Good morning 
a sunny and bright start here 
I'm having a lazy morning and looking forward to a walk in a while
el that's good of lloyds bank, there's many older people who will need some guidance regarding digital ways. Some of us younger ones will appreciate it too, and I'm sure we'll all get through these changes together 
The Argos store in the centre of Gloucester is closing down but a new one is opening at the Quays shopping centre which is about 10 to 15 minutes walk from the city centre. The new one will have fewer items actually there but a lot more can be digitally ordered and be there within hours or be home delivered.
It's not known yet what will happen to the old store. Before Argos moved there it was a large Co-op department store. I hope it gets used because it's a well known building in Gloucester.
We regret to announce that this flight from Heathrow to San Francisco has been cancelled:

and all because of a mouse.
Evening all.
We had a very good day with PB and BB and they enjoyed making and eating the pancakes.
When I banged my head on Monday afternoon, I must have hit the top of my cheekbone or the bridge of my nose (my glasses flew off) as well as the side of my head, as I got up this morning to find I have a black eye.
It has got blacker and blacker as the day has gone on, I look like I've gone ten rounds with David Hay.

Hope that goes soon and the neighbours don't see it
Glad all went well in the pancake stakes and hope all are well.
I must be the only one to think Bellew has a chance
Hi Velvet. 
I'm sure they will but, hey ho. If they are talking about me, they are leaving someone else alone (as my nana used to say)
Middle son and DiL are coming to ours on Saturday night to watch a fight on Sky- would that be the Bellew fight,

Hi Velvet.

Yep. Two mouthpieces. My head says Haye but my heart says Bellew
I'll just eat the nibbles and leave them to watch the fight
I'm off to bed, goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet.
Night owl hugs for Summer and Ros

Good morning sunny, bright and very cold here this morning
how's your eye today yogi?
I had pancake day 2 at a friend's house last night, we did it justice! 
Good morning everyone, nice and sunny here. I'm making the most of it as the forecast is rain for days and days after this.
Ouch Yogi I hope your poor eye settles down quickly, I hope your new glasses didn't break.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone.
A frosty start to the day.
El, my eye isn't painful at all but it is even blacker today.
Squiggle, my glasses were knocked off but they didn't break, thank goodness.
Well done on Pancake Day 2, Summer.
I may have just eaten one of the pancakes the children made yesterday.
They took most of them home with them but there were a couple left for granny and grandad.
I've been giving the fridge a deep clean and I'm about to make a start on the oven.
Then a pile of ironing awaits.
Have a good day everyone.
Summer, anyone would think you liked pancakes
Squiggle, the weather forecast seems to be a bit better for my area. Tomorrow is a wash out but althhough there is rain in following days it seems to be patchier.
I have zero interest in boxing but apparently Haye and Bellew have been warned by the British Boxing Board of Control to quieten down their pre-bout verbal sparring following Haye's comments on Monday.
Yogi, I hope you don't bang your head on the fridge or oven, you don't want two black eyes The only time I ever got a black eye was when I was at junior school and got hit by a cricket ball by the man who had driven the bus to the playing field. He was invited by the school master to bowl. He then bowled a beamer. If you don't know what a beamer is then this explains it:
It's obvious why it's dangerous. At least it was slow rather than fast otherwise the result would have been a lot worse than a black eye.
Extraordinary article and you may well need a box of tissues:

El, I saw that story on the teatime news. Heartwarming stuff.
I bet that cricket ball hurt quite a bit!
I got all my housework and cleaning done. I've had a long soak in the bath and now I'm off to watch Prime Suspect 1973
Goodnight and sweet dreams and hugs for the night owls.
*night owls*
sweet dreams yogi I hope you enjoyed the show
I'll be in the potting shed if anyone needs me sweet dreams everyone in her
night yogi summer velvet
Good morning all
We've got frost and fog this morning. It's very chilly!
I'm hoping for a relaxing day.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning everyone
Very overcast and damp here, rain forecast for much of the day.
Yogi, oddly enough that cricket ball didn't hurt as much as you might think, it was just below my eye rather than on it. You may remember that I mnetioned a year ago that I had a tooth taken out where the root had decayed in an unusual way. I and the dentist think that it might have been caused to that cricket ball.
I hope everyone has a good day

I wouldn't be surprised if the cricket ball had caused it.
Good morning everyone, plenty of clouds but so far a little drier than was forecast.
That cricket injury could have been so much worse EL and very interesting that the dentist is sure that it caused the damage to the tooth.
Enjoy your day everyone
Squiggle, thanks, as you say it could have been much worse. It's mot possible after all these years to be certain that it caused the damage to the tooth. My dentist does some training dental students and he agreed that the extraction was one which could have been filmed and used as part of the training he gives as it was not a routine one.
He had been in Africa in one of the poorer areas and had met a local dentist who was expert at extractions. There, the conditions are such that prevention of tooth decay doesn't really exist and extractions are the norm. That dentist was able to extract teeth far faster than here. Not to be recommended as it risks part of the bone breaking away at the same time.
I know nothing about Nintendo Switch consoles but it seems that the makers of the cartidges have come up with a way of discouraging anyone from accidentally swallowing them. They have been treated with a non-toxic substance which has a very bitter taste. Nintendo say that people shouldn't taste them just to see for themselves.

afternoon all, a grey day here that's turned to rain now.
What's everyone's plans for the weekend?!
Evening all
I hope you've all had a good day and have a good weekend.
velvet donkey posted:Evening Yogi
The Sergeant Major is under the weather and back in her bed. And the sis is due. Hopefully it's a three day wonder but she thinks it's her heart. Hospital is out so we'll see how it goes with fingers crossed. Hence I'll be sniping this weekend. Still have faith though.
Hope all is well Chez Yogi
And you're looking forward to the fight in there. Who does Mr Y fancy/want?
Sorry Velvet, I didn't realise you had posted.
Sorry to hear your mum is poorly. I hope she is wrong and she's just under the weather. Would she let you phone a doctor, if the hospital is out?
All is well. Eldest son has been installing some security cameras for MrY - the irony is, we have nothing worth nicking.
Mr Y and middle son think/want Haye to win.
Evening you two thanks V, hope your mum is on the mend soon
whos idea were the cameras yogi?

whos idea were the cameras yogi?
Evening Summer
Eldest son had put up cameras at his house, and while we were in Prague, he caught someone on camera, trying to break into their cars - so Mr Y decided it might be a good idea for us to get cameras too.
crikey! Shocking!! Good idea. Where are they from? And were they easy to install?
one of my customers recently caught a burglar on camera, and the culprit stupidly dropped his ID too!

Hubby bought them from Amazon. I think it was ÂĢ140 for four cameras, although we only needed three.
It took eldest the afternoon to install them because there was some drilling involved and a lot of up and down ladders - so more time consuming than difficult.
What a dopey burglar.
I'm about to nod off, so goodnight and sweet dreams Summer and Ros;
Your son is fabulous- spending time & climbing ladders for you, he's a real gem I hope you never need them but I'm glad you have them and you never know.. spring watch chez yogi..
sweet dreams and have a lovely Saturday
night lovely yogi and summer

Good morning everyone.
El, please send me some of your sunshine as it's pouring down up here
Joe hasn't popped in for a few days, I hope his mum is okay. Edit: Joe signed in 16 hours ago.
Won't be around tonight as middle son and DiL will be visiting.
Have a good weekend everyone.
