Sweet dreams gang 
a hectic day here, and a shocking one too. A close friend has had a heart attack, she's ok but it's all been very sudden and upsetting. We're all rallying around to do what we can to help 
hopefully I'll be able to catch up with you all better tomorrow ,
El, I was surprised to really enjoy guardians of the galaxy, Groot is the movie's hero at the end
Another vote for a full recovery Sweet!

BBC clip of Eugene Chaplin talking about his father, Charlie.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-39629449
The Oona Chaplin who is sometimes in television dramas is the granddaughter of Charlie and his wife Oona mentioned in the clip. His wife was the daughter of the playwright Eugene O'Neill, which is why the Eugene in the clip was so named.

Cool but mostly sunny and dry
I have the council coming in to do some work in my dining room over 3 of the next 5 days so no gas fire. Full story in the Crib. No point in spamming the threads
I hope your next 5 days will be better than mine
I hope the work gets done quickly and without too much mess, Moonie.
Please don't ask me to explain this, some weird science. Normally if you push something, it accelerates in the direction you pushed it. But if something has negative mass it accelerates backwards

I'm glad they were able to put a stent in for your friend, as you say Summer she should be OK now.

Good morning everyone.
A cloudy and grey start to the day.

It's kinda cute, in a scary way.
Shopping is done! 
<- Cakes for everyone.
I'm off to plant a cherry tree.
Thanks for the cake Yogi
I hope your cherry tree planting goes well.
Not the first time I've mentioned it but there are cherry trees in the churchyard and one of them is a smaller version of this:
It must have been as a result of grafting a white cherry tree and a pink one.
^that's pretty!!! it makes me think of angel cake
afternoon all I hope you're having a good day. Work has been steadily busy today, rather than manic. My friend is back in hospital but I don't yet know why, I'm waiting on an update.
~Sweet Pancakes~ posted:^that's pretty!!!
afternoon all
Awwwww sorry to hear about your friend being poorly again Sweet 
Good afternoon Buddies
Update on my front room woes 
Getting like a mini soap opera this 
10am the gas fitter came to disconnect the gas fire...
12 midday the plasterboard removers and damp proof men came...we are a little late...do you still want us to do it today?
Yessssss perleeeeze was my reply
They only removed a small section around the chimney breast and too one side. So not to bad
It's been damp proofed now. So the plasterers are coming in tomorrow. They can plasterboard to the side but not around the chimney breast as this has to be solid plaster. Fire regulations
I hope you all had a good day
Yogi, glad to had a lovely time with PB and BB the other day
Takes a cake and departs
Fankooooo Yogi and toodles for now everyone

Hope all are fine and dandy like masel
Is that some of Yogis Jockenese Velvet?
Yep, it's Jockenese for 'myself'
At least they have started the work, Moonie.
Evening all.
The cherry tree has been planted. Fingers crossed it grows!
Summer, I hope your friend is okay.
El, I remember you mentioning the bi-coloured cherry tree. I have a bi-coloured buddleia (pink and white) in my garden.

Hope all is okay with you and the Mafia.
All is well, thanks Velvet. Hope you and the boss are doing okay?
velvet donkey posted:We're getting on with it
That's all you can do.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet.
Hugs for the night owls.
*night owls* my friend is back home, it was blood pressure/medication that caused the problem this morning. I've walked their dog and helped her have a bath tonight, then left them all to rest & relax.
Velvet well done you're a trooper
moonie, garrr how frustrating for you!!! I hope it soon all finished
Sweet dreams gang
Good morning everyone
Weather is grey and damp.
Summer, I'm glad your friend was allowed home again. As El says, you are a good friend.
I'm finally going to the garden centre today to get the plants for my hanging baskets.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning everyone, how exciting Yogi. Do you go for the same plants every year or do you like to vary them?
What a nuisance Moonie, I hope they get all the work done soon so you can get back to normal.
How disappointing for your friend, it must have been frightening as well Summer, I hope they have got the medication right now and your friend can relax after the turmoil of this week.
Enjoy your day everyone
hope you're all having a good day
