I knew nothing about this when I posted that list of words.

Good morning everyone
Cloudy and cool here, some rain a short time ago. Wind is coming from the north/north-east which is why it's not warm out there.
Summer, my word isn't on that list as it's my own invention: soggy-oggy which is a used tea bag
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning Buddies
The sun has crept through, just a little
Washing on the line. No shopping to do
Thats my day day sorted, already
Well not quite, I'm sure I will fine something to occupy myself rather than just watching the telly
Have a great day and I hope the sun shines on you at sometime today

Love that word El
Good morning everyone, quite a bright morning, well at least it's dry, quite a few clouds but from tomorrow the forecast is better and drier (lots of dry washing for you Moonie )
Enjoy your day everyone
I doubt if I could get my soggy-oggy word accepted by any dictionary though
Appararently oggy is a Cornish slang word for a Cornish pasty (short for hoggan, a Cornish word).
It's possible that the football chant "oggy oggy oggy" followed by "oi oi oi" is derived from that Cornish word.
Just announced that an 18 year old man has been arrested in Dover in connection with yesterday's terror attack in London.

El, it should be in a dictionary
It's a genuine learning curve on here with you

I doubt the Welsh rugger fans would agree with you there but anything is possible

That good
Good morning cool here today and with light showers
lol at Soggy oggy! I have this game where I stand at the back door and launch my soggy oggies down the garden, to see if I can land them at the base of my roses
Moonie, Max Boyce popiularised the phrase "oggy oggy oggy" in the 1970s where it became used at Welsh rugby matches but it seems that the phrase as used in Cornwall is much much older

Yep, I remember Max Boyce

Lol not likely! She's not the retrieving kind
Evening all I hope you've had a good day it's been pleasant here, and I've finally got a quiet evening in to myself
Good morning everyone
Cloudy here, could get a shower or two during the day but quite likely there won't be any.
Talking Pictures channel has The Hurricane (1937) on this morning starting at 10 am. For anyone who likes disaster films, this is a must if you haven't seen it before. The film is set on a South Sea island in Polynesia so strictly the film should be called The Cyclone (same as a hurricane which is in a different part of the world). The cyclone section of the film is exceptional and is quite scary. And the scenes with Dorothy Lamour and Mary Astor don't use doubles.
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone, a beautiful morning and it's fascinating to see the beginning of the autumn colours creeping into the trees on the opposite hillside.
Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning Buddies
A pleasant start to the day here. Quite bright but I haven't ventured out yet
I hope Yogi and hubby are enjoying their break
Have a happy and hopefully sunny Sunday everyone
Yesterday in the car park the car which had been parked next to mine had a logo which I didn't recognise. I've now identified it as a Tesla electric car. It was as long as the car bay length and looked expensive. Might have been a model X where the prices start at ÂĢ76,500 and go up to ÂĢ121,800. Substantially more than the cost of all the cars I've ever bought.
Hopefully I didn't scratch it on the way out (I didn't)
