Good morning everyone 
Dull here but no rain yet 
Yogi, does out and about mean going anywhere near a cake shop? 
Have a great day everyone 
Good afternoon a very busy morning here, lots of people are off work and just out & about
aw thank you all, I'm glad you like my little furry friend 
Moonie, I may redirect just the lower corner of that little path 
I'm pleased it's rained all night, that will have done the plants the world of good.
If only we could do the same for our squiggle! I hope you are resting well and can bare to have some distraction on the tv or radio
For those who miss Ceefax. A Stroud man (who used to work for Ceefax) is coming up with his own version called Teefax. At present it would only work for someone with a Raspberry Pi (Moonie,it's not something you could eat so don't get excited 
) and an analogue television but he hopes to come up with an online version.

Sweet, I hope your afternoon is not as busy
All new areas need a little *tweeking* 
Keep a good eye on your plants as the temperature is set to rise over the next week or so. I have just watched the weather forecast and they say it could reach 30 degrees by midweek next week 
My guess is Bramble won't be to pleased with all that heat either

Have a great day everyone
Mr Yogi bought two individual banoffee pies. I don't like them, so they are easy to resist.
The sweetest dessert I ever had was in a local Italian restaurant years ago. Effectively it was a mound of raisins in a thick crust of brown sugar. I had some but did not get close to eating it all Probably about 20,000 calories and just looking at it would make your teeth rot. A banofee pie or a pavlova was nothing in comparison.
If you want to make some, just get a bag of brown sugar, a bag of raisins, open them up, put them in a bowl, mix them up, and start eating. Easy to make and no cooking required. Just have a bucket handy though, you'll need it.

Normally I would say I hope all are well but we're a troop down. Squiggs - I send you all the best and hope this can lift sometime soon for you
Nout really to report. A bleak summer and a bit of touch up emulsion - no wallpaper these days - find it easier. And not a fan of the Shand Kydds
Moons - I hope the shed is under control and your expletive free today
I do like a banoffee though although a full fat Coffee Tower rules
The more rotten wood I take out the worse it looks Velvet
Thinking of hiring a JCB for five minutes. That would be all it would take to trash it
I hope all is well in your world and you have no rotten sheds lurking
Thanks Velvet, I hope all is well for you
Moonie, if you can imagine a very rich creamy dessert based on banana and toffee (hence banoffee) with cream, that's it. The toffee is made from boiling condensed milk until it becomes thick and sticky (rather like dulce de leche which is popular in many countries).

They are sickly sweet and the banana feels slimey to me. 
Evening Velvet and Moonie, I hope you've both had a good day
On the subject of sheds, Mr Yogi bought a metal one, which my sons put up - it was a nightmare and they nearly throttled him for not buying a wooden one.
Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.
Hugs for any night owls.

Yep. And they go down a treat
Got the grand kids tomorrow?
No grandkids this week, they've been away for a few days. I've been minding their dog instead.
Night night again.
Popping in to leave goodnight hugs for you all squiggle I hope the night is gentle on you
yogi, I hope the dogs are enjoying being together well done on resisting the pie!
night yogi summer velvet
Good morning everyone.
It's raining up here.
Squiggle, I hope you are feeling better today.
Summer, the dogs have enjoyed each other's company.
I'm off for root treatment on a tooth this afternoon. If I'm AWOL afterwards, you'll know the dentist broke his promise that I won't feel any pain!
Have a good day everyone.

I think if I bought one it would have to be put up by the company I had it off

Yogi, I best you miss PB and BB but Harv and Kiera are a bit of a bonus
Hope the root canal goes as painless as it can. It you are in to much pain, Velvet and I will *pay the dentist a visit*
Good morning everyone, thanks everyone. Yogi I hope it all goes very smoothly with the root canal and the dentist keeps his promise.
Enjoy your day everyone
There's a well known statue of Gustav Holst (The Planets) in Cheltenham where he lived.
At present it looks like this:
There are two differences. There's the obvious one which I think is intentional - the addition of a red umbrella.
Then there's the less obvious one which is not intentional and it's not known who the cuprit is, it's either a prank or a seagull has flown off with the missing item. It's not the conductor's baton in the other hand.
Yesterday at the filling station I saw a very old VW being filled up. A very old small caravan was attached.
I know it was very old as the number on the plate was of the very old type where there were no letter suffixes or prefixes, ie before 1963. Nowadays you normally see those numbers on classic veteran cars or where a cherished number plate had been bought and put on a car. That was not the case here as the car and caravan really showed their age.
Good afternoon a steady morning here, we're short staffed lately with staff holidays going on which is why I've been extra busy myself.
How are you today squiggle?
Yogi go I hope your dentist lives up to his promise

Oops not so quiet then Sweet?

During this last week HMRC has been churning out lots of consultation documents relating to various taxes. What is slightly interesting is that so far the consultation papers into the proposed quarterly digital accounts reporting have so far not been published. The consultation papers were due to have been published in the spring but were delayed in part due to the Panama papers and partly because of the EU referendum so we were expecting them to be published after the referendum. Of course we now have a new chancellor so there are a couple of possibilities. One being that he wants to go through the proposed consultation papers before giving HMRC the go-ahead. The other being that as the Treasury is going to be snowed under with sorting out all the financial impilcations, negotiations, and law changes required from Brexit and are going to be stretched by overhauling to tax system to cope with digital account reporting.
I'm back from the dentist. He kept his word and I felt no pain during the procedure. My mouth is still numb from the injections (currently drinking Bovril through a straw!) so let's hope there is no pain when the numbness wears off.

Wonder if Baz would like it for her birthday cake?

*stands Velvet down and puts the 'tools' back into storage*
(that is a reference to my post on the previous page, re Yogi's dental visit)
I hope you stay pain free Yogi
But Bovril?
Yuk yuk
