Good afternoon Buddies 
Hope your day is going well 
Lovely and sunny here but a nice cool breeze so not to hot 
Washing done and dried
Have a lovely evening everyone
Evening all. 
Mr Y can join you gents in the Twilight Zone. On more than one occasion someone has approached him, nattering away like he was an old friend. Then Mr Y speaks and they go 
"You're English, you aren't him!".
We still have no idea who "he" is.
El, I'd never heard of a poustinik before.
Well done on getting your washing dried, Moonie. It's been a mix of sunshine and light showers here today.
Uplifting video, Squiggle.
Goodnight and sweet dreams. Hugs for any night owls.
night yogi and summer if you pop in
Good morning everyone
It's sunny here - one might think it's summer
Yogi, I confess that I couldn't remember the word poustinik - it was quite a long time ago when it was mentioned. I remembered that it was a Russian word and had to do a search to find it.
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone, it's a lovely morning here, a little spoilt by Mr Badger who seems to have turned up with his whole family last night and had a real good go at my lawn. So I've been out and rectified the damage. He often seems to choose a Saturday night! Do you think it's his idea of a good night out?
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone.
Weather is dry with flashes of sun. El, I think Summer has forgotten to visit Scotland.
lol Squiggle, let's hope Mr Bagder chooses someone else's garden for his wild party next week.
Off to see eldest son and DiL's integral garage conversion. PB and BB now have a lovely playroom to keep their thousands of toys.
Have a good day, everyone.
Squiggle, I'm sorry that Mr Badger & co had a go at your lawn overnight I reckon he and his mates were worse for drink and didn't know what they were doing.
Yogi, I hope you are impressed with the garage conversion and have a nice time playing in seeing the playroom
Good afternoon Buddies
Wall to wall sunshine since 7am this morning. Getting really quite hot here now
A slight breeze but nothing to write home about
Squiggle, I wonder if Mr Badger and family may need a "morning after cure' after lasts nights foray into your garden 
Yogi, I am sure the toys will be glad of some breathing space
Hi El, I hope your day is a good
Those of you who have sunshine, enjoy it while it lasts
Moonie, it's still pleasant weather here
The ancient Cirencester abbey is being rebulit - in lego:

Pleased your weather is good too El
The abbey does look spectacular 
The abbey in Cirencester is long gone thanks to Henry VIII. The most notable church there in the centre is St John's. Many years ago I was at the premises of one of the firm's clients. We were shown around the premises and were able to get on to the roof where we got an exceptional view of the town centre including that church.

Henry VIII destroyed a lot of places of worship in his time, didn't he El?
I bet that view was stunning
We have some rather lovely churches around here. Then odd cathedral too
Moonie, yes, Henry VIII did - a partial list of the monasteries he dissolved:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...enry_VIII_of_England
That doesn't mean that they were all destroyed. For instance Tewkesbury Abbey was saved by the people of Tewkesbury insisting that it was their parish church, they bought it from the Crown, and it survived intact to this day where it is still the most important C of E church there.
Evening all
The garage conversion looks great. Son has decorated it beautifully and the children love it.
El, that must have been a fantastic view from the roof of the abbey.
Great video, Moonie.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, everyone.
Night owl hugs for Ros and Summer.
*night owls* sweet dreams yogi, I'm glad the conversion looks fab
my quiet weekend didnt quite go as planned; my friends husband has taken ill and ended up in hospital, so I kept their daughter occupied last night.
Today has been a beautiful summers day here, we did a nice walk and bramble took a mud bath in a stinky puddle 
night yogi summer-sorry about your friends husband
Good morning 
happy bank holiday! it feels so good to be laying in!
I hope you all slept well, what are you doing today? I'll be relaxing at home
Good morning everyone, a nice morning here. I do hope your friend's husband recovers quickly Summer and is able to leave hospital soon, enjoy your relaxing day.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone.
Weather is overcast and rain is forecast.
Going out and about with hubby then doing all the housework and ironing I won't be able to do tomorrow when the tiddlers are here
Summer, I hope your friend's hubby makes a quick recovery.
lol at Bramble in the stinky puddle - did you have to give her a bath?
Have a good BH Monday, everyone south of the border.
Oh Wow! I heard a noise and looked up the Red Arrows just flew by! Right down the valley.
Squiggle, the Red Arrows were at Gloucesterstershire yesterday afternoon, I didn;t see them but they flew over Tewkesbury. I have seen them before. I remember them when I was at school and they flow over the school - that would have been a couple of years after they were first formed.

Ohhh well done Bramble, I mean norty lil gal
Well done on the child minding. I'm sure she was thoroughly entertained
I know that there's no interest in cricket here but this was on the test match commentary on the radio yesterday - it's rather unusual. Check that the sound isn't muted before playing the audio clip.

I listened to that too El
Brian Johnson was an absolute legend. I loved his giggling fits and some of the stuff he came out with
El Loro posted:Moonie, the weather forecasters keep on about this could be the hottest ever late August bank holiday Monday - that being for the south east though rather warm for many other places.
I was watching the weather forecast earlier and they said it was heading for the highest 'end of August Bank Holiday' ever

The most famous one (at the Oval in the test match between England and West Indies in 1976) has never been proved to have been actually said though the bowler in the quote did bowl to the batsman in the quote so it is possible.
Evening all.
It's been rainy and chilly here today
I got everything done that I had planned.
The Red Arrows are amazing, Squiggle and El, you are lucky to have seen them.
Gents, I'm afraid I know absolutely nothing about cricket.
I hope you've all had a good day.

The nearest I got to watching cricket was a comedy series called Outside Edge.

Are England not doing quite well ATM?
I only got an hour of sleep last night and I'm minding tomorrow so I'm going to have an early night. Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie.
Hugs for Ros and Summer
Sweet dreams yogi I hope you get much more sleep tonight
I've had the loveliest day! The house is clean, the grass is cut, the game of thrones season finale was brilliant and I had a casual walk with bramble
I'm afraid I know nothing about cricket either but I hope you're enjoying it boys
