Moonie, have you been able to make progress with that tax refund?
Evening all.
Weather started off dry and bright but became breezy and showery later on.
I had a good day with PB and BB, and a busy evening with most of the family popping in for a visit.
El, I think you need to post that giraffe pic in the Darnies, as Baz will be so disappointed if she misses it.

Good morning everyone, we had a very very strong wind (not sure if it was actually gale force) and torrential rain last night so it's nice to wake up to a sunny and pleasant morning.
Enjoy your day everyone
The market research company Populus company rang me just now wanting my views on software for accountants. They are a legitimate company and said they weren't trying to sell me anything. That would be true but I didn't feel like answering and ended the call. What I don't know is who were they carrying out the researcg for. If it's one of the accountancy bodies or magazines/websites that would be fine but if they were doing it for a software company, that wouldn't be so good.
Good morning everyone.
The sun is shining but I can see grey clouds in the distance.
Squiggle, I'm glad your weather has improved since last night.
El, I body-swerve surveys of any kind nowadays as I'm wary of how the info might be used.
Have a good day, all.

Had one of those "Microsoft" phone calls. Nothing unusual about that though they have changed their phone systems so that no phone number or withheld sign appears on the caller display. Clearly intended to make it impossible to bar them from repeat calling you and making it harder for the authorities to track them down.

This Radio 4 drama on Saturday at 14.30 (1 hour long) looks rather interesting.
It's called Tolkien in Love.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and Edith Mary Bratt first met in 1908. They were both orphans living in a boarding house in Birmingham. Despite the difference in their ages and religions - she was 19 and Protestant,he was 16 and Catholic - they fell in love.
When Ronald's guardian, Father Francis Xavier Morgan, found out, he forbade him to see Edith again until he came of age at 21. Ronald reluctantly obeyed and later left the city after winning an exhibition to Oxford. Edith went to live in Cheltenham. At midnight on the night he turned 21, Ronald wrote to Edith declaring his undying feelings. Unfortunately, in the intervening years, she had got engaged to someone else. He raced to her in Cheltenham, they walked through the countryside and Ronald had one chance to win Edith's heart.
Their love was the inspiration for the Beren and Luthien story at the heart of Tolkien's novel The Silmarillion.
Starring Will Merrick (Skins, The Rack Pack) as Ronald and Claudia Jessie (Line Of Duty, Their Finest) as Edith. Tolkien In Love is based on real events and written by Sean Grundy, whose previous work for Radio 4 has been Sony and Tinniswood Award nominated.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, CBB Twin Ros.

i hope you've all had a good day. Mine was busy, but productive. My friends cooked tea and we watched "a dog's purpose" afterwards. It was lovely
Good morning everyone
Glad you had tea cooked for you and had a nice evening, Summer.
Heavy rain overnight and chilly this morning. I had to put on the heating.
Off to the nurse for routine bloods this morning and getting my hair cut this afternoon.
Have a good day, all.
Good morning everyone, showery here too. Sounds like a lovely evening and your friends seem to be having a great time on their visit Summer. How is the hairstyle shaping up for the wedding Yogi, are you on track for the look you want?
Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone
Sunny here, there may be showers later and becoming windy.
The solar eclipse on Monday will hardly be noticeable in the UK (approx 7.35 pm) as the moon will cover just 4% of the sun so no effect on the brightness of the sun - so don't be tempted to look out at the sun.
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone.
Weather is dry and bright but rain is forecast for later.
Middle son is going to pop in for a visit at some point today - no other visitors are expected.
Have a good weekend, everyone.
