Very quiet in here today, hope you are all enjoying the long weekend, the sun shone this afternoon, hope it did where you all are as well

 

Going up to start my new book now, speak to you tomorrow, leaving a big hug for any night owls

night yogi skylark and squiggle

Good morning everyone

 

It looks as if for many of us the weather looks good for a bank holiday, though not so good for the far north.

 

I did see Page Eight last night, and I don't think it was as good as I had anticipated. There was also too much bad language for my liking. I was a bit surprised as in the States this was distributed by the Public Broadcasting Service which is the main distributer for the public service broadcasters there. I don't know that much about public service broadcasting in the States but I assume that it is more likely to be free to air rather than cable and therefore subject to considerably stricter censorship rules than in the UK.

 

Good morning EL and everyone yes I am afraid EL that bad language is the norm nowadays and rather difficult to avoid.  Did you stay with The Hour until the end?  I did and it was OK but not great, I found it interesting though in what it insinuated about the BBC.

 

Quite a nice morning here, interesting cloud pattern, in between the cumulus clouds there is a strange stripy pattern not quite cirrus but on those lines.  Anyway enough of me waffling on about clouds, have a good day everyone.

I did watch The Hour until the end. I found it strangely compulsive watching but it wasn't as aoutstanding as it could have been. Although the writer of the series does have ideas for a second series, it is not yet known whether the BBC will recommission it. Apparently it depends as to how it will be received in the States. I was looking on the IMDB site about this and I saw that one poster has made the comment that BBC programmes tend to be shown in cut versions in the States unless shown on Public Broadcasting Service. That must make it difficult to American viewers to be able to form similar opinions to British viewers.

 

Here there are cumulus clouds.

Morning everyone 
A bit chilly here.
Son arrived home 3am safe and sound, they had a great time , he is tucked up in bed and no doubt be there till his tummy wakes him for food! I dont mind he works hard all week so deserves a long lie.
Going to give my bedroom a bit of a clear out today. See you all later , hopefully  

Skylark its good to get your bedroom cleared out but please make sure you make time for YOU as well, it is a Bank Holiday and you need to take time out too

Hi everyone, a bit of a quick visit today.

It's our wedding anniversary and we are having visitors this afternoon, so I'll pop back when I can. Hope you are all well.

Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs Yogi xxxxxx

Thank you Skylark, those flowers are beautiful and will go perfectly with my decor.

 

Hope today is everything you wish for Yogi (and Mr Yogi)

Thank you Squiggle, beautiful flowers and lovely sentiment, too.

Mr Yogi also said to thank you and Skylark.

Yogi and Mr Yogi, I too wish you continued happiness

We both thank you, El. (the kiss is from me)

evening Happy anniversary mr & mrs yogi how many years? I'm back home our b&b last night was wonderful, but lacked Internet and 3G coverage, which is why I didn't pop in. It's been a hectic but lovely weekend, I've enjoyed catching up with my mum & closest friends. Hope you've all had a lovely weekend

Hi Summer, glad you had a great time

Hi skylark How was your weekend?

Ok thanks Summer, havent done much, to be honest

Going off to let my son see pics of Tiesto, he was at his gig yesterday x
Take care all, and bye for now

Evening all.

Summer, glad you have a lovely weekend with your friends and your mum.

Mr Yogi and I are celebrating 30 years of wedded bliss - I think I deserve a long service medal.

El, I'm on FF but I'll check out your thread anyway, because I'm nosey.

Skylark, I told middle son that your son had gone to the Tiesto gig - he says he's jealous. He saw him a couple of years ago, and said it was a brilliant gig.

Squiggle, I agree with you, Midsomer Murders over housework anyday. Good choice, Skylark.

I'm afraid I'm about to drop off, so sweet dreams all, skylark sorry to take off suddenly Leaves for any night owls

Oh yogi, 30 years is wonderful congratulations

Goodnight Skylark and Summer, sweet dreams.

Aww, thanks Summer.

Congratulations Yogi, 30 years is that your Pearl or Crystal?  Sleep well Summer and Skylark and Yogi, I'm off too, up early to take my grandson in to Outpatients, so see you all tomorrow, might be early depends on whether I have time to pop in before I pop out if you get my drift

Good morning everyone. Weather is dry with grey sky this morning.

You have had an early start. Squiggle. Hope all goes well for your grandson at the hospital this morning.

Summer, thank you for the lovely pancakes. My personal favourite topping is maple syrup - delicious! I hope the back-to-school children behave themselves for you.

Good morning everyone

 

Squiggle, I hope all goes well for your grandson today

 

Skylark, I'm glad that your IE seems to be sorted out now

You can tell your son Tiesto was brilliant, my sons friends have put some stuff on youtube if he wants a look x
Yes El, IE is working well now on this site
Hi Joyron if you are looking in x

So far the kids have been good, phew! No we've been rained off so to speak, this area goes quiet when it rains! I've had my head in my book for the last hour

I see that a special 50th anniversary edition of Breakfast at Tiffanys will be released towards the end of September. It's been restored and remastered with over 90 minutes of extras. Unfortunately it will be in Blu-Ray only because it will be in high definition.

Breaking news from the Met Office on the radio:

 

This summer has been unsettled.

 

Although parts of the Midlands have been drier than normal, Scotland has had twice the average.

 

It's also been the coolest summer since 1993.

 

We've only had 76% of the average sunshine.

 

I'm sure this breaking news will come as surprising to you

So that's why we are all getting webbed feet up here.

 

Breakfast At Tiffany's with the lovely Audrey Hepburn.

 

To those who were asking, the 30th wedding anniversary is the Pearl one.

 

Summer, glad you haven't been rushed off your feet today, which book are you reading?

 

No word on Squiggle's grandson yet?
