Good morning everyone it's below freezing at the moment but temperatures are expected to rise throughout the day and it should be a little more pleasant from now on.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Same weather as Squiggle's, just below freezing, temperature forecast to get warmer than recently.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone

We had a sharp frost overnight with a low of -4

The weather forecast is for a high of 5°

Plenty of football on today so that’s me sorted

El, I hope your team does better than mine did yesterday. Predictable, in our case

Have a nice day. Stay safe and warm everyone

Good morning a milder day here with the snow beginning to melt. I hope you all had a restful night

Moonie, everything went smoothly with my mums appointment thank you, and I have pics of my unicorn. I’ll see if I can upload one to here 🤔

El, I’ve set up Double Indemnity to record on Thursday

Yesterday I walked 11 miles and I’m heading back out today to clock a few more. I’m aiming to get my lost distance stamina back up to where it used to be, just in case we can go ahead and walk the West Highland Way this summer. I’m very much out of practise! I’m leaving Bramble with my mum today though, she did great yesterday but she’s approaching her 9th birthday next month, so I think it’s time to let her take things easier

I hope you all have a lovely day

hopefully this will work x

Good morning Sweet

I’m glad your mums appointment went well

I shall look forward to seeing those unicorn piccies

It’s a good idea to leave Miss Bramble with your mum. You don’t want her overdoing things at her age

You have a lovely day out but stay safe

Nope, it didn’t Sweet

Thanks Moonie re the Cheltenham match It's not going to be an easy match for them. A pity about your side yesterday

@~Sparkling Summer~ no, your video hasn't worked. I don't know if the format of Instagram videos can be embedded here.

As Moonie says it's a good idea to leave Bramble with your mum.

Thanks El, we can concentrate on staying up now

If Sweet has an new has a iPhone like I do then the video formats are HD 30, HD 60 or 4K 60 which doesn’t seem to work in here

The video formats which can be attached here are:
.mov, .avi, .3gp, .wmv, .divx, .flv, .mpg, .m4v, .mp4
I assume that it is the same formats which can be embedded via "Inserted media"

attached as in "Add Attachments" to replies for those with VIPs,
"Inserted media" from the menu in the "Add Reply" box which doesn't require one to have VIP.
I'm using desktop so it may be different for iphone etc users.

As I am a VIP, I have tried both methods on my laptop and neither work. So it must be an iPhone thing. I didn’t however have a problem with my previous iPhone X just this one.

To us “Inserted media” you need a “source” which is okay it you are trying to post a video off the web but no so easy when you are trying to post one of your own.

Thanks for trying anyway El

Moonie, I could see that Summer was trying to post a video from an Instagram account. So it may be that she was trying to post a video she had found there or a video she had uploaded on to Instragram and then from there to here.

Cheltenham through to the next round for the first time in 15 years Mansfield had gone ahead after 3 minutes and Cheltenham didn't equalise until 73 minutes. Match went into extra time and eventually Cheltenham scored again in the 110th minute.

Well done to Cheltenham

The last time looked was the 113th minute when you was ahead

Evening all

It has rained which has washed away the snow.

I made roast beef and yorkies today. We don’t often have a roast dinner when it’s just the two of us so it was a nice treat.

I also made more Mary Berry Chocolate Brownies which turned out well.

Hope you’ve all had a good day and Summer doesn’t ache too much after her walk

Hi Yogi

That sounds like a nice cosy dinner for two 😁

Do you make your own yorkies?

The brownies sound rather delish too

My day has been good fankoo

Hi Moonie

Yes, I nearly always make my own yorkies.
I’m glad you’ve had a good day.

Good morning everyone it's not quite as cold but it's going to be windy and overcast today.

I hope you enjoyed your walk Summer I'm in shock because to me Bramble is little more than a pup I can't believe she's 9 years old!

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Less cold here, cloudy though bits of brightness at present.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone

It’s cold but dry right now

Nothing planned, however I do have a lot of recorded footie games to watch

Have a good day everyone

I'll be following the FA Cup draw this evening to see which team Cheltenham are drawn against. For some reason the draw is for both the next round and the following round.

Yes, I spotted that too El but have no idea why either  

I am interested to see who Cheltenham and my mates Blades draw too

A possible draw for the 5th round would be:
Southampton or Shrewsbury Town or Stockport County or West Ham United against Wolverhampton Wanderers or Brighton & Hove Albion - a contender for the longest title for a fixture ever

This was taken recently at Lake Davos in Switzerland. The sound is caused by the ice cracking as it reacts to temperature changes.

El, you drew Manchester City at home in the cup
