I think many of us would agree

By the way, if the 7th planet named after one of the Greek gods was pronounced in the Greek it would be "Ur Ran Noss"

Afternoon all.

My minding duties are over for now.

Glad to hear you are feeling a little better, El, and hope you are soon back to normal.

 That made me RL lol

Hope you have all had a good day.

Thanks Yogi

I've just rung my brother to let him know I'm still around and to check that he wasn't showing any signs of having got my cold or flu what it is. He hasn't which was good news. I kept the call short as it's difficult talking but said to him that hopefully by the weekend I'll be more able to talk.

Good evening 👋 🦉 🎅🏻 i hope you’ve all had a good day I’ve been a busy bee again but I’m now actually in bed early! 

El, I’m glad your brother hasn’t caught it and I’m pleased to hear you’re on the up. Some fresh air for a short time tomorrow will probably do you good 

Goodnight everyone

Hi Summer.

I’ve had a mad thread hopping evening. Things should be back to normal tomorrow.

Goodnight and sweet dreams.

It’s been a busy, thread hopping night, Ros 

Goodnight and sweet dreams.

Good morning everyone

Cold and failry sunny here. No snow forecast here though others will get some.

I'm continuing to recover and may venture out when the frost lifts

Yogi, you must have been exhausted by your thread hopping night

Ricicles are twicicles as nicicles no more:

Good morning everyone.

Woke to a light dusting of snow on the ground - very pretty 

El, I hope you are continuing to feel better 

Out and about today, I have banking and grocery shopping to do.

Have a good day, everyone.

We posted at the same time.

lol at the BiB ^^^

An advert from about 50 years ago:

Good morning everyone, it cold with a strong breeze but, like you EL, hopefully no snow.  I'm glad you are starting to feel better EL, you are wise to wait until the frost is clear, breathing in cold air is not good for the chest, especially if you are under the weather.

I would have thought cereals were a matter of choice, I once liked Frosties but now choose a healthier cereal.  If parents don't want their children to have a sugary cereal there are plenty to choose from in the healthier range.  Oh well maybe it's just me but I get tired of the powers that be deciding everything for us.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning I hope you all slept well it’s very cold here, and icy. But it’s bright & sunny so we’re happy 

I like Cheerios and shreddies  

It's been many years since I've had any cereal other than the muesli I get from the fairtrade stall in church.  When I haven't been able to get it from church I get it from the local Co-op which stocks Dorset Cereals muesli.

Good morning everyone  

It was very frosty and cold here this morning. The sun is out but it’s very windy. I haven’t ventured out and don’t intend to either 

El, good to see your feeling better since the last time I was here 

Yogi, coffs...cake...coffs 

I have been catching up on my Christmas shopping and writing on my Christmas cards. I have writers cramp now 

Just two more to buy and four to fill in, phew! 

Have a great day and stay warm   

Thanks Moonie and well done on progressing with your Christmas planning

Well done Moonie 👍 I must get my cards written, I’ve never been so behind with them 

it’s proper snowing here, and laying on the ground ☃️❄️☃️❄️☃️❄️☃️ It’s very exciting 

Summer, it's snowing where you are because you are known for loving it

I found this lengthy interview with Honeysuckle Weeks which she did for a Yorkshire paper mid October where she was about to do some stage work there. She talks openly about being in a mental health unit and continuing to receive councelling and other things. You will recall that she disappeared last year for some days before she was found safe.

Afternoon all 

Squiggle, I agree about having choice. I don’t like the idea of a nanny state.

Moonie, well done on getting your cards written. I haven’t started mine yet 

Summer, is there enough snow for a snowman

El, thanks for the link. It’s good to hear Honeysuckle sounding so positive again.

Yogi, I remembered that advert as well though had forgotten that Kellogg's had used Noddy in their adverts for some time. This is an even older advert from 1955. It's possible that when I mentioned a few days ago having read virtually nothing with Noddy that what I had read was on Kellogg's cereal boxes which we had on a regular basis.

That one is before my time 

Yogi, although my parents had television in 1955, they only had one channel - BBC Television and that broadcast for say 15.00 to 22.30 rather than round the clock. Although ITV started broadcasting in 1955, that was in London only. Although it became national over the following years, our aerial only got BBC where we lived. We eventually got ITV when we moved in 1967. So I never got to see adverts until then.

My parents actually got a television in 1953. Their house was packed with neighbours to see:

Night owl hug in case Summer pops in

EL hope you are feeling better

Good morning everyone

Cold and sunny here but no frost.

Thanks Ros Getting better but it's taking time.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone 

Weather is really cold and frosty. Brrr!

I need to restock on my bird food supplies today, as they are very hungry atm.

I’ve got a very shy little wren visiting my garden, it’s so tiny! 

Have a good day, everyone

that's why a wren was the symbol used on the old farthing coin, the smallest coin. It was used on coins between 1937 and 1956 (ceased to be legal tender in 1960)

Good morning everyone, like you EL very cold but not frosty.  I didn't know that was why the wren was used on the farthing EL, probably my favourite bird, they are so quick in their movements, I love to watch them.

Enjoy your day everyone

They are very cute 

Although the wren was shown on farthings because it was thought at the time thay they were the smallest British birds, there are smaller ones such as the goldcrest,

Good afternoon guess which silly girl left her phone charger at work yesterday and had no battery last night..? 🙈 

I hope you’re all keeping warm and dry have you had snow? We had a good pouring of it yesterday, which laid! It’s melting away now but it’s a very exciting start to advent

Summer, there's been no snow here at all but none was expected in this part of the country. It's possible that there might have been some on the top of the Cotswold hills further to the east of here.

Are you saying that you forgot your phone charger yesterday

On the bird theme, I witnessed something sad today.

I was in the kitchen and heard high pitched screeching. In my garden, a sparrow hawk had caught a starling and killed it, before flying off with it.

Silly billy 

We had a fine dusting of snow - very pretty 

That's sad Yogi but best not to think about it too much
