No sleepover tonight, although PB wanted to. She was so poorly though, I knew by bedtime, she'd have been asking for her mum.
hugs for both - hope they are better soon yogi

Night owl hugs for Ros
night yogi and summer moons nice to see you around again
I hope everyone is better soon. I've also been following Toots and his continuing health issues. Hopefully he'll get some good news this week.
Early start for me in the morning. I'm off to do a few more jobs for my Mum.
Good morning 
I'm going to pick up my colleagues daughter who's off school, we can blow our noses and watch movies together while her mum works...
I hope you all have a good day
Good morning everyone, it has been a lovely sunny morning but the clouds are moving in now, I think the forecast is dry though.
I hope everyone's colds clear up quickly and you all start feeling better soon, there's certainly a lot of bugs around at the moment.
Enjoy your day everyone
If you have heard about a car being hit by a London to Gloucester train yesterday afternoon (the driver had no chance) it was on a level crossing not on a public road. It's on a path which goes from a public road to farm buildings, There was a similar accident there in 2014.
The railway line between Gloucester and Stroud remains closed.
Afternoon all.
Thanks for your good wishes everyone. BB's nose is running but otherwise he isn't too bad. PB was sick (catarrh) last night but she slept well and felt well enough to go to nursery. I have a feeling she might wilt again in the afternoon.
Summer, I hope you and your friend's daughter have a good day, despite your cold.
Joe, is Toots in hospital again? He has had a tough time.
El, I hate level crossings!
One night on a holiday in England, Mr Y and I were in the car with the boys and stopped at a level crossing (which had flashing lights but no barriers) as the lights were flashing to warn of an oncoming train. In his rear view mirror, Mr Y spotted a van careering towards us and managed to swing our car into the verge, otherwise the van would have hit us and pushed us onto the crossing. The van went straight through the level crossing, despite the hazard warning lights flashing, and the train missed it by seconds.

There's over 500 people there.

El Loro posted:Yogi, that's shocking of that van
It was a very scary moment, El.
that's shocking yogi! The van driver was reckless. I wonder why there were no barriers. I'm very glad you didn't get hit
I ended up going in to work today! My colleague had fallen down the stairs before work and somehow convinced herself she would be ok to still come in. I took her & her daughter home and worked the rest of the day myself, I suspect she's cracked a rib but so far she refuses to see a doctor 
my cold is much better, but my other colleague has it something awful. It's not keeping our spirits down though 
I hope you're all in better shape and have enjoyed your day
Such is life velvet, such is life..
how are you tonight?
I thought you were going to say a Thai curry! I got myself all excited lol
glad you're ticking along, good man 
so what are you up to tomorrow?
Sounds good to me, that's my kinda day how is the fur baby?
Any chance it's the cold making her stiff? I'm glad she shakes it off bless her, is she playful?
She's very gifted, you should be proud of how far she's come it makes me sick when animals are treated badly
night summer and velvet hug for yogi and everybody
Moin! I think we need to get out early before the really bad weather and I have a few other things to do. Yes! To cut a long story short Toots has been in and out of hospital again. He's waiting for a high dependency bed. I believe they have had a drain in him and are wanting to remove his gall bladder.
I hope you all avoid the Daily Express icy blast. Probably genuine this time!
Morning all. Apologies, I was sure I had posted a goodnight post last night. I must have forgotten to hit 'post reply'.
Weather is frosty up here.
El, you could be right about that driver - or he was just a risk taking idiot!
Joe, I hope Toots feels better once his gall bladder is removed and recovers well from the op. He's certainly had a tough time.
Summer, I hope your colleague isn't in too much pain after her fall.
Velvet, I'm glad Dolly is able to shake off the limp, it does sound like she has a touch of arthritis. Keira also has some stiffness in her back legs when she has been lying down for a while and the vet has said it's a touch of arthritis in her hips.
Squiggle, are your pheasants still visiting?
Have a good day everyone.
Re the fatal accident at a level crossing on the railway line. The path from the public road ove the line to farm buildings is closed to the public by a locked gate. Agricultural workers needing access are provided with a key. There's a telephone at the date that they should use to ckeck that it's safe. The local council say that there was only one keyholder.
Good morning everyone, bright but cold here. How very odd about that gate and the access to the level crossing, sounds like they shouldn't have been on that road. Level crossings can be scary places and especially when they have no gates.
Your poor colleague Summer, I know broken ribs are very painful and the docs can do nothing except give painkillers.
Yes Yogi all 4 were here yesterday and the male pheasant has taken to strolling past the window, peering down the valley and then taking off and swooping down, fascinating to see him fly, only little wings which he flaps furiously to start with and then spreads stiffly to glide. They have also taken to dust baths where there is some earth at the base of one of the big trees.
Enjoy your day everyone
Commuting in a Chinese village has become a little easier now - thanks to a steel ladder

That's incredible! They must be so fit. Surely a lift of some kind will one day be constructed? Encouraging tourism is a good idea
good afternoon all sleet & snow here today, it's very damp and cold. Everyone seems to be in good spirits though 
Summer, they could install a lift some time but that could detract from the nature of the village and result in putting off potential tourists.
It's just grey and cold here. Not expected to get snow here today, if there's any it's more likely to be on Saturday in my area.
Academics have come up with what they call the first historically accurate portrait of Mr Darcy. Fans of Colin Firth are not impressed.

I saw that in the paper, all I could think was 'that's not MY Mr Darcy' 
It's been a beautiful day, really like a Spring day, I had the window open all day long and it was refreshingly cool not cold, such a blessing in February.
There used to be a railway line between Stonehouse and Nailworth in Gloucestershire. It was completed 150 years ago in 1867. The line went through the village of Dudbridge. The line disappeared many years ago and most of it is now a cycle path.
Chris West from Stroud decided to celebrate the 150th anniversary by making his own train with the engine being made from a mobility scooter. And went with his children and some of their friends on the path between Dudbridge and Nailsworth, some 3 miles.http://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/all-aboard-for-the-electric-express-on-150th-anniversary/story-30124016-detail/story.htmlThere's a clip at the start of the article but there's no option to embed it here.

I agree with Squiggle. That is NOT my Mr Darcy!

The sis has pheasants and I think they're a wee bit territorial. They were pecking at her patio doors last summer

I wouldn't mind some pheasants visiting my garden

Me neither Yogi
Hope PB and BB are getting over it and your son's stookie isn't itching too bad
The kids aren't doing too bad but they've passed it on to me.
My son's coping well with the stookie. He's very determined so it's not stopping him from doing very much.

This virus just doesn't know when to stop. I had a flu jab an all. Hope it's only a two day wonder
Nursery seems to be a breeding ground for these cold bugs. PB brings it home and passes it round the family.
Evening night owls I hope you're all cosy & warm.
Yogi I hope you soon feel better
well, I'm all for a silver fox but I agree with the girls- our Mr Darcy is indeed Colin Firth
