Good morning everyone 
Another cloudy coolish day here though may stay dry.
The old joke. Sherlock was gardening when Watson came over and asked what he was planting. "A lemon tree, Watson".
By the way, my brother gets his tickets from a different site than that Great Western Railways one which was hacked.
I hope everyone has a good day 
Good morning, everyone
Weather is dry, bright and windy. It feels quite cold atm.
El, I’m glad your brother hasn’t been affected by the GWR hacking.
Moonie, I hope your weather improves
Have a good day, everyone.

Good morning everyone, well that's a bit better, a much brighter morning with a hint of sunshine to come, I hope your weather brightens up as the day progresses if it's not as nice as it could be.
Velvet you know that you are a Buddy as much as any of us are
Enjoy your day everyone
"Kevin" just rang me to say that I was experiencing a slowdown with my BT internet connection and was ringing me to sort this out.
EL "I don't have BT"
K "You do"
repeated a couple of times.
El "there are other internet providers besides BT"
K "No, there aren't"
El "There are"
K "No, there aren't"
El "have you never heard of cable internet providers?"
K ends call.
Short BBC interview today with Tim Schafer who is in London to receive a BAFTA award.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-43738954/
For people who've been playing computer adventure games as long as I have, his name will be recognised from the 1990s. He did the original Monkey Island games, Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango.
I've been bug hunting with the accounts and tax sofware I use for clients. The draft 17/18 software came though a couple of weeks ago. I thought I had found something but needed to wait for the official release which came through today. But the bug I had found in the draft is still there. It relates to a new item which was introduced in the 17/18 tax return. I won't bother to go into details as it's of little interest to most people. I've been loooking at various HMRC explanatory notes and have sent an email to my software people with my findings.
At present, I think that this is a bug with the software I use rather than anything the HMRC has done.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, everyone
Hugs for the night owls
night yogi summer if you pop in
Good morning everyone
It’s raining, up here.
No plans for today, except housework and ironing
Have a good day, everyone
Yogi, at least you won't get a soaking with the housework and ironing
I watched Oh, Mr Porter (1937) again last night. I think it's probably the first British comedy film made which still remains a very good, likeable and funny film. If you've never seen it, it's worth catching if it gets shown again (most likely on the Talking Pictures channel).
Good morning everyone, back to grey and cold this morning - one step forward two steps back. Our robin landed on my grandson's foot while he was sitting on the deck yesterday reminding him that the bird feeder was empty!
Enjoy your day everyone
Although the song Oh, Mr Porter is sung over the opening credits, the film has nothing to do with the song. Will Hay plays William Porter, a rather incompetent railway worker who gets a job as a station porter in Buggleskelly.
He made a number of comedies with Moore Marriott and Graham Moffatt. Although the name of his character varied, Moore Marriott played Jeremiah Harbottle (or variations such as Jerry) and Graham Moffatt played Albert Brown (or just Albert) in their films together.
There was concern when Horace the dinosaur disappeared but it ended happily:

Good evening another full day of fog & rain here, that’s 4 in a row now and everyone’s spirits are just as gloomy.
I hope youve all had a better week
Evening Summer.
We had rain this morning and then it was overcast the rest of the day. Depressing weather.
Very, I want the sun to come out
how was your day?
My day was okay thanks. Did lots of ironing.
How was your day....apart from the rubbish weather?
Apart from that it’s been good thank you 
Bramble is trying to kick me off my own pillow! I’m totally ignoring her lol
How is keira lately?

Naughty Bramble
Keira sleeps a lot but she is eating well and seems quite happy.
She’s quite elderly but, she’s the equivalent of a 91 year old so we can’t expect anything else.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer and Ros
Ooh I just nodded off for a moment 
sweet dreams yogi & Ros 🤗
Good morning the sun is out at last!!!!!! Blue skies and sunshine
i hope you’ve each got the same too
Good morning everyone
Shock, horror 
there's some blue sky here at long last 
I hope the weather is improving for everyone else 
Tonight's episode of Pointless Celebrities may be of more interest to you than normal as the contestants seem to be associated with long running British police/crime series. In particular one team is the late Bill Maynard and Tricia Penrose (so Heartbeat).
Another team is Trudie Goodwin and Lisa Maxwell (so The Bill).
A third team is Liz Carr (Silent Witness) and Lisa Hammond (I assume her role in Vera)
The other team is Danny John-Jules (Death in Paradise) and Nigel Lindsay.
The BBC site is referring to this as a drama actors one so Nigel Lindsay may be for his role in Victoria rather than any police series and it could be that Lisa Hammond is there because of Eastenders rather than Vera.
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone
Up here, it’s grey and overcast.
El, I might try to catch that episode of Pointless, as I like all of those programmes.
Have a good day, all.
Good morning everyone, sunshiny here too! Woo hoo seems that most of us Buddies are bathed in sunshine 
Enjoy your day everyone
I'm getting more and more of those fake failed delivery emails. Latest one comes from "frank@fedex.co.uk". So looks genuine at first sight though their site is fedex.com. Format of the email is the same as others with them wanting me to download a shipping label which is their way of infecting my computer.
The clue is that the web address which it goes to is the same as previous emails and that the tracking number is 20 digits long which is longer than the normal Fedex tracking number (12 or 14 digits).
