Good morning everyone it's a bit cloudy this morning, we had some lovely sunshine yesterday, hope you all did too. There was a picture posted on FB of our local main road to the nearest small town. It looked like a lake, unsurprisingly I haven't been out. I will try and copy it on here if I can.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

After a misty start it's going to be another sunny day here though not particularly warm.

Yogi, I'm glad your arm is no longer aching

Client coming here to drop off their files later this morning, routine & straightforward

Squiggle, I hope the flooding in your area recedes quickly

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone 

A dry and frosty start to the day.

Squiggle, I hope the flooding subsides soon.

El, I hope the client brings all the papers you need 

Have a good day all

Thanks Yogi The client has fairly straightfoward accounts - he'll pass me a memory stick with the spreadsheets he's created and supporting papers. He will probably have looked at his previous year's spreadsheets annd used them as a template for this year. I tend to find little errors on his spreadsheets - clerical rather than deliberate. In terms of clients, I've known him as a client longer than any other. He was one of my first clients, though ceased to be self-employed for many years until he started again and came back to me. He's a lot more organised than he was back then. We sometimes joke about the time when I spent a couple of hours whilst he was searching for documents in the small flat he was living in at the time.

Here is that picture, I hope it's receded a bit by now but I'm not risking it yet.  This is the main road

Squiggle, as you said, it looks like a lake. At least it seems to be relatively dry for a few days so hopefully it will recede quite quickly

I've just seen a new picture of the same place EL, looks like the water has indeed receded but look now! I think I'm not meant to go out.

wouldn't want to be driving at night time and come across that

Morning all    

Hope all are well. Quite bright here and we escaped the weather that Buddies had down South. That looks bad squiggs - hope things get back to normal asap and that you have supplies in. Take no risks till you are fully updated   

All's well here, Velvet

Client's been and gone.

I imagined it would be. And it should be   

You probably haven't heard of Orangey the cat. During the 1950s and 1960s he was in a number of films and television series.

Here are a couple of clips from films his role was of note.

Firstly from the 1957 science-fiction/horror film "The Incredible Shrinking Man" where the man has shrunk to the size where he's living in a doll's house:

Secondly, from Breakfast at Tiffany's (the final scene):

Funny you posted that El. I looked up Sykes last night. Sorry to read he died in June/July       All round dog acting star. Fostered out when he was no use. Thought that was heartless. Some resume and star of Midsomer. Loved him. Advert of the Year

Sykes was with one foster family from when he retired until he died. Neil Dudgeon and Gwilym Lee gave him a retirement dog bed which he slept in at that foster family. He was 13 when he retired. In human terms that would be 91.

Retired is a loose term with me. Any dog lover would have kept him. Totally revealing        £££.

Orson Welles: "The Fountain of Youth" (1958):

He made it for television with the hope that it might lead to a series. That never happened, neither did the "next week's" story he mentions at the end. This is the only TV work of fiction he directed.

Good evening everyone  

Cold but dry all day. Getting cold now too and we are going to get fog tonight 

Have a great evening buddies 

An old British film "The Ghost Camera" (1933):

Very early acting role for the leading lady Ida Lupino who later directed quite a number of films.
The film was edited by David Lean before he became a major film director.
Very early acting role for John Mills who was in quite a number of David Lean's films - this would be the first time.

So for a film you are unlikely to have ever heard of or seen, it's quite a notable film.

Evening Moons    

Hope all is alright    

Never knew Ida Lupino directed El.

Hi Velvet 

I’m okay fankoo. I hope you are too my friend  

Miss the dog Moons. Two years ago round about today.

That's why I like the fact Baz's got a cat.

If it's got four legs I'm in. Now's too tricky though.

Awww, I know how you feel about your dogs Velvet 

I’m pleased she has too 

They say time is a good healer. I’m not sure that is always the case but we live in hope 🙂

Yes we do Moons. And there's always a heart around you. Baz counts.

I bet you’re pleased he is a bit more organised nowadays 

Evening Moonie and Velvet.

You’ll know I’m in agreement with you about our four-legged friends.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, everyone 

Hug for any night owls

These things have real impact. Quite often I'm walking an Irish Setter off the lead countryside..

Take care Yogi and I hope she comes back to you. Whenever it suits her. I like dreaming now and again

Good morning everyone it's fairly cloudy but the forecast is dry for most of the week. Thanks Velvet the grocery delivery is due this morning and I know my grandson will always help with anything I may run short of. 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Cloudy but dry here.

Squiggle, it's good that your grandson is able to help if you were to run short of anything

Velvet, Ida Lupino directed a few American film noir films in the 1950s such as The Hitch-hiker (1953) and The Bigamist (1953). She also directed quite a number of episodes of American TV series.

I hope everyone has a good day
