Good morning everyone, no sunshine here sadly just drizzle, at least for the last couple of days, take the opposite of what the BBC weather guy says and you're probably in with a chance of an accurate forecast

I hope your Mum will soon be on the mend Velvet and that it's not her heart

Enjoy your day everyone

Sends some sunshine to Yogi and Squiggle

 I hope GJ's mum is alright and that her ongoing care has been satisfactorily sorted out.

I hope Velvet's mum is alright, it could be a chest infection rather than her heart

Just received my water rates for the next year - £400 plus some pence. It's not cheap.

Fascinating article today on my local news website for anyone who has ever read  Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. It's about the connections with Cheltenham - Charlton Kings is to the south east of Cheltenham  and also South Cerney which is south of Cirencester.

I still have an occasional look. I'm being pulled by the other generations at the moment. Setting up a bit of extra care for my Mum has been a nightmare and I've had to do a lot of travelling.

The NHS/Social Services set up seems to have deteriorated since my Dad died. Please keep all Tory politicians away from us, we won't be responsible for our actions.

Thanks for giving me a mention - I'll hopefully catch you later.

Are you not tempted to get a meter? I've switched to one and have gone from £50 to £19 per month 

GJ, I sympathise with you

our water rates are £640 £ 64 a month

 night yogi and everybody and summer if you pop in

*night owls*

joe you have my sympathies, it's such a minefield. I wish you lots of strength and hope you get plenty of support

sweet dreams Ros & everyone  

i have cousins here for the weekend, but will pop in later tomorrow have a good Sunday everyone 

Good morning everyone 

Raining again. El, your sunshine hasn't arrived.

I was up early this morning and loved listening to the birdsong - spring is definitely on its way. 

Joe, I hope you manage to get something sorted out for your mum and Velvet, I hope your mum is feeling better.

Have a great time with your cousin, Summer.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone

Yogi, the sunshine must have got lost in the post as it's not here - overcast and damp

Ros, and I though my water rates were quite costly

Summer, I hope you are having a great time with your cousins

I hope everyone has a good day

By the way, Social Strata are looking at why people can't post emojis on iPhones on their sites such as this one. I'll let you know if there are any developments but don't expect anything soon.

Good morning everyone, evidently lots of rain overnight, not that I heard any.  Bits of blue sky this morning but lots of clouds as well.

Ros your water rates are really shocking, how on earth do they get to such a high figure?  I agree Yogi it's lovely to hear the birds singing and their thoughts are definitely turning towards mating.  The cock pheasant was creeping up on one of the females yesterday but she didn't look very keen.

Enjoy your day everyone

Average water bills for 2016/17 for England and Wales. Mine is a bit more than the average for my area but Ros's is a lot more.

Good afternoon Buddies  

Hope everyone is well and having a lovely weekend 

Rained here over night and early this morning. Hardly any wind but really cold. The rain has stopped now and the sun is appearing in brief spells 

Have a great day peeps   

Good afternoon Moonie I hope all is well with you - at least you've got bits of sunshine

Glad you have at least a little sunshine El 

I don't think this would tempt me to go to Frampton Court:

I have a client who lives not far away from there and when I go to visit him I do drive past the entrance to Frampton Court.

Yep, I have a digital radio 

Is it good?

I only tend to listen to the radio in the car.

Yes, it's quite good but not as good as Call The Midwife, which I was watching earlier.

Bills to pay and shopping. What a exciting life I have  

I had my new glasses several weeks ago 

Better than housework!

I got my new glasses recently, and Baz got new glasses a couple of days ago - it must be the time for new glasses.
