I think you was right the first time Yogi 

Very sad Sweet  

 Probably.

Fanks moonie, we'll get through it somehow You alright?

One day at a time Sweet, one day at a time 

Yep, am okay fanks 

Big hugs, Summer. I know it's a difficult time for all of you.

Thanks yogi I think we're doing ok I've got to get some sleep, sweet dreams both of you hope tomorrow is hot for you

I need to sign out too, I think I've caught Summer's sleepyitis again.

Goodnight Moonie and Summer, sweet dreams.

Goodnight Sweet. Sleep well and have a relaxing weekend. Sweet dreams   

Goodnight Yogi. You sleep well too and have a great weekend. Sweet dreams   

Good morning everyone

 

Sunny and warm here.

 

Summer, if you watched Morse you know what to expect from Lewis. I don't expect Lewis to return as the actors want to move on to other things and Kevin Whateley is at the age where Lewis would expect to retire. The final episode of Lewis gave him a happy ending which pleased viewers.

Endeavour is essentially the replacement series but shows Morse at the start of his career. That is a series which is likely to continue for as long as the actor who plays Endeavour Morse wants to. His boss Thursday (played by Roger Allam) fits well and could possibly have his own series in the future.

ITV are very commercially minded. They know that these series are virtually guaranteed public successes so it's in their interests to keep them going in one form or another.

 

And the other ITV detective show Foyle's War is another hugely popular show. Apparently Anthony Horowitz tweeted recently ago that he's writing more scripts.

   @AnthonyHorowitz Can I ask please how many episodes of Foyle have been agreed to for the next series. Are you writing all of them?

    

    
2. Anthony Horowitz ‏@AnthonyHorowitz 26 Jun

   @Howard54473790 Three episodes. I'm writing two.

Finally back on line, good morning everyone.  Good news about Foyle's War   sorry to hear your MiL had a bad day Summer.  Have a good day everyone

Squiggle, it's always disconcerting when your internet connection plays up, I'm glad yours is back

I think it will be quite some time before we see the Foyle's War episodes as they are just at the initial scripting stage and they haven't been mentioned on DS yet as far as I could see either on their site or their forum.

Good morning everyone. Weather is cloudy, with some sunny spells.

Glad your internet is back, Squiggle. I'm like a headless chicken when my internet goes down.

Good news about Foyle's War, I love that programme.

Have a good day all.

Good morning one and all   

 

I liked Foyle's War it was gentle but kept my interest 

As for Endeavour I have watched very little but it didn't do anything for me tbh, sorry.

Have a great weekend Buddies  

I think Endeavour is of interest to those who watched Morse over the years and it's interesting to see how the young Morse compares to the Morse as played by John Thaw. Although Colin Dexter doesn't write the Endeavour stories he is still involved as an advisor. He's also a bit like Alfred Hitchcock was in that he makes very brief appearances in the episodes (non-speaking) so it adds a bit of fun for devotees to see if they can spot him. I've also met Colin Dexter at a book signing and was able to have a brief chat with him.

Good afternoon it's a heat wave here! Anyone for an ice cream? Squiggle, I'm glad you're back online

Thanks Summer, I'll have a 99

With two flakes please Sweet 

At this time that sports/music festival very very close to where I live has been going on for about 3 hours. There's no mass parking in my road and the sound is not noticeable unless I listen out for it. It's far too early to say, and I suspect the real test won't be until this evening, but the festval organisers saying this is Gloucester's equivalent to Glastonbury seem a bit of an exaggeration at this time. And so far there has been no point in trying out those headphones.

That's good news El  lets hope it stops reasonably quiet 

It may be good news for me, but not such good news for the organisers - numbers of 50,000 seem to be a bit unlikely. There are other things going on such as the Ladies final which could be why the numbers seem low at present but of course that won't be the case by this evening.

I'm glad you haven't had hoards of people parking near you, El. Although. it's a shame for the organisers if it hasn't been well attended.

 

I love Endeavour and hope it continues for a few more series. I loved Morse too.

 

An ice cream would be great thanks, Summer. It has been sunny this afternoon, with a bit of a breeze.

I hope it doesn't get too crowded and noisy tonight EL.

 

BB related I actually warmed to Dexter last night, when he went down those steps to enter the diary room I must admit I was a bit .  He's not quite the hard boiled guy he makes out is he?

Or he is a good actor or he knew what was going on 

You old cynic!

I really think his reaction was 100% genuine.

You're right of course   

I'm sure you aren't really.

*stays silent*  

You refuse to answer, on the grounds that you might incriminate yourself.

Evening what a scorcher of a day! How are we all? Did you enjoy the heat?

Evening Summer. It was a lovely sunny day up here, too. There was a breeze, so it didn't get too hot.

Of course, I am a man 

Hi Sweet  

Its been a stonker here too  It was just about bearable for me  I'm good thanks  How has your day gone? How is your MIL today?

It's been really busy moonie, and it was too hot for mr summer to walk bramble during the day so I had to take her out when I got home. I thoroughly enjoyed it, the wildflowers are beautiful at the moment! Sometimes I'm out with the dog and I just thank my lucky stars for my life MIL now has bed sores it's another bad day I'm afraid. I'm going to visit tomorrow Did anyone watch the tennis?

Is she stuck in bed all day, or do they sometimes get her up to sit in a chair? I hope she's getting some treatment for the sores.

 

I didn't see the ladies final today. Was it a good match?

Awww please you enjoyed your walk with Bramble Sweet  These things do go through our minds in times of trouble 

Sorry to hear about your MIL new problem Sweet Lets hope they sort it soon 

She will be so pleased to see you tomorrow  

 

I watched some of the tennis  I wanted Bartolli to win 

I heard it was a good match, she thrashed the other girl by all accounts. I hope to see the men's final tomorrow MIL is either in bed or in the chair, she has a special cushion & a gel mattress but that hasn't stopped the sores breaking open. I hope they can give her something to relieve the pain
