EL it's lovely and seen it on TV
night yogi EL velvet 
and summer if you pop in
*night owls* 
good evening all, and sweet dreams to those who have turned in and a get well soon hug for Moonie
how typical- I actually had moments where I could pop in here today, but the network decided to drop out and couldn't get online 
ive been to a lovely yoga class tonight and had a friend round after for a cuppa. It's been lovely.
When I first moved in here, I frequently found cat poop in my garden, but I think Bramble has scared off the culprit(s) because it's stopped happening.
Good morning everyone 
Cloudy here today, may get some showers during the day.
Summer, I'm glad you had a lovely evening 
Off this morning on one of those exciting tax courses. So much is happening in the world of tax that it's important to try to keep up to date.
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning and happy first day of Autumn 
I hope the summer has given you each some lovely memories, and that the new season brings you much joy.
Good luck on your course today El, I hope it's not too taxing 
what are the rest of you doing?
Bramble and I are going on the snowdog trail and then looking forward to the bake off tonight
Good morning everyone, it's quite a nice morning, a mackerel sky this morning! Good luck with your snowdog hunting Summer, I hope all goes well with the weed zapping Yogi. What a lovely advert EL, it sums up parenthood, the joys the terrors, the whole complex swirl of emotions, in fact it sums up grandparenthood and greatgrandparenthood too! It's quite a weird feeling when discussing the little one's first temper tantrums - he seems to be starting early and his daddy is very firm with him and takes him outside for a 'man to man talk' and talking about it with my daughter that not only can I remember her sons' tantrums but also her's too!
Well done Miss Bramble on chasing away those cats, and Keira too. They tend to get short shrift here too although there's only me to chase them away and I'm not very good at barking. They are natural predators of my lovely birds and I like the birds to feel (relatively) safe. I say relatively because of course those birds include carrion crows and magpies. I see buzzards circling every day but they never land here.
I hope you feel better soon Moonie Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone.
The sun is shining atm so hubby and I are off to do some weeding and tidy up the garden.
El, I hope your course is an interesting one.
Summer, I hope you manage to see several snowdogs - be sure to take some pics.
Have a good day everyone.
I found this picture simply amazing
Back from that tax course, enough going on to justify a week's course rather than a half day so very crammed. Got the course booklet though to go through.
Squiggle, that's exactly what I felt about thar advert not that I've been a parent but it felt so true and from the heart. I think I've seen that orchid/dove before somewhere - it is amazing
Yogi, I hope your gardening has been successful
Good evening we're back from our adventure and am happy to report that we have found 11 snowdogs today! Everyone in tynemouth was friendly, and i got plenty of people to take our pic with some of the dogs. I'll upload some pics shortly, I've just got some bookkeeping to catch up on
squiggle the buzzards sound wonderful
When you hear stories about well known Hollywood couples breaking up, you might wonder if there are any such couples who haven't. a BBC article listing 10 such couples.

That's really interesting El, I think Tom & Rita are my favourite.
I used to love Brad, but that changed when he got with Angelina and although I am surprised they're divorcing, I never really thought she was suitable for him
Here's a few pics from today...
Stand by for more!
He's sad because he'S cold, apparently
^pretty
Evening all
Squiggle, I love the orchid pics.
I can relate to your comments about tantrums.
El, I'm glad the course was useful even though it was crammed packed.
Summer, the snow dogs are fabulous!
Having an early night, goodnight and sweet dreams all.
Sweet dreams yogi sleep tight
leaving hugs for moonie, velvet & ros
lovely snowdogs summer
night yogi summer velvet bazzy
Moin Moin !
After all the rain it looks like a few days of decent weather. Before it started yesterday lunchtime was balmy and we were able to cycle in summer clothes. Otherwise we've been looking through the wardrobes and drawers for more autumnal togs to refresh. A week today I'm off to the Fatherland.
I hope everyone has decent weather today and enjoys their day.

Hi Baz, you are always welcome in here.
Good morning everyone.
A dry and bright start to the day.
Which part of Germany are you off to Joe?
lol El, that's a good question about the snowdog feeling cold.
Grocery shopping and a pile of ironing awaits.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning everyone, what a gorgeous morning, hardly a cloud in the sky, and a beautiful big yacht with white sails gleaming just sailing down the Bristol Channel. The snowdogs are very inventive, how long are they going to be on display?
I dreamt I was ploughing through a great mountain of ironing last night Yogi, I hope your pile diminishes quickly and you have something nice to listen to or watch while you are doing it.
Enjoy your day everyone
As per, I'm doing Oktoberfest in Hannover. Funfairs, football, cycling and beer. Happy days!
Thank you! I don't think the whether will be as good as Lille though.
Oops!

I watched Sunday's episode of Poldark.

I forgot we are almost into October, I ought to have realised.
I hope you have a good time.
El Loro posted:Yogi, there was a news item on my local news website yesterday about Poldark but I decided not to post a link here to it as really is a spoiler though it might have got out already.
I've seen the original series and read the books so you won't spoil any storyline for me. As far as anything else is concerned, I like spoilers.

Nout really to report so I'll stand easy and fall out in ten seconds.
Evening Velvet.
I hope Moonie is back soon.
Evening all I hope everyone's well and had a good day
joe that all sounds like great fun, have a wonderful time
i feel like this september has been the fastest month ever! And that Autumn has appeared almost overnight 
I'm already snuggled up in bed, just because I can
Evening Summer. Have you had a good day?
I agree that autumn seems to have arrived very suddenly.
It's been smooth & pleasant thank you yogi. How was yours?

That's good. Mine was fine thanks.
When are you going on the snowdog trail again?
