night yogi velvet summer moons

Nighty night, sleep well, sweet dreams one and all  

Good morning everyone it's definitely a lot cooler lately especially at night. Yogi and Ros I hope you both had a great time. 

Enjoy your day everyone

Hope all is well in Devon squiggs    

I have a bank account in Newton Abbot believe it or not.

My accent didn't go down too well in Devon.

Good morning everyone

Sunny here at present though expected to cloud over, a bit like yesterday.

Ros, I'm glad you had a nice time at Beamish and Durham

When I hear the word "beamish" I tend to think of Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" - "come to my arms, my beamish boy"

I hope everyone has a good day

Beamish is always PG Wodehouse for me.

Victor.

Have a good day El      

Thanks Velvet, and the same for you

Surely the best hug of the week

Lovely happy picture, Squiggle

Doing a Google search on that picture - it's a quokka. They are the size of a domestic cat, a marsupial (like kangaroos and wallabies), and found on small islands off Western Australia and other places there.

Weather has been wet and miserable again.

The tiddlers brought some sunshine to my day 

Hope you’ve all had a good day

 how dreadful - yuck

night yogi summer moons - love this thread

Good morning everyone it's a bit of a mixture this morning. It will soon be over Summer, remember to breathe!

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Rained here overnight. Looing overhead I think there could be more to come though the forecast doesn't.

Yogi, I'm glad you had a good time with the tiddlers

Summer, I think they go back to school today so your bedlam could be over

I hope everyone has a good day

I’m green with envy, Ros. I’d love to go to Beamish 

Good morning everyone 

Still raining 

Summer, I hope you can relax now the school rush is over 

El, that snake was lucky it wasn’t injured - must have been a shock for the person who found it

Carniverous plants are being reintroduced in parts of England:

Don't panic, they don't say "Feed me" and their diet is insects

15 year old girl uses ju-jitsu to fend off a knifeman in Otley park:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-49576674
She's been going to the local ju-jitsu club for 10 years to learn self defence.

Honor Blackman published a book on self defence and judo back in 1966 thus popularising this.

I thought you might have

Afternoon troops.

Hope all are Hunky Dory. That's with love. I know you all. Nuff said   

All's well here Velvet

Hunky dory is one of those American expressions which we know what it means but the origins are not known. My copy of Brewers says that "hunky" is derived from a Dutch word "honk" meaning goal, base or home as in a game of tag & other games. The origin of "dory" is not known, it's nothing to do with the fish as that makes no sense.

However, I have found that the Dutch word "dor" can mean dry. So it could be that "hunky dory" derives from "honk" and "dor", ie "home and dry"

It beats a Lad Insane.

And I'm no Bowie fan.

Refused a knighthood. Maybe I am.
