Good morning everyone. Weather is cold, wet and windy. I predict I may be giving the same weather updates for months and months. El, I can't see the music video on my iPad app ATM but I will watch it later on my laptop Poor vicar, couldn't they have waited until he had gone before advertising the house? Summer, I did enjoy Downton, it's good to have it back. I have a few things to get from the shops, will be back later. xx

Squiggle,

Good morning chilly but sunny here. We need another heater for work, and Argos have a new range of economical oil free, free standing radiators. I checked the reviews and the one I fancy has great ratings, so I checked the stock and there's 1 left at our local store. I learned you can reserve online without payment I can pick it up anytime today or tomorrow. Squiggle that's so cute about the little lad, he can send me a too if he pleases lol Yogi I hope you don't get too cold outside Thinking of skylark

Good news about the new heater Summer

 

LOL at the picture, EL and Summer it gave me such a laugh to start my Monday, just imagine the poor postie with this pumpkin with a stamp stuck on it  

 

Now I have to think of two little books to send with my reply for my little letter writer and his brother.  I will have to go off and look at the Amazon website.  Evidently his brother is mad keen on info about severe weather, like tornados and things.  Any suggestions of kiddies books that come to mind would be gratefully received.

Squiggle, this is your atarting point on the Amazon website:

Sorry Squiggle, I missed your post earlier. How lovely to be asked to be the honorary penfriend grandmother to your friend's son, I think it's really sweet.

Thank you so much for the wonderful link EL I believe that it has led me to the perfect book on twisters and strange weather phenomena. 

Thank you, Squiggle. I hope your pen friend likes what you've chosen.

Good morning everyone

 

A sunny morning here but on the cool side.

 

good morning! Chilly but bright here, quick hello before I catch up properly.. Back soon

Good morning everyone, similar weather here to yours EL, it's breezy too.

Here's a little something to get :

 

Good morning everyone. Chilly and bright here, too. @ Squiggle's pic and poem.

I think you will like this little BBC news item. Well done Artin

I also spotted this:

Well done Artin Aww, how cute is that liliger cub! Good choice of name too:wink:

Both lovely clips EL, Artin is very inspiring and the liliger cub is soooo cute!.

Aaaw cute! I need one of those to sit near my feet and keep me warm, I've got icy toes today!

Harvey is good at lying on your feet and keeping them warm, shall I send him down to you?

Yes please, bramble lays on my head instead of feet Yogi, bramble just rolled in something dead that was crawling with maggots is there anything I need to do?!

Word is, nope. Just spray her to get rid of the stink.. She smells horrid!

Oh no, Summer! I'd stick her in a bath and then make sure there are no maggots still sticking to her.

I've had a look over her yogi, no maggots in her fur I'll sort the rest of her out tonight once we get home! Thank goodness I'm off tomorrow and MIL isn't having her I just saw something cool in last weeks hello mag- I took photos for you.. I'm not a fan of the geldolf girl but I did rather like her wedding pics, and my opinion of her dramatically improved after I found out that her golden retriever, Parper, was her ring bearer My flash has lit the shiny pages in places but you should see the pics reasonably

Her dog is gorgeous, and she does make a beautiful bride.

I'm not a fan of Peaches but she has impeccable taste in dogs, and she did make a lovely bride.

I liked her outfit, it's lovely I tried to clip a little flower to Bramble's fur near her ear, she refused to keep it in Only wanted it for a quick photo lol

Someone here is eating these:

You know who you are

El and Summer.

Summer, in case you didn't see my post in the GaGa Jury thread, you can get Jeff Ashton's book, "Imperfect Justice" for the ipad, it's only £3.99.

Hope Miss Bramble is less stinky now.

Off to bed, goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer.

Ooh really yogi?! I wonder if I dare read it? I get nightmares easily off creepy stories, but the case was very interesting, I'll think about it. I still think of that little girl sometimes Ive left Bramble with living room access for the first time to tonight, she's usually confined to the kitchen. I think she should be ok, but I'll find out in the morning Sweet dreams all

Good morning everyone

 

Sunny morning here, but not warm.

 

Channel 4 are showing today the 1995 film "The Englishman who went up a hill, but came down a mountain", starting at 1.20 this afternoon. Stars Hugh Grant and Tara Fitzgerald, and is semi-based on fact. It's not a great film but is pleasant and is closer in feel to some of the Ealing comedies where communities pull together.

 

Good morning I'm not quite up yet but I can see bright sunshine through the curtains. I hope everyone slept well, especially skylark Bramble didn't cause any trouble in the living room last night I think the upgrade will be permanent My mum is arriving on Saturday for a visit, which means today will be spent cleaning the house! Boring, but satisfying I'm awful at cleaning windows, I smear them no matter how I try not to. So I bought a little squeegee, let's see if I can do better with that

P.S. el I think I saw that movie a long time ago

Good morning everyone, I'm glad that Bramble behaved herself, especially after rolling around in disgusting stuff yesterday I wonder why these things smell good to them

 

The brekkie looks delish, thank you.  I have seen that movie EL, it was very enjoyable and I can still remember it quite well.

 

Skylark hope you slept well.

 

I'm with you Summer, I don't do creepy nightmare inducing things, I'm a wimp.

 

Hope it's a good day everyone, and this is for all of you

 

Thank you Summer for a yummy breakfast and thank you squiggle for your picture and message

 

I can now reveal to you that on Saturday at the vicar's farewell service we had a surprise visitor. As I was walking to the church on the way there I saw a large car with a very well known person in the back. It was closely followed by another large car in which I could see robes and some spectacular other things. When I got to the church I saw that the Queen with crown and orb was being escorted into the church and that the church was packed with people. I could hardly get inside.

 

 

 

I then woke up

 

Good morning everyone. the sun was shining when I rose but it's raining now. I think sunshine and showers were forecast.

Squiggle, that's a lovely poem, and I return the sentiment to you.

Summer, I'm pleased Bramble behaved overnight - especially after her stinky episode earlier in the day. She has redeemed herself.

Lovely breakfast, thank you. Good luck with the windows! I think I have tried every window cleaning product on the market - and I still streak them.

I hope your mum has a lovely visit with you.

El, I have never seen that film all the way through so I have set the V+ to record it - thanks for the heads up.

You had me going for a minute, El.

Yogi, that was a genuine dream I had

 

There was s short item on the news at lunchtime about a fire tornado in Australia. It's very rare luckily. It's because it's been so dry there. I found this 4 minute clip of the tornado which has been posted by Chris Tangey who is the man who filmed it near Mount Conner. It's better than the news item as it's virtually silent apart from the roar of the flames.
