Evening all. Mr Y and I spent the morning in the garden, mowing and strimming  the lawns, watering plants and generally tidying up. Too hot in the afternoon to stay in the garden.

Moonie, I’m so glad you are feeling better 

El, that pilot is an idiot!

Good morning everyone it's bright and clear this morning so another hot day ahead. A very warm night last night, a little difficult to sleep. 

Moonie I'm glad you're feeling better. The birds must feel very safe in your garden. 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone 

Another sunny morning. Temperatures of 23 degrees expected.
I woke early and got up thinking it was 5.30am, only to find out when I went downstairs that it was only 4.30am. I lay on the sofa, watching an episode of Death In Paradise and, promptly fell asleep until 7am.

I’m about to do some ironing before things really start to heat up.

Have a good day and stay safe, Buddies 

Good morning everyone

Another warm and sunny day here.

Yogi, some years ago my brother and a friend went to see one of the Pirates of the Caribbean films at the cinema  - my brother fell asleep during the film

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone  

Its a very sunny start to the day here. Set to reach 23° today 

Hi squiggle 

Fankoo, I think the birds just see me as another object to fly around now 

Yogi, that has happened to me too 

 at El’s brother 

Have a great day everyone but as always, stay safe 

Moonie, it was surpising that my brother could drift off to sleep as those films are rather noisy

Talking with my brother on the phone and he mentioned to me someone he used to work with until they were both made retired/redundant from their libraries. She is now working as personal secretary for the writer Ben Aaronovich. Apparently he writes fantasy novels set in London not that I've come across them. In the past he did various audio adventures relating to Blakes 7 and Doctor Who. He also wrote two of the Sylvester McCoy Doctor Who stories including Remembrance of the Daleks.

Evening gents 

It has been a lovely day so after I did housework and ironing, I sat outside on the bench, which is in the shade
lol El, your brother must be a deep sleeper to stay asleep during Pirates of the Caribbean 

Moonie, the birds obviously trust you 

Hi Yogi 

I’ve gardened quite a bit, washed a few things which dried by mid morning, thanks to the lovely weather 

Yep, bird whisperer now too

Are you finding things to watch on tv, to replace all the missing sport?

All sorts of stuff Yogi 

German football is back live albeit in closed stadiums. They are usually played over three or four days. So that helps  

Night night, sleep well, sweet dreams Yogi, Rosss and visitors

Good morning everyone it's another lovely bright morning, more sunshine ahead! A little cooler last night so easier to sleep. 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Another warm sunny day here.

Yogi, I think my brother is a deep sleeper

Moonie, there's a snooker tournament starting tomorrow in this country behind closed doors. It's being held at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes which has accomodation facilities there so everyone stays there throughout the tournament.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone   
A sunny start to the day here. Not intending to do much today. A quick trip down to the shop for some essentials, a little washing and a little bit of Bundesliga footie 

Thanks for the info El 

Its on ITV4 

Have a great day and stay safe  

Moonie, I thought the snooker would probably be shown on television

I hope you enjoy the football

I note that an antique British film "The Ghost Camera" (1933) is scheduled to be shown on Talking Pictures on Saturday at 6.40 in the morning.

IMDB trivia page says that this was Ida Lupino's film debut.

It was also a very early film of John Mills. Also of Felix Aylmer.

 

I recorded "The Ghost Camera" yesterday and watched it just to see what it was like. Allowing for its age, it was surprisingly watchable and had touches of humour. Some of the camerawork was unusual for its time. For instance there's a scene where Ida Lupino is talking with her brother John Mills) but the camera view is seen through her eyes rather than the two of them seen together. Opening credits are shown over a moving landscape rather than the normal static credits.

I didn't mention that the film was edited (one of his first films he had any involvement with) by none other than David Lean.

So worth watching if it gets shown again. Some of the acting by the lesser characters is laughably bad though.

Good evening another summery day here, it’s nice to wear some summer clothes  

Moonie I hope your migraine & post migraine fog have cleared and you’re on the up again rotten darn things, you have my sympathy 

aaaw yogi! I’m so glad a new blackbird couple have moved in, this is exciting. Your old friend must have told them about you  

el, thank you for the self employed update, that’s great. Here’s hoping we won’t need an extension, but I’m grateful for all the help we’ve all been given. This is so reassuring, who knows when we can actually go back. All we can do is get ready  

squiggle, how are you doing? And your family? Xx 

Hi Sweet  

I hope you and Miss Bramble are well and staying safe  🐾🐾

Fankoo, I am back to what passes for normal now  

Night night, sleep well, sweet dreams, Yogi, Rosss, Sweet and visitors

Good morning everyone it's sunny already this morning. There's a blackbird singing right outside the window, beautiful!

Enjoy your day everyone
