I love this owl   I am glad Mr Summer is standing no nonsense

 

Good morning everyone, a nice dry morning, off to church in a minute, have a good day everyone.

Been out with dog and yes it was the old lady taken away. Saw her brother who looks after her, says she ok but very breathless so he called ambulance. He doesnt keep well either, poor thing. 


Yogi, been watching Loony Tunes and now Dora the Explorer. Better get on, living room looks like a tip! See you later x

I hope the old lady is okay, her brother must be worried, poor soul.

Loony Tunes is good.

 

Squiggle, any update on the deer?

Good morning everyone

Its gray and cold here. Looking ominous for snow. I hope its better where you are

Have a great day in spite of the weather

*decides to stay out of the Darnies thread for now*

It was Sweet not me Bazzy

Morning moonie, weather not so bad here so off out. Are you still in hiding  

I do hope your neighbour will be OK Skylark, I missed your post earlier.  Yogi no sign of the deer today.  I don't know how she gets in, it could be the whole herd is there in the middle of the night, it's so dark I wouldn't have a clue but I reckon there's a gap in the hedge, and the fact that she ended up in the village suggests that she has gone through a garden further down the lane to get out.

Aw poor neighbour, I hope they take good care of her skylark and that she's soon back home.

Ah the old Tom & Jerry's are my favourites especially the Xmas ones. I saw a DVD available of them recently and am now wishing that I had bought it

I've rearranged our garage this morning to make way for the furniture that will need to be stored in there, we really need to throw out a lot of stuff!

Good afternoon Skylark

Yep, still hiding but am tempted to show me face

Glad you have decent weather there. Enjoy your outing

Hi Sweet

Thought you was going to have an 'idle' day today

 

 Go on be a devil  As soon as i said it was nice lo and behold the clouds came and now cold, so back.
You been busy Summer. hope all the work gets done to your satisfaction x
As for DVd,s, i root around the many charity shops  here for the kiddie ones. Some only a few pence, and when she gets tired of them i give them a clean and pop them back in. I will get her some new ones from Santa via Amazon 


P.S Yes hope old lady will be ok in hospital, think she is 89. It will give her brother a wee rest too. He is in his 70,s and doesnt keep well.

Hi again Skylark

I did venture in but only cause I knew Bazzy had already been in

Shame about the weather but its better to be in the warmth of home

Yep, baz is mad

That was the plan moonie, but I thought I'd get a head start so there's less for mr summer to do later

Well done Sweet. I am sure he will appreciate that

Oh dear the wrath of Baz isnt good  

I've dropped my brother at the railway station. A pleasant and uneventful weekend so he could recharge his batteries for the mandatory interview he has tomorrow. The position that he and his co-workers are required to be interviewed for is regarded as a bit of a poisoned chalice as it is to find, train, and organise volunteers to run those libraries which will not be run by paid staff from next April. The response to finding volunteers to date by the council has not been good and whoever gets the position will have a tough job. Although my brother does have good organisational skills and is good at giving encouragement to staff, he readily admits that he withdraws into himself when in company. And he would have a tough time in trying to build up contacts and relationships with say the local volunteer bureau.

He knows that he has to be seen to be taking this interview process seriously as he does not want the council to be able to dismiss him without any redundancy money.

 

On a lighter note he showed me some of his photos he took on his recent holiday in Belgium. Most of them are of limited interest but there are a couple of stand out photos. I've asked him to email them to me so that I can post them here but he doesn't expect to do it for at least a week but I think they are worth waiting for.

 

Skylark, I hope your neighbour is OK.

 

Glad , El, your brother had a bit of time with you and the time went well. I do feel for for him and understand what you say. I feel both sadness and anger for him. It wasnt what he signed up for.Its a dreadful situation. I hope, non the less that tomorrow goes well for him and his co-workers. Believe me, i could have a good old rant, but shant.......

Skylark, thanks. My brother is probably more concerned for his co-workers than himself as he does have the savings which he inherited and that with the redundancy together with the state and council pension he will eventually get when he reaches retirement age are sufficient so that he does not have the financial problems that the others would have if they can't find employment elsewhere.

Yes El, i can see how he cares. Dreadful situation tho...

Off now, we going to nanas for tea. If i could get out of this i would ....

Goodnight all, take care 

Goodnight skylark, I hope the food is good

El, I really do feel for your brother I bet he can't wait for it all to be settled. Is he looking forward to retiring?

Nope. It will be 'body armour' time tonight in Darnies Skylark 

How did your garage re-organization go Sweet?

My brother intends to do voluntary work if he loses his job so he intends to keep active.

 

Good for him El

Good for him, El. The library world's loss will be the voluntary world's gain.

Summer, I hope your garage reorganisation went well.

Moonie, are you and Summer still in hiding from Baz?

Squiggle, I hope the deer stays out of the paddock and keeps away from any hunters.

Skylark, I hope tea at nana's went okay.

Had a PB filled day with lots of cuddles, so I'm a very happy granny.

I was in Darnies earlier Yogi. I think Sweet and I 'got away with it' unless Bazzy see this Mind you she did bolt two new norty steps in but I found an adjustable spanner so I don't know how long they will be in place 

 

you had a PB cuddles day woohoo! yeeeey!

So you are well and truly 'cuddles topped up' then

lol I can see Baz using superglue to stick you and Summer to that naughty step.

I had a lovely day and am fully topped up on cuddles. She fell asleep on my lap, so we had a snuggle.

She has already suggested superglue

Awwww sleep and snuggle, how lovely for you both

 Maybe you should take chocolates and flowers to soften her up - or a nice roast lamb dinner, Baz likes those (but make sure the lamb is well cooked).

How about a bouquet in the shape of a giraffe?

Although lamb would probably be more agreeable

 Nooooo, no giraffe in any shape or form! Go with the lamb dinner.

Yep, more sensible and less painful too

I do have my moments, few and far between though they are

Better than never having any at all.

Site has gone slow and coggy again.

I wonder sometimes Yogi

Yes, its dire Yogi

The stickies have disappeared so I can't find the I'm A Celebrity thread.
