I'm eating Jelly Babies, anybody want some?

Me please, i love jelly babies 

I put them in a box for you.

There are lots of green ones left.

Oh just heard on ITV3 The Bridges of Madison County is on tomorrow night at 9pm. Thats me sorted then, i love that film 

 yes please yogi although I must go on a diet before work my clothes feel  a bit tight and i have got too used to wearing leggings and jeggings

what's it about skylark???

That will do me, we are a Hibees family here  Thank you x

I desperately need to go on a diet.

I'm baking chocolate brownies tomorrow, so it looks like the diet will need to wait until Monday.

 

Oops, forgot your Jelly Babies.

A love affair lasting 4 days, Meryl Streep  and Clint Eastwood . 

yes yogi - that is what i keep saying

oooooo i like clint Eastwood - not really a film buff but it does sound good thanks skylark

Why do diets always have to start on Mondays?

And end on Tuesdays.

I know its a silly question but does birdsong diminish into summer - had a very noisy but nice blackbird which seems to have disappeared

yes - I used to be so good but hope less these days

Me too.

ATM, I feel like a Weeble.

Not sure, Ros. I believe there are certain times of year when they are more vocal.

Apparently singing is associated with courtship and mating, so now that the breeding season is coming to an end, maybe your blackbird doesn't need to sing so much.

Sorry didnt explain that well, comp on a go slow again. If you are a romantic you will enjoy it, a woman embarks on an affair with a man passing thru to take photos of a bridge. Its very intense, you may need some tissues !  x

Going to get off, got those twirling cogs and no patience ! 
Goodnight, sweet dreams  

thanks yogi - i sort of miss it - I only notice it in the holidays TBH - I got quite fond of it but got a couple of robins - we have a hedge which goes around the house - so tend to get nesting birds

night skylark I've been having probs

Goodnight Skylark.

The blackbird's song is a nice one.

I love my garden birds and I'm forever buying seed and nuts for them.

Mr Yogi says they are the best fed birds in Scotland - he exaggerates.

we are exactly the same - we buy those big balls - the birds lubbs them

Nearly time for Waking The Dead on Alibi, so I'm going to sign out now.

I have to make do with repeats since the BBC cancelled the series.

Goodnight Ros,

Leaving a hug for Summer in case she pops back in.

night yogi

*collects from yogi* thank you Sorry I missed you, I had a really lovely bath, very relaxed now Squiggle I do sympathise, in the past I've suffered terrible hayfever etc but I hear sinus troubles are more painful is there a more natural remedy you could use to ease your symptoms? An aromatherapy bath maybe? El, loved those olds pics- I wondered where the name Quaggle originated from? Skylark, I'm really glad you enjoyed your show, shows are one of my favourite nights out! Did you ever see the film the wedding singer? There's a stage show version, mr summer took me a few years ago and it was unbelievable! One of my top 3 shows ever Yogi, Stream's behaviour has changed; she refuses to walk with my SIL and is sticking like glue to my BIL- her original owner since puppyhood. Also she won't play with the kennel dogs like usual, it seems like too much bother for her. Those are classic signs of early pregnancy, but there's no way of actually finding out at this point. It may be phantom too. I'm hopeful, but have to remain patient, i would expect to find out if she was pregnant in about 4-5 weeks from now Ros, I'll see you in the penthouse then, looks like we're the last ones up as usual Sweet dreams buddies

night summer was just going to post yogi had left you a hug

Good morning everyone

 

Summer, quagga was the Khoikhoi word for zebra. The Khoikhoi (which means peoplepeople) are the native people of South Western Africa going back to at least the 5th century.

 

Squiggle, sometimes I find that Boots blackcurrant pastilles help to reduce coughing. I hope your sinus problems have lessened

Good morning everyone, thank you all for your kind wishes and remedies.  I have my silk scarf on this morning, don't laugh but its what my mum used to swear by.  I find when I have any sort of sore throat or sinus thing a silk scarf around the neck seems to warm up the whole area and get it all moving if you get my drift.

 

It was lovely reading back all the blackbird singing, jelly baby sharing posts.  The Bridges of Madison County I loved loved loved the book but unfortunately hated the film because I had a clear picture in my mind of the characters and Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep were definitely not them.  It is such an intensely romantic story, in a way it reminds me of the film I watched yesterday,how true love can be timeless and eternal.

 

 

 

         

good morning. I believe I can see a bit of blue sky among the clouds, and.. Could it be..? Sunshine?!! if only for an hour I will enjoy every single moment of it Thank you El, Khoikhoi, very interesting much more so than a zorse! Squiggle, keep that silk scarf round you all day if you can, I've not heard of that before but I shall certainly try it at some point. I hope you feel a little better today

Your pic has just appeared on my app squiggle, that's a beautiful flower

I'm glad you like it Summer, its just a small way of saying thank you to the wonderful group of people who gather in this thread.  I could say the nicest people on this forum but then I AM biased

I missed the bus Dame snipered it squiggle I couldn't agree more, I really look forward to loading this thread each morning

Good morning everyone.    It's a lovely sunny, warm day here today.  Just popped in to say a quick hello to all my wonderful buddies.  It is a pleasure to be apart of this thread and I miss you all when I am unable to be here. 

 

Squiggle, I really hope that you feel better soon.  Never heard the silk scarf remedy but I will certainly try it when the need arises.  Hope these  and  help you get well soon.

 

Hope you all enjoy your day whatever you are up to. 

Afternoon everyone. Sunshine and showers up here. It's better than the pouring rain we've had recently.

I still haven't received the new charger for my laptop (delivery was estimated between 12-16th) and the old one is really playing up. If I disappear for a few days, you'll understand why.

Love the pic, Squiggle - and feeling the love, which is always a good thing.

Hope to return later, charger permitting.

Hi everybody - squiggle - what a gorgeous flower and what a lovely thing to say yogi - hope your lappy survives and charger arrives soon - hi joyron summer EL

 

Evening all. Charger is hanging on by a thread.

You have no idea the wiggling I have to do to get here.

I'm trying to save some charge so I can pop in tomorrow, so I will sign out now.

Leaving hugs for the night owls.
