Good morning everyone, quite a few clouds this morning but I don't think we're going to get any rain.
Enjoy your day everyone
Our church has two new members of the congregation. They keep to themselves as they are a bit nervous and don't really fit in with the rest of the congregation. They are rather chatty during the services and wander around the church.
A couple of sparrows have taken up residence 
Psalm 84 verse 3:
"Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God."
Good morning all
It’s overcast but no rain for now.
El, I could think of a couple of Scots I’d like to put in a rocket, on a one-way trip 
Aww, your church visitors sound very cute.
My dad is in hospital after falling downstairs and breaking his ankle. He is waiting to go to theatre to get a plate put in. 
Have a good day, everyone 
Good morning 👋 slightly cooler and very overcast here, which is lovely 
did you all slept well? I’m already looking forward to going back to bed lol
Yogi, falling down stairs is too easy to do 
It's important that your dad follows the doctors advice re resting and walking even if it's not convenient. And he's not going to be able to drive for 6 to 8 weeks. I hope the operation goes smoothly and his recovery goes well
Summer, nighty night then
Yogi & I must have been posting at the sane time, I didn’t see hers.. that’s awful, your poor dad!!! What a fright. I hope he gets the op ASAP, and that he’s soon recovering
Evening all
Dad has had his op, a plate has been put in and he has a plaster cast on. He has broken a bone above his heel and torn tendons too. He’s going to be out of action for 6 weeks. They are going to let him home as soon as he is mobile with a zimmer - Dad thought that meant tomorrow but it’s looking more like Wednesday or Thursday at the earliest.
Aw your poor dad! I’m glad he’s had the op, I hope he has a speedy recovery 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
How are you yogi? It’s quite a fright
Yogi I’m off to bed for an early night, sweet dreams
leaving night hugs for everyone else

Goodnight and sweet dreams.

Good morning everyone, my goodness Yogi I hope your Dad has got over the shock of that fall, I know it will have shaken him up. Poor Baz too. I'm glad your Dad is on the road to recovery and I know he will be glad when he is allowed home.
Enjoy your day everyone
How to make bread:
Make flour from wild barley and wheat
Pound the roots of plants such as sedges, clubrushes or bulrushes) into a pulp
Mix together with water to make a dough or batter
Then bake on hot stones around a fire.
That's the oldest recipe for making bread (found in Jordan) and is about 14,000 years old.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/sci...environment-44846874
Looks like a flatbread and tastes rather like modern multi-grain bread.
Good morning we had a thunderstorm last night, which I loved! today is cloudy but still warm
welcome back Tuco
yogi, how’s your dad this morning?
BBC have put all episodes of Doctor Who (from Christoper Eccleston onwards) on iplayer for 4 months for people to watch for no cost.
If I were to select one episode it would be 'Blink'.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/...ho-series-3-10-blink
It's a standalone episode and the doctor and companion are hardly in it so no knowledge of them is needed. Intelligent, literate and satsifying script with Carey Mulligan as Sally Sparrow outstanding. And the weeping angels are scary and original. It's as if H G Wells and M R James got together to write it.
IMDB rate this as the 10th best television episode of any type of series.
So Blink on IMDB gets a rating of 9.8. Other well known British TV series episodes such as the Goodbyeeeeee final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth (famous for turning from comedy to pathos) 9.4, Fawlty Towers - the Germans episode (don't mention the war) also 9.4, and the episode of The Two Ronnies with the four candles sketch 8.8. Highest rated episode of Inspector Morse 8.6, of Foyle's War 9.1 and of the Poirot series 8.7.
I'm not saying Blink is better than those but it's high quality.
Afternoon all
Dad is doing well thanks everyone, but he might be in a few more days. It depends how quickly they assess him as stable on his feet with the aid of a zimmer.
Family and friends are rallying round with visiting and checking up on my mum and brother.
That’s good news yogi, I’m pleased all is going well i hope they don’t keep him waiting too long for an assessment
el, that’s an interesting list I loved that episode of the two Ronnie’S
Summer, in our church there are two candles which go on the altar and are lit for services. Besides the altar on the left and on the right there's a free standing candle. The free standing candles are only lit at certain times of the year such as Easter,
So the people who light the candles before the service would normally light two but sometimes four.
No-one has ever put up fork handles in church in place of the candles but it's certainly gone through people's minds
I loved the Two Ronnie’s “four candles/fork handles” sketch.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, everyone. Hugs for any night owls.

Fairly cloudy here, warm and no rain expected.
So we are in the Meghalayan Age, which is part of the Holocene Epoch:

Good morning sunny here, it’s set to be another scorcher. I know it’s hot but I must say that I’m loving this summer! It’s fantastic to actually have a proper summer
how are we all today?
Any news from the hospital?
I’m having a “pj day” today, it’s long over due. I’m going to do some yoga, meditation, paint my toe nails, face mask and deep condition my hair 😍

I had wondered that myself when I first saw the word
Just seen your post, Squiggle, we were posting at the same time. Not expecting much, if any, rain here either. There's a 40% chance of a bit on Friday evening according to the Met Office. There's a weather warning for thunderstorms Friday afternoon and evenng but that's over to the east and south east,
Summer, I hope you've recovered from your pogo mishap
