My friends have set off for home and we have had a wonderful weekend together
I'm just going to catch up on my bookkeeping, back shortly
squiggle, the story about your car made me smile, that's lovely
Some blue sky has appeared here in the last hour
Happy 250th birthday today to the Bristol Old Vic. It's the oldest continuously working theatre in the English speaking world.

I saw that on the news last night El
I don't go to the theatre but I was very interested in the the age of it and the famous people who started their careers there
