Although Cheltenham is Cheltenham Spa, the spas in Cheltenham dwindled throught fewer tourists being interested. One can still sample spa water at the Pittville Pump Room but that's not something I've ever done.
no worse luck EL 
Good morning everyone it's a chilly morning with a few clouds and blue bits. I'm glad all went well with your appointments Moonie. I hope the wardrobe painting goes according to plan Summer.
Enjoy your day everyone 
Good morning a cool but sunny 11 degrees here, it’s the first time I’ve felt a little hint of autumn to come 
I’m sure i’ll be baking by lunch time lol
thank you Squiggle now I’ve started it, I know I’m on it
Good morning everyone
l’ve just been out to fetch the household and recycling bins in after the weekly collections. It’s really quite cold here this morning. As Sweet says, a little hint of autumn in the air
Washing in. Shopping to do. Then maybe a little gardening if the weather holds
Have a great day Buddies

Two smaller lawns and one quite big one in the rear garden and one smaller one in the front garden
Just having a cuppa after going to the bank then the front lawn will be cut
And there was I thinking you were the mowing the lawns at the Raj Palace at Jaipur Glimpses of them can be seen in this clip:

Don't be put off by the subject, the pictures aren't gruesome and some of them are amazing.
Evening all
Good day with the tiddlers. We made pancakes for breakfast - Summer will approve. We managed to get to one of the big parks for a while but the rain came on. I agree with those who can feel a touch of autumn in the air.
El, I’ll check out the BHF pics
Moonie, well done on getting your lawns cut
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros
Hug for any night owls

Good morning everyone it's a cloudy day more rain expected.
Enjoy your day everyone
Had to switch my energy tariffs today with British Gas as, although the exisiting ones go to the end of the month, the email from them said I had to do it by today. Gas price slightly higher, electricity price massive increase - overall just over 13% price increase in the last 2 years.
Posting this as a warning to anyone on a fixed rate tariff who only use electricity as when you come to renew you could be in for a shock (a 27% increase in my case)
As my smart meters are of the first generation, switching to another supplier is messy and time consuming. Second generation smart meters are supposed to be more able to be switched between energy providers.
Good morning a cloudy but dry start here. I hope you all slept well
Yogi, I highly approve! Any pancake party is a time well invested in, IMO
El, it pays to be savvy, well done on your research and I hope you get the best deals possible. I’m waiting on a generation 2 smart meter, the first wouldn’t fit in my electric box- thankfully! The electric companies are no longer allowed to fit generation 1’s, which is a new law that recently came into effect
Summer, in due course my smart meters will get replaced but that's likely to be 7 years or so before that happens. Just as well for you that a generation 1 meter couldn't be fitted in 
Moonie, the one good thing about the weather is that the test match at Lords due to start today may get so little play possible over the next 5 days so the chances are that England won't lose

Moonie, the weather at Lords is so poor that England have yet to name which 11 of their players will play.
Moeen Ali is taking "a short break" from cricket for playing for Worcestershire who will support him.

The weather is looking good for an England draw El
Moeen hasn’t been up to his usual standards of late so it’s not surprising really.
Human-sized penguin lived in New Zealand around 60 million years ago.

The Canterbury Museum is in Christchurch, New Zealand, not one of the museums in Canterbury in this country.
Link to an article on this on the museum website:
https://www.canterburymuseum.c...ra-north-canterbury/
That article includes a 3 d imaged model of the penguin standing next to a woman. That image can be moved around in all directions and can be zoomed in and out.
@Lori will want to see this.
It's like a dinosaur penguin!
The other fascinating detail I got out of that article was the Antarctica was warm and covered in forest. Wow!
Moonie posted:I want a monster penguin
Right?!
I'd put it with my chickens and ducks.
