One look from those big blue eyes and I melt. He's such a sweetie.
Yogi, talking of blue eyes you might want to make a note of a 1954 film called Suddenly to be shown on the Talking Pictures channel on Saturday 22nd at 18.00.
It's been very rarely shown on television and is a dark thriller with the lead played by old blue eyes Frank Sinatra in a very different type of role from anything else he was in.

My Virgin planner doesn't go that far ahead but I've noted a reminder on my message pad on my bedside table and will set the TiVo to record it as soon as I can.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros and Velvet

Good morning everyone 
It has rained overnight and is dull and cloudy atm
I like the Mini Cheddars ad, El.
Grocery shopping and a trip to the Post Office this morning.
Have a good day, all
Good morning everyone, a lovely cool morning, quite a bit of white cloud but it promises to be another lovely day.
I have been reminiscing about some lovely holidays we've had so I'll ask a question, what were the best holidays you remember?
Enjoy your day everyone
Squiggle, the holidays we had with our parents when we were young and would go rambling in the countryside around Stroud and Painswick area. And the day we were in a field somewhere to the south of Gloucester where we sat down for some refreshments - I picked a clover as one does and realised it was a four leaf clover. I took it home to keep and I've still got it.

Good afternoon Buddies
Been busy the last week or so. Personal stuff 
I hope you are all in good health 
The last two days have been scorchers here 
We are promised thunderstorms and heavy rain. Still waiting for the ones they promised us at the end of the last hot spell 
Have a great day and stay well hydrated everyone

Hi Squiggle.
I loved family holidays when my late brother and I were young. We didn't go abroad, we holidayed in Scotland. Country walks, visits to castle, beaches and picnics. Happy days.
I also loved a couple of big family holidays we took in Lanzarote. Hubby, three boys, my parents and youngest brother, in a huge villa with pool. The second villa looked out over the sea, so had stunning views.
I also got to go in a pool with dolphins on a trip to Dominican Republic, which was amazing. Those beautiful creatures seem to look into your soul.
TBH, I'd prefer to see them swimming in the ocean, where they belong.
El, I saw that clip of the two sisters on the news. Lovely story.
Moonie, I hope your personal stuff is all sorted.
It's muggy here today.
Keira and I have been for a walk and I intended cutting the front grass on our return but, I'm hot so I might postpone it.
Moonie, I think many areas won't get the thunderstorms - there's the same weather warning here and there's no sign of any. I hope there's been some progress with your house issues
Yogi, it's believed that dolphins are the most intelligent being after humans. They are beautiful I'm not surprised about postponing cutting the grass in this heat
May be of interest to Squiggle. BBC West have made a 4 minute clip of a tour around the West Country showing 34 locations. Can you spot where. It's not made easy as it's been speeded up. Link in in short form in order to be able to get to the clip rather than the main BBC West live page.

I managed to cut the front lawn before the rain started. Hopefully, the rain will clear the air.
El, I love dolphins.

I got a call from a man with an extremely strong Pakistani accent, who tried to tell me his name was Peter Wilson and he wanted me to claim for an accident I'd had.

Yogi...Yogi...send some rain down here perleeeeeeze
I adores dolphins almost as much as swans and cygnets
*sends some rain to Moonie*
I know a little girl who might also prefer swans and cygnets to dolphins
*night owls* evening all, I've really enjoyed catching up on the thread, especially the holiday stories 
i loved Italy, its so beautiful, clean, relaxing... great food, friendly people. I would go back anytime
i hope you've all had a good couple of days
I hope you've had a good day, Summer
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer, Ros and Velvet.

Sunny here at present but forecast to cloud over.
Summer, I hope you've had a nice time with your mum
Yogi, I wonder who that little girl might be
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning El. Good morning everyone.
The weather is cool and cloudy this morning.
I am hoping it stays dry so I can potter about in the garden today. The hanging baskets need dead heading and I need to do a little weeding in the raised bed.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone, a cloudy morning with a little bit of humidity which makes it feel a trifle uncomfortable.
I agree about Italy Summer, a beautiful country. I've just finished a Nicky Pellegrino book which always makes me feel as if I'm on holiday in Italy.
Enjoy your day everyone
El Loro posted:Yogi, I hope you are able to do the gardening you want to today
The weather is showery and chilly so I've postponed the gardening until tomorrow, as the forecast is much better for Saturday.
I've been to the garden centre and didn't purchase a single plant.
I did buy two mugs, a 1000 piece jigsaw and a small notepad and pen. Did I ever mention I have a thing for mugs and notepads?
I've never been to Italy but I'd like to go.

He's smiling - that's a huge difference.
I've seen him interviewed a few times recently and he appears more relaxed.

I like little staffies.
They used to be known as the nanny dog because they were so good with children. Then thugs started buying them and taught them to go against their nature and be aggressive.
El Loro posted:Yogi, so you like mugs and notepads, I have quite a few mugs myself
It's sad what some people have done withe their staffies
That makes me feel better
It's awful, El.
Good evening I hope you've all had a lovely day I took the day off and had some lovely quality time with my mum we've walked, cooked, watched a movie and chatted lots.
Squiggle, I love books that make us feel like we're on holiday Erica James is good at that too

Sounds like a really lovely day with your mum, Summer.
I like Erica James' books too.
