Good morning everyone.
Dry and grey ATM, with heavy rain forecast for tonight.
Due to a shortage caused by bad weather, some supermarkets are limiting the number of vegetable and salad items customers can buy. Have any of you noticed shortages in your supermarkets?
Have a good day everyone.
Moin! It was noisy during the night but now calm. We expect a sunny day, ideal for bike riding. Not so good for cleaning the house from top to bottom.
Yogi, I think there will be shortages or restrictions on many vegetables & salad items for some time to come. It's because of so many would be imported from Spain where the main growing region has had the heaviest rain in the last 30 years causing crop shortages. They say the shortages could last for a couple of months.
A fascinating BBC video clip of photographs of local customs around the country, best seen full screen,

And the local one here of cheese rolling down Coopers Hiill on May Day does have a photo.
If you don't know what gurning is, it's pulling a face, the Crabapple Fair at Egremont in Cumbria photo is the one with that. And freehold-dunting at Newbiggin-by-the-Sea in Northumberland looks excruciatingly painful 
Good morning everyone, wet and windy here too, our highest gust is about noon and is estimated to be 45mph.
I love those quirky traditions, there must he hundreds and hundreds more too. Locally to us there is the Earl of Rone, in Padstow there is 'Obby 'Oss and of course Widdecombe Fair and Tar Barrelling in Ottery St Mary.
Enjoy your day everyone
The Met Office have amended their wind warning and my area just misses it. It's still going to be throroughly wet and windy. I've just returned from doing a bit of local shopping and have just missed the start of the rain (very light at present but gets heavier over the next hour or so).
Good afternoon sunny, bright and mild here, I've just been for a lovely lunch break walk! The blue sky is a sight for sore eyes
lettuces are in short supply here, and the few that are available are half the size, and treble the cost. My favourite veg- courgettes, are also no longer available
El Loro posted:I feel sorry for courgettes as they aren't allowed to grow up before they are harvested
Nooooo! 
They're great in a curry though!
Evening all a blissful, relaxing evening here 
I hope all of you are experiencing the same
I'm going to nod off, sweet dreams yogi, velvet & Ros
Sorry, I've just missed you Summer.
CBB is over and, yet again, I didn't get the winner I wanted
It might be time for me to give up watching reality shows.
Goodnight and sweet dreams Summer, Ros and Velvet.
awful result
night yogi summer velvet
Good morning everyone, and what a beautiful morning it is, like a spring day
Enjoy your day everyone, whatever you are up to
El Loro posted:Good morning everyone
Dry, fairly cloudy and cooler here.
I agree with you about the result, not that I saw any of it, don't know who was in it or who won - I knew it would be awful
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone.
Heavy rain overnight and grey skies ATM.
Middle son might pop in for a visit this afternoon. Otherwise, we have no plans.
Have a good day everyone.
Lovely sunny morning. We were out quite early.
I mentioned Milton Keynes being 50 years old nearly 2 weeks ago. As part of their 50th anniversary celebrations they've made Milton Keynes into a game.

It's a good idea to get people more active going around town. I wonder if other places will run the same sort of thing. It's a bit like a cross between Summer's Snow Dogs and Pokemon Go.
I thought MK was a game already! See how long it takes to escape using less than 40 roundabouts.
We made the mistake of going to see t'Cult and G n' r way back when!
Meanwhile we are amongst the screaming kids at Darlo's best soft play area!

evening all, I hope you all had a good day
I've had a busy day, and just got home from a night out. Every now and again I do it and remind myself of why I don't like going out on the town lol
Good morning everyone
Cloudy, misty and not very warm here. Forecast to turn colder during the next week for some time - real winter could be coming 
Summer, I hope you can recuperate today 
Song I've heard snippets from a couple of times recently. It's from 1969, written by Donovan (Leitch) for Mary Hopkin. It's one of those rare songs which there's nothing else quite like it.
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning all
Weather is grey and damp.
Summer, I'm also more of a night in than a night out person.
El, Mary Hopkin has a lovely voice (Those are the days my friend) but I'm not overly keen on that song.
Going out with my future DiL today.
Have a good Sunday everyone.
Good morning everyone, it's grey here too but dry. That song is very Donovan isn't it, but Mary Hopkins has a lovely clear voice.
I hope you can have a lovely relaxing day Summer, I'm another one who would prefer a night in than a night out person.
Enjoy your day everyone
I've worked out that I heard a snippet from Voyage of the Moon on Radio 6 on 6 September last year. It wasn't so much that I liked it but that it was unusual and as you say Mary Hopkin's voice is very clear. It was just before I went to bed and I'd forgotten about it. Then last night I happened to see the start of a film called The Falling on BBC 2. It wasn't a film I was going to watch but the same song was sung right at the beginning of the film. It was easy to find what the song was through IMDB.
Yogi, I hope you are having a nice time out with your future DIL
Squiggle, the sky is getting a bit brighter here now after a very grey morning 
I don't watch The Jump but I wonder just how many of the contestants have to be injured before the series is cancelled (last series there were 7). Already one of them has had to withdraw and be replaced due to an injury in traning. And Bradley Wiggins has been injured though is continuing.
Good afternoon I hope you're all having a lovely Sunday
yogi I hope you have a lovely day out with FDIL
ive been out for a lovely walk and am now relaxing with a Harry Potter movie
EL, I'm looking forward to the Jump tonight, I did notice that a lot of olympians have signed up for this series
El Loro posted:Summer, I'm glad you had a lovely walk and hope you enjoy your film Harry Potter and the Penguin of Doom
That's the one where a gigantic penguin has taken over Hogwarts and is trying to turn everyone into little penguins
I'm sure hagrid can take care of the penguins until hermione figures how how to fix the problem
Evening all
I had a really nice time with my FDiL.
It's starting to get frosty here. Brr!
Evening yogi I'm glad you've had a lovely day out did you have lunch out?
~Sweet Valentine~ posted:Evening yogi
No lunch today. Maybe next time.
Have you had a good day?

Evening Velvet.
Nothing wrong with a wee catnap.

I genuinely think if I had my flask filled I could sleep for 24 hours with the radio on the background.
It's no easy this slacker game
You'll need to keep practicing.
Ooh hello velvet how do?
sorry, I'm distracted by the jump!
It went by fast! I enjoyed that poor josie though, she chickened out bless her
~Sweet Valentine~ posted:It went by fast! I enjoyed that
I'm not a fan of Josie so I'm glad she's out.
velvet donkey posted:How's your son's arm Yogi? How long does he have with the cast?
They x-rayed it through the cast last week and say it's knitting well. He'll have to keep the cast on for another fortnight at least.
