Sweet dreams all 
I hope you’ve all had a lovely day
we’ve been out walking, ate a beef stew and caught up on Howard’s End. I wasn’t expecting that ending 
squiggle posted:Good morning everyone, blue sky and stately clouds, moving quite fast, although it's cold and still breezy it looks quite a nice morning. It makes such a pleasant change for it not to be raining. We have 2 littlies staying over at the moment, and to hear our little boy last night calling 'Granma' "yes sweetheart?" 'I love you' well I think that is just the sweetest thing
Enjoy your day everyone
aww gorgeous squiggle
Good morning all
Very frosty up here

Sorry Velvet, I didn’t think you were still around last night. Have a belated goodnight hug
Have a good day, everyone.
Good morning, a beautiful blue sky and deep frost here ☀️❄️ If only I could be out walking today!
El I hope that grey sky doesn’t dampen your spirits today, we’ll be your sunshine 
Good morning everyone, a cloudy and cold morning but still dry. I wish you could be out walking and enjoying the lovely morning too Summer.
Enjoy your day everyone
Thanks Summer
Here's a rather unusual sight, a military helicopter being carried by another one:

Papers for a VAT return for a client received today, more info on that really complex tax return received today, client coming to see me first thing tomorrow with their papers, a fourth client rang and will bring in their papers next Wednesday, and I'm waiting to hear back from another couple of clients where I left a message first thing so say I'd done their tax returns.
And the day is just mid-way

I’m minding from tomorrow morning until late Wednesday night, El.
I’m going to be shattered.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet and Ros
Night owl hug for Summer
night yogi and velvetsummer if you pop in
Sweet dreams you guys it’s my mums last night here so we’ve been out for dinner. Bramble will sulk once she’s gone, i’ll miss her too
yogi i hope you have lots of giggles with the tiddlers, see you after
El, that romantic story was lovely 
Good morning everyone
Another very cloudy day here. Still cold but not as cold as yesterday which would chill someone to the bone within seconds.
Yogi, I thought it might have been tiddler minding and I hope you have a good time with them
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone, very overcast and bleak, it's still cold but no frost. Have a great time with the little ones Yogi.
Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning 👋 grey, damp and gloomy here
I hope you all slept well and are keeping chirpy during these January blues
My mum is on her way home, it’s been a lovely visit and her longest one yet. The house will seem quiet without her tonight
Moonie I hope you’re cosy & warm at home now
The new Captain Birdseye:

But can an Italian do the typical seafaring accent one associates with Captain Birdseye?
"pancakes and fritters,
go the bells of St Peter's"
Apparently that's the 6th verse of an earlier version of the nursery rhyme.

With the FA announcing today that it's adopting the "Rooney Rule" to be applied to Englsih football clubs, that name comes from Dan Rooney from the NFL in the States, it's nothing to do with Wayne.

Hi Sweet
I hope your mum arrives home safely
It will be quite but I’m sure Miss Bramble will keep you amused 
Yes, all tucked up and warm fankoo

Evening all
An unexpected visit as PB and BB were both in bed (and fast asleep) early tonight.
I’ve read back and see you are all fine.
Glad you have such a lovely visit from your mum, Summer
Off to the CBB thread, so long as neither of the tiddlers wake up.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet, Ros and Summer
aww glad PB and BB were asleep-so cute
night yogi velvetsummer if you pop in
Good morning everyone, it's a simply beautiful morning here and supposed to be sunny today, very welcome. I hope the tiddlers slept well Yogi and you too
Enjoy your day everyone
Good afternoon 👋 cloudy & damp here with the sun wanting to break through. I’ve had a huuuuuuuge lay in!
i hope you all slept well too and are warm & cosy 🤗 I’ve got new walking boots to break in, so Bramble and I are meeting a friend for a local walk. Then I have a surprise baby shower to attend later tonight (not my own!!! Lol)
Good morning everyone.
It’s foggy, for the second day in a row.
I had a good time with the children but it was tiring - they have endless energy! I’ve slept for seven hours but still feel sleepy.
I haven’t read back yet so, hope you are all fine
Have a good day, everyone

We need to send Will on holiday
