Good morning everyone.    Lovely sunny day here today.  Not sure how much longer this good weather can last though.

 

What a difference a day makes.  No.1 son was rather ill overnight and decided he would be better off back in his own home, so off they all went a little while ago.  We decided to abandon plans to close up the holiday home this weekend (we've got until the last day of the month to do it) and hubby has gone off on his boat.  So I'm having a lovely quiet day on my own now.  What bliss.

 

I look forward to hearing how the se4rmon went El Loro.  Hope it was good.  Have a great day all my lovely buddies.  Hope to be back later. 

Good afternoon everyone

 

Roy Screech didn't live up to his name and came across well and was friendly.

 

I've deleted the rest of this post as I think I have put the rest of you off - sorry about that

Hi everyone x

Hope your son is feeling better Joyron x
My daughter and granddaughter off home and my son has gone out, so some time to myself, at last !
I saw your post El, infact my daughter and i were discussing it, at some length. She has gone back to the Church, well some time ago, and she wasnt fully aware of this parable. I know my New Testament quite well , so we have had a good discussion! I wish i had said now we were discussing it, and you wouldnt have felt you had to delete it 

Flying visit, off to the X Factor thread. I'll be back later.

Hi Yogi, enjoy the XFactor x 
I have some things to do for the morning, and then settling down to watch Downton. 
Goodnight everyone  

Night night everyone, happy Downton watching to those who are watching and ditto for those watching BB, catch up tomorrow.

Goodnight Squiggle and Skylark.

I'm off to bed too.

Ros, Summer and Velvet, if you are still around.

Goodnight, again, had to pop in again for you know what !

Good morning everyone, hope everyone is ticketyboo this morning Hope your son is feeling better this morning Joyron.

Good morning everyone

 

Skylark, thank you for your comment . I decided to delete most of my post as there had been no posts on this thread at all for some 4 hours and I realised that it could be a bit of a threadkiller.

Morning El x  Not a lot of folk were on yesterday, the forum was very slow. Nothing to do with your post El  

Morning it's cooooold!!!!!! And raining on/off El, I'm not sure what you posted and deleted because I was out walking most of the afternoon you're def not a thread killer though, we like anything you post

It was about the sermon at church yesterday.

Good morning everyone, on this very dark and wet day.

El, I think you should repost whatever it was you deleted - I'm intrigued now.

I thought I was going to have a lazy day yesterday but ended up getting visits from my middle son and his fiancee and then my eldest son and DiL, that's why I didn't post until evening.

I have a few errands to run but will return in an hour or so and hope to hear all about the Reverend Screech's visit.

Agreed

Good morning everyone.    It's cold here this morning, but very sunny too which is great.

 

No.1 son is feeling a lot better today.  Sometimes he can eat something and it's fine another time the same thing will upset him badly.  That's just something he has to live with I'm afraid.

 

I too would love to know what you posted yesterday El Loro.  We always enjoy reading what you have to say. 

I think it's unanimous El, please repost about the sermon

I'm back.

Joyron, sorry to hear your son was unwell, I hope he's feeling better today.

Squiggle, I started A Summer Fling yesterday - I think I will enjoy Milly Johnson's books.

Once again, I will try to ration myself to a couple of chapters each day (we know how well that went, last time).

I am saying nothing Yogi

Hi x 
Been out and got soaked, weather here is awful.
Glad your son is feeling better today Joyron  x
Enjoy your reading ladies  

When it comes to reading, my self-discipline goes out the window.

 

Weather is the same over here, Skylark.

It's getting very dark & cloudy here too, I think I may need my umbrella this lunch time Joyron I hope your son is on the men's now I think I need a good romance novel next, the wilbur smith adventure books are very good but bad things happen a lot..

I love my crime thrillers but they can be a bit dark, if you read them constantly. So like you, I enjoy something a bit lighter or romantic, from time to time.

 

I feel the same as you both.  That's why I hate it when I finish a book, it is vital that my book matches my mood, if I am struggling a little with life I need a light-hearted book, it is only when I am coping really well that I can take on a bit of a thriller.  And I really can't do anything really dark at all.

I am like that too squiggle, although i havent been doing much reading lately  I feel the same with some TV programmes, i cant watch anything dark or depressing unless i feel up to it. I can switch off ,watching Gold , and some light hearted humour ie Dinnerladies, Porridge etc. I have watched some things on TV and tossed and turned all night, thinking ...oh i wish i hadnt watched that !

I agree with you both about matching books and programmes to your mood.

There is nothing worse than trying to enjoy something, when you're head isn't in the right place.

Son sent me a text. He was off having his lunch and came back to find someone has nicked his hardhat. He was more annoyed that the bag he left it in had his kitkat too that he was keeping for his afternoon break!  
Honestly, some people would nick anything!  He is now wearing a white hat, temporarily, which is the gaffers, and he thinks he is the bees knees ! I dread to think what will happen if anyone is seen eating a kitkat .......... 

I have created a PM for all the regulars here where you can read more about yesterday's sermon.

Skylark, that did make me lol.

Mr Yogi would be exactly the same, if someone stole his food.

Thank you, El. Off for a read.

Torrential rain here and wind 
Off to get a hot meal ready for the worker coming home.
Bye for now  

I hope you have a spare KitKat for him.

Catch you later.

Skylark, I do have a small supply of dark chocolate Kit Kats here (I really do ) so here's a couple for you and your son:

 

oh noooooo I'd be gutted too if someone stole my Kitkat!!!!! People really do take anything these days, we don't display hair products now for that reason, we keep them in the staff room and just go get one if someone wants to buy something Yes I think 5 adventure books on the trot has left me calling for a romance break i've just got to finish this one first. Trouble is, the current character we're following is a diamond thief, he's lost his loot, been badly beaten, killed a man and is now associating with communists.. I'm sure it's relevant to the politics in the book but i'm not enjoying it at the moment. I hope it returns to focus on the main characters that I like.. El I'll go read your PM..

Good afternoon everyone.    It's turned cloudy here this afternoon and a lot colder!!

 

The new Sky+ HD box has arrived and No.1 son is calling round to fit it this evening.  I've read through the new PM El Loro and found it very interesting. 

Happy HD day joyron I hope you enjoy it hugely!

Aww thank you, will have one tonight with my cuppa watching the soaps, i may or not give my son one
