Hi Moonie, I'm glad you are OK and hope you are back with us soon 
34 degrees yesterday for me and 29 today 
Evening all.
We woke early to the sound of a thunderstorm, and it's been very muggy all day.
We had a lovely day with PB and BB, and were joined by eldest son and DiL for tea.
Moonie, I hope you are back with us soon, we miss you when you aren't here.
Summer, I hope your dental check up went well and you were able to help your friend.
El and Squiggle, I hope it's been cooler for you today.
*night owls* I hope you've all had a cooler evening and that you sleep well tonight.
my dentist said that everything was great 
and my back aches a bit from weeding my friends garden but it looks gorgeous now, and I was happy to help
squiggle your plans sounded lovely, I hope you've enjoyed the day
yogi i I hope the continuing adventures of granny are as fun as ever 
im turning in, sweet dreams
moonie, it's good to see you pop in
Sorry I missed you, Summer. I'm in the BB thread and find it harder to thread hop since the forum changes.
Glad all went well at the dentist. Have a long soak in the bath to ease your aching back.
Goodnight and sweet dreams.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros.
Hugs for any night owls.

I haven't seen the weather forecast for today but it's dry atm.

Good morning everyone beautifully fresh and cooler today. I've changed the sheets after those very hot nights, nice to crawl between fresh sheets tonight. I hope everyone had a better night's sleep.
Hard work but very satisfying Summer I hope her beautiful garden will lift your friend's spirits. I'm glad you had another lovely day with the little bundles of joy Yogi.
I had a lovely day with my friend, we watched the film and managed to fit in 2 absolutely brilliant sermons. One from a young guy only 27 but filled with The Holy Spirit, a very great blessing to us both and one we needed.
Enjoy your day everyone
We are returned and I've done two hours in the back garden. The hollyhocks are thriving but the climbing roses are being throttled by bindweed.
I've done as much weeding as I intend and will now now the lawns!
Article yesterday claiming that one of the eyes of the man in the moon was created by a huge asteroid,

or 
That's amazing
Afternoon all.
Joe, I hope you are winning in your battle against bindweed.
Squiggle, I'm glad you and your friend had such an uplifting time.
Summer, I hope your back isn't aching any more.
El, I loved the moon link, and the Michelle Obama link - I like her a lot.
Velvet and Moonie, I hope you are having a good day.
Went shopping and to the bank this morning, then cut the back lawn this afternoon. It's quite warm and sunny up here.
Evening Velvet.
Looks like Michelle Obama has quite a few fans.
El, I love that doll's house!!

Albinoni's Oboe Concerto in D minor published in 1722 - the second section (adagio) is one of the most beautiful pieces of music written.
That is not the famous adagio which carries his name but was published in 1958 by Rimo Giazotto which may have been based on music written by Albinoni but lost in the WW2 Dresden bombings, all but a tiny fragment.
Good morning everyone lots of blue sky this morning and it looks like it's going to be a lovely day.
Enjoy your day everyone
Scientists have made a super hard metal by melting titanium and gold together.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/scie...environment-36855705
It's 4 times harder than titanium and is compatible with living tissue so this may have a major impact on things such as replacement joints where the exisitng titanium ones tend to have a life expectancy of around 10 years. The article doesn't say they would last 40 years but it could mean that one day people may be able to have hip and knee replacements which last for the rest of their lives and that it'e possible that replacements can be carried out on people earlier in their lives if it can be shown that such replacements do last much longer. Of course there's the cost issue.
Good morning everyone.
It's raining up here.
El, that could be good news for people needing hip and knee replacements in the future. Depending on cost, of course.
Getting my hair cut this afternoon - will give you a twirl when I get back.
Off to listen to the music ^^^^
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning wow el, what a progression! It would be wonderful if people could have joint replacements that last a lifetime 
Nadiya Hussain (last year's Bake Off champion) at Gloucester Quays Food Festival
Link to a local news article about her:
http://www.gloucestershirelive...03-detail/story.html
There's a couple of clips there, one of an interview with her (though the ending seems to have been cut off) and one of her top two tips on successful baking (pre-heat oven, and oven thermometer).
That's an exciting appearance for the area El I personally didn't like her on the show last year, but she is very popular and I believe is doing well with her career post bake off
Afternoon all. *twirls*
I'm looking forward to the new series of Bake Off.
