Good afternoon all it’s been dry & breezy day here, so I’ve had washing out and fresh bedding straight on to the bed from the washing line!

I hope you’re all well and having a good weekend, I’m about to go teach a meditation class which will conclude a 4 week course that I was asked to do. It’s my first one ever and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it I got a create it myself, which just makes it all the more special

I hope you all know how fabulous and dear to me you are

Wow they are amazing!!! The last one is brilliant but the breakwater one by Caroline Walker is amazing!

I agree with you It was those two and the one by Katie Vincent which made me want to post my link.

Good morning everyone it's an overcast morning but hopefully we're in for a dryer week ahead.

Thank you Summer you are so dear to us too. Have you read the latest Milly Johnson yet My One True North it's good.  I'm re-reading The Birds and The Bees and enjoying it just as much as the first time I read it.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Cloudy here and rain for quite a lot of the time is forecast. Some rain forecast for tomorrow but looks settled for the rest of the week.

I hope everyone has a good day

Watched a British 1949 film called "Dear Mr Prohack" last night. Had recorded it some weeks ago on Talking Pictures, It's a comedy about a senior civil servant (played by Cecil Parker). It's not a particularly good film as it's not really a satire, not really a farce, and does't wholly work. The two most familiar faces in the senior roles are Dirk Bogarde and Glynis Johns.
Film is interesting as it features in smaller credited roles people who would become better known - Denholm Elliott, Bryan Forbes (initially an actor before switching to directing) and Jon Pertwee, Also, though uncredited, Ian Carmichael.

Final film directed by Thornton Freeland, not a well known directed, who was American and had made films there, the most famous being Flying Down to Rio, the film which introduced Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers as a duo.

Film does have a scene towards the end which is one of the bizarrest scenes in any film

Re that film I mentioned "Dear Mr Prohack". Whilst I was watching the film a thought crossed my mind. So I did a Google search and found a website which had a review of the film and also a short list of similar films. The first film mentioned was the 1971 film "And Now for Something Completely Different". That of course was the very first Monty Python film and was just sketches from their television series. And it's that which had crossed my mind. The two are very different and "Dear Mr Prohack" has much gentler humour and more cohesive. Whether any of the Monty Python team had ever seen the film at some time is unlikely to be ever known.

That’s not enough in my opinion El

I know but 14 years is the maximum for blackmail in this country. It would have been different if any baby had been harmed but luckily that didn't happen.

Good morning everyone

A bit of blue sky here but a generally cloudy day and not that warm outside. Forecast is to be relatively settled here for the next 7 days.

I hope everyone has a good day

Consultations still going on about the controversial designs for the "missing link" bypass on the A417 at Birdlip, a notorious blackspot for accidents.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-...cestershire-54510282
Shows two designs for footpaths crossing the bypass. The first one for the Gloucestershire Way footpath isn't too bad. The second one for the Cotswold Way footpath looks really out of place if the picture ahown is accurate.
The Gloucestershire Way is nearly 100 miles long, the Cotswold Way just over 100 miles.

A collection of photos by Rory Lewis. Portraits of people taken just at the moment of making a decision. Rather unusual.

The best known people shown are Ant and Dec but very different to a typical photo of them.

Afternoon all.

I won’t be signing in tonight as it’s BO night and I’m not watching it...and I only come on between 8-9pm.

No tiddlers today as it’s school holidays and DiL is off.

Unusual but interesting pics, El.
Hope you’re all having a good day.

Afternoon Yogi

I know you've gone off the cooking competition programmes I watch them to relax in the evenings. Don't join those posting here as my television is downstairs, my computer upstairs, and mobile phone reception is poor in the house. Have one for emergency use only. Can just about get 3G at the front part of the house and nothing where my television is. I think in part it's becuase of the building materials used are blocking reception. As I've mentioned before I have to have the boiler thermostat in the same room as the boiler (which is in what was an airing cupboard) as if I put it elsewhere, the radio signal doesn't get through to the boiler.

I see you got hammered tonight El

A surprise result. Cheltenham would have expected to have beaten Grimsby but lost. Cheltenham had the majority of poseession and the majority of shots on target. They could have been expecting to move up to 2nd place but are instead in 5th place. That was the match which had been postponed due to Grimsby players having to go into self-isolation a few weeks ago.

Let's wait and see. Cheltenham are away to Southend on Saturday, another side very near the bottom as had been Grimsby before yesterday's match

And for you for Monday's match - looks as if that could be one of those matches which your side really needs to win

Currently any match win would be be nice El. Not a good start for us
