night yogi velvet and summer

Good morning everyone.

 

Snow is still lying and it's freezing cold. Brr!

 

The poor birds are struggling in this weather and I'm going through a tonne of seed, time to nip to the garden centre for more supplies.

 

Have a good day everyone.

 

 

Good morning everyone

 

Very cold here and frosty. The forecast is for the temperature to rise during the day and for some rain later on.

 

I don't have much left to do with my clients' tax returns now but they don't have much time left to get the remaining information to me.

 

Weather update: it has started raining, so the snow should get washed away.

 

El, I hope your client gets the info to you asap.

Yogi, I've just been sending another chasing email to one of my clients asking him to go through the bank statements listing the interest income for me rather than waiting for the interest certificates. I suspect that the certificates will turn out to be for for replacement savings accounts where I already have the information rather than for the ones I need. There are a handful of other clients I need to see to get their returns signed but there's not much work to do to complete those.

 

There is one other client where I have heard nothing from him and he never paid me for last year's accounts and tax return. Although I could take him to the small claims court and get a court order the amount is such that if he ignored the order there would be nothing I could do and I would be out of pocket.

 

That must be so frustrating when you are having to wait on other people sending you the info you need - and  at the client who didn't pay you for last year's work.

Seen at Gloucester Cathedral yesterday:

Well said velvet, we need more people like Keith Alicia and Patsy and fewer people like the dreadful Cami Lee in my view.

 

Heavy frost here this morning but a pale blue sky.  I agree Yogi feeding the birds is vitally important when the weather is as cold as it is.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

I'll have to avoid asking you to "give us a twirl" after you've had your hair done

Twirl row at the Australian Open:

Good for her

Good afternoon all

Yogi sorry I conked out last night, belated sweet dreams

It's really nice to feed the birds, they must find life tougher during these winter months

El, I hope you relax the first week of February, you do work hard

 You won't offend me, El. I'm happy to twirl.

 Good on her.

No problem, Summer.

 

Yes, the poor birds are having a tough time in the freezing weather. It's now wet and windy up here but at least it won't be so cold for the birds.

Summer, thanks , February will be much quieter work-wise than January.

 

Yogi, your wet and windy weather is coming this way. It's clouded over now and some rain is expected a bit later though nothing particularly heavy.

 

It's pouring down now! I'll keep it up here so you don't get it.

 Everyone 

Sorry i missed your birthday, Summer, hope it was a lovely day xxx
Weather here a lot milder, thank goodness, i dont take well to the cold these days, must be old age!
Yogi, have you signed up to the birdwatch thingy thats been advertised? We try here to look after the birds, but these bloomin seagulls take everything thats going, so we put some seeds down where only the small birds can get to it. The seagulls are very well fed here , so dont have to worry about them!
Hope you all well 
   

Hi Skylark.

Do you mean the RSPB Birdwatch? I do it every year - hubby laughs at me because I sit at the window, counting birds for an hour - and won't move away for anything.

Skylark, I think this is the Birdwatch thingy you mention. It's being done over the weekend.

In my small garden it's more likely that I would see neighbour's cats rather than birds. Seagulls are very common in this area as well.

 

I don't get cats in my garden - not when Keira is around?!

In the UK there are about 8 million cats and 64 million people. If I tot up the number of cats and people living in the 2 houses to the left of mine and the 2 to the right of mine and include myself there are 7 cats and 7 people. That's 8 times the national average.

 

 A lot of cat lovers in your area, El.

Hi El, yes thats what i meant 
Yes Yogi, i thought you would have. 
Lots of dogs around my area, not a lot of cats, well not outdoors anyway. 

Just being washing sons bed covers, he slept last night on a packet of Rolos  I lecture on about teeth, and sugar, so he snuck a packet in , then fell asleep on them  Not sure why i am smiling, its me who cleaned the mess. Must be a moral in there somewhere.........

 Oops!

Skylark, silly son

 Never left me the last one , well he did  

Lashing rain here now, Kia not liking it, so that was a short walk! 

is it ok to giggle at the rolos?
As a sweet toothed being, I do understand that, but I do know where you're coming from skylark. Tell him I have far too many fillings and it's not worth it

I can't decide whether to watch pride & prejudice or frozen tonight...

El, perfect timing- you're free to concentrate on pancakes in February!

Mr Darcy wins again

 I thought he might.

 

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer. 

Night owl hugs.

Goodnight yogi I hope a lovely weekend is in store for you

Just pooping in to say "hi" 

Byeeeeeeeeee  

Come back soon Moonie

Good morning everyone

 

Sunny here, cold but not as frosty as yesterday morning (which apparently was the coldest start to the day in the south of the year so far),

 

Moin :shiver: I thought it was meant to mild up.

Good morning everyone.

 

After the rain washed away the snow yesterday, there has been another fine dusting of snow overnight.

 

Out and about this morning, then family will be visiting in the afternoon.

 

Have a good day everyone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Not up here, Joe. We've got snow.

Any of you Scottish folk doing something special tomorrow?

 

It would normally be haggis, tatties and neeps for dinner, but I took a notion for it on Wednesday, so we had Burns Night early.
