Hi Summer.
A very good day.
PB was on great form, she even managed to make a little friend in the indoor play area when we went for lunch. He was around four years old and was helping her to climb higher. He even gave her a little kiss.
How was your day?
Aaaaaaaaw sweet little sweethearts 
that's too precious!
Mine's been good thank you, I found myself singing along to some music in the bath earlier! I realised its been a while, and I was really happy about doing it 
it's lovely to feel joyful
Aww, singing is good for the soul.
Not for any soul that may hear me 
poor Bramble lol
what are you doing tomorrow?

You can't be worse than Mr Yogi. He doesn't even sing the right words.
I think I've got a slow puncture so I'm probably buying a new tyre tomorrow - and catching up on housework.
Glad I'm not the only one
oh poop, that's so annoying, I hope you can get it changed easily. I hate it when car things go wrong

Me too. At least it won't be hugely expensive to fix, even if I need a new tyre.
And hopefully the tyre will come with a guarantee 
will mr yogi go with you?
Time for me to get off to bed.
Goodnight and sweet dreams Summer, Moonie, Velvet and Ros.
Yogi I'm going to nod off very soon, so will wish you a very good night and leaving hugs for any other night owls

Just saw this in time. I'm going to the garage that is owned by middle son's friends so I can go on my own (and won't get ripped off), but Mr Yogi might decide to come anyway.
Goodnight again.

night yogi summer moons velvet
Good morning everyone 
Cloudy and no frost here.
Yogi, I'm glad you had a good day with PB and family It's good that you spotted the slow leak before the tyre collapsed
Summer, when I was at the senior school all those years ago I would practice playing the violin at home and our dog would howl in unison.
Ros, steam engines have much more character to them than modern engines. When I was young there was a branch line off the main line which went to the docks area. Part of it went down Severn Road and I would walk down it pretending to be driving a steam engine . The track was removed many years ago.
Good morning everyone.
Another chilly morning.
El, do you still play violin?
Out and about this morning at the bank and shops, then housework to catch up on in the afternoon.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning cloudier and colder here today, but still dry
good luck with the tyre today yogi, hope all goes smoothly.
El, I played recorder 
hehe
Good morning everyone
A llittle sunshine earlier but cloudy. Not poked my head out the door yet but It looks cold out
I am not musical tbh
Yogi, hope you get that tyre sorted and it doesn't cost "an arm and a leg"
Sweet, I hope you and Bramble have a super day
El, whenever I think violin, I think Sherlock Holmes
squiggle, I hope you have a lovely day
Off to see what needs doing now
Good morning everyone, lovely steam train clips EL thanks Sounds like PB made a good friend yesterday, how lovely to hear that PB is so keen to get home to see BB a happy time for you Yogi.
To add my musical instrument I played the piano until my lovely piano teacher moved away, after that it wasn't the same, I adored her. I wonder what caused both you and your brother to decide to give up the violin on the same day EL?
Enjoy your day everyone
This 1962 Beatles record is likely to attract world wide attention when it goes up for auction. It's expected to be ÂĢ10k upwards but it's so rare that you can't predict what it will sell for.

*gets cheque book ready*
A question....
I can never understand this...
You hear on the news either..."there is enough evidence to go to trial but it's not in the public interest to prosecute"
or
"There is enough evidence to go to trial and it is in the public interest to prosecute"
What is "the public interest" pray tell ?
Moonie, "public interest" is a subjective area which public prosecutors need to assess before going ahead with a prosecution. The CPS has guidelines on this which can be read here:
http://www.cps.gov.uk/publicat...cutors/codetest.html
They need to consider the following questions:
How serious is the offence committed?
What is the level of culpability of the suspect?
What are the circumstances of and the harm caused to the victim?
Was the suspect under the age of 18 at the time of the offence?
What is the impact on the community?
Is prosecution a proportionate response?
Do sources of information require protection?
There is commentary on those questions on that link above.
I've just been cutting the grass. Am I the first this year?
There had been some growth with the warmer weather a couple of weeks ago and I could see that a cut was needed. There's been no rain for a few days but rain is forecast to return next week so I thought I'd do it now.
I think you must definitely be the first EL. The lawn guy came this week to do the spring treatment and I said I had noticed the grass was growing and he said it had been growing all through the winter, he's the expert so he must know but it's news to me, I thought grass was dormant in the winter months.
Squiggle, grass goes dormant when it's not getting water going into the roots. So if it's really cold, the ground is too hard, so not much growth. and in a hot summer with little rain, little growth. There's been less really frosty days these last few months other than recently so it's not surprising that the grass has continued to grow even if slowly.
Apparently this list by Time magazine of the 100 most read female writers by students in American colleges originally contained an error:
http://www.cps.gov.uk/publicat...cutors/codetest.html
They've corrected it as they had included Evelyn Waugh (Brideshead Revisited) who, as I'm sure you know, was a man.
Someone has commented on the list satying there's another error - George Eliot at number 10. That's no error - that was the pen name of Mary Ann Evans.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (at number 6) was the daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft (at number 9) in case you wondered.

Though as my father read a lot of books and had over 3000 books in their house it's not that surprising that I knew the above. And you'll remember that my brother worked as a librarian and he would have known this as well.
