Message from moonie, via baz;
His computer has been taken for repairs and he'll be back as soon as he can.
I hope it doesn't take long and is easily fixed, I hate to think of him being unwell, and unable to get online.



Sweet dreams all

Good morning everyone. After a misty start, the weather is dry and bright.

Thanks for passing on the message, Summer, and I hope it doesn't take too long to fix Moonie's computer.

El, I hope your cold is starting to ease off and you feel better today.

Squiggle, did your grandson manage to get any information on the driver who caused his accident? 

Skylark, we miss you.

 

 

Good morning everyone

 

A bit of blue sky amongst the clouds today.

 

Thanks for your commiserations- the cold broke on Thursday and by now it's mainly coughing which is annoying.

 

Poor Moonie I hope it doesn't take long for the computer to be repaired.

Yogi, I know that Skylark's computer was probably unrepairable which is why she hasn'e been around.

 

Good morning everyone, I do hope the coughing is not keeping you awake at night EL, and that you start to feel better today, I hope you feel better today too pirate, hugs for you both

 

Poor moonie and skylark, I hate it when I can't get online

 

I haven't heard from my grandson Yogi and I'm a bit worried about him, his dad phoned me yesterday morning to say that my grandson's foot had blown up and gone purple so he went into A & E only to be told after sitting there for hours that he probably wouldn't get to see a doctor until 3.30 in the morning so he hobbled all the way down to the town.  This was at 9.30 on Friday and he phoned his dad (who lives in Essex) who said he should ring me.  But he wouldn't as he didn't want to drag me out.  He should have phoned me I wouldn't have minded at all.  So I phoned him and texted him yesterday to say please let me know if you need a lift but I haven't heard anything.  He did try to go into work but they had to send him home, poor lad.

Squiggle, you must be worried sick. I hope you get some news about your grandson which puts your mind at rest

What a worry for you, Squiggle, I hope he gets in touch with you soon to let you know what is happening. Does he live quite a distance from you, or is it close enough for you to drive over and see if he's okay?

 

El, thanks for the info about Skylark's computer, I hadn't realised it was beyond repair.

Yogi, that's what Skylark thought at the time she mentioned it, I think she was borrowing a computer at the rime.

 

Good afternoon it's bright & sunny here, although quite windy.

El I hope your cough eases soon, that's my most dreaded part of a cold- it disrupts sleep and make your ribs sore I find a little bit of honey helps if my throat is ticklish

Your poor grandson squiggle it sounds like he does need a doctor, I hope he gets in touch with you soon, if only to tell you he's seen one

Yogi, what are your plans today?

I hope skylark can get a new computer, it would be lovely to have her come back

I hope moonie's tech people are good, efficient and not too pricey

If I don't find out beforehand Yogi (and everyone, thank you for your concern ) I will find out on Tuesday when my eldest grandson comes to live with me, they should all be over then.  I have to accept that he is a grown man now and if he needs me he knows I'm there, it don't stop me worrying though.

I hope he gets in touch with you soon and stops you worrying, and I hope he has managed to get some medical attention for his foot.

 

Summer, I have visitors coming later today so I'm off to do some cooking.

Thanks El, I must have missed that bit.

It will be nice for you to have the family together over the next few days

Summer, I hope you've had a good day. Got to go now, goodnight, sweet dreams.

*night owls*

Sorry I wasn't around much today, we ended up being much busier than planned; we went to the garden centre, walked bramble and then went out for tea with SIL.

I enjoyed Downton

Yogi, I hope you had a lovely day with your visitors coming

Sweetest of dreams everyone see you tomorrow

Good morning everyone

 

Fair weather here at present with some sunshine.

 

I'll be off shortly to take my car in for the annual MOT & service.

 

Good morning everyone. Weather is dry and bright.

Good luck with with the MOT and service, hope it isn't too costly, El.

Sounds like you had a lovely day yesterday, Summer.

I need to go up the loft on a hunt for some Christmas stuff that went missing last year. Unless Mr Yogi accidentally threw it out when we had the loft floored, it ought to be up there somewhere. If it isn't, I might need to buy new stuff.

Have a good day all.

 

Good morning everyone, it's dry with a pearly grey sky this morning.  I hope all goes well with the MOT this morning EL.  Good luck with the Christmas stuff hunt Yogi, it will be fun if you do have to buy new stuff, it's just the price of everything nowadays isn't it?  Have a good day everyone.

good morning
Cloudy here, I think it could rain.

There's a wasp in our staff room and I can't catch it I don't want to, but I may have to spray it because it looks tired, weak and grumpy. I'm worried it'll sting Bramble

Yogi, are you putting your tree up tomorrow?!

That's a simply beautiful tree Summer, the wasp will almost certainly die soon, they come in my window and buzz against the patio door and the next thing they are twitching on the floor.  I agree it's a worry that it might sting Bramble if she bothers it, hope it doesn't.

It's a lovely tree isn't it squiggle
Any news about your grandson?

The wasp, luckily, is high up on the window and Bramble is low down away from the window. She doesn't seem bothered by it at present. It got tangled in a cobweb but broke free!
If it won't let me catch it to free it, I'd rather put it out of it's misery. Poor thing is only lost

lol No Summer, it's a bit early to put up my Christmas tree. 

It's my Christmas table linen which has been lost - table cloths, runners and napkins, along with the angel for the top of the tree and a candle arch. I already replaced the angel and the candle arch last year but postponed buying new tablecloths etc. I attempted to go up into the loft the morning but the big light has blown and atm I don't have a replacement bulb for it - it isn't a standard bulb.

Squiggle, I love buying new Christmas goodies, so even if I find the lost items, I am sure to pick up a few bits and pieces. Every year, poor Mr Yogi says, "Please tell me you don't need any more baubles, ornaments etc? I usually reply, "I don't need any more, but............"

 

I'm back home having taken the car in and I'll be collecting it later afternoon. I'm not aware of any problems with the car but will find out in due course.

 

Summer, that's a lovely tree

I don't want to tempt fate but I have only had a couple of wasps come into the house this year, which is quite surprising as we had a pretty warm summer.

 

Fingers crossed the car sails through the MOT, El.

Hehe yogi I hope you find the linen, replacing could be expensive. What colour is it?!

The tablecloths are white with holly leaves and berries embroidered in the corners. The long runner is ivory, red and gold, with embroidery at both ends and the square one has Santas on it. I can't believe hubby was daft enough to throw them out, so I will have a good search in the loft before replacing them - once I get a new bulb for the loft light.

Yogi, I would be surprised if your hubby had thrown away the Christmas linen. Chances are that it's where it was stored after last Christmas in one of those safe places which people then forget where.

 

The bulb in my loft is the same as the one which was there when I bought the house, but that's because I don't store anything there so the bulb very rarely gets used.

 

Sounds really pretty! I love holly decor
I hope you can get a replacement bulb easily?

Any news on your car El?

Summer, not yet. They know I'll be leaving the house to collect it shortly so unless they ring in the next few minutes I won't know until I get there. If there were major problems they would have already rung me.

 

 

 

 

I am sure no news is good news  EL, that's my experience anyway   Still no news of my grandson, I will just have to be patient until tomorrow.  I can't believe Mr Yogi would have throw away that beautiful tablecloth, he will have tucked it away somewhere safe, it is Poirot time again.

Squiggle, Mr Yogi wouldn't have intentionally thrown out the tablecloths but he possibly put them in the 'chucking out' pile instead of the 'keeping' pile - he has done it before.

I hope you get some good news about your grandson tomorrow and his foot is better.

No problems with the MOT and the total cost including annual service was £208 which is what I was hoping for. Last year the service picked up a few advisory matters which got dealt with earlier this year so I wasn't expecting any nasties this time.

 

Squiggle, as Yogi says, I hope your grandson's foot is better when you see him tomorrow.

Hi everyone! 
Not been around for a bit, various reasons. But nice to be back, and nice to  know i have been missed. 
Will catch up with all the gossip. 
Thanks for caring 

Welcome back Skylark, you've been missed heaps

Nice to see you back Skylark, computer problems fixed now I hope?

 

A good result on your car's MOT EL, nice to have that over and done with.

Yay, welcome back! You have been missed loads.

 

 

 

Glad the MOT and service went well, El.

Will pop back later xx

It's brilliant having you back, Skylark.

Got to sign out now, goodnight everyone.

Leaving a hug for Summer.

*night owls*  I thought I would get an early night tonight but mr summer decided to take me out for tea!

Skylark! lovely to see you! You have indeed been missed, I hope you're well and that your computer is alright now
How is the little school starter? Is she all settled in?

El, great news about your car, on both price and verdict. What a relief

Yogi, what did mr yogi once accidentally put on the wrong pile?
I've misplaced some DVDs, I must have moved my favourites when I decorated. I'll have to go on a proper hunt for them!

Moonie, hope you're kicking well, we're thinking of you
