I was sunny here early on but going cloudy now
Sweet, Iâm glad you are having such a good time. Safe journey home tomorrow
Have a great day everyone
I'm sorry to hear that you are clouding over
I love my typos
I like typographical errors as well
The word typographical comes from the word type (not surprising). Type comes from ancient Greek ÏÏÏÎŋÏ (pronounced typos). That means an impression or an image caused by a blow (such as a typewriter strikebar for a letter hits the ribbon causing an impression on the paper).
night everybody moons
Good morning everyone it looks like it will be a sunny day today. I hope Yogi is having a great time and that Summer has a trouble-free journey home.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Sunny here today. Less chance of rain compared to yesterday - there were a downpour late evening.
I hope Yogi is having a good time and that Summer has a straightfowards journey home 
My pavement is yet to be done.
I hope everyone has a good day

Watched a 1943 British film called "The Demi-Paradise". Russian engineer (Laurence Olivier) comes to England to assist in the construction of a new propellor for an ice-breaking ship prior to the second world war, returns home, then comes back to England to finalise the construction during the war. Part drama, part romantic comedy, part propaganda to show support with Russia when the Nazins invaded that country. Quite watchable though not on a par with Ninotchka.
The most unusual scene was this one. Beatrice Harrison was known for doing this for the BBC. You'll need to have the sound up a bit.
Evening all
I havenât had time to read back yet so I hope everyone is well
Hubby and I had a lovely time.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros
Hug for any night owls
night yogi and moons
Good morning everyone it's another beautiful morning. I'm glad you had a good time Yogi.
Enjoy your day everyone
Filming of an episode of Doctor Who is taking place today and tomorrow in Gloucester.

Locations are in Gloucester Cathedral, College Street (which links the cathedral with Westgate Street) and Westgate Street.
Saw someone from Virgin Media putting a protective cover over where tha cable would be coming up from under the pavement into my forecourt to reduce the risk that the cable is severed this morning. No sign yet as to when my part of the pavement will get replaced so obviously the end date for the work of today has been missed.
Saw a roadworker daubing signs on the pavement so had a chat with him. He said that today's finishing estimate had been rather optimistic. They expect to be finished by the end of next week or the early part of the week after that. They had had problems, some of which was down to severing the Virgin Media cable for 3 other houses in the road. That's why Virgin Media came this morning to put a protective cap at the connection at my house and at other houses.
I wouldn't pay anything for this laptop

Moonie, in this part of the world, roadworks seem to go on longer than the original forecast. For instance there was a major reconstruction of the junction near the local University campus here. The project was said by the contractors to run from 2 August last year to 13 March. It actually finished last week.
