Good morning everyone

A sunny day here though a north-easterly breeze.

I've been sending details of the job retention scheme claim link and a new calucator for employers to use to my client who will be making a claim. Scheme now live so the claim site is likely to be swamped today.

Yogi, yes, you are right with your answers to the first two Audrey Hepburn questions.

The third film which you and others couldn't recall the name is "Two for the Road". Avaiable to watch on Youtube and Amazon, and get a blu-ray from Amazon but all at a price.

I hope eveyone has a good day

Was it Two for the Road?  I didn't google.

If not put me on ignore   

You beat me to it    

My timing is rubbish. It was last night too. By the time you type something you're overtaken. And right now it's a 94 Breitling Chronomat. That carries sentiment.

Good morning everyone  

Sunny start but a cold wind blowing 

Not much on today, so far 

Have a great day and stay safe  

Good morning everyone 

Another dry and bright day. Still chilly though.

Yay, I got two correct.  
Well done on getting the third answer, Velvet. I’d never have remembered that one. 
Have a good day and stay safe, everyone 

Can't say that I've particularly enjoyed this year's University Challenge. It's the final tonight. The final is Ian Wang versus Brandon. My estimated IQ of those two is Ian Wang 200, Brandon 250. Brandon is a 17-Petaflop Titan supercomputer in human form. It's been a foregone conclusion throughout the series that the final would be between those two.

My client has been able to make his claim under the job retention scheme and hopes to get the grant in 6 days time

@~Sparkling Summer~ I hope your claim goes through without problems as well

Yeah, as she's a Buddy and a free spirit I want Sweet sorted too asap. And Yogi's son.

I’ve just been to put the refuse bins out ready for collection tomorrow. I put them on the edge of the property so they won’t be anyone’s way 

It’s cold, as I thought it was

That's what I do - half on the grass half on pavement. The inconsiderates just throw them out blocking the walkway. Handles the wrong way round for the bin men. It's the little things you observe Moons. Bin men are not to be taken for granted - especially these days.

It is Velvet and your right, they aren’t to be taken for granted these days

Not what you expect when you hear his name - they are quite attractive and pretty.

Evening all 

Thanks Velvet, son managed to get his application for his employees submitted today

Love the Hirst rainbow, El 

Moonie, we also try to site the dustbin where it doesn’t get in anyone’s way.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros, Moonie and Velvet.

Hug for the night owls

Sweet dreams Yogi and all

Good morning everyone it's looking good for another sunny day, yesterday was gorgeous. 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Another sunny day here.

Don't know what it was but I got woken up at about 3.30 this morning by an abnormal noise. It came from something moving along the bypass. Don't hear anything from there from my bedroom normally. Sounded like a motorbike engine but would have been considerably louder to have been woken up by that.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good  morning everyone   

Its a sunny start to the day but looks cold out there. I will find out soon, for sure 

Squiggle, I hope your day continues to be sunny 

El, when I first read your above post I thought ‘abnormal’ was ‘abdominal’  

Have a great day everyone but stay safe

Not only was it abnormal but also abominable.

I would think so too at that time of the morning 

@~Sparkling Summer~ It's expected that HMRC will use snail mail to inform people that they can make claims for the self-employment income support scheme next month. There's a warning from them about scammers emailing/texting people fraudulentlly asking people for their bank details.

Afternoon all 

Lovely sunny day with light breeze - not as cold as yesterday’s breeze.

Hope you are all enjoying the good weather 

Have a good day and stay safe, everyone 

Yogi, yes, it's noticeably less breezy here today than yesterday. Rather pleasant weather

Just finished a half hour phone chat with a client. She's one of my favourite clients, not that I'm supposed to like one more than another

No reason to think that any of you own Nintendo Switches but if you know anyone who does there's been a wave of fraudulent attacks with a hacker logging into a Nintendo account and using a linked Paypal account to purchase expensive things.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-52369435

I asssume that users may have linked a Paypal account to their Nintendo account to buy games and addons.

El, I don’t even know what a Nintendo Switch is

A series of self-portaits taken by the photographer Julia Keil in recent weeks:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-52353298

Some influenced by paintings, some by films.

Third one says that it was influenced by one of the characters in Pulp Fiction. Not a film I have seen ot am likely to see. The photograph reminds me of Louise Brooks, the actress, whose most famous films were "Pandora's Box" and "Diary of a Lost Girl" both made in 1929 and directed by G W Pabst and regarded internationally as classic artt house films. I checked this out and the Una Therman character in Pulp Fiction was modelled after Louise Brooks. I have seen those two Louise Brooks, they are good but only of interest to fans of serious silent films.
