A lovely sunny start to the day
Squiggle, I think you are right about the ants sending out advance party scouts.
I am happy to report there was not a single ant in the hall this morning so I am hopeful that the gel has worked but I shall continue to put it down for a few days, just to be sure.
Have a good day and stay safe, everyone
That’s good news Yogi 
You too 
Still no sign of any ants 
The might be lulling me into a false sense of security.
El, I love Houseboat with Cary Grant and Sophia Loren. I’m going to be singing, “Presto, presto. Do your very besto” for the rest of the day 
I've been working on some quite complex client work - accounting rather than tax. That client rang with a question on the format of the accounts. Can't go into details. Accounts have been done in the same format for a very long time - I don't know how long but a hundred years is quite possible (an entity, not a person). to change the format would be a minefield. Just imagine trying to revise the accounts for the last 100 years.
I did find some official guidance on the issue. The accounts done over the years folllow the default position so hopefully that will satisfy the client
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros, Moonie and Velvet
Night owl hug for Summer

Good morning everyone it's a nice bright morning. It was dull rainy and chilly again yesterday, hoping for some sunshine today.
I reckon you're winning in Yogi versus Ninja Ants Yogi. My money's on you.
Enjoy your day everyone 
Good morning everyone
It’s another sunny morning. 🌞
Squiggle, thanks for the vote of confidence Still no sign of any ants but I’m keeping the gel down for now.
Have a good day and stay safe, all
There are three North Poles.
There's the geographic Noth Pole, the bext known one.
There's the geomagnetic North Pole which is up in the stratosphere and is where the Earth's magnetic fields meet,
There's the magnetic North Pole which marks the northenmost point of the Earth's magnetic fields. That's the one which compasses use to point to the north. It's also used for all navigation devices including modern smartphones.
It's moving. Used to be near the geographic North Pole. It's moving towards Siberia.
Navigation devices do get adjusted for this. Clearly, that's not possible for the traditional compass. So if you use one to walk straight north and keep on going you'll land up in Siberia

If you were at the magnetic North Pole, the compass needle would just point anywhere,

Hope all are well. Glorious here too Yogi and El - hope it breaks out down there squiggs Let's see what today brings....in more ways than one, there's always something.
Have a good day all
I'll say nope.
My guesses would be too wild. But was that a Roman Emperor?
Velvet, I'm assuming that as it's a Greek style yogurt, the advert is supposed to represent the original Olympics.
If that's supposed to be Mount Olympia I doubt if it is so that could be another error but wasn't one of my five.
Two of my errors relate to that king/emperor. You could be right in him being Roman rather then Greek but that wasn't in my 5 errors.
I suspect there are lots of errors, it was just 5 that I spotted.

I wouldn't want to go near what he believes in but he does seem to have incredible inner strength and is very polite and personable.
Who knows what the mask hides or the gagging orders are?

Neither would I. Much the same as John Travolta for the same reason.

Hug for any night owls

Enjoy your day everyone

Hope all are sound. The starlings certainly rise early - they've got a nest above my bedroom eaves. PVC - live and let live. Iridescent like maggies. The maggie can't get in no matter how he/she tries. Too small an opening. Nature eh?
Pretty dull atm. We need light
Have a good one and a safe one
Good morning gorgeous people and happy Super Full Moon day it should be visable tonight so we can enjoy the scenery 
how are you all?
I’ve been busy planting vegetable seeds, which were gifts at Xmas, cooking and painting my utility room! It now looks fresh and fabulous again
El, thank you for the HMRC Info, that’s really helpful I know I have a government gateway ID but I’m not sure I remember it. I think my phone has it automatically saved for me though
Good morning everyone
Forecast to be sunny and quite warm here today. Temperature forecast to plunge during the weekend - Saturday high 23° Sunday 12°
Summer, thanks The Government Gateway login has links to use if you can't find your ID and/or password
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone
Sunny start to the day here. We may get showers later though 
First lot of washing on the line. Second lot in the washer
Sweet, I hope you and Miss Bramble are okay 🐾🐾
Velvet, good morning to you and your feathered family
Squiggle, I hope you get sunshine
Yogi, I hope you had a good nights sleep
Have a great day everyone and stay safe
The parent companies of Virgin Media (Liberty Global, a US company) and O2 (Telefonica, a Spanish company) have announced that they have agreed to merge the two. Virgin Media retains the broadband and television, O2 gets the mobile and landline phones apparently. Not sure about which gets the landline section though as splitting that from broadband doesn't make sense.

Good morning everyone
Another dry and bright morning.🌞
I’m glad you got some sunshine yesterday, Squiggle
That would have been a noisy wake up call, Velvet I’m glad the magpie can’t get into the starling’s nest.
Summer, well done on your painting and planting, it’s good to keep occupied
Enjoy your sunshine, El. Do you sit out in the garden?
I’m not allowed to sit in the sun but we have a table and chairs with a huge parasol so I can sit in the shade.
Moonie, I hope you have some sun today and can get your washing on the line.
Final 🐜 update (unless they reappear): no sign of the little beasties.
Have a good day and stay safe, everyone
Edit: you posted while I was typing, Moonie - good to hear your washing is already on the line
