I have read back but I’m not sure what response you are looking for by bringing up stuff from years ago, Velvet.
@velvet donkey posted:Well I'll give you one. She was defending racism after one of Saints wild posts and you defended him. You know that underneath so don't disguise it. Her last post.
And you are obviously looking for a fight but you’ll need to find someone else to accommodate you.
Good morning everyone it's a cold morning and hopefully should be a little brighter this morning. We did get some sunshine yesterday as well as a few showers.
Enjoy your day everyone

Hi Sweet

@Moonie posted:Good morning everyone
Very breezy and quite cold here. The sun is currently out but rain is set to arrive soon
Nothing planned for today as I shopped early evening yesterday. It was cold out then
I hope you have a good day
I hope you have a good day too I did my shopping this morning and it was noticeably colder than it has been.

Thank you, I'm back in the warmth. It's not noticeably windy here.
I hope you spotted a post I made a few days ago of some photographs on the BBC site. You will really like the last one in particular:

Lovely photos El 
Been on the phone to my brother. He mentioned that one afternoon last week his land phone rang a couple of times then stopped and rang again once shorlly afterwards. He saw that the number wasn't known to him so did nothing. Then during the evening he went to make a call and the phone line was dead. Tried with another handset he has and still dead. So it was the line rather than the equipment. Used his mobile to ring his landphone and just got an engaged tone. Used his mobile to ring the friend he had intended to call who said he'd tried ringing my brother 4 times, each time getting an engaged tone,
My brother still has internet connection, used that to contact the phone number, ran automatic test to confirm there was a ptoblem. No service faults reported on the phone site. So he left a message online with them to indicate there was a problem with the line rather than the equipment. Also rang them but automated reply as one would expect, but he was able to confirm that his internet report of a fault has acknowledged,
Tried phone again in the morning but still dead. Went out and tried when he got back in and the line had now been restored 
We think that what happened was that one of those cold calling place (possibly a scam one) had rung him. They ring many numbers at the same time and it's just chance if it's you who answers the phone before anyone else. We think that the cold calling place had failed to be a proper disconnection, hence his line became engaged.

That’s shocking El
I keep getting a landline call from a certain number even though the number is blocked on my landline phone. My phone doesn’t ring. The only time I know I have had a call from a blocked number is when I look at the list of phone calls, which I usually delete everyday.
When someone calls my landline number and I have blocked that number, there is an automatic message saying words to the effect that the number has been block. It still doesn’t stop them trying to calling every few days, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day though.

I know it's shocking. Just as well he has a mobile. If that had happened to an elderly person with just a land phone, that would have been horrific for them
With blocked numbers on my phone, if they ring I get a single ring then it stops.

And it hasn't been raining here at all so far today
Evening everyone
It was dry and chilly today.
Squiggle, have you been venturing out or staying close to home?
El, I love rainbows, even little ones that don’t last for long 
What a palaver for your brother. Thank goodness he had other means of communication.
Moonie, I’m glad you didn’t need to go out in the rain
Summer, happy Saturday to you and Bramble too
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros
Hug for any night owls

Good morning everyone looks like it will be a little rainy at first and then maybe some sunshine later.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Fairly sunny here and may stay dry all day - back to rain tomorrow,
Thanks Yogi re my brother
Expected an annutal tax guide book to arrive today. I've been getting that book every year for a long time as it's the best reference book to look at as first reference. Used to get it from the publishers but stopped that a couple of years ago and get it through Amazon. The reason is that the publishers kept on writing, emailing and ringing me to get more and more tax books from them and I got fed up with that.
Apparently, if it's a cleat night and you are away at 20 minutes after midnight, you'll be able to see Mars at it's biggest and brightest. Can still see it after 9 this evening in the south-east
I hope everyone has a good day
Well done Moonie
So the Met Office are showing <5% chance of rain and generally sunny here at present.
And it's actually cloudy and there's some light rain as I type
BBC changed theirs a few minutes ago to show 78% chance of rain but with a sun symbol with no clouds.
