Goodnight Squiggle.

Signing out too, goodnight everyone.

Leaving hugs for Summer and Ros.

night squiggle - think I have read one of hers - sounds familiar

night yogi

snaffle yogi

sweet dreams all My unusual tea did taste nice, tinned tomatoes reminds me of being a kid

Good morning everyone

 

Summer, you could set up a business selling tins of tomatoes with gherkins unless someone is already doing it

 

Ros, you are the Snaffle Queen.

 

Good morning everyone.

Glad your unusual food combo was tasty, Summer.

Hoping to get my car back from the garage today - apparently it also needed a new oil sump (whatever that is).

El, thanks for the Alastair Sim/George Cole info. I knew that they had made several films together but didn't know any of the background stuff. I love all these snippets of information you find for us.

Yogi, the sump is where the oil collects at the bottom of the car engine and looks a bit like this:

Thanks El.

Apparently mine was corroded.

Good morning everyone, I didn't think I was going to get on this morning, limited or no connectivity but here I am!!!

 

Well having said that I'm off again but speak to you later hopefully

Hi and bye, Squiggle.

See you later.

Good morning and happy valentines day I made mr summer a card last night Squiggle I hope your connection is ok x

Yogi, I'm no car mechanic but a google search suggests that unless the sump is actually leaking, a bit of rust can generally be cleaned off without the need for it to be replaced.

 

Squiggle, I hope your connectivity problems are just a temporary blip

Uggie has won the Golden Collar award for the best dog performance in films - link to the all important video clip

Hi all x
A quick hello, just looking to see whats on at the cinema, going to take granddaughter. See you all  later.

Well done Uggie  

yaaayyyyy for Uggie!!!!! he deserves the award! thanks for the link El, I've been telling my customers about Uggie ever since I saw the movie Skylark I hope you have a great afternoon at the cinema, I'm only 100% envious lol Had a busy morning, but the thought of my day off tomorrow keeps me going.. And I have had the pleasure of reading "here come the girls" during my lunch break Yogi I hope your car's problem is simple and not expensive to fix

Skylark, I'm guessing that you and your granddaughter have decided on watching The Muppets film as that's the obvious choice to go for and seems to be good fun. I hope you like it.

 

I see that The Artist is now at a wider range of cinemas than when it was first released - over 50 during this week. It's on at the main cinema in Gloucester at the end of this week and again at the smaller cinema in Gloucester at the Guildhall at the end of the month. I'm not that surprised as following the success at the BAFTAs it now must be favourite at the Oscars. Someone at church said he was a bit suspect of it because of all the hype it has been receiving. I said to him that I had spotted the film well before the hype started - 5 September last year to be precise.

Car is serviced, had the brakes fixed and the oil sump replaced (it was so corroded, it was leaking oil, El). It cost quite a few pounds but is now running like a dream and ought to pass its MOT, next month, with flying colours.

Summer, I hope you enjoy Here Come The Girls.

I wonder what which film Skylark and her granddaughter have chosen to watch?

Squiggle, I hope you get your internet connection back soon.

Joyron, hope all is well with you.

Ros, I hope you are enjoying a lovely, relaxing half-term.

 

I've just got home again, my internet connection seems fine now, I just unplugged the router this morning and plugged it in again and that seemed to do it.

 

Enjoy your day off tomorrow Summer, I just know you are enjoying the book, I sure did.

I have a Martina Cole book waiting for me, lent to me by son's GF. The lovely girl has good taste in books, as well as men.

Signing out for the night. Hugs for the night owls.

sweet dreams yogi I'm glad your car is fixed up real good now and I hope it breezes thought the MOT! El, I think you will enjoy the artist and I hope that no one puts you off seeing it, I think it should have been nationwide long before now too

Squiggle I'm glad your connection problem was just a blip I'm planning on reading in bed for quite some time tomorrow

Enjoy your lie-in (and your book), I am off to snuggle up and read too, love to all, sleep well

Night night squiggle

I wonder what movie skylark saw..?

Good morning everyone

 

Squiggle, I'm glad the internet problem was just a blip.

 

Summer, I'm guessing that Skylark and granddaughter went to see The Muppets - she'll let us know in due course.

 

Cheltenham lost to Torquay yesterday evening. The position at the top of Division 2 is now extraordinarily close with 6 clubs within 2 points of each other. I hope Cheltenham's morale hasn't been destroyed by their recent results - 2 of their last 3 matches have been against teams in the top 6 and the other match was against Hereford which has been Cheltenham's bogey team not having beaten them in the last 10 years.Their next match on Saturday is away to Dagenham & Redditch which is bottom but one in the division so this should be a win for them.

Good morning everyone.    I am pleased to report that the last of the snow has finally gone!!

 

I hope you are all keeping well.  Enjoy "Here Come the Girls" Sweet.  It was one of the best books I've read in a long while.  Cars can be very expensive to keep on the road Yogi.  My car is due for it's MOT too next month.

 

No.2 son is on his way for a visit so I won't be about much until next week, but will try and pop in to read up on your comments when I get the chance.  Love you all. 

Joyron, I'm glad your snow has gone now. My brother still had snow when I spoke with him on Sunday (NE London) so that's must have gone by now as well.

 

I hope you have a nice time with your son over the next few days

Good morning everyone, sorry about your football team EL (it's Dagenham and Redbridge by the way, I know because I came from Redbridge).  I am glad your snow has gone now Joyron, enjoy your visit with your son.

 

My car is due for its MOT at the end of this month too so I hope that it gets through OK.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Squiggle, thanks for pointing that out - on the BBC football tables Dagenham and Redbridge gets shortened to Dag and Red, hence the error.

 

Looks as if February/March is a bit of an MOT period with you, Yogi and Joyron at the very least having cars done then. My car doesn't have the MOT done until early October.

Good morning all it's windy & cloudy here but dry I'm laying in and have watched 2 movies, I'm now going to read my book It's funny how many MOT's are due in here, how very synchronised! For the record, mine will be in May I hope you're all having a good day so far Joyron I hope you have a lovely time with your son

Good morning everyone.

Not a bad day, weatherwise. It's not too cold and the sun is trying to break through.

Harvey has arrived for a sleepover, and he and Keira are now having a nap. It's a hard life, being a pampered pooch.

Joyron, I'm glad the snow has gone, in time for your son's visit.

Have a lovely day off, Summer.

Hi all x

We did indeed go to see The Muppets! A few were saying it was a lot of tosh, but we enjoyed it!

Weather here, very nice today. 

Love to all x



 

Ah brilliant skylark! The muppets are funny Did the little one enjoy it?!

Glad you both enjoyed it, I think the world would be a little sadder without Muppets.

Yes it would be squiggle ! x

Summer, yes she enjoyed it, she loves the whole experience of the cinema anyway . I just have to distract her away from the pic-n-mix tho! 

Indeed!

I love A Muppet's Christmas Carol, it's brilliant.

 

Glad your granddaughter enjoyed the film, Skylark - and I know what you mean about the pic'n'mix.

She is off to the zoo today to see the pandas. i was invited to go, but too much walking for me. The old knee giving me gyp today. 

Off to get some cleaning done, while i get the chance, unless there is a film on worth watching    
Bye for now x 

I agree, the world would be less happy without the Muppets - this from the original Muppet Show

 

Thank you EL, happy memories, I loved that
