Good morning everyone

Thanks everyone, I managed to leave the client and get home before the weather got worse. I think my client had been storing up questions to ask me, most of which were irrelevant to her. Would she be able to claim part of the cost of improvements to her house - irrelevant as her work could only be at the place she works which would never be at home (outside being in a small rural community).

Today's weather is better than yesterday or the weekend though may be quite windy at times.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone, breezy with some blue sky but I expect we'll get a shower or two.  I'm glad you got home before it was dark and before the weather turned bad EL.

Enjoy your day everyone

Thanks Squiggle

Good morning all 

Sky is dark and grey, with breeze and heavy showers.

El, I’m glad you got home before the weather got worse

I don’t fancy living in a city under the sea - I’d be too worried about leaks.

Off to visit my parents and get my hair cut this afternoon. Dad is driving again now so I don’t need to wait to take the hairdresser home afterwards.

Have a good day, everyone.

Thanks Yogi, I hope you don't get rained on after you've been to the hairdriesser if there's a shower and I'm glad you dad is now able to drive again

BBC article on the most popular names given to babies last year:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-45559619

Note this only covers England and Wales.

There are a couple of things to do there. One is to see how popular your name was last year. The other one lets you select an area in England and Wales to see what the most popular name given in that area.

I have missed a twirl?  

Good morning everyone  

Very cold and cloudy here 

Rain expected later, for a while 

Have a great day Buddies  

Squiggle and Moonie, surprise, surprise, it's raining here and set to last until the evening, then another lot tomorrow morning

I have a confession to make - a few minutes ago I told a lie. "Jack" with an accent from Asia rang me to ask questions about lifestyle - you know the type I mean. So I told him that he was lying as his real name wasn't "Jack" and the phone number of my caller display wasn't their real phone number. I then told him that I was registered with TPS and that therefore he was committing a criminal offence in breach of the Government Data Protection Regulations.  He was taken aback and started saying "I'm sorry" over and over again as he hadn't realised it was a private number.

Of course it's General, not Government, but that's quite effective

Some days ago I mentioned that the Church Commssioners were considering whether ot not to get involved with Wonga due to Frank Field writing to them. I was a bit surprised. After considering this they've decided not to. Officially "they are not as well placed as others to take this forward."

Someone might have pointed out what the King James version of Matthew 6 v 9 to 13 says (which is the Lord's Prayer).

Evening all 

We’ve been tidying the garden today - in between showers.

I hope you’ve all had a good day 

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros

Good morning everyone

Raining here steadily though forecast to end at the end of the morning.

Yogi, well done on getting any gardening done yesterday I don't think many people in my area will be doing much if any today

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone, menacing clouds everywhere but dry at the moment, still a very chill breeze and altogether another miserable morning.

Enjoy your day everyone

The rain has stopped here now and there's some sunshine but showers are possible.

Squiggle, I hope your weather becomes less miserable

On the BBC site, this extraordinary item. It's lengthy but is definitely worth reading (and there are a couple of video clips which play automatically as you scroll down)

Good afternoon Buddies  

It’s been wet, sunny and dry in equal portions so far today 

It’s cold too with a blustery wind 

Have a great afternoon/evening one and all  

Moonie, it's all because of The Wrong of Autumn, Igor Stravinsky's follow up which he never got round to actually writing

Good evening 👋 a very pleasant day here, shame to have been doing housework and snoozing most of it, but i did make pancakes for friends for brunch  

hope you all had a lovely weekend  

how are you now Squiggle? 

Evening all 

Went to the garden centre, then to a carvery for lunch.

After that, I had a lazy day.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros

Good morning everyone

Sunny here for a change, but the coldest night for some months with 5 C outside when I got up.

Summer, at least you had some pancakes

Yogi, garden centre, carvery and lazy day 

I hope everyoen has a good day

Good morning everyone, such a change from yesterday a nice bright sunny morning Sounds like a good day was had by all yesterday, not too bad thanks Summer.

Enjoy your day everyone

As Weight Watchers have said that it's now called WW does that mean that their websites will become "www.ww"

night everybody

Good morning everyone

Another sunny but cold start to the day here.

I hope Yogi is OK, no sign of her here at all yesterday, could be tiddler minding though

Straightforward client meeting this morning.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone, a heavy dew this morning, usually a precursor to frost on the way but a lovely bright morning with hardly a cloud in the sky.

Enjoy your day everyone

Back from that client meeting - straightforward as expected

I'm not surprised that the company which had been responsible to sorting out potholes in Gloucestershire has been replaced (from next April).

The negative comments about the existing company are justified.
