You don't think they are watching me do you?
Are there any white transist vans parked outside your house?
No! and they would stand out a bit if they did, it's a dead end here 
Broady out; beaten by Murray in straight sets

on the plus side, the rain sounded wonderful and I splashed in puddles
yogi i'm glad you've got everything done and I hope your afternoon is slow paced
Hi Sweet 
I can just imagine you dancing in your wellies
Pleased you car is sorted 
Yogi, you must be quicker with the sun pinning next time it appears

Liam's sister Naomi was beaten yesterday.
Thanks, El. I must have opened and posted in this thread instead of the Wimbledon one! Oops!

I think it's safer with taping it rather than pinning as a pin could burst it

Would you two sun catchers like to come up here and capture it for me!
They're all talk Yogi

I think you're right.
Ros, I hope you get your new computer soon.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, everyone.
Hugs for the night owls.
night yogi and squiggle and summer if you pop in
*night owls* sweet dreams everyone I hope the day has been kind to you all X
Good morning everyone
Cloudy here and the rain is forecast to arrive mid morning.
Apparently Microsoft will be amending its Windows 10 upgrade popup on Windows 7 and 8 devices following numerous complaints so that there's less risk of an automatic upgrade done unintentionally.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36657890
This change is supposed to be rolled out over the next week,
Clicking the red box will then cease to be the much criticised approach by Windows where it was being taken as agreeing to upgrade. Instead it will be just to close the popup box and won't appear again for a few days rather than to go ahead.
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone.
Weather is cloudy but dry.
I'm glad Windows are sorting things out. I've made a big effort to make sure I don't accidentally click on anything re Windows10.
I'm waiting on a call to see if I'm going out today or tomorrow.
Have a good day everyone.
Yogi, I hope you get your call soon so that you can plan your day
The problem for my computer re Windows 10 is that the C drive is a small but fast SSD drive which tends to get fuller over a period of time with Windows stuff. I always have to do regular disk cleanups and have had to disable the hibernate function to free up some space. Although my computer would tolerate an upgrade to Windows 10, if there were any problems, trying to roll back to Windows 7 is likely to be very problematical.
Although Windows 10 includes the Internet Explorer browser, its default is the replacement Edge one. I read that Microsoft intend to drop the Internet Explorer from Windows 10. Although I don't use IE much, my main accounts and tax software requires IE. The developer will have to change that eventually but it hasn't yet done so.
Good morning I hope you all slept well and that Windows 10 doesn't cause you problems
Good morning everyone, fine drizzly rain looks set in for the day, it does the garden a power of good though. I hope you manage to stay dry if you do have to go out.
I hope the phone call goes the way you want it to Yogi. Enjoy your day everyone
Yesterday a python was seen on the petrol forecourt at Waitrose in Cheltenham.

A local woman who is a bit of s snake expert rescued the python and taken it home for rehabilitation.

There are photos, a short video clip on the first link, and a longer one on the second. Obviously don't look if you are scared of snakes.

We shall call him Monty...ducks the rotten fruit and veg
Good afternoon Moonie
I think I know who got soaking wet
I was wondering who would come up with Monty
You may need to avoid visiting Thame in Oxfordshire. Yesterday the town council decided to bring back stocks there. Although they say they won't be throwing rotten fruit and veg, they could change their minds.

Hi El
I am nothing if not predictable
I think the stocks would currently be red hot with MP's waiting to get their free fruit and veg

I was thinking more of the English football team
Good afternoon I hope you boys are both having a good day.
I've just had the drenching of my life! The rain I can cope with, but that combined with the soaking wet overgrowth that got my jeans, then socks, then boots utterly soaked meant that I may as well have jumped in the river! The funny things were when I got home, my hands were so stiff that I could barely get the key in my door, so imagine how hard it was trying to get my wet socks & jeans off 
a hot bath sooner made it all better, and I'm now cosy in my onesie and waiting for a hot meal to cook (thank goodness for m&s frozen meals!)
i just heard the news about those missing children, I hope they are found safe & well very soon.
I hope yogi got the call she was hoping for
Afternoon all. I got the call I was waiting for and I'm going out with my future DiL tomorrow.
Moonie and Summer, I hope you are dried off and warm now.
lol at Monty the python.
El, my heating was on this morning too. It's quite cool up here today.
Summer, I know it's unpleasant getting soaked to the skin like that and it's good to get out of them and warm up
I hadn't heard about those missing children.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-mid-wales-36664896
Some of the teenagers have been found now on the Brecon Beacons. They are on a Duke of Edinburgh award programme so I would expect them to have some leadership skills to help them.
The world will be a better place for it velvet, well done for answering your calling 
#TeamVelvet
yogi i was hoping you had gone out, but at least you can go tomorrow and spend all evening looking forward to it
El, I should think it's a very well organised trip, hopefully the remaining missing ones will appear very soon
My second attempt at squiggle's cake has been thwarted by a rotten cooking apple
I'm going to pop up the shop and see if I can find a replacement

Our predicted rain hasn't shown up yet but glad to hear those who have been drenched have been fully rinsed now
Yogi, glad you got your call. Hope you have a great day tomorrow
I've just been called up to be the Shadow Scottish Cultural Secretary so I might not back for some time.
I'm sure you're the best man for the job.
That's good news, El. I hope they find the others soon.
