Good morning CLP (and everyone else) from yet another grey day in Ayrshire.

I'm at work an hour early as David's car is in garage so I had to take him to work for 6.30, never mind just gives me time to check out the latest sporting challenge video and photos.

Have a good weekend everyone, I know I will!!!

X

Gail.

Morning Christophe,

Have just seen the figure skating video, what were you wearing? Can't see those purple satin trousers flying out of the shops any time soon! Jonny looked as if he was off to the Rio Carnival.
Great video, the concentration on your faces, hilarious. Well done!

Happy Friday, everyone!

Mcw x

Hello again,

Having just caught up on last nights posts, MTF, I hope Dylan is OK.

G

Morning all

Why do you wake up earlier when you don't have to go to work?

D'you think watching the ice skating video will wake me up?

Seza xx

Morning peeps
Seza - I have been off work all week and have woken at 6am every day, however, I have just snuggled back under the duvet and had lots of lovely snoozes until about 8am - bliss!

ttfn, Crumpy x

In an A&E television biography on AC/DC, Angus Young said that the group saw Johnson howling and writhing on the floor during a Geordie concert. They agreed immediately that Johnson's performing style fit AC/DC music. They discovered later that Johnson was having an attack of appendicitis.

Morning gang

I saw AC/DC eariler this year at Download where they bought their own stage - great show and glad I had that experience!

There is another Chris blog floating around this morning as I've just posted on ,dont know which one I should be on.

Anyway good mornIng all and have a good day .

Bids...xxx.

Thanks Baggy .xx.

no worries Bids

My assistant just bought me a warm croussaint - now if only I did't have lots of work to do today!

Morning everyone

Cloudy dull start to the day here.

Seza, glad all is going well with your house move. How is the packing going?

MTF, hope Dylan is ok.

csn. xx

Morning all

I'm so relieved it's Friday at last. Tired doesn't even come close.

Baggy, I'd keep hold of that assistant if I were you. Although next time I'd go for an almond coissant, my fave!

Busyish day ahead, full of spreadsheets. The joy.

Roll on 6pm when I shall be home having done the weekly shop, and a lovely evening with my FantasticRolastic lies ahead. Oh, and he's cooking tonight - yeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaw!

Will dip in and out as I can - have a groovy day y'all!

Deevs

oh CLP - you have well confuddled me this morning - got 3 blogs on the go!

Just caught up with last nights posts - MTF - you are bonkers aren't you - loved the vision of the bottom drawer pond!

Seza - hope it all works out well for you next week.

Mtd - good luck today X

Everyone with aches and ouchies - hugs

and hugs to everyone else - just because I can!

Ello CLP & ALL...

Bingo Star 'ere...

CLP - Most interesting ter see no blog then two come along close together!!!!!
Not working for a bus company are you????

Seriously though.... the last blog about AC/DC singer Brain Johnson... very inspirational to hear he didn't get his big break until his mid thirties!!!!!!
Am 37 & feeling like ave missed me big chance!!!!!!

Don't wanter sound mad or egotistical but ave always been a dreamer & known am a bit different than most!!!!!
A know ave got a big talent... but life never seems to let me ge tit out!!!!!
Suppose though there must be a lot of people out there like that.... who could have done it... but never did!!!!!!

A always wanted to be a racing driver... a just know a can really drive... I have an instinct for it... don't know where it comes from but its there... in a split second a can control a car sliding etc!!!!!
At 27 after trying ter fund me racing from trying to start me own business & after not coming from a wealthy family or having a father to help me like most of these top racing drivers do... Lewis, Jenson.... even Matt Neal of the BTCC... all have their fathers behind them all the way... Schumacher too!!!!
I finally relaised at 27 - the dream is 95% over!!!!!!!

Then... after watching The Open... and I had always liked golf... a suddenly thought right... for golf all yer need is a set of clubs... 500 quid!!!!!!!
A lot cheaper than 50k ter fund a seasons racing!!!!!!!!

And a set out to become a pro golfer!!!!!

Some may think am mad... some may think good on me!!!!!!!

And in between work a practiced... got me handicap down to 12!!!!!

Me chipping, bunker play & putting were all brilliant!!!!!

But a just could not get the swing right as from the beginning a developed hitting from the top & a bent arm at impact!!!!!!
But the great thing... a analysied the swing... have got so many books on it.... and filmed all the top pros on practice days... me swing is now 85% plus there!!!!!!

Even after not playing for a year after doing me maths & stuff... ave picked up me clubs & am as good as ever!!!!!!
Yesterday a was watching the best women in the world... and again their swings all have very similar fundamentals.... You can learn so much watching the women golfers as they swing the club a bit slower but just as good as the top men... if not with more finesse!!!!!!

Something a learned yesterday... a noticed to hit the ball harder/ further... yer don't swing yer arms faster.... yer clear your body into the ball faster as yer do the 'magic move' aka drop yer arms down at the same time from the top of the back swing!!!!!!

Maybe a should give the pro golfer thing another shot... and if a don't make it... i'll have a lot of fun along the way & be a damn fine amatuer golfer!!!!!
Plus great for yer fitness & health!!!!!

And if a don't hit the big time... then in the future.... hopefully a can me give kids (if a ever manage to find a wife) the kind of fatherly support that they might need to realise their dreams!!!!!

Today... am off to the golf again to look 'n learn more!!!!!!

Wish me luck.... as CLP says about his garden.... 'am going in!!!!!!' (the golf that is not CLP's garden!!!)

PS CLP - THe something in yer garden... it could be a golfer lost their ball... a paparazzi..... or Adrian Chiles.... be careful CLP!!!!!!!!

Bye!

Ah. Hello CLP bloggers all
:^)

Have popped in to say a special Good Luck to MissterDipper today. Us from over there >>>> are keeping our fingers crossed but understand she will probably come in here first to report back.

Katy xx

Morning all

Hello Katy - nice to see you over here.

MTD - best of luck today, although I'm sure it's not required as you'll be great.

Feeling a bit left out as the OH is taking GD and GB to seaside today and I've had to come to work :(.

Aww Andy - tell you what - what about we have our own virtual day out on the blog today - shall we go to the seaside too?

I'd best not go on the donkeys though on account of the bionic boot - but defo up for fish and chips in paper for lunch! yum!!!

debs
x

I'm already there Debs!!

99 anyone?

MTF.xx

Morning all

I've just got back from the interview - thank you for your good vibes etc I think they worked, I certainly got some good vibes from the interview.

I am sooo glad I did the course last week, a lot of the technical answers were just there rather than me looking blankly......

As this is a contract job, I will probably hear later today. The interviewer said she would be contacting the agency today anyway and she sounded quite positive.


The only downer is that they will want me to work for 3 months and that means that we can't go on holiday before November... still it does mean that we can have a good holiday at the end of the contract....

Laters.

mtd ffb xxx

Just back from the vets.

He is going to be ok, some antibiotics to take and a daily shampoo and set!!

Its going to be a messy business, I may be gone a while.

Cheerio, I'll be back soon.

MTF.xx

I'm up for a day at the seaside - beats trying to work out why the Autrian accountants get a different answer to me!

Just had the activity planned for my first wedding anniversary cancelled - not impressed as we have already paid for the hotel as well!

MTD - good luck

My other member of staff just gave em an apple - do you think they are trying to tell me something?

Baggy

MTD - huzzah! Fingers crossed.

MTF - huzzah! for Dylan!

Baggy - boo hiss. Sue 'em!

Seaside?!? Yay!! Can I have 5 cinamon donuts for a pound and a candy floss please .....

Is it home time yet!?

Deevs
x

Debs

Sounds like a great idea - can we find a candy floss stall?

Looking out of the window at work I can see some gulls fighting over a sandwich, so that's deff like being at seaside ;).

Baggy - Crossiant and apple, is that them attempting to let you have a balanced diet? I think any assistant that brings food is worth keeping.

A

Deev's clearly a women after my own heart with the candy floss! ;)

I like the beach if riding the horse or walking the dog but definately not to lie down or eat as I hate sand getting on things, not very handy considering I work in a sand quarry and am surrounded by the stuff, so I will join you with my wellies on, and I will need them today judging by the sky.

X

Gail.

I'm in the amusements beating every persopn at guitar hero :-)

Baggy

Challenge you to a game of House Of The Dead!

Toffee apple anyone!? Plate of whelks?!?

x

If we walk down the pier, can we get the train back?

xxx

We may need to get the train both ways as Deb's bionic boot might not cope with all that walking.

Did someone mention a trip to the seaside? I'll get me flippers, snorkel mask and big (ginormous) rubber ring...... be there in a tick.....

Daisy x

MTD, fingers crossed for you.

MTF, glad Dylan is ok.

Fish and chips anyone?

csn. xx

Cockles for me please csn.

mtd ffb xxx

Jellied eels for me please ...... x

Watch out Deev's you'll be sick with jellied eels on top of your donuts and candy floss!

Jelleied eels - errgh. I'll stick to my candy floss and hot dogs ta.

Sorry gang. It's my Norf London roots coming out ....... x

I have just had to rush Dylan back to the vets.

Back later with an update.

MTF.xx

Anyone fancy a wilted cucumber and dairylea (other cheese spreads are available) sandwich. Crusts are off and there is not too much sand in them, moderately crunchy! xx

MTF - hope he's ok x x x

DDD - going to Edgbaston next Friday to watch some cricket. Thanks for the idea for the sangers .....!

x
x

Bingo, did anything else happen on the golf course that we should know about? ;-)

Deevs - instead of dairyl** why don't you try Seriously Chilli - it's a cheddar spread with chilli (I know you like the marmite cheddar).

Hi Daisy - how's the hand?

mtd ffb xxx

Marmite is the work of the devil. Vegemite is the only sensible option.

mtd - been there, devoured it. love it!! especially on crust warm bread rolls. GirlRacer bought me a tub at the London blog meet and they now sell it in our ELH! (much to Nic's disgust!)

Hi Unc!

We just had a fire drill so had to troop over the other side of the car park.

Deevs
x

Hi mtd, hand is going in the right direction albeit with a few hiccups along the way and too slowly for one who is very impatient. Nevertheless it is in the right direction! Thanks for asking!

Speaking of fire drills the main W**b**ton bakery went up in flames here yesterday afternoon. Made me think of Debbie C. Fortunately no one was injured but there are lots of remarks flying round about the amount of "dough" it "kneads" to put it right etc..
D x

Free toast at the bread factory then ;-)

Hello CLP & Everyone.

A dull day here on the Wirral Peninsula, we need some sunshine.

There's nothing like being up with the lark standing in the garden, CLP. Unfortunately I normally miss this wonderful time of the day. What was the noise coming from the trees CLP? Maybe a fox?

Re post #14.

I can confirm that Bingo has racing driver potential. As a passenger in his first car at 18 I used to sit leaning backwards with my right foot pressed hard to the ground. Until I gradually learned to relax knowing that he did have split second timing and could get through the very narrow space :)

Hope all are well.

MM x

CLP - dug out my old AC/DC album, dusted it off and was rocking away last night. Great to have him on the Radio.

Mr Bingo Stary
Why not open a twitter account so we can have live ladies open tweets (talking golf, not being rude here), pictures and weather update direct from an 'ordinary' spectator.

But you are limited to only 140 characters so you may have an issue with that by the looks of your blog entires !!!! ha

Mikey, may I commend you on your opening line to Bingo. Love it, and you got away with it, fair play ;-)

Hmph! I've just been told by my 25 year old colleague (male) that I am looking tired today and should get some rest over the weekend!

Ego bubble burst!

Deevs
x

OK after trip on train up and down the pier, just got back from chippy with everyones orders, plenty of little wooden forks for all and extra vinegar on everything!

MTF - hope alls well with the wabbit XXX

Daisy - that sarnie suggestion took me RIGHT back to day trips to Blackpool and Southport as a kid - along with tinned red salmon, vinegar and cucumber on white - well soggy by the time you'd stepped off the coach! arh, happy days.

Right who's for a go on the helter skelter?

debs
x

(who really is having fish for lunch now!)

Debs.

Some fish and chips for me please, no salt but plenty of vinegar!

I keep on picturing you with those springy bionic boots bouncing along like a kangaroo so you don't need to do any fairground rides.

I'm now going into the crazy house with the mirrors.

MM xxx

Debs

I'll have some chips, plenty of salt and vinegar, but I bet they've left the skin on the fish, yuk!

Off with some copper in my pockets to find some penny waterfalls!

A

Can I have a wally and mushy peas with mine please ....... x

Andy.

I too have to remove the skin from fish as it always reminds me of snakeskin yuk!

MM x

PS Hope the finger is healing OK

#6. mystery - thanks for making my day I giggled uncontrollably when I read your entry. I never knew that but shall use it as a conversation piece next time I am in the pub. Thanks

Afternnon all

Are we all having a post fish and chip nap?

There are some cracking pictures which Hellen Bach has just put on fb of the breakfast team with signed Pudsey bears for CiN.

A

great pics aren't they Andy?

Tiggs xxx

must be something in the air for great pics, eh Tiggs!?! xx

looks that way Deevs!

Hi everyone:

Just haven't had a minute to read the blog the last couple of days - had a quick scan of today's and just want to say to MTF that I hope everything is ok.

mtd: fingers are crossed for you.

I stop tonight for my two weeks holiday - I am so happy, it is brill! MrS and I are having a "staycation" but we do intend to have "days away" and such. I intend to catch up with some of my friends, have my hair done (yikes!) and spend time talking to MrS over a nice lunch or two. I might even get to see MsS at some point, though I wouldn't bet on it!

Will definitely drop in here to see how everyone is.

Have a lovely weekend, everyone.

C xx

Oh well, another post disappeared. Better luck next time. No Moderator's email again.

Have a great weekend all.

Tim the Taxi X

Hi all

Very quiet for a Friday - is everybody still on the coach on the way back??? Anyway I declare FNWC open (well I've poured my first glass anyway).

I've had a call from the agency - no news either way yet - the recruiting manager has a few budget issues to sort out but it is looking positive. Hopefully I'll hear on Monday.

Have a lovely holiday Chrissie, I hope the weather holds out for you.

Laters

mtd ffb xxx

Tim, think your missing post is on the previous blog from CLP, he tried to confuse us by posting twice on the same day.

It hasn't been moderated, that's why you haven't got an email. :-)

Seza xx

To Sezagirl:

Tricky old CLP. No it was definitely a post here. It rambled on about the seaside and the rustling in the trees might have been Marky Mark practicing his golf before the drive to London...

Thanks anyway :-)

Oh, here you are! Easily confused me!

Haven't properly caught up yet, but just seen Chrissie is off on her hols, have a great time!

MTD, glad the interview went well, lets hope for good news on Monday then! I've just poured my first one as well, and got moaned at, as it's "too early" apparently...not for me it isn't, not after this week!

Hi Seza, have you got a moving date yet?

JG x

You get moaned at as well JG? I couldn't open the bottle, so when I asked the OH to do it for me he said 'perhaps it's trying to tell you something...'

mtd ffb xxx

Evening all

Well, I've survived another week at the grindstone, and don't have anything planned for tomorrow (if you ignore housework and things like that). Sunday will be filled rather well with the usual Sunday stuff (ring, walk, shop, ring again) possibly to the extent that the shop bit has to go, but I'm sure there's enough stuff in the cupboards to last a day or two extra. I too have a drink in hand, but not alcoholic... yet! Am just weighing up if I need to do anymore driving today before I go get a glass and fill it.

Oz

Evenink!

Chrissie - Hope you a great staycation, enjoy some quality time with MrS x

Misstoedipper - Hope the news is good for you - love the positive attitude whatever, that will get you miles x

Chinese and Tsing tao devoured - moving on to good old Peroni........love fridays!

Rips

x

Evenink backatya!

So, finished workage at 5pm. Went to ELH and did the shopping. Got home. My lovely wonderful man took me to the pub where we had a couple of sherberts, he's now cooking tea (pork curry!) and we're watching the cricket highlights. Life is so bloody good, innit!?!?

Ripsickle, got your cheque. And you call ME "nutjob" !?! Made me giggle proper when I opened it, almost as much as my payslip made me laugh when I opened that too! I nust be bonkers ..... say no more!

Really looking forward to seeing some of you tomorrow.


Chrissie, enjoy your staycation.

MTD - everything crossed for you.

FNWC is deffo open and in full swing here at ChezNic Towers.

Big lurve to each and every blimmin' one of yous.

Deevs

it's friday, i'm in love .....x x x

Hiya

Just got back from the slowest meal at a well known pizza emporium ever. All i wanted was a nice quick treat as boys now back and we ended up there for hours stuck at the table under the speaker that has to be loud enough for the whole restaurant to hear

JG Moving date? Funny that. thought we were sorted then people we buying from now want to change date because can't get movers that day now!

So, if any one's got them left to cross, please do cos estate agents meant to be ringing round every removal company in the country to find ones who can do it.

Alternatively, if anyone's got a van - Hi Rips - and is free wednesday to drive from Essex to the Midlands, let me know!

I definately have FNWC well and truly on the go!

Seza xx

ps

JG How's you knee?

deevs, sounding good!

MTD, have mine crossed for you

Oz, sounds heavenly - esp if you miss out the shopping!

Rips, end of the week is good isn't it

Tim, don't know where that's gone then!!

Seza xx

Seza: Hope someone finds a van to help move the chain on for you. Dunno about heavenly, but agree the shop bit is generally the most horrid bit of Sunday and causes me to run round like a blue reared fly to fit it in between the other stuff.

Walk has potential to be a really long one this week, apparently we're going to hand deliver some party invites. At least one of the recipients lives a long way out of the village... Wish me luck, afternoon ring is rather a long way up. More walking. It'd better be doing me good!

Oz

TheManFromUncle & MikeyMikey & Anyone Else Who Might Wanter Know - A can give yer me FULL golf report today from Royal Birkdale:

Rain, rain, rain, rain & more rain.... with a few birdies & bogeys thrown in..... and a bit more rain!!!!!!!!!

Golf in the middle of the britsh summer.... ter all 160 female golfers taking part from all around the world.... welcome to summertime British style!!!!!!

Bye!

Ps A am already on twitter... BingoStarUK!!!!!!!!

So a can keep upter date with CLP when 'e's not 'ere or at R2!!!!!

Aww Seza, just tell them you MUST move and they have to go into storage/rented in the meantime! That's what we made ours do!

Bingo, you're quite correct, it's persisting it down here!

Oz, enjoy your walk, I wish I could walk anywhere! Am going to try to rest my knee a bit this w/end if I get the chance, although I don't think it'll work out like that...

But I do really need to rest this stupid knee!!

JG x

Evening all

JG never mind try and rest - it will NOT get better without resting it properly!

Tim - I had a few problems with posts today, I ended up copying them before pressing comment to make sure I didn't have to post it all again.

What a great night for uk in the athletics, gold , silvers and bronzes, hope it carries forward to 2012.

Cheers

A

JG, Sorry to hear your knee not getting better. Hopefully you will be able to rest it this weekend

Has just started to rain here, glad boys tucked up inside - even if one of them is on a mattress on the floor!

Seza xx

Seza, it's not looking good so far, Mr JG hasn't done the shopping (well he has for bits he wanted) or sorted the vacuum cleaner!! Apparently there's some test match on.... So I'll need to do that. He is refusing to even look at my knee as I'd had some wine, so it's "my own fault"!!

I'm actually livid about his attitude, I'd have gone the the Dr's and maybe had a scan if I thought I wouldn't have had to drive myself there and back! Plus I CANNOT have time off work right now...

I actualy just despair right now, and it's only going to get worse when my travelling time increases a week on Monday!

JG x

Andy, I know!!

Also, my Mum and sister are coming up to stay a week on Tuesday, so I need to change the beds Mil & neice slept in last weekend!

JG x

JG, Sometimes they just don't get it do they?

Nearly had a big falling out with Mr Seza this week. He just couldn't understand that saying "there's nothing we can do" and "it'll all come right in the end" really doesn't help

And if he doesn't stop snoring in the chair I'm going to throw something at him

I can reach a remote, a glass and a cushion. Which do you think would work best? ;-)

Seza xx

I'd throw the remote, it's heavier and likely to do more in trying to wake him up!

Mine woke me up at 5am, going down for a drink, but thinks nothing of basically being fixed in the arm-chair watching cricket for the past 2 days!

JG x

Don't aim at his head though....don't want to read about you in the news!!

Now he's woken up, said he's going to bed, shifted in his chair and started snoring again!

think i'll make a run for it and try to beat him into bed so he's not spralled across the whole thing before I get there!

Sleep Well!!!

Seza xx

Night Seza! xx

JG x

Night all!

Hope you are OK MTf?

JG x

I have had a fantastic afternoon.

Went to the park, fed the ducks, played football and enjoyed all the fun fair rides with little grandson!

Then we went to the seaside and built a huge sandcastle and paddled in the sea!

Then we played in the snow and built a huge snowman!

And the day finished with a paddington bear story!

I will let you all decide, what is fact and what is fiction!

csn. xx

Thanks everyone for your concerns about Dylan.

Some of you may know, how pampered my pets are.

I have always battled with Dylans weight, he simply will not stop eating.

So, the last couple of days, I have had to give him a bath, to give him a hand with personal hygiene.

It seems, I wasn't helping him after all.

The vet, on our first visit, said he needed a bath!!

I explained that he had a daily bath, but due to the thickness of his coat he never dried off.

Ok,. he said, rabbits can get cystitis, so I got some antibiotics and some medi scrub wash to bathe him in.

I dashed home and reported on here that he was ok.....

That was until, I started to pull away some of his loose fur.

The next bit is too gruesome to report, please refer to 'Fly strike ' on google.

A mad panic phone call to the vet and returned back to the surgery as fast as we could get there.

Lots of treatment administered, and now having to treat him like a baby, slapping on the sudocrem at regular intervals.

The rest of the day has been spent, wracked in guilt at trying to do the right thing, yet achieving totally the opposite.

I got back tonight and let him have an hour hopping around the garden, he was actually pleased to see me, despite what he had endured at the vets.

On a happier note, while sitting and watching him stretch his legs, I came across a very funny situation.

I have a little tame field mouse, that lives in my garden wall.

I took a slice of bread out for him, and he popped out of his hole, as soon as I sat down.

Then, something else also popped out of the same hole...

A frog, in fact, a huge frog!

I spent the next 20 minutes or so, watching both these unlikely friends, scuttling/hopping around together!!

I did wonder, at first which one might come higher in the food chain, but, it seeems that maybe they are on the same rung of the ladder!

Anyway, Dylan is back and tucked up in his 'newspaper' bed. We cant use shavings, due to the sudocrem, and all the newspaper will have been devoured by the morning, but, I am determined to bring my lovely bunny back to full health, no matter what it takes or how much it costs (and it did!!)

Off to grab a bite and then going to have a read back over todays musings.

Hope everyone is ok, I guess I will find out in a moment.

MTF, who thinks that might be a long one!

MTF

What a nightmare, poor Dylan.

Hope he is back to full health soon.

Sudocrem is very good.

lol, csn. xx

Night everyone

Sleep well and sweet dreams.

lol, csn. xx

Thanks CSN.

Seems like I have missed eveyone again.

MTF.xx

I can spell everyone as a rule!

Sitting here in the dark, waiting for the GD to come home, again!

Do you ever stop worrying?

I think its best that you dont.

MTF.xx

Ten more minutes!

MTF.xx

Morning all.

Nice and bright here so far.

Rather a late one for me last night (yes even later than I was on here!)
so, going to be taking things nice and easy today.

Off to the garden, to share my croissant with my tame field mouse and maybe even the frog, who knows?

Wishing everyone a great Saturday.

MTF.xx

Morning all

Hope it brighten's up soon (at least it's dry now). Looking forward to seeing peeps later.

Have a lovely day all and I will be back this evening.

mtd ffb xxx

Morning MTF,

Hope that you have a better day today. So sad to hear about Dylan, it is horrible when pets get ill, they can't tell you where it hurts. Hopefully, he is on the mend. That Sudocrem is pretty good stuff, infact when my children were small, they used to call it 'magic' cream, saved many a sore baby bot from nappy rash!! Let's hope it quickly works its magic on Dylan.

What with the frog and the mouse, you sound like a modern day Beatrix Potter...! You and Deevs should get together now she is on this creative writing course! I am currently 'looking after' a family of moorhens, but despite having a huge pond next door, haven't seen any frogs this year.

Have a good weekend, Mcw x

Morning all

Poor Dylan MTF. But love the notion of the frog and the mouse playing together! As for being Beatrix Potter CSN .... hmmmm!?!?!

Just having a quiet moment with a cup of coffee before I go and get ready. So looking forward to seeing some of you today. Absent friends, both living and departed, will be toasted. (as in glasses charged and raised, not as in a panini ....)

Loving your work!

Deevs
x

ps: csn ... snow?!? ;-)

pps: TimT and others - I had blog probs too yesterday - comments disappearing, taking an age to post, blog unavailable at times etc. I thought it was just my naff IT connection at work! x

Morning all

It's still damp and drizzly up here, I really do wish the weather would improve! A bit of sunshine would certainly lift the spirits a bit!

MTF, I've seen sheep with fly strike, poor Dylan! Don't beat yourself up about it though, and I'm sure he'll make a full recovery! xx

My step-dad has been putting crusts of bread out for the birds, or so he thought - apparently he has a little mouse in his wall that's been dragging all the crusts back to it's little storage place too. I'll have to check with him whether he's seen a frog as well.

JG x

Sorry MadChickster, it was you not CSN with the Beatrix Potter suggestion. See, that's what happens when I drink red wine all night .....!

Hair of the dog anyone??!!

x

Thanks MCW, JG and Deevs.

Deevs, red wine ALL night?

Wow, bet you havent got a hangover either!

Mcw, we dont have any fresh water near us, only the sea, so I was amazed to see a frog.

He leapt out of one of my tubs, when I was watering them last night and straight into the hole in the wall.

MTF.xx
