Good morning everyone, wow from that long term forecast it looks as if it's going to get cold quite quickly.

I love the 'fwends' pic moonie

Well done on finding just the right frame, I hope the new arrangement of pictures on your wall look just the way you wanted it to Yogi.

What an awful day you had Summer, well done on speaking your mind, I hope the guy learned a lesson.  Is it too late to cancel the order for the flooring?  I would be tempted to, they sound inefficient and uncaring, they don't deserve to get your order, mucking people about like that.

Hope you have a good day with your granddaughter Skylark.

I couldn't believe my eyes this morning, the deer is back in the field again, I hope she's not pushing her luck

Morning Squiggle

May i ask what happened with the deer? Why its 'pushing its luck'?

It's because of the hunters in that area

Exactly so.  It's a real treat to see her grazing on all the lush grass - it is a sheep paddock but for the moment the sheep are penned in the upper field and my next door neighbour probably won't let them into the paddock for a week or two, the grass has been growing ungrazed for about 2 months now.  What to my eyes is a beautiful sight is going to look like dinner for those with a more practical eye sadly.

right

Are they allowed to hunt and kill wild deer then? They should be hunted and killed too

Sadly yes moonie.

That's very sad. Such beautiful creatures too Squiggle

Thats sad squiggle, i feel like coming down and guarding the poor thing. 

Thinking of taking GD out, but its so windy, not sure where to go. Will give it another wee while to see if the wind dies down.

Trouble is Skylark she would be as frightened of us as she would a man with a gun so we are helpless.

I hope the wind drops a little so you two can venture out nicely tuggled up.

Yes thats true, sad 

Will get out soon for some fresh air, she likes seeing the boats at the Forth, but a bit tooo windy for that! x

Oh no Squiggle! The deer must like the grass in the paddock, to keep returning. I hope she goes back where she belongs before anything bad happens to her.

Skylark, it's very windy over here too, so I'm not venturing out either. Hope the wind dies down and you and granddaughter manage to get out to see the boats later on.

Hi Moonie, how are you today?

Hiya Yogi

I'm ok fankoo How is your day going?

That's good. 

I'm having a quiet day. Middle son and DiL are not visiting today (they usually come every Saturday) and hubby has gone to a small get together with some retired staff he hasn't seen for a few years. 

Awww no PB cuddles today then Hope you got some spare from the last visit

A quiet day is welcome sometimes though, I guess

When eldest son popped in last night he said he might bring PB on a visit tomorrow.

A quiet day is sometimes quite nice.

possible cuddles top-up on the cards after all then Yogi?

 But I'll need to fight off Mr Yogi. She loves sitting/jumping on her grandad's tummy - we reckon she thinks it's a little bouncy castle.

I'm sure your cuddles may just about win over her granddads 'bouncy tum'

You soon get tired of bouncing but never of cuddles

 I'm sure you're right.

I am, occasionally

 That's more than most men!  *runs*

Off for a cup of tea and a read, while it's quiet. See you later, Moonie.

Okies, enjoy your cuppa in peace and quiet See you later

Been in the Strictly thread and about to go into the X Factor thread but I am around.

Who said that?  

The wee Scottish wumman.

hello wee Scottish wumman

 Hello tall Black Country man.

When hubby came home from his get together, he brought in some takeaway, so I didn't have to cook tonight - woohoo!

Oh, well done Mr Yogi. What a gentleman you are  

He is now lying conked out on the couch - I think there were a couple of drinkies involved in the get together.

Ooh, almost forgot, he also bought me some coffee creams and Percy Pigs from M&S.

he must have indeed had a good time then

Coffee creams and Percy Pigs, what more can a woman ask for

 Nothing! - I'm easily pleased.

Awwwww

What are you watching on telly - sport?

Snooker most of the day. Now World Cup foodball qualifying...Senegal v Ivory Coast

Who is winning?

Senegal 1-0 with ten minutes to go but they need another goal to win on away goals count

So it's all to play for then?
