And Hi to you to sweetie

Morning all, its a damp one here .

Morning everyone

Had a lovely cold walk this morning with the dogs

Now in work bored!

Stella is back to her usual self bless her

Hi Hannah What a lovely grandma you have making you a nice breakfast like that Morning Mini, it's frosty here too but warmer than you think now that the sun is out



Morning Lorraine, your day sounds a bit toooooo energetic for me, but enjoy it

Morning Laura, Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, you have to do something about this, I wish you all the luck in the world, hope there's somebody out there who wants to listen to you, maybe the police? Good luck.xx

Morning Bev Another busy one for you then, good luck with Kyiro's foot I do hope it's healed nicely under the last bandage, but with all this talk of Manuka honey, especially from Bitkin with little Jimmi, it might be worth a try? I'm waiting for the camera to warm up for that pic, coz I stupidly left it out in the conservatory last night and it didn't like it, it's got condenstation all over the lens and view thingy at the back, blimey I do hope it hasn't died

Morning Steph That poor, poor puddycat, bless you for being such a good samaritan, but then that's sooooo you isn't it!

Morning Linda (although I still like to call you Lucky lol!) Enjoy your day, and don't feel guilty if you're not as busy as this lot

Morning grandma No rain to send you today, it's crisp and dry but cold, so I'm blowing a bit in your direction Does it ever actually get cold as we know it over there then? Anyways, good luck with the moving of the couch, I wonder if you'll find a few old treasures of Pereg's underneath it

Morning Lynn Glad you've done the station run and can concentrate on more important things now like walking Dillon. Don't wrap up too warm, coz I've just done my hour with 3 layers on, and had to take 2 of them off half way round as the sun came up Absolutely beautiful out there, couldn't wish for better, plus I had the place all to myself and I did it the other way around so to speak, so I didn't have the horrendous climb back up to the road, and I very much enjoyed the downhill start I can tell ya Hope you hear from Gorden today on Skype.xx

Morning Anne Not a good night for you and the dogs there Believe me, I know what it's like to have terrified dogs, Cassie was the worst, sometimes I worried she'd have a heart attack on me she got so trembly and terrified with her panting, it's so, so unfair on these animals of ours. I do hope they'll be back to normal later on this morning once you've put the place back together.

Now I really must get started on my busy day, so this thread is now closed LOL NO! I JEST

Morning Jackie It's lovely and bright, crisp and dry here (kiss of death!!!)

Morning Nikki Glad you enjoyed your morning walk, not so good you now have to sit in a boring office, I know that feeling only too well too Thank goodness for Dogsey huh?

Good morning all.

Malka, I actually don't envy you those temperatures because although I hate winter, I don't like it overly hot either. Suits me here because, let's face it, we rarely got overly hot summers .

Very cold, but dry for now here. Going out soon because there is rain forecast for later and I don't fancy getting wet if I can avoid it.

We had a couple of hours of bangs last night. Rosie is very uncertain about them, but not absolutely terrified as Jade used to be (thank heavens).

I don't know how you cope, Laura. I didn't get along too well with my neighbour at my previous home and I hated it. It was stupid really because the guy was paranoid about anyone parking on his front and I'm talking here even an inch over onto his front. It started when I had carers in for my son and there was a meeting at my home to see how things were progressing with him (we were monitoring his epilepsy). It meant that there were five visiting cars in total and one of them parked across from his house on the opposite side of the road (didn't block his drive or anything or make it awkward for him to get out if he had wanted to). He came round and blew his top, threatening police and anyone else he could think of including threatening to report the carers to the relevant department. The car parked across the road belonged to the head of social services so. as you can imagine, the conversation got really interesting

I'm already getting that winter boredom setting in - usually happens about now - so I'm thinking of getting the knitting needles out to while away the long dark days.

Whatever you lot are up to, enjoy

Morning Chris Glad to hear Rosie wasn't unsettled too much by the fireworks, that's just what Zena is like, and it doesn't take much to take her mind off them. Enjoy all that knitting over the next couple of months then to while away these dark, gloomy days - I love 'em though, I'm a real winter girl I enjoy my dog walks more when it's colder coz I get too hot climbing up these hills in the summer

It will be a wee bit cooler indoors once the sun is not streaming through the doorway - I just checked the temperature on the arm of my chair and it is 54°C which is ridiculous.

Can you tell that I am getting a bit of a complex about checking the temperature?! It does get cold in the winter Chris, although usually it is colder indoors than out as this bungalow is solid concrete and breeze blocks, and there is no insulation in the roof space so nothing between the plasterboard ceilings and the roof tiles. Theoretically it is built to keep the heat out in the summer and in in the winter but that does not work, so in the winter I sit wearing numerous layers [over my thermals], plus Ugg-style boots to keep my tootsies from freezing.

But it is November already and about time it cooled off. Mind you they have said that this is the longest and hottest summer since records began - but they say that every year!

There is no way I am going anywhere outside today - luckily I stocked up on the necessary F&V yesterday, but it is yet another day that Pereg will not get a walk. Not that she bothers, I mean she loves going out but is just as happy slobbing around. She will not even have a flonk outside so the concrete must be really hot.

Raining here this morning was a very frosty cold night last night, must have warmed up a little at some point for it to rain though.
Well...have I had a night and a half, and still nothing to show for it, I would swear I never slept at all, apart from the fact I discovered Cariad had dug up the disposable sheeting, the old sheet, the piece of plastic sheeting and dragged the rug from under the little couch, I must have been asleep when she did it, because I would have noticed that. I have been up and dressed since 4am because it really did look like the babies were coming, she is very restless and panting, digging everywhere, and I am following her putting it back trying to direct her to where I want her to go, but no she has been in the utility and dragged some coats down and made a bed for herself right by the back door, you couldn't pick a more drafty cold place if you sat and thought about it. Fed Lona and Mabs and Hhve shut the baby gate into there, and the door and then put a box there, then after getting myself some brekkie I put Cariad in the kitchen with all fresh bedding down and shut the baby gate into there so I can have a bit of time for me as I am so flaming tired now I have stopped caring, but she must be knackered as well poor girl. I heard all this noise, she had managed to move the box, open the door, get through the baby gate and was esconsed back on the pile of coats I have a dog crate in a box so that has gone against the door now and she is lay there panting.
Going to give it a bit longer, then I think a trip to the vets is on the cards, she should be further on by now and like I said we are both of us getting tired, she miles more than me probably, how she manages to move stuff the way she is doing whilst she is in labour amazes me. Just heard a noise, she is trying to move the box so will bring her back in here with me as she isn't going to give up on trying to get on those old coats in the coldest place possible.

54deg?????? You could cook your lunch on the arm of that chair Better not fall asleep in it grandma you'll be frazzled

Now, I got the camera working, and this is what I woke up to this morning


Seems, Zena likes it too

Morning all
Pepsi says what fireworks? She doesn't even open her eyes

I do read all the posts but can't answer them all, how do you do it H and Lynn.
What a lovely little girl Mini
Fab view H.

Hubby had to give son a lift to work this morning at 7am so on his way back he stopped at Lidl and bought their fresh rolls for brekkie. Stiil warm .... gorgeous.
Nothing planned for today, may do some housework
