El, if I ever go on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, I'd like you as my Phone A Friend.

 

Skylark, I hope you manage to get your keyboard cleaned - Lucozade is so sticky.

 

Off to get my hair cut, be back later.

afternoon all Another busy one, and my reliably unreliable colleague has called in sick as predicted I could have easily spent my lunch hiding out the back in tears, but I made myself come out for some air & some food. I do feel better for it already Ha I had no idea that 1 kermit Roosevelt existed, let alone 3! It is an unusual name isn't it. Squiggle, I too love the funny little things we learn in here and El is indeed right when he thinks I learn a lot of random information from working with the public The recommendations for good restaurants are particularly useful I hope you're all having a lovely afternoon, it's very mild here and very welcome

Ooh before I get distracted- skylark I hope that keyboard dries out leaving you with no problems posting

Skylark, if you are able to, use isopropyl rubbing alcohol on the keyboard to get the stickiness out and leave the keyboard to dry out for a couple of days - that's what a google search seems to suggest.

 

Summer, I've just returned from getting my hair cut. I timed it perfectly to get there a few minutes before it opened after lunch with the result that I was first in, first out. By the time I left, the place was packed with boys wanting to get their hair cut at the end of the half term holiday.

 

And more on the name Kermit. It's an Irish name meaning free man and is a variant of Dermot. (the wonders of Google )

When I went out to get my hair cut I saw a woman coming out of a house with an exercise bike and then walk down the round pushing it along. She was walking in the direction of the local playing fields. I suppose that's one way to get some exercise

^ lol well if that's the new craze that leads to the extinction of Zumba.. I'm all for it lol What a funny sight it must have been! El, you absolutely did the right thing with timing your haircut, like myself, that lass would have been busy all afternoon with kids & families too so the only way to avoid a queue is to be the first one in I'm actually very cheerful tonight, I was expecting to be moody and tired, but I guess I'm over it coming home to the lovely mr summer sure does help though- he's fed the rabbits, cooked me a nice tea and offered to run me a bath every night this week, and he's had a busy week himself at work too

That's a novel way to exercise, El. I wonder if it will catch on?

 

Summer, Mr Summer sounds like a real gem, you are very well suited.

I found this clip on Youtube - but before you play it, turn your sound right down as the sound on the clip is very distorted and painful,

 

Mr Summer sounds a real love Summer I'm glad you are feeling better than you expected.

 

Oh what a funny sight to see EL how daft was that.

 

So go on Yogi and EL give us a twirl to show off your haircuts.

That guy is a bit of a nutter - some of that looked painful.

And what was that big creepy-crawlie that went up the wall?

* twirls for Squiggle * 

Don't look too closely, I still need to colour it.

^very nice yogi, looking fab dahling!

Thanks Summer.

Very nice Yogi.  I'm having mine cut tomorrow and then the plan is to colour it next week.

 

Signing out now, off to read soon, sleep well everyone.

I love how we are now synchronising our haircuts as well as our MOTs.

Enjoy your book and sleep well, Squiggle.

 

Can we try synchro swimming too? I've always fancied having a try lol I'm off to dream-ville, sweet dreams all, and happy weekend

Synchro-swimming - do we need to put those daft pegs on our noses?

Goodnight Summer, sweet dreams.

Off to read for a while, goodnight all.

Hug for Ros.

Hi, missed you all.thanks for advice El x
Son borrowed keyboard from a friend until the other dries out or we need to get a new one. 

He was on Facebook chatting to his friends about the Man U footie match and of course he was getting excited at the game, arms flying everywhere, and the can went all over the place!

See you all tomorrow, goodnight  xx

^ lol I bet that was a picture I'm glad you've got a temporary keyboard, it's awful being without good morning, it's very windy here today I hate to think what mess the garden will be in when I go out there! Off to get ready for work, have a lovely morning

Good morning everyone

 

Does quick twirl for squiggle and sends mug of coffee over the keyboard (only joking )

 

Skylark, I'm glad you have the use of a keyboard - I think you may find that the keys remain sticky even after the keyboard has dried off as lucozade is notorious for leaving keyboards sticky.

 

Summer, I think it's windy everywhere this coming week with gusts at times in Scotland up to 50 mph.

Good morning everyone, very windy here this morning.  Off to get my hair cut soon - yours looks great EL, is that a new style?

 

 

         

 

 

 

 

Good suggestion Summer, I'm the short one

Good morning everyone.

Weather was cold but bright when I woke, but the sky is becoming grey and cloudy now.

Summer, I hope you aren't as busy today, as you were yesterday.

Squiggle, that pic made me LOL.

Squiggle, it's the same style as I've had for years. As my hair is very fine, straight, and I have a double crown (most people have one) my choices are very limited.

 

Like your picture

 

It reminded me of the last item in yesterday's The One Show. Here's a link to it on iPlayer. The item starts at 53 minutes plus a few seconds - it's worth watching if you missed it

 

Link

Glad you were only joking about spilling the coffee ! Strange how what looks like a little liquid can go so far ! 

Very cold here today. Dog has the right idea, she is snuggled up in her bed !   

 to all  

Skylark, I think your dog has the right idea. It'a already colder here in Gloucester than it was first thing this morning and will be a cold night though nowhere near as cold as it was.

 

Normal service has been resumed as far as Cheltenham is concerned. They beat Dagenham and Redbridge which given their respective positions in the table they should have But given the recent results there must have been a bit of concern but in the event it was a one sided match with Cheltenham winning 5-0.

 

5-0 for Cheltenham, well done 

We've had a few flurries of snow up here, it feels very cold - your dog has the right idea, Skylark.

Well done to Cheltenham, that's a very good score, El.

I'm glad your team had a good result EL, I'm signing out early as there's not a lot on the box so I will go and read, speak to you all tomorrow, sleep well everyone.

You're right, the TV programmes are rubbish tonight.

I'm going to watch a repeat of Poirot at 9pm.

Goodnight Squiggle, enjoy your book.

I have been reading, and watching Whitney,s funeral.
A Dog Named Christmas..chapter 5 soon x

Goodnight squiggle xxx 

good evening Another busy day, with my colleague pulling another sickie.. Then I saw her at a shop during my lunch break and she looked like she hadn't a care in the world I did get a bonus from my boss which was nice. Mr summer & I went out for tea tonight Now we've got a Harry Potter movie on Skylark, what kind of dog do you have?! Congrats to Cheltenham, that's an impressive win Yogi I hope your snow showers are minimal, we've had a couple of flutterings here Squiggle sweet dreams enjoy your book Joyron I hope you're having a good weekend

Summer, you deserve a bonus for putting up with that work-shy, skiving colleague.

Skylark, I loved A Dog Named Christmas, are you enjoying it?

I didn't watch any of Whitney's funeral. Did it go off without any disruptions from those hate-filled idiots?

Did you say that in one breathe Summer! 
I have a staffy, female named Kia, she is 13  

Whitney,s funeral went off without those people as far as i know, but it was long! But emotional.
Yes its a lovely book x Trying my best to keep it clean 

Some silly people have been known to drop books in the bath.

 I am returning this one intact, to whom i dont know yet  Such a responsibility !

Hehe I've dropped magazines in the bath before feels horrid! Aw kia sounds lovely, what's her colouring?!

Brindle Summer and just a sweetie x

 

Glad I'm not the only one.
