I would be what the article calls normal weight (but usually described as healthy weight) .
Moonie, my youngest is a huge penguin fan. He has even adopted one with WWF. PB has adopted one too, but hers is at Edinburgh zoo.
It was nearly 4pm before the delivery arrived!
I'm glad you enjoyed your walk, Summer.
I didn't need to do the bmi thing to know I am overweight.
But I have started a diet so I'm doing something about it.

I won't ask as I can see all is well
Thanks for smuggling the sun back - you don't often see that on border patrol programmes
Evening Velvet.
I'm such an innocent, they never though of searching me for smuggled sun.

Me too or I'm ditching the meteorology course on the Open Uni.
Exactly. It was nice to spend some time just sitting in the garden too, I ate my tea out there. I lit the chiminea and burned lots of paperwork that needed shredding
what at have you been up to this evening velvet?
Yogi I hope you are free to go out & about tomorrow

No deliveries tomorrow, so PB and I will go out and about.
My meds are being delivered on Friday but they now have a system where they text me the day before and give a 2hour delivery window, so I don't have to wait in all day.
That's a much better system how often do they get delivered?
aw a PB day- yay!!!!!!! I wonder what adventures you'll have tomorrow. Have you planned anything?

They deliver six injections at a time, so that covers 12 weeks.
We are going shopping and (if the weather is nice) we'll go to the park. I'll wait and see what else she feels like doing.

Have a good one tomorrow Yogi
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet.
Summer, have you seen there is another Milly book coming out on 19th May on Kindle. It's called The Barn On Half Moon Hill. That's in addition to the new one coming out in June.
Night velvet hope it's an educational review
I did yogi, I happened upon it by chance. I must remember to download it
I bet PB will have you all engaged in something fun tomorrow
I'm about to nod off yogi so am going to have to say goodnight

Me too.
I'm sure we'll have fun.
I'm going to get off for a bath and read for a while. Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer.
Night owl hug for Ros.
night yogi and summer -sorry had probs getting in the forum so missed you in bazzy's thread
Good morning everyone
Fairly cloudy here, the rain seems to have gone away for the time being.
Yogi, I hope you have a good day with PB That's a good idea about your meds
Ros, I had problems in getting on the forum a few days ago. I was able to get on to the Big Brother page but not on the Home page. I use Firefox, there had been an update to that and I decided to Refresh Firefox from Troubleshooting Information in the Firefox menu. That seems to have sorted that out.
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone, very misty here this morning, quite pretty. I refreshed FF too the other day EL as I found it was running slow. That sounds a good idea Yogi but you don't have to inject yourself do you? I hope the district nurse comes and does it. Have a great day with PB and a little cuddle with BB. Does Keira enjoy her walks with PB? Sounds like you are getting off to a cracking start with your new garden Summer. Enjoy your visit to your client EL, it sounds nice and straightforward.
I saw the sweetest sight yesterday evening, a fledgling robin came and perched on the decking, just a little ball of fluff and one of the parents flew down and fed him - so cute!
Enjoy your day everyone.
Good noon I hope you've all had a good morning. It's another cool but sunny day here, I hope your rain clouds have passed by
I've had no service on my phone this morning but it's just come back on

Hi Sweet
Sunny and warm but a lovely breeze or it would be a scorcher
My day has been good fankoo, I hope yours has too
I have just come back from the park. The swans are still nesting. Counted at least three eggs as the swans were nest repairing
There could be more out of sight as the nest is quite deep
What I think are moorhens have hatched their chicks. I could see at least 5 on and around the nest. Like little fluff balls
I will post a video later when I am on my lappy

Summer, I hope that your phone service doesn't go down again, it must have caused you inconvenience.
Nice to have some "easy" clients, isn't it El?

Yes- I wanted to say hello in here
Moonie that sounds fantastic, so much fun at the park! I love this time of year. We've got a nest of blackbirds outside our back door at work
The CBS Action television channel is showing the original Star Trek series. Next Wednesday 18th at 18.00 they are scheduled to show the episode "City on the Edge of Forever" (from 1967).
It's is exceptional drama of the highest quality and is worth watching by anyone who appreciates good television. There's no monsters, no battle scenes, no alien planets - it's set on Earth, just a very human story, and one which you won't forget. You don't need to be a Star Trek fan to appreciate it and you don't need to have ever seen anything of Star Trek.
Excellent intelligent story. The acting is outstanding, and is the best thing that either William Shatner or Joan Collins (guest appearance) has ever done by a long way.
IMDB rating of 9.3 is justified. It's possibly the best US televison drama of the 1960s.
Moonie, Iron Man by Anthony Gormley was donated by the TSB to the city of Birmingham. It's outside what used to be TSB's HQ. Some people thought it should have been moved to Bristol when TSB relocated there but it stayed as it was a gift to Brimingham.
Gormaly said that it represents the traditional skills of Birmingham and the Black Country during the Industrial Revolution. If you read about the history of Birmingham iron was the key factor in Birmingham's growth from being the third largest town in Warwickshire pre-industrial revolution to its increasing importance during the 16th century.
You may have heard or seen of a woman who was sent home for refusing to wear high heels at her temp job as a secretary.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-36278641
Becaiuse of the outcry, the outsourcing agency has changed its policy with immediate effect.
She had been working in one of PwC's offices in London and PwC have said that there was no requirement to wear high heels. I used to work for what is now PwC and that's correct, there was no such requirement.
It did remind me of the time when one of the accounting team came to work wearing culottes. She was wearing them as it was cold weather. My immediate manager was not impressed and ordered her to go home and change into a dress. She refused. The manager came to me to try and get my support for him but I refused to do that. He even went to the partners who again refused to support him. In the end he had to back down as he was being made to look very silly about it.

I must be very old, I remember that episode when it was first shown! 
Great clip Moonie, and the blackbird song a lovely added extra.
