Moonie, you know that ice rink you mentioned earlier...?

Awww an owl wiv cold feet

But its beautiful Sweet

  

 

For my night owl friends

Hahaha, an ice skating owl - love it!

 Love the pics. The first owl looks like he's laughing.

Preparing for PB's arrival.

Have a good day everyone, see you later.

Good morning everyone

 

Some blue sky here at present but more rain is forecast.

 

Yogi, you were up early today, I hope you were able to get some sleep. I hope you have a nice PB day

 

Great owl pictures, Moonie and Summer

 

Good morning everyone, a much nicer morning here.

 

I do hope your sister's cold will clear up in time for Christmas moonie, I hope the antibiotics will really kick in soon.

 

I love the skating owl Summer, reminded me of this, my hubby used to love their adverts.  Have a nice day everyone.

 

Squiggle, I liked that Famous Grouse advert, they've done some good ones over the years not that I drink whisky.

 

Good afternoon everyone

 

Yogi, I hope PB arrived safely and you get oodles and oodles of cuddles to top-up your cuddle-o-meter I hope you back is feeling much better today too. All those cuddles will help i'm sure

 

El, the weather is dry here and fairly warm with sunshine earlier too

 

Squiggle, fankoo I had to go and shop for my sister earlier, she is terrible today again Like you I hope it clears up for Christmas

 

Sweet(Hagatha) I hope you have a great day and am pleased your head cold has gone now. Enjoy your party too Any chance of slying a drink out for us?

 

See you all later

Nor me, can't stand the taste

I can't either. Though I did have some Baileys Irish cream with ice cream once and that was very very nice though not in large quantities,

 

Evening

Hope you all had a good day
Mine was busy again and now I've got to head out so here's wishing you all a lovely evening and I'll see you tomorrow.

Help yourselves to these...

*helps self to drink* fanks Hagatha

I hope you have a great evening and enjoy yourself. Take care and will see you tomorrow

 

Evening all.

Had a perfect day with PB, who is a little ray of sunshine. My back has been a lot better today so I was able to get lots of snuggles and cuddles. Middle son and DiL were also visiting and were able to get some snuggles too. PB has everyone wrapped around her little finger.

Moonie, I don't mind if you stick whisky in your tea. You can have my share too, as I hate the stuff! lol

Summer, enjoy your evening out.

 

All of my smileys have disappeared and this is my second attempt at posting. I wonder if Seattle are tinkering?

 

 

Hiya Yogi

 

Awww i'm so glad you got well and truly cuddled to within an inch of your life Sound like a cuddle 'overload'

I'm also really pleased you back is feeling better too

 

hate whiskey Yogi?

 

Everything seems to be okay with me in here Yogi. A tad slow sometimes but on the whole much better

 

Everything seems okay now, maybe it was just a momentary blip.

Yes, I hate whisky, and I hate porridge - maybe I'm only a kiddy-on Scot!

Last week, Mr Yogi and I did a quiz, entitled 'How Scottish Are You?' I got 9 out of 10 and Mr Yogi got 8! I told him he has lived up here so long, he is now a honorary Scot. I'm not sure he was too pleased about that.

 

A glitch, we hope

@ the quiz

 

 

He uses a lot of Scottish words, although he still has his English accent. It's a strange mix.

That does sound very strange Yogi

How is he with Scottish slang, which bamboozles me sometime?

He knows almost as much as I do.

Brilliant

I'm going to toddle off for a bath and then bed.

Goodnight, sweet dreams Moonie and Summer. See you tomorrow.

Goodnight Yogi. Enjoy your bath. Then sleep well and have sweet dreams

For my Night Owls friends....

 

 

 

See you tomorrow

Good morning everyone

 

Quite a lot of rain overnight here, blue sky at present. Tomorrow daytime and night will be very very wet and windy and Tuesday will be bad for many. The newspapers are doing their best to cheer people up by saying that Christmas will be ruined with flooding and travel disruption. The low pressure reading is forecast to drop to 934 to the north west of Scotland. This is exceptionally low, the lowest ever recorded was 925.6 in 1884. This does seem as if this is going to be a very serious storm,

 

Good morning everyone. Weather is windy, up here. There has been so much rain recently that my back garden resembles a swamp.

That weather forecast is depressing, El. Let's hope the forecasters have got it wrong!

Summer, I hope you enjoyed your night out.

Love the newly hatched baby owl.

Out and about with hubby, see you later. Have a good day, everyone.

 

 

 

Good morning I've had 4 hours sleep but can't sleep any longer, I think it's christmas adrenaline!

Yogi I'm very pleased to see that your back has eased off a bit and that you had a lovely day with PB I hope it's a bit better today too

I fell asleep in the car on route to the party last night, but a few diet cokes woke me up and we had a lovely evening. We ended up being unexpectedly entertained by an excellent magician!

Good morning everyone, you should have seen the weather we have just had   The sky went black, the wind suddenly increased massively and then we had hail.  In the middle of it a brave little rainbow struggled against a black sky backdrop.  It's all gone now and the sky is blue, amazing.

 

Sounds like your evening was very good Summer.  I am so glad your back is getting better Yogi and it will have helped enormously to have all those lovely cuddles.

 

I recorded the second Strictly show and I am looking forward to watching it later, my favourite won, I think Abby's dancing has come on in leaps and bounds in the last few weeks and therefore she swept right past the dance training that Natalie had in the past.  I thought Natalie didn't improve very much and maybe she was relying on the training she had before.  Oh and I love Abby's accent

Good morning everyone

It looks like we had a lot of rain over night but we never flood here so all appears to be ok Its looking grey out there so more is on the way by the looks of it. Still its not cold

 

El, the papers like the telly don't always get it right but the pressure dropping isn't a good sign Lets hope you don't bear the full brunt of whatever comes you way. Take care

 

Yogi, our garden isn't looking to bad but that may well change during the course of the day. You take care whilst out Yogi. Wrap up warm. You don't want to compound your back problems

 

Sweet, i'm so pleased you had a good time and managed to get home safely Do I need to get the headache remedies out? The magician sounds like fun any 'sawing of people in half?'   I hope you have a great Sunday

 

Squiggle, I'm pleased you survived the hail storm and glad you have a blue sky now

 

  or, and this is weird.....

 

Have a great Sunday everyone. See you later

Moonie, I think I was dreaming if I saw an upside down rainbow. They are rare and are caused by there being horizontally layered ice crystals in the atmosphere. They are called circumzenthal arcs.

 

At church today, the service was lead by The Right Reverend Martin Snow who is the new Bishop of Tewkesbury. He's only 45 and is the youngest Anglican bishop in this country. He is what is called a suffragan bishop and is junior to the bishop of Gloucester.

 

Thanks for that info El. I had no idea if that piccie was real or a fake tbh but it looked good

The weather is ebil here

Blowing a gale, bucketing down and now......ooppss sunshine

Moonie, squiggle had one of those heavy showers in her area and there was one in my area just before the church service started.

 

It seems we are all in for them at one time or another today El

 

On my local news website today:

REINDEER have been rounded up just in time for Christmas.

Following reports that Father Christmas had lost some of his reindeer who were last seen in the vicinity of Hucclecote Meadows and Lobley’s Drive in Gloucester, city council rangers were looking for helpers to find them in to time for deliveries on Christmas Eve.

Ranger Richard Lawrence, who went undercover as a reindeer in an attempt to lure the errant animals back, said the event went really well.

“The weather overnight was pretty atrocious but it cleared and we had a good turnout of children who were keen to help,” he said. “We rounded up the missing reindeer, so Santa has a full complement in time for his deliveries

What a lovely story EL
