Summer, I'm glad you and Bramble had a good day at the beach 
I'm glad you had a good time at the beach Summer. Our little boy is such a little sweetheart. One of the nicest things for me is seeing how totally in love with him my daughter is, such a joy. He calls her Nana (I'm Granma same as I am with her boys) and the other day when they all went to the park, the two brothers, my youngest grandson's partner and her son with the eldest grandson's two, the little one carefully picked a primrose, careful to get the long stem and said to his Daddy, 'for Nana', so sweet.
That's so precious Squiggle 
he sounds utterly adorable and the whole family in general sound so lovely. I can see why it brings you so much joy to see them interacting

What a little sweetheart, Squiggle.

Omg that's amazing!!!!! 
I already have their app and love plotting routes on it, but to see them in 3D would be something else 
Sweet dreams yogi 
I hope you've had a good day
no moonie today?
Good morning everyone, disappointingly grey and cold here, I hope it's better where you are.
Enjoy your day everyone 
2 major classics of international cinema tonight on televison, one very short, one very long.
The short one is Un Chien Andalou (1929) which is about 15 minutes long on BBC 4. It's the most famous surrealistic film of all time and was co-directed by Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali. It's a series of scenes which were intended to shock the viewer and even though it's black and white and very old, there is still at least one scene which is as shocking as a modern day horror film.
The long one is Andrei Rublev (1966). That's on Film 4 and with adverts is almost 4 hours long. In Russian, about the 15th century iconographer. Mightn't seem of interest but it's a genuinely great film and is absorbing. Although a very different film of course the closest film which you would know is Lawrence of Arabia.
Of the two, Andrei Rublev is the one to watch.
Good morning 
it's sunny & pleasant here today, I've got an extra day off work so I'm going to spring clean the house!
Got one of those phone calls about my Hotpoint washing machine. It was obviously dodgy as I don't have one and I cut him off. At the beginnning he said my name and wanted me to confirm that. As I have heard of the potential for criminal scammers to get you to say "Yes" I said "Speaking". It's worth getting into the habit of using that where the caller is unknown to you. There's the possibility that a criminal is recording that and uses that to prove that you've agreed to some contract. Whether that would hold up in court is questionable.
Thank you El, that's very helpful
All of my windows & mirrors are sparkling clean, I always do them twice so they're proper clean
i have 2 loads of washing on the line and have cooked a vegetable curry, it was delicious

Hope all are well
Good news Velvet, uplifting to see progress, long may it continue
Evening all.
Summer, way to go on the spring cleaning.
Squiggle, I hope your weather improved.
Good tip re the dodgy calls, El.
Velvet, that's great news about the boss. Make sure you look after yourself as well as your mum.
I hope Moonie is okay
I've had a great day with the tiddlers, they do make me laugh.
Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. Hugs for the night owls
*night owls* 
sweet dreams yogi and other night owls, good to see our velvet back
night yogi and summer
Good morning everyone.
Weather is dry and a little chilly.
Hope you all have a good day.
Good morning everyone, it's a beautiful morning but, as you say Yogi, still a little chilly although the north wind from yesterday has certainly dropped. I'm glad the little ones make you laugh Yogi that's exactly what my daughter says about our wee boy, such a joy aren't they?
Enjoy your day everyone
So 42nd Street opened in London last night. A clip of a rehearsal of Lullaby of Broadway. So it's a rehearsal, not on set, and not in costume:
I hope the final result is better as it's not up to the version used in the film Gold Diggers of 1935 (I can't find that version in full on Youtube only in partial segments).

Is that the lovely Tom Lister in the leading role?
He used to be Carl King in Emmerdale, until a stupid producer decided to kill off the character.

Hope all is well
Your secret is safe with us.
All is well, thanks. Hope you and the boss are doing okay.
El Loro posted:Yogi, well spotted
it is Tom Lister as Julian Marsh in 42nd Street.
Velvet, here it's 58 degrees, but all is well
I didn't know he could sing but I did like him in Emmerdale.
Evening gang I hope everyone had a good day it's been gorgeous again here, I've done more spring cleaning and been to the optician. I need new glasses and probably tried on 20 pairs before finding the right frames 
I'm going to nod off soon so will wish you all sweet dreams and see you tomorrow

Good morning everyone. I was up with the larks.
It has rained overnight and is cloudy ATM.
Grocery shopping awaits. I'll get some cakes for Moonie - hopefully he'll be back today.
Have a good day everyone.
