I like Frost.

Off to finish cooking dinner, see you later.

Hope you enjoy your dinner Yogi 

So we now know the royal baby is George Alexander Louis.

 

George had seemed to be the most likely. Nothing on the BBC website as to why Kate and William chose those names and it may never be revealed. What is a bit spooky is that Earl Mountbatten popped into my mind this morning - he was an uncle of Prince Philip and was assassinated by the IRA. His Christian name was Louis.

 

No real surprise with the baby's name, except that he only has three not four. Louis is one of William's names and Earl Mountbatten was a great favourite of Prince Charles, so I can understand why it was included. 

George (King George VI)

Alexandra (The Queens second name)

Louis (Mountbatten)

 

 

Evening Moonie, it's lovely to see you are feeling brighter today, welcome back I like the name George for our new baby king I was hoping for a Henry but maybe he'll come next. Why the Louis though? I see that was one of the names predicted but I don't know why I love that Jane Austen is to be the new face of the £10 note too, I hate to think of how many times I've watched pride & prejudice, but I have no idea what Jane looked like!

Oh I seeee, that's why Louis. Thanks!

When I heard that Jane Austen is to go on the £10 notes, I immediately thought of you and your Pride and Prejudice obsession.

Lol yogi, well there's worse things I could be known for! How was your day?

Tbh, it was a bit boring.

How are you getting on with the decorating?

Btw, I quite like Mr Darcy too.

Really? No PB today then? Boring could translate as relaxing I'm fully prepped and ready to paint! I sanded all the upstairs today and filled all the gaps/cracks. I think I'm going to paint the bathroom ceiling while I'm at it, and then do that as my next project

Mr Darcy is fab

Believe me, it was boring, not relaxing.

No PB this week - hopefully might see her on Sunday night.

You have been busy with the prep, well done you!

Fankoo Sweet 

Have you got your appetite back yet, Moonie?

Sorry, got to go now, see you tomorrow. Goodnight Summer and Moonie, sweet dreams.

Sorry Yogi, we just had a power cut 

Yep, food intake is good fanks 

Goodnight Yogi. Sleep well and sweet dreams   

Sorry, mr summer came home so I thought i would catch up on his news Sweet dreams yogi I was just thinking how wonderful it is that PB was born the same year as the little king Moonie I hope your power is all back to normal and that everything is ok I'm heading off to bed myself now so night night, and I hope you feel good tonight

Yep, power back on now Sweet 

Very lovely about PB too 

 

Goodnight Sweet. Sleep well and have sweet dreams   

Love the owl 

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here, dry at present but heavy showers forecast around noon.

 

Visit to the dental hygienest late morning.

 

Summer, a couple of pictures to show what Jane Austen looked like:

And what the bank note is expected to look like:

 

Good morning everyone. It's raining today.

What a beautiful owl, Summer.

Weekly shopping to do - exciting stuff.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone, we had quite a bit of rain overnight, we needed it.  It's a nice 'washed clean' morning now. 

 

Summer have you ever read Pride & Prejudice, it's a wonderful book.

 

Good luck with the hygienist EL, I wonder whether they will use that water device, it certainly is thorough.

Squiggle, the hygienist is new at my dental practice and I have no idea what she will use. My dentist did it herself previously and it wasn't your water device. There was one time where the scale and polish was particularly heavy and when I left I realised that I was in a state of shock, shaking and feeling cold and for a few days whenever I brushed my teeth, there was blood. As you can imagine, I'm not looking forward to this.

 

I can understand that EL but it really has to be done.  My hygienist said when she started that she was not sure she could get it all done in one session and she kept asking me if I was OK.  It was not at all painful or even uncomfortable but I knew she was getting rid of all the build up of tartar that would have led to really bad gum disease with the risk of me losing my teeth, so in a funny way I enjoyed it.  I'll be thinking of you.

Thank you squiggle.

 

I have sensitive teeth and find the scale and polish to be very uncomfortable, so I sympathise with you, El. Here's hoping it isn't as bad as you anticipate.

Thanks Yogi

 

I'm now off to the hygienist.

 

I war rummaging through some boxes the other day and found a Scottish one pound note 

Good luck El I hope this experience is far less horrid than the last! Thanks for the Jane Austen pic, she's much younger than I imagined, very fresh faced How old is the note moonie?!

Hi Sweet 

It's 20 years old according to the date on it 

How cool, where's it been hiding all these years?

In amongst a whole load of boxed rubbish stuff in the back bedroom 

I'm back from the dental hygienist in one piece. Not too bad thought I have to go back in August. She used an ultrasonic device rather then the water thing that squiggle's hygienist uses.

 

Summer, I agree that Jane Austen looked very fresh faced. She died when she was only 41 which is why you won't find any pictures of her as older.

 

The Royal Bank of Scotland still continues to issue some £1 bank notes:

Thanks El
