Good morning everyone, beautiful blue sky and wispy clouds this morning - set fair. I hope it is where everyone else is too.
Yogi I hope you slept better last night. It's always satisfying having a good clear out so I hope the day goes well. I hope you and Bramble enjoy your relaxing day Summer.
Enjoy your day everyone 
Moin! I'm on with a second wash. Otherwise I'm trying to make sense of penguin fonts!
Ooh yogi- are you getting the Christmas decorations out of the loft already?! 
Thank you Squiggle and El, I slept much better last night.
lol El, the loft wasn't too bad so I didn't require the breadcrumbs.
Mr Yogi and sons are en route to the tip with the stuff we have decided to throw away. I've got books to take to the charity shop on Monday - unless anyone wants some Val McDermid, Dan Brown or Lillian Harry books?
Hope you got your washing dry, Joe.
Summer, I hope it's not too busy at work.

Not yet - but we did find a Christmas angel I thought I'd accidentally thrown out.
What connects:
Winnie-the-Pooh
Tinkerbell
Red, the leader of Angry Birds
and Wonder Woman.

I thought it might be to do with the news item this morning. Will say no more.

Hope all are having a good weekend
I love decorations that we've had for years. Happy memories attached to them.
We have a santa decoration that was bought for my youngest son when he was a toddler and he still insists on personally hanging it on my tree. After he left home I stupidly thought I could hang it on the tree - and he made me take it off so he could rehang it.
Just arrived back from an extended bike ride as the sky went black. We rushed out and brought in the washing. It's quite dry thanks!
I've also made progress with the penguins!
El Loro posted:Yogi, you may well be correct. The answer to my little connections poser is shown in that BBC link.
GJ, I've ordered that GCHQ puzzle book. I'm guessing that your penguins reference is to that book, I do know it's published by Penguins.
I couldn't wait El Loro! I downloaded it as a kindle.
I've completed the initial work in the Telegraph. I won't say anything else - it would spoil your fun.
Ah, I wondered what the pingu references were about.
I'll be in the Strictly thread.

This Telegraph article explains it:

It's a puzzle wrapped up in a conundrum wrapped up in an enigma wrapped up in a brainteaser wrapped up in a mystery etc etc.
evening, I'm just in the strictly thread
Phew! That was fun 
have you had a good day yogi?

Really enjoyed Strictly tonight.
My day was good thanks. The loft clearing went well.
How was your day and how is Bramble?

Not a hope of me solving it so I'll leave it to you and Joe.
If that puzzle was wrapped in Xmas paper, I could unravel that layer
are you finished in the loft now yogi?
ive had a pleasant day thank you, bramble is snoozy bless her but she's doing really well we've got a 36 hour snuggle marathon under way
I could just about cope with unwrapping it.
Yes, the loft is finished, thank goodness.
A snuggle marathon sounds perfect.
I was looking forward to a long lie tomorrow but hubby wants to go to the market. I hope he changes his mind.
Is it an early market?
~Sweet Sizzling Samba!~ posted:Is it an early market?
Unfortunately yes.
Oh dear, how can we get mr yogi to want a lay in tomorrow? Has he had a big enough tea? Hehe
Or maybe we can change the time on his phone/clock

He always has a big tea!

Good thinking.
Unless it's a Christmas market, that would be ok

Unfortunately not.
Did I tell you I got a snow globe snowman for PB? It's a colour changing one.
She loves my Christmas snow globe but it's glass so it's not really suitable for kids and I promised I'd find something similar for her. I'll send you a pic tomorrow, with the pic of the elf beaker and Christmas baby cup for BB.
Ooh can't wait to see pics, they sound wonderful she's going to LOVE the snow globe
~Sweet Sizzling Samba!~ posted:Ooh can't wait to see pics, they sound wonderful
I think she'll like it.
I'm going to get off now in case I've got to get up at the crack of dawn.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer
Night owl hug for Ros - I hope you are getting plenty of chill out time now you're on half term
I'm just going to wash up, back shortly
Sorry yogi, we must have posted at the same time. Sweet dreams and I hope the market is good
night yogi -thank you and lots of summer
Moin! Another dull start. We expect rain later on. I hope it's better where you are.
The Sun is out now! It's going to be one of those days!
Good morning everyone, lots of very fast moving heavy clouds, a dull morning. Happy bargain hunting Yogi! How is Bramble now Summer?
Enjoy your day everyone
Afternoon all.
A chilly and bright day.
Youngest son had stayed over (his fiancÃĐe was away at a hen weekend and he was having a boy's night in with friends in our village) so he came with us to the market. It's quite a big market and has a mixture of car boot stalls, proper stalls with new items, and food stalls. We managed to pick up a few bargains.
I hope you are all having a relaxing Sunday and Bramble is continuing to make a good recovery from her op.
