Yogi, sounds like your toaster is toast

I hope your assembly goes well and that the tiddlers enjoy decorating tomorrow

Good morning everyone, lots of cloud this morning, a bit grey.  I hope all goes well with tree assembling Yogi, the littlies will enjoy decorating it tomorrow.

Enjoy your day everyone

Been getting in touch with those clients who I had needed to put off seeing last week. Been to the local sub post office to post a box of papers back to a client. 30 minutes waiting in the queue due to people dealing with Christmas post, some going overseas.Client dropped off his papers this morning unannounced. I told him he was lucky not to have come here last week but it seems that he had had much the same as me and had been signed off wotk for a couple of weeks with a chest infection (I'm aware that he has a long term health issue which wouldn't have helped).

Truly amazing BBC article today about a rainbow in Taiwan which lasted for 9 hours. In the pictures you can make out a triple rainbow.

I did get to see yesterday's supermoon, not that it looked much diiferent from a regular full moon. Here's a link to some photos which people took if you missed it:

The media is mentioning La Niña and some of the media may say that the weather here is going to be extremely cold with blizzards for weeks to come. If you want a more measured view, the Met Office issued a news release about this today:

Although some areas may get hit later this week, it's more likely to be the north and north-west. Met Office isn't expected a repeat of the winter of 2010/11.

Thanks Squiggle 

If you've seen the memorable WWF advert about elephants, the music for that is taken from a piece of music by Max Richter called War Anthem. It was part of his music for the ballet Woolf Works which I posted about back in July.

Audio only:

Very sombre but powerful.

Fantastic! I have rainbow envy now.

That elephant advert which is the most powerful advert of the year can be seen on the production company's website:

It's the Just Like Us advert of course.

The I am Water - Dreaming and the WWF Brand film adverts are worth watching and aren't as sad as the elephant one.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone, we've got rain again and it's forecast to be worse tomorrow!

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning sorry I’ve been awol, it’s heen a busy time here  

how are you all? 

Happy tree day yogi

Squiggle, I hope your weather isn't as bad as your forecast

Summer, my bug has cleared up a lot now and my voice is less croaky than it was

As it's fairly mild and been dry for a couple of days I gathered fallen leaves from the back. I used the mower with bag to collect the leaves off the lawn (the leaves were reasonably dry so that was fairly effective way of doing that). Then walked to see a local client to get their tax returns signed off (husband and wife).

Make sure you have the sound on before trying this out:

I’m glad you’re feeling better El that’s brilliant. Well done on sorting out those leaves, it’s a tough job 

Thanks Summer

Evening all 

Had a really good day with the children, they loved dressing the tree.

I dare not tweak it as PB knows exactly where she placed each and every bauble 

I’ll check out the Dickens link after I’ve watched MC and IAC, El.

I hope you’ve all had a good day.

Good evening  

lol at PB what if “silly grandad” or Keira accidentally bumped into the tree, knocking the occasional bauble off.. they would need replacing wouldn’t they

Evening Summer.

She’d still put it back the way it was 

🤣🤣🤣 she’s going to be a brilliant decorater herself in years to come

 She decorated the tree in their playroom, with BB’s help, of course.

Aw and how did he enjoy himself?

He loves PB so much, he copies everything she does. He had a great time.

We watched The Lady and The Tramp this afternoon. He sat on my lap for the whole film, he really enjoyed it as much as PB.

That’s adorable! ☺️ They melt my heart 

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that movie 🤔 hows that possible!  

I'm waiting for the Xmas TV guide to come out, it’s taking aaaaages this year

Off to read before I conk out.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer and Ros 

I’m not far behind you, sweet dreams yogi night Ros

night yogi and summer

Good morning everyone

Cloudy, dry and mild here. All change tonight and tomorrow though Caroline's impact less than elsewhere.

Yogi, I'm glad the tree decorating went well Take photos of it from all angles so that if any bauble gets knocked off you can put it back in the right place

Summer, Lady and the Tramp is worth watching if you get a chance to

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning dry and overcast here too, I’m looking forward to a nice long walk today  

el, i’ll Look out for lady & the tramp among the Xmas tv listings  

Good morning everyone, a cloudy morning, no rain yet but due to start this afternoon and the weekend looks awful.

Awww I have fond memories of me and my future hubby going to see Lady and the Tramp when we were courting, I hope you enjoy it Summer.  I just looked it up to see when it was released and it was 1955 but I think they used to run a season of Disney films as we were courting in the early 60's.

Enjoy your day everyone

Summer, I hope you enjoy your long walk

Squiggle, you would be right about the Disney films. For many years Disney refused to let them be shown on television in this country, there was no such things as VHS tapes then, and they would re-release their films in cinemas for many years as that was the only way people could get to see them. The first Disney film I saw was in the cinema and that was Pinocchio which would have been in the late 50s.
