Keira does that sometimes, and she has a weak stomach to start with.

The thing is you cant watch them all the time, can you?

I'm back! Oh I have thunderstorm envy, I haven't had a single one yet. Did you enjoy it yogi? Bramble is back to normal thank you, albeit rather obsessed with looking at pip & penny, we fed her rice and it's sorted her tummy out

Moonie, how are you feeling tonight?

I got booted out. I was knocking on the door for ages but nobody would let me in.

That's good Sweet 

I'm back! Hope the robot clears off for you both as well

Not to bad fanks Sweet fankoo 

 Rice or porridge works for Keira. 

Same here Yogi 

I always feel that I'm being rude if I can't get back in to say goodnight.

Me too 

Pleased to hear it moonie long may it continue Which baseball team do you support? Yogi, I'm the same! I like to be able to say goodnight

Fanks Sweet 

And speaking... I'm about to nod off so, goodnight yogi goodnight moonie

In case I get kicked out again, I shall wish you both goodnight. Sleep well and sweet dreams.

Goodnight Sweet. Sleep well and have sweet dreams   

Goodnight Yogi. Sleep well and have sweet dreams   

Good morning everyone

 

A reasonably sunny and dry day here today but showers/rain forecast from tomorrow and looks like it will be unsettled for quite some time. The great British summer looks to be making a comeback.

 

My brother is coming here later this afternoon for a weekend visit. He'll probably bring some cakes with him but I don't know what they will be. The trainline between Kemble and Swindon (which is the line between Gloucester and London) will be closed for much of August into the beginning of September. Quite a lot of the line between Kemble and Swindon is single track and the closure will be to create a second track. This has been the intention for many years and it will finally be done. Inconvenient for people during the closure (I assume that either buses will replace the train or the train will be diverted down to Bristol Parkway and then on to Swindon leading to longer times) but once done there should be a considerable improvement as they will be able to have trains going in opposite directions at the same time.

 

I don't know what was causing the problems here last night but Lori seems to have been aware of it and it seems OK today.

 

Good morning everyone. Dry atm, with showers forecast.

Enjoy your visit with your brother, El. Is he planning to visit again during August/September during the train disruptions, or will he wait until everything is back to normal?

Got some errands to run this morning, will be back later. Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone.  Enjoy your visit with your brother EL, ooh cakes to look forward to

 

Bramble doesn't learn does she?  My grandson's dog Tilly is the same, always finding disgusting things on the beach and then being sick.

 

We are forecast rain each day for the next 10 days and much cooler temperatures but I am ready for a change, I was finding the night times a little uncomfortable.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Yogi, I'm not sure when my brother's next visit will be. It is quite possible that it will be the last weekend in August where there is the late bank holiday and that is in the period of line closure. I'll mention it to him when I see him.

 

 

Good morning sunny and warm here this morning El, I hope you enjoy your brother visit, come back and tell us what kind of cake he brings

Squiggle, lol no bramble certainly doesn't learn, I think she's just going to be one of those dogs

Good morning all  

 

Sunny here but with a cool breeze, for now 

 

Hope you have a great day 

Morning moonie what ya doin?

Hi Sweet 

I'm watching an episode of Kojak I recorded a few days ago 

What are you up to?

Oh I liked him lol is it good? I'm "working" and I'm stuck on WWF, no mojo today it seems lol How are you feeling today?

Yep, second episode I have watched today  Don't "work" to hard  I am useless at WWF 

 

Not feeling to bad fanks 

Hows you?

I just relax while I can moonie my mum is trying very hard to best me at WWF so I can submit a rubbish score lol Glad you're on the mend you any good at guessing the killer? My best friend is obsessed with Colombo

Relaxing is good Sweet  Mums should let you win   Fanks 

Nope, I am useless at guess 'who done it' 

We'll just blame Ducky then, she's on holiday so won't even notice that we've got her in trouble again What are you having for lunch?

Its always good to blame someone who isn't here  

I haven't decided on lunch yet Sweet, have you?

Errands complete.

I think the problem with dogs is that they aren't able to make the link between eating something, and being sick several hours later. It's the same when they do something naughty - there's no point ticking them off, unless you actually catch them in the act, otherwise they haven't a clue what why they are in trouble. 

Does that make sense? - well, I know what I mean.

Talking of lunch, I popped to the shops for a newspaper and had to pass the chip shop. I was very tempted but managed to resist. I am going to have a chicken and salad sandwich (using a lettuce from my garden).

El, I presume the railway will make alternative arrangements for people who want to travel from London to Gloucester during the upgrade work?

 

Would I be right in assuming that WWF is effectively online Scrabble? Not that I'm going to start playing it.

 

My mother was hooked on Murder She Wrote and Perry Mason and later Diagnosis Murder. Although she saw Columbo and Kojak and virtually all of the American detective shows of that era her favourite of that era was Ironside (AKA A man called Ironside). Although I watched many of them over the years I can't say I was hooked on any of them. My favourite series over the years were The Avengers, the original Star Trek series, the Star Trek - Voyager series (some of the stories were extraordinarily deep dealing with subjects such as holocaust denial and life after death).

Nope 

I fancy some chips but can't be bothered to go down the road 

Hi Yogi btw 

You would indeed El 

Yogi, the railway people say that they will provide buses for the stretch between Kemble and Swindon which will add about 35 minutes to the journey or for some peak time trains the train will go from Gloucester to Bristol Parkway then to Swindon. Bristol Parkway is north of Bristol and is close to the M4.

Thanks Moonie
