Aye they can move if they like 

There was only one in the end, heaven knows what time he came home but the youngest grandson had drunk too much round his friend's house, was sick and refusing to clean it up until the morning so very sensibly eldest grandson came back by himself, they had words but luckily made it up this morning over the phone.  Teenagers!

Love can move mountains - and even move sons from their beds.

It could have been worse, Squiggle - he could have been sick in your house.

At least the boys made up in the morning.

Teenagers indeed ! 

I thought that and I would not have been smiling They are wonderfully close brothers.

Going off to watch Pride of Britain Awards.
Goodnight everyone  

That's nice to hear, Squiggle.

Well I'm off to read, I'm really enjoying the book its by a lady who was on Come Dine With Me last year.  I bought it to see what she's like as an author and she's really good.  Her name is Milly Johnson and the book is called 'A Summer Fling' I shall be sorry to finish it.

 

Night night everyone, sleep well, hugs for all the night owls.

I enjoyed the last book you recommended so much, that I've gone and ordered this one, too.

Enjoy your book, goodnight Squiggle.

night squiggle and skylark

hi yogi - see you in the BB fred I hope

Hi Ros, and yes you will.

sorry - realy tired - been  a hard week

night yogi

Good morning everyone

 

Colder this morning than recently, but after the night's rain, it's now nice and sunny.

 

A week or so I saw this British Airways advert and thought it was one of the classier adverts of recent times and had a cinematic feel to it.

 

 

But then yesterday I saw this Air France advert. Probably far less expensive than the British Airways one, very simple, but in my view one of the most beautiful adverts ever made. It was choreographed by Angelin Preljocaj and starring the dancers Benjamin Millepied and Virginie Caussin, the commercial was shot in the Moroccan desert, on a 400 square meter mirror floor, in a single sequence plan and with no special effects.

 

Ooh I hope you like it Yogi  I still haven't finished it I am relishing it

 

Good morning everyone, very blowy here with a threat of rain.  I'm hoping I can dodge the showers because I have just washed my hair and I have to carry a box of cookery books into our meeting so an umbrella is going to be difficult

Good morning everyone.  Very heavy showers and still quite windy up here.

I have been been without internet for nearly 12 hours, which is why I didn't get to say goodnight to everyone, last night. Hopefully, Virgin have sorted the problem and it won't go off again.

El, the first time I saw the BA ad, I thought it was a promo for a new film, and I agree there is a cinematic feel to it. I love the Air France ad too, it is so simple and beautiful. The male dancer must have a very strong neck!

Squiggle, I am sure I will enjoy the book. I read the blurb on it and it sounds good.

Summer, I hope you and Mr Summer are having a brilliant time and wish him a Happy Birthday from us.

I have the dentist for my six month check-up today and then I will be doing the weekly grocery shopping, so I'll be back later (Virgin broadband permitting).

Morning everyone xx
Very cold icy wind here. 
I saw Milly Johnson too, on CDWM squiggle, recognised her face, she must have been on some other programme . Havent read any of her books tho, not keen on romantic novels , but glad you are enjoying the one you are reading xxx
El. the Air france advert is lovely, such strength in those dancers and they make it look so effortless x
Happy Birthday wishes to Mr Summer, hope you are both enjoying your time together xx 
Oh the dreaded internet problems Yogi, hope things are sorted today xx 
Hi to Joyron xx 

Squiggle, I hope the showers in your area go away - here it's been sunny all morning, though it is windy.

 

Summer, I hope you and Mr Summer are having a great time.

 

Yogi, I hope your broadband problems don't return. I'm not aware of any problems with my Virgin broadband.

Afternoon everyone.

Hi Skylark, I hope your joints are still good after all that cleaning yesterday.

El, broadband seems fine now. I don't know how it works, so maybe it was just in my area that it was playing up.

Check up at the dentist went well, just a scale and polish.

hi Yogi, i am fine thanks. got physio tomorrow, which i dread, i usually come out with more aches than i had when i went in! its good in the long run tho.
Good news at the dentist   love the smilie !  Bet your glad your broadband is ok now 
Hope you get home safe and dry squiggle x

Aww Skylark, I hope you don't ache too much tomorrow.

Thanks Yogi , i will be fine. Just got to get on with it !

Gone VERY dark here , and lashing down!!   I expect son to be home soon , cant work in this ....

Weather is the same here - really heavy showers.

Sunbathing last week , now this  

Heard a rumour we might get the white stuff later this month.

Sssshhhhh 

Just been reading about Corrie,s Kevin (Michael Le Vell) being arrested and bailed for alleged  sex abuse (teenage girl) which he strongly denies   Corrie producers not saying anything as its an ongoing enquiry

There's been rumours for some days started by reports that Plymouth council were putting their gritters on standby as from 1 October but it's because of being caught out last year. There's nothing I've seen on the Met Office website to say that snow is expected apart from possible snow on some Scottish mountains - there was a sprinking of snow today.

 

The truth is that weather can only be forecast with any real confidence for up to 5 days, any further forward is more like an educated guess.

 

Yogi glad to know that your dental check-up was all fine, love the smilie I can see you flashing those gnashers Skylark good luck with the physio tomorow. 

 

I didn't get caught in a shower thank goodness, they did say on the national forecast that they have snow in the Highlands though, goodness that's early.

Skylark, I read the story about Michael LeVell and I will be shocked if it turns out to be true.

El, I hope the snow remains high in the mountains of The Highlands and stays well away from me.

Squiggle, glad you missed the showers - how did the book sales go?

Thanks squiggle x You have worked hard with the cookbook, hope it is all going well. My cheque is in the post, sent it this morning x
Yogi, re Michael Le Vell I hope it wont be trial by media, he hasnt been charged with anything, and as far as i have read no threat to society. But being a well known name, its all out there. Dont know if he is innocent or not, but i think names shouldnt be released until charges are made. Difficult, when in the public eye of course.............

I agree, because mud sticks, even when someone is later found to be innocent.

Its quite hard to say really Yogi because the woman who is in charge of taking the money for them is a little vague.  My friend phoned me afterwards to say that she had asked for 4 copies and was told to help herself, she handed over her £20 and it was not noted down on a list and ticked off or anything.  Goodness knows whether we will end up with the right amount of money at the end.  Oh well I have tried my best, I can't do any more.

 

Thanks Skylark, I will confirm when I have posted all the books

That's not so good, Squiggle. If I was collecting the money for the books, I would want all transactions recorded,

At least you know you did your best.

Please dont rush squiggle xx
What a pity after all your hard work the woman in charge is a bit hazy. But i am sure all will be honest and things will be ok . I know what you mean tho, i like everything organised , as i am sure you do too, and it can become..shall we say...slightly irritating when some have this laid back way of working. I am sure it will come good in the end tho 

My brother phoning soon, so i will say goodnight . 
Have a nice evening , and sleep well  

Night Skylark sleep well (and have a good conversation with your brother )

 

I'm off too night night everyone sleep tight.

Goodnight Skylark, I hope your brother is keeping well.

Goodnight Squiggle, sleep well.

quick hello & good evening/goodnight to you all Having a lovely time in the lakes, did a long walk today, we're tired but happy Hope everyone is having a good week

Hi Summer, glad you are both enjoying your time away.

I hope Mr Summer had a lovely birthday - I'm sure he did.
