Italian court rules that stealing a very small amount of food "in the face of the immediate and essential need for nourishment" is not a crime - the man was homeless.

Good morning everyone 
A sunny day here and a bit warmer than yesterday.
A new app for storing old family photos has been launched:

I hope everyone has a good day 
Good morning everyone, a bright morning and warmer too like your weather EL. We don't have any rain in the forecast until next Monday which will suit me fine.
Enjoy your day everyone

It's worth playing the clip where Alice Zawadzki sings with a nightingale. It's quiet and you may need to turn the volume up.
Jenny Lind was not available as she died in 1887. She was a famous opera singer known as the Swedish Nightingale.
It's quite likely that you won't have ever heard Samuel Barber's complete string quartet opus 11.
It has 3 movements, the first is about 9 minutes long, the second 7 minutes, and the third 3 minutes.
Although you won't have heard the first or third movements, you almost certainly have heard the second movement either as a string orchestra version or as a choral version (Agnus Dei) which Barber wrote some 30 years later. Both the string orchestra version and the choral version are strong contenders for the greatest piece of classical music of the 20th century.
I just called.. To say.. I love youuuu.... 
hola! Hope you're all well. It's my last night in Ibiza, it's been wonderful 
Flying visit.
Like Summer, we are also flying home tomorrow. Ours is an evening flight so we don't actually get back home until the early hours of Friday.
We've had a lovely holiday but I am ready to get home.
Normal service will be resumed on Friday. See you all then.

Good morning everyone, a nice bright morning and it looks like our holidaymakers will be bringing the sunshine with them when they fly home 
Enjoy your day everyone
El Loro posted:Just been to do my voting bit. Looks as if it could be a low turn out as there were not many people at the polling station - just myself and the polling staff.
I shall be heading to vote myself too El 
There never seems to be many people there when I vote either but then I guess it depends on the time of day, the weather and so on
No excuses weather wise here 
The back garden is shipshape now bar the odd few weeds. It's the front gardens turn today. The trouble is the sun is on the front until mid afternoon so it will have to wait until then
It won't be too arduous though as most of it is done bar the lawn edging and the debris removal afterwards

From my local news website today.
Down Hatherley Cricket Club have sent a bizarre property enquiry for a property purchase... they are looking for a Death Star in Longlevens in Gloucester.
The cricket club replied to a tweet from Gloucester based company, The Property Centre asking if they could purchase the super weapon.
It would appear the the classic film franchise was on the brain as people across Gloucester celebrate Star Wars Day.
Forest Green won their first match of the play offs beating Dover away last evening. The return game at home is on Saturday. Although Forest Green will be expected that one to progress to the final, they are likely to have a harder match against the winners of the Braintree/Grimsby matches. I think it could be Braintree as they have hit form at the just the right time.

Good morning everyone
Late start for me here as I had to deal with an urgent client matter first thing.
Hazy sunshine here and expected to be a bit warmer than yesterday. The weekend is forecast to be the warmest of the year so far but rain and thunderstorms are expected so not great weather.
Summer, I'm glad you are home after a safe journey Bramble will be delighted to see you again
Good morning everyone.
Weather is dry and bright.
I had a lovely holiday but it's good to be home.
Off to visit my mum and dad today, and then grocery shopping.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning everyone and welcome back to our returnees. I hope you both feel refreshed and relaxed I hope your mum and dad are well Yogi. It must have been really lovely to sink into your own bed Summer with lovely fresh sheets, I would love to be there when Bramble sees you today. I just hope she doesn't sulk like our Ben used to, he wouldn't 'speak' to us for a few hours although he had had a lovely time while we were away.
I hope you managed to get your urgent client business sorted out EL. Disappointing if after looking forward to higher temperatures all we get is thunderstorms and cloud 
Enjoy your day everyone
