*enters thread and twirls*

I feel so much better with my hair shorter again.

Brilliant pic of the lightning bolt, Squiggle. I did laugh at El's suggestion (and agree) that it would have been preferable if the lightning had struck that awful statue.

I love the owl bag - there are lots of owl products out there, atm. Helpforheroes have owl Christmas cards on their website.

Sorry Summer, looks like I will miss you again tonight.

I'm trying to regulate my sleep pattern (not always successful) so going to bed at a reasonable time.

Hope you've had a good day. Goodnight, sweet dreams.

*night owls*

Uuuggghhhhh I've got an upset tummy hopefully it'll soon pass

Yogi, I'm pleased you're happy with your hair cut it's such a lovely feeling!

Sweetest of dreams to all of you and I'll see you in the morning

Good morning everyone

 

Wet here overnight and it's grey and damp out there.

 

Summer, I hope you are feeling better this morning

Good morning everyone. Looks like it is going to be showery today.

Summer, I hope you feel better this morning.

Have a good day everyone.

 

Good morning everyone, oh no hope your tummy upset clears up quickly Summer, that's the last thing you need.  I hope you do manage to sort your sleep pattern out Yogi, nothing worse than lying awake in the middle of the night, especially if you're tired out and still can't sleep.

 

It's grey and miserable here and likely to stay that way for most of the weekend, but I hope it might be a bit better where you are, have a good day

Squiggle, the weather here is much the same as yours. Monday looks OK but Tuesday is forecast to be wet and temperatures a maximum of 12 which is somewhat below average for the time of year. Later on next week it should be drier and warmer in our area.

Good morning

It's grey & wet here too, the forecast doesn't look to improve much over the weekend.

Thank you all I do feel much better this morning, but I'm starving myself for as long as possible just to get rid of any bugs. I've got some rich tea biscuits ready for later

Here's something to make us smile;
I had an email from Betty's this morning, they've got new autumn items available now...

Glad you are feeling a bit better, Summer.

Those owls are gorgeous - too lovely to eat!

I've been trimming, slicing and blanching beans this morning. They are all bagged up and in the freezer now. I think Mr Yogi was pretty impressed with my first attempt at growing runner beans.

Off to the shops to buy a colour for my hair, yesterday's haircut has exposed a couple of stray grey hairs.

See you all later.

Those owls would make some lovely stocking fillers Summer.  Glad your tummy is a little better and definitely a good idea to eat little until your tummy is quite better.

 

Well done on your bean growing and freezing Yogi, good luck with choosing just the right colour too.

Summer, I'm glad you are feeling better today

Those owls look great. I've tracked down the links for anyone interested in buying some:

For the large owl: http://www.bettys.co.uk/produc...e-Owl,23153,268.aspx

For the smaller owls: http://www.bettys.co.uk/produc...-Owls,23155,268.aspx

For the brownies: http://www.bettys.co.uk/produc...ies-4,23143,268.aspx

 

You can also get small foiled milk chocolate owls for £1-20 each

http://www.bettys.co.uk/produc...e-Owl,23154,268.aspx

 

At least some of these are only available until 1 November so don't leave it too late.

 

I have bought light golden brown, but I find they tend to come out darker than the name would suggest.

At least he's got the right idea, it's tipping down here. It's not sunset for another 47 minutes here but it's so gloomy here it could be.

 

Aw paddington! I loved him as a child

Runner beans are one of my favourite foods, my dad grew them in our garden as I grew up. I don't think you can beat the taste of home grown ones!

Some are sleeping, some are nodding off and some are awake

 How sweet! Is that wrapping paper?

How are you feeling tonight, has your tummy settled down?

Got to go now, goodnight Summer, sweet dreams.

Sorry yogi! I got annoyed that we had to wait an hour to see who won, so I went to get ready for bed!
An hour, that's ridiculous!

I'm feeling much better now thank you
I think it's a pic of a fabric pattern, but it would make cute wrapping paper wouldn't it

I hope you sleep well tonight sweet dreams

Good morning everyone

 

After a wet evening and night here it's dried up though quite cloudy.

 

Paperchase used to have wrapping paper rather like Summer's owl picture but I'm not sure if they still stock it.

 

Good morning everyone, I agree it's a very cute fabric and would make great wrapping paper. 

 

I hope you slept well Yogi and that your tummy is much better this morning Summer.

 

I doubt I will catch up with much of CBB as I think I can guess from some of the thread titles who won - a sad day for our society if that's a good role model.

Good morning everyone. A lovely, sunny day up here.

I'm pleased you are feeling better, Summer.

El, I had never heard of paperchase. I've had a quick browse of their website and bookmarked it.

Squiggle, I agree with your comment about the chosen winner for CBB. I think that people like our forum members are no longer the target audience.

Have a good day everyone.

Good afternoon a cool but bright, sunny day here so far

Yogi, paperchase is a great shop, you'll find some gorgeous things in there

Guess what vegetables I had at lunchtime today:

I didn't pinch Yogi's

 I believe you.

I shall have a good look at the site later tonight.

In the current issue of the Radio Times, there's an article by Tim Dowling where he imagines various trans-national television experiments. It follows from the announcement that there would be an episode of Midsomer Murders filmed in Denmark with assistance from the producers of The Killing.

 

The one I liked most was The Great Folson Prison Bake Off. Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry travel to the US to oversee a baking competition in the kitchens of one of America's most overcrowded maximum security prisons. In the first technical bake off one inmate is praised for his Victoria sponge's even texture, only to be disqualified when it's discovered that his butter cream filling contains a knife.

 

There's also Strictly Come Danske. An angst-ridden Copenhagen version in which po-faced Danish celebrities perform soul-sapping routines in chunky knitted jumpers, while judges including the irrepressible Craig Revel Horwood become increasingly introspective and morose.

 

Thanks El Loro 

never would have got that ,but so simple will try ..but It makes sense

I like this bit best EL

Looking forward to the Midsomer/The Killing combo.

Feeling tired, so will say goodnight all.

Leaving a hug for Summer.

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy but dry here at present, rain and wind expected later but not as bad as northern areas.

 

 

Good morning everyone. Weather is very wet and windy up here.

 

No Summer last night? I hope her tummy bug hasn't come back.

 

Have a good day everyone.

 

Yogi, Summer did log on around 8 yesterday evening but didn't post anything. I hope she's OK

Good morning everyone, we don't have any rain - yet - but it is on it's way.  I hope it clears up for you later Yogi and you don't get too much rain EL.  Summer I do hope your tummy bug has cleared up look forward to hearing from you later.

Good morning
A wet, gloomy and windy day here, I'm glad I only plan to paint the bathroom today!

Lol at the Folsom bake-off, I would definitely watch that

Yogi, thank you I'm all better and just fine thank you.
My original plan for yesterday was to finish work and start the decorating, but I then got a call from SIL inviting us to go out for tea. So a mad rush to get ready, get a ride and meet everyone there happened. We didn't get served until late and by the time we drove home it was midnight!
It was a lovely evening though

I will pop back to catch up on everyone's weekend, I'm going to get on with the painting.
Yogi- any PB visits this week?

Squiggle, not much rain here yet though it is windy. I hope it's not too bad for our friends in the north.

 

Summer, I'm glad you had a lovely evening

 

It's Battle of Britain Sunday today and we had the Airman's hymn at the end. It's not known who wrote it but the music is the same as the well known Eternal Father Strong to Save ----- for those in peril on the sea.

 

And joyful hearts to Thee ascend

I hadn't realised its Battle of Britain Sunday EL, Eternal Father Strong to Save is one of my favourite hymns and those words will be very fitting set to that lovely tune.

 

I am so glad that it wasn't your tummy that kept you from the forum Summer, sounds like you had a good time.

Squiggle, the Battle of Britain Sunday is the first Sunday on or after the anniversary of the battle which was on 15 September 1940 so this year it falls on the 15th itself.

 

The man who lead the prayers in church today. although he did not fly in the Battle of Britain, he was in the 152 Squadron, many of whom were.

 

Here he is in a Tempest MK2 in 1946 after the end of WW2.

I didn't know it was battle of Brittain day either, may they all be resting in peace I'm thankful for our freedom

I've done the ceiling & walls and am having a bite to eat before I start glossing, it's all going very well so far
