Good morning everyone, a fairly bright morning, with hardly any breeze. Keira sounds like she is still enjoying life despite some problems. How old is she in human terms Yogi?
Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning Squiggle.
Sheβll be 13 in a few weeks time, which is the human equivalent of a 91year old.
The vet said she is a good age for a golden retriever and sheβs quite happy pottering about. She still engages with PB and BB and her appetite is good.

Weather is dry and frosty.
Keiraβs hearing has been deteriorating for a couple of years but, yesterday, middle son and I noticed it seemed to be really bad.
As a pup, I trained Keira with a verbal command/hand signal combination and she responds to either type of command.
So, Iβve been testing her and it seems that she canβt hear very much at all and is responding to facial expressions and hand signals, not verbal commands.
She was toddling around the garden last night and was oblivious to me calling her, it was only when I went into her line of vision and used a hand signal that she responded. Mr Y has a loud voice so I asked him to call her when she couldnβt see him. She did react in a way which indicated sheβd heard something but didnβt realise it was MrY calling her.
It doesnβt seem to be bothering her but it does mean she has to be looking at us, if we want to tell her to do anything.
Have a good day, everyone.
Hi Yogi π€β€οΈ
Poor Keira π
I guess itβs just old age. Itβs a good job you did train her with a verbal command/hand signal combination
Will you be taking her to the vets tomorrow?
I hope your day is a good one π€π€π€
Hi Moonie.
Her ear infection has cleared up but we are still using the drops to finish the treatment, and weβre continuing with the treatment for her skin, so I wonβt take her to the vets just now.
Good news about the ear infection

I know you will Yogi
Have a super day everyone
Yogi, I hope all goes well when you go out and about and that Keira's alright
Moonie, I hope your boiler engineer arrives on a timely basis and that there's no nasty surprises with the service I assume that's engineer rather than sntineer - sn is short for stannum, the other name for the element tin
Good morning everyone, well you wouldn't want my weather it's very windy and very very wet. I'm planning on staying in! I hope the boiler engineer doesn't keep you waiting too long Moonie.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning damp, cloudy and cold here today, it feels unpleasant!
I hope you all slept well
the lumiere was a lovely evening, and very well organised but I have to say I felt the lights were disappointing. They seemed to miss a lot of opportunities to do so much more with the spaces & city features
Squiggle, that does sound like just the weather to make people stay indoors
Summer. that's a bit disappointing, they should ask you to organise it next time

News that the team behind the two Paddington films will be making at least one live action film, possibly four, based on Enid Blyton's The Magic Faraway Tree series of books.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-42053334
My parents didn't think much of Enid Blyton's books with the result that I read virtually nothing by her. I think there was one of her Noddy books though that might have been a story in a magazine rather than a book. There was one fantasy book which I found interesting as a child, but I can't remember what it was called or what it was about. And that's it.
Afternoon all.
Moonie, I hope you didnβt have to stay in all day waiting on the boiler engineer.
Summer, you should definitely send them an email with your ideas for improving the light festival.
El, I loved Enid Blyton books but I canβt think to which one you are referring.
Squiggle, I hope your weather has improved. It has been damp and rainy up here and now itβs foggy.
Hi Yogi and El
My boiler service engineer finally came at 12-33
It took an hour to do the boiler, gas fire, check the gas stove, the fire alarms and do the paperwork. I say paperwork, all done on an iPad now. All in order and working perfectly. Had the heating on earlier. Had to turn it down a notch, it was so warm
The gas service certificate comes by post from our council as we are a council property
Thatβs that done for another year
Moonie, as Yogi says, I hope you haven't been kept waiting by the boiler engineer
Yogi, Enid Blyton wrote so many books that it would be near impossible to work out which one I read. I can't remember any of the detail though I think it had dwarfs or elves in which isn't much help. Even if someone found the title of it, it's too long ago for me to recognise it anyway

Most definitely Sweet. I have never known you have a bad idea yet
I posted as Moonie was posting. At least, Moonie, it's been done without any nasty problems found

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer and Ros
Evening π¦ I hope youβve all had a good day, Iβve been shopping with a friend this evening, finally made a start on Xmas gifts. I ended up coming home with wrapping paper for next Christmas though lol
i vaguely recall enjoying the secret seven and famous famous five books and enjoying them, but Iβve long since forgotten the stories now. Iβll probably watch those new films though
night yogi and summer
Night Ros
Good morning everyone
Very cloudy dark day here.
A picture of that asteroid "Oumuamua" which looks very odd as it's as least 10 time as long as is wide.

I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning a rainy start here, and very grey π
I hope you all slept well
Good morning everyone, again very overcast here, I think the forecast here is for a fairly miserable week just a touch warmer than last week.
Enid Blyton started off my reading bug, I couldn't get enough of her books when I was a child, and my daughter is the same, we are both bookworms. I know she's not popular with the PC brigade but I shall ever be grateful to her, a real storyteller.
Enjoy your day everyone
I think the weather forecast for all of is isn't that great this week.
Squiggle, I know what you mean about Enid Blyton. Another writer Rider Haggard (best known for King Solomon's Mines, She and Ayesha) wrote very exciting adventure stories. Although many of them were based in Africa, some were elserwhere. He, like other writers of those times, could be accused of colonial stereotypes but in his books the native people are treated with more dignity and sympathy than other writers. And his novel Nada the Lily proves that.
Back from a successful meeting with the two main directors of the huge job where I was able to cut the gordian knot in accounting terms
Evening all.
Despite the miserable, rainy weather, I had a good day with the tiddlers.
Squiggle, I feel exactly the same about Enid Blyton.
