Moonie, I hope you are getting better from your cold/sore throat 
Squiggle, I think the weather is not as bad this week as last's. Locally for me it seems to be generally cloudy, bits of rain at times, much less windy, and temperatures getting a bit cooler during the week.
Summer, it will mean an extra hour in bed next Saturday night. The clock change won't affect me as much as those who drive home on the following Monday evenng when they find that they are driving at night rather than at day.
I decided not to watch BBC's Gunpowder (about the famous gunpowder plot, Robert Catesby and Guy/Guido Fawkes) as if it was going to be an accurate retelling it would be hard to watch.
There have been complaints about the violence in the first episode.

If you know your history you would know that it would be very hard to watch. And if you thought the first episode was too violent and grisly, that's nothing compared to what eventually happens. If it's faithful, it's at the far top end of the 18 certificate. Amazon is showing 15 which must mean that it won't be, but that would be provisonal as it hasn't been rated by the BBFC yet.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that you may like this more than any other clip I've ever mentioned here.

I sent you on Saturday though as it's an inflatable one it would take a lot of puff to inflate it
The tiddlers may be able to help
Iâll get hubby to blow it up
Summer, I quite like the dark winter nights....so long as I am warm and cosy in my own home

Love it 
I had a lovely few hours with B.B. today. He was giggling and laughing the whole time.
Poor PB was delighted to see me when I went to pick her up from nursery but cried when she realised I was handing her and BB over to DiL a few minutes later - she thought she was coming to my house. I consoled her by telling her we are going to make gingerbread biscuits when she comes tomorrow.
Yogi, I'm glad you had a lovely time with BB and was able to console PB with the idea of making gingerbread biscuits
Or, as it's coming towards November 5th, there's parkin biscuits if you have the ingredients:

Just a brief visit. Went to the doctors to get some antibiotics and cough mixture this morning
See you again soon
Have a good evening everyone
Aww, hope you get well soon, Moonie
Goodnight and sweet dreams, everyone
Hugs for the night owls
Good evening 
*night owls* did someone say gingerbread?! 
I've got friends staying this weekend, so I'm glad we get an extra hour together 
yogi I'm like you with the dark nights, I don't mind them. I light lots of candles and get cosy, hygge style!
El, I saw the first few minutes of Gunpowder, mostly to swoon over Kit Harrington 
but a friend called me so I had to mute the volume. I did read in previews that it was very violent. I'd be interested in the story though, so I may end up watching it at a later date
night yogi and summer
Good morning damp and overcast today. I hope you all slept well
moonie i I hope your medicines are starting to take effect, get well soon
yogi i hope you have fun baking today
El, I look forward to the answer
squiggle, how are you? I feel like I've not spoken to you properly for ages
The insurance premium for this car must be huge and about to get even higher:

Good morning everyone, windy and wet yet again. I'm pretty sure that's not what they are forecasting but that seems to be what we are getting. They keep promising us drier weather but so far nothing, I feel like this
Squiggle, I hope the weather does improve for you as promised It's breezy here and some rain in the air.
Talking of novelty presents reminded me of a Christmas present my grandfather gave me when I was young and at junior school. It's very unlikely that it would be given nowadays. A box of chocolates in the shape of cigarettes and pipes which had an odd taste to them. Might have been tobacco taste but that's something I've never tried. He was a pipe smoker and this would have been in the late 50s so before the time when it became generally known as a health hazard.

The boiler engineers are still at my neighbour's house installing the Worcester combi boiler - 3 and a half days so far. I spoke with the neighbour at the weekend - they were having problems trying to get the central heating circulating and doing a power flush of the pipework.
Good evening all
Itâs raining up here.
Squiggle, I hope you are enjoying your grandsonâs company and the two little ones.
El, was the Viking still working on the neighbourâs boiler?
Summer, you would have approved of PBâs choice of cookie cutters - a star, a heart and a snowman B.B. â helpedâ too.
Moonie, I hope you are feeling a bit better.
night yogi and summer if you pop in moons hope you are feeling better
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros
Good morning everyone
Quite sunny here once the sun is a bit higher.
Yogi, I think it might have been a different boiler engineer this week. Last week besides Viking man, there was another van from the same company and also a grey van. This week just the grey van and one company van. I think they may have finished as the vans aren't here this morning - they had been arriving before this time.
Moonie, I hope you are feeling better today
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone.
Itâs still raining up here.
What a shame, El, I was looking forward to another of your Viking stories You actually had me believing the boat story for a minute. Iâm such a chump trusting soul.
Out and about today, and hoping to avoid getting soaked. *crosses fingers*
Have a good day everyone
Good morning everyone, a much brighter morning with plenty of blue sky I'm happy to report. I hope it is the same everywhere, we could all do with a bit of sunshine.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good afternoon Buddies
We have a nice day so far here. A little sun, a little breeze and not too cool
Fankoo for all your good wishes. I am feeling a little better today
Yogi, hope you manage to stay dry
Playing catchup with my washing. First lot on the line at 8-45 
Hopefully it will be dry soon
Hope everyone has a good day
Velvet, I hope all is OK for you
The strange thing about that phone call was that this morning when I got up I had a feeling that something big in tax would happen today. Months ago I posted about one of my clients having a seriously incorrect letter from her pension people. That was sorted out with the pension people but I warned her that if they had sent the wrong info to HMRC she could get a horrific tax bill from HMRC months later. I thought it might be that so I checked on the HMRC account for here and that was OK. But then I got that phone call an hour later. I haven't made this up.
In the USA, Amazon are launching Amazon Key. For people who decide to opt for this and have a smart lock and a Cloud Cam camera, couriers will be able to unlock people's front doors and deliver the package inside their home.

The huge question of course is security.
Iâm glad youâve got some blue sky, Squiggle and really glad you are feeling a bit better, Moonie
Good to see you in here, Velvet. You have been missed.
El, I know what Iâd like to do with those scammers
I donât think I would ever use the Amazon Key thing.
Oh no, I hope you get your anti virus sorted quickly tomorrow
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet and Ros
Night owl hug for Summer

Moonie I hope the meds are kicking in now and you are feeling better. Summer I'm fine, very busy as my eldest grandson has come to live with me for a while, his 2 little ones are as entertaining as ever. I bought a novelty money box which they were fascinated with, the mysterious hand in the box which comes out and grabs the money. Kept us all amused for ages! I hope life is treating you well, I'm sure it is as I read all about it in the Buddies, and I am so pleased for youEnjoy your day everyone
that sounds like fun! I hope you are all enjoying the new living arrangement, the presence of the children must be such a joy
Thanks for the night owl hugs everyone I hope you all slept tight
my friends have arrived, much to Bramble's delight. I spent the day at a water park where I went on the scariest rides, I was scared but made myself just go ahead and do them lol I'm glad I did
i then spilled an entire milkshake in my car thank god I had a pile of towels in the boot, I soon soaked it up and gave it all a good scrub when I got home.
El I hope your software is fixable can you get online with any other devices?
yogi I hope you've had a lovely day
moonie i I hope you soon feel better .hug:
night yogi summer velvet
