He's got a bright future     

Hope all are hunky dory   

Hi Velvet 

I hope you and yours are keeping well and staying safe 

Trying Moons. Lockdown's truly over here. People (other households) in and out houses left right and centre      What do they not get about the rules? It's crazy.

Hope all is well down in Brum and you're keeping well too

You just you look after you and yours. You can’t account for stupid people doing stupid things 

We are all well at my abode fankoo 

Velvet, not that it's any consolation but it's little better here with certain of my neighbours. I'm avoiding them all together. With the worst offender, when a postman knocked on my door to ask if I would take in a parcel for them I refused.

And now for some highbrow culture. Beethoven's choral piece for 3 voices "Lob auf den Dicken":

He wrote it as a tribute to his friend Ignaz Schuppanzigh.

It's in German so here's it is in English,

The title is "Praise the Fat One"
The lyrics are:
"Schuppanzigh is a scoundrel
Who does not know it?
The obese pig belly
The Presumptuous Ass Head
Oh, scoundrel Schuppanzigh!
Oh, ass Schuppanzigh!
We all agree
what are you the big ass!
Oh scoundrel!
Oh ass! Oh ass!
Hi, hi, ha."

Beethoven wrote it as a joke for his friend

Good morning everyone  

Dull and overcast cast here. No rain forecast until 6pm. Very precise that 

Definitely nothing doing today 

Have a great day everyone, stay safe  

Moonie, the weather forecast for my area over the next 3 days is very unsettled with thundery showers or just showers much of the time. Needless to say there are now weather warnings in place.

Unmistakeable sounds of thunder in the distance and it's starting to rain here.

It looks like we have bees in one of our trees at the bottom of the garden 

No thunderstorm here as yet El

If there are bees actually in one of your trees it sounds as if there's a cavity in that tree.

Thunderstorm here has moved on though likely to be more over the next couple of days. Don't think it went directly over here as I didn't see any flashes though 9 mm of rain in an hour is quite wet.

They’re pine trees El so there are a lot of branches and I wasn’t going to close for a better look 

Yogi, I hope you’re okay as I haven’t seen you around for a few days

Good morning everyone, we didn't get any thunderstorms here and only a little drizzle of rain. There's a downpour predicted for tomorrow though. 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Cloudy here. Dry at present, more thundery showers forecast for later. Rain for much of the time forecast for tomorrow. Hopefully, weather becomes less unsettled after then.

i hope everyone has a good day

There's been a software update on the forum since yesterday though hardly any noticeable change. There is a word change though - see if you can spot it

The charity picture book series "Remembering Wildlife" has announced the winners of its cheetah photography competiton. You can see the winning photos on this BBC article:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-52934803
The first photo is the overall winner, not surprisingly.

I have never noticed “views” at the bottom before El

You are right in that "Views" is new but that was brought in as part of the major change rather than the word change I was thinking of

The Views number doesn't mean much as that's the number of times anyone/anything has viewed a page on a topic and everytime they've done so, so includes non-members and mulltiple viewing by people.

Just goes to show how observant I am then El
