Ah bon matin Christophe mon petit oiseau plus tot.

By the crin. That sounds like a laff. Last time I did the aul Brainstormin' lunch wit Prof. Mad Maggie, Damian, Specialist Subject The Ruddy Obvious, Baz the Conservationist an' Craig the Lingerie Expert, we came up wit the amazin' fact that in Psychology, the P is silent (as in bath), that yous can't make lasagne wit custard powder, an' an excellent first draft for Damian's Left-Handed ironin' Board.

Good luck wit that, my friend.

Clodagh.xx

Aaaarrrgggghhh!

Just spent ages typing a blooming post on the last blog using one finger and a mobile and only go and find that you've started a new blog! Where's the New Blog Squad when you want them?

Morning Chris. Morning Clodagh.

PiPx

Oooo Christoff I was just about to post that quote pertainin' to the late Malcolm McClaren, "It's better to be an artistic failure than a benign success", spooky.

RIP Malcolm McClaren. I wouldn't want to be Saint Peter without the earplugs this mornin'.

xx

Sorry PiP but I was reading last night's going on before I posted and then there you were. x

Morning all. Sun trying to get out here but it must have been cool as dew everywhere.

Sus x

Mornin' pip.

Right. Off up the Khyber Pass to Dublin Airport. Wish me luck.

Clodagh.xx

Bonjour Monsieur Le Lambie Pie!

You was robbed indeed, think your instructor was taking it all a little seriously!

Coldagh, Now we know the real power behind the throne!

Pip, I read your post and agree with it all! My boys are 13 and 11 so I end up arranging something or the 11yr old to do and rushing home to "rescue" the 13 yr old from being left all alone and lonely only to find he's gone out with his mates!

脕 bientot mes petits choufleurs!

S茅z谩 x x

Should I worry?

The boys have just discovered you can weigh your pet on the Wii fit.

AS we don't have a pet, they have created an imaginary dog called Fred.

He is brown with a patch on his head and, coincidently, weighs exactly the same as a big blue vase in the corner of my room!

Isn't it time they went back to school?

Seza xx

Good morning all,
Another sunny day here today.and hope it's the same for all.

Chri,Enjoying the show ,but not quite sure about the bum fluff around your chin.
Enjoy your lunch today ,will be very interesting and are you sure you dont want to go to Germany with James.??

Have a good day all ,isn't it nice to be Friday again .

Bids.xxx.

Hiya everyone

Firstly thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts - I still don't intend to become a regular again but I wanted you to know that your kind wishes are appreciated.

I had some very good news about a friend of mine which I cannot say yet - but does seem to suggest that good things come to those who wait and maybe the gift of patience will be hard fought but well learned by me.

Seza - love the idea of your new family pet Fred, you know you get to take hom on long walks now :-) Our cats are all set up on wiifit and when I go 'running' they come along too.

Baggy - wishing she could enjoy the sun and looking forward to the weekend - even if it might involve car washing and ironing.

Greetings CLP Man & ALL Bloggies....

Bingo Star ere....

A couldn't beleive it all.... easier than getting a golf ball in the 'ole from 168!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any way the outcome.... we won a giant smiling rubber cherry.... ended up playing ball with it for the rest of the dee with me GF's daughter & aving a giant rubber cherry bouncing off me 'ead for the rest of the dee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also a few more ex F1 drivers takin part too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning Christoff et al

Definitely one for the wormcatchers this morning!

Perhaps you need to consider some ways of surviving the gymnastics challenge next week! I would have loved to see your and Jonny's faces when Moira announced it, as judging from the reaction in your voices it would have been a picture!

Baggy - nice to have you back, even if only as an occasional contributor, and Bingo glad you had a nice day with the new GF and her daughter, hope it continues to go well, remember steady as she goes!

Cheers

A

PiP: I read your post on the previous blog. Bless, you are really in the middle of everything at the moment! I do understand that you are trying to do everything right, but make sure you look after yourself too, ok? And can you please say hi to AF for me - I really miss her not being here!

On another matter, I really tried to enjoy the Masters last night, but I honestly cannot bear the sight of Tiger Woods. I am not judging him - I have no right to do that - but knowing now what sort of man he is, I really can't stand him. Even Peter Allis had an edge to his voice when reporting on TW's shots. Just my opinion, but I thought I would share!

C xx

Bonjour Monsieur CLP et tout le monde!

Am sitting up in bed with my cup of coffee as it's my long awaited day off. Planning on heading to the shops later as my credit card sould do with a spot of exercise, then a drink later for a pal's birthday. Enjoy your lunch CLP, will wait with interest to see what nuggets of knowledge you come up with.

Grosses bises!
Rx

PS Good effort with the French but can I suggest that "Le weekend est arriv茅, mais dabord le dejeuner" would be slighty better French? x

Bonjour Christophe!

Enjoy your lunch with your mates.

Feel worse today - wish I was Worzel Gummage and could swap heads!

Pip - I think you have reached a good compromise, gives him that litte bit of independance because he feels he is a "grown up" and lets you have some quality time with him. Nice to end the week with at make over at "B" enjoy - I love them! Say hi to AF from me too. We must be due another Leeds meet?

Chrissie - I've never really been a fan of TW, superb golfer but I've never warmed to him. Love watching the golf especially when Mr Torrance is commentating! My money is on Mr Westwood!

Morning to everyone else, have a good day.

Mary xx

Hi Rosie: enjoy your day!

Mary: really feel for you. I know I really hate it when I'm not well! Take it easy - are you sure you don't need another hot tody?!

C xx

Ello Chrissie - 'ope u doing nice!!!!!

Yeah a see am STILL being pre-moderated!!!!!!!

Either the blog ploice think am a very bad, nasty & risky person or the blog ploice wanter mother me... looook after me... take me under their wing..... maybe a should pop inter R2 terdee when am passing!!!!!!

PS A toook me GF for a drink the other dee VERY close ter R2... she wanted ter see where a work when am in London!!!!!!!!

Ooooopppsss LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Christophe Lambie Pie and all bloggers.


I'm also having soup and a sandwich for lunch but, unlike you and your buddies, I am alone. The thing you might discover as a result of this is that you should'nt have dipped your sarnie in your soup whilst wearing your best attire.

I don't worry about such things as the weight of the earth, only my own weight after eating too many buns (become addicted to them since Easter)

Enjoy!

MK

Chrissie - Ave seen Tiger many a time & noot met 'im but goot very close!!!!!! Aka 'eard 'im speak ter some kids siging 'graphs!!!!!

A think 'e iz a nice man but been corrupted by money & fame... suppose yer go from being famous.... ter inter another league.... almost like Elvis... a super celeb... it must do things.. aka change you... be difficult noot too!!!!!

A know the likes of Tiger should be ashamed, 'e 'as everything 'e needs & th emost amazing life... a nice wife, kids, nice bunker splash out action with the wrists... But staying in 'otels... and being who 'e iz.... suddenly 'e will ave all these clinger on women trying ter come onter 'im.... and sadly 'e 'as been temptation 'as goot the better than 'im!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's funny 'ow women when they 'ear am a trucker... they don't wanter know me... even though a eran a good 'onest living & truck driving althoug hlong 'ours iz well paid!!!!!!
Sure if a waz a billionaire golfer.... suddenly all these beautiful women would love me - WHATTA SUPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WONDER WHY!!!!!!!!

When ave seen Tiger up close 'e does seem like a decent bloke who plays golf in 'THE ZONE!!!!!'.... butta did getta feeling all the fame 'as gone to 'is 'ead abit!!!!!!!!
But then it does with most who getta bitta power!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS Just wanter add - astrology a find interesting... Tiger capricorn az iz 'is caddy 'e 'as been with for 'is whole career aka Steve Williams & 'is wife... perhaps a coincidence or more evidence of there's something in astrology!!!!!!
Or maybe it's is just aload of rubbish!!!!!
Az a thought all caps are nice people... recently treated badly by one mesen... so maybe Tiger isn't nice too!!!!!
In fact az am one too.... maybe actually am noot nice & that's why the blog ploice need ter watch me closely, women don't like me, the railway doesn't want me.... and the 大象传媒 too!!!!!!!!!

Or maybe am just trying te rfind answers ter.... the meaning of life & talking a total loada rubbish!!!!!

'ope this 'elps!!!!!!!!!!

PS But at least me new GF wants me!!!!!!!!!!!
Must keep it quiet from 'er that am full teem trucker or she'll be gone like the rest!!!!!!!!

Bye!

Chris, have a good lunch and weekend. What a beautiful morning, oh what a wonderful day in West Sussex anyway. Bingo, enjoy your time with your friend and her daughter. Deevs, have a good weekend - job will turn up soon. Love to everyone else.

Just thought... ter add ter me #19, actually a could do with popping inter R2 when am passing ter getta 大象传媒 pass ter show me GF a do work at R2 part teem!!!!!!!!

Only problem she would ask who iz Mr B. Star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More problems!!!!!

Ello CaptainStella - Thanks for yer kind words, am trying but am digging mesen inter a BIG 大象传媒 'ole ere with the new GF!!!!!!!!!!
Glad the weather iz nice there!!!!

Bye!

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

Big Chief CLP,

If that liquid lunch turns into a LIQUID lunch, then by the time you get around to talking about the stuff that really matters, ye's all be FULL (as they say over here), so any noteworthy outcome will not be noted afterall . . .

and so the wheels keep turning . . .

DtM x

Enjoy . . .

Bingo: what a ruddy nightmare this is with the "awaiting moderation" thing! Just to say, thank you, I am doing nice! I will be in touch with you on FB, just as soon as Mary introduces me to you! I am still on for the 20th, and with a bit of luck, the lovely Mary will be coming along too!

JG: saw your wee mention to me on the previous blog - thanks!

My boss has just suggested that, given he is just back from holiday and CBA, we go for lunch today - lovely!

Hope everyone else is ok.

C xx

Morning Christoph and all. Soup and a sarnie - very sophisticated ! Nice mixed bag of folk - have fun and ask the scientist if he reckons the world has tipped on its axis.

Another sunny day - yippeeee - hope you all have the sun.

Chrissie, your boss sounds pretty good - off for drinks the other week and now lunch. Lucky you.

Bingo - stop fibbing - it will all end in tears you know.

Hiya Baggy - keep smiling chuck.

Mary - big hugs - get more toddys down - kill the bugs.

Rosie - shame I'm not there - would love to help give your credit card a bending. Enjoy :)

Just had a text from MTD - she's at the airport and sends her love to all.

Need to check share prices for the 26th March - anyone got a handy link?

Beez xx

Afternoon all,

Fantastically sunny here today...fingers crossed that it carries on into the weekend - wedding tomorrow :-)

Petits pois

DP

Enjoy your lunch Christoff. Just on the way to London myself to support the Villans against Chelsea!

Yet again the RT seems to have it in for you. This time it suggests that if you want something more refined that the high-energy gimmickry of Chris Evans you should record Alex Lester on the iPlayer and listen to that instead! And after his sterling work filling in for Evans a few weeks ago Richard Allinson has gone back to the overnight graveyard but that's not a problem online! As promised I have fired off a missive to RT. (BTW Thank you B-s Mum for saying that Auntie Clodagh was with me before she was modded! I am now of course burning with curiosity to know what she said that upset the mods!) Have a great weekend everybody and let's hope us Villa fans have an especially great weekend (obviously that 7-1 defeat by Chelsea a couple of weeks ago was just to lull them into a false sense of security, cunning plan huh? xx

Hello all.

Cant stop busy dig, dig, digging.

Potatoes in, broad beans next.

About a month behind with everything.

Wishing you all a Fabulous Friday dahlings.

MTF.xx

Hi everyone,

Lurking as usual and just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a great weekend! Not sunny here but overcast and relatively warm, forecast good though for the weekend. Have a good one.

X

Gail.

Afternoon All,

Chris - Can you find out why Germans are so good at taking penalties please? We may well need to know this come the World Cup. Talking of which Rozzer, I heard a great quip when watching Chasetown (the mighty Scholars) last week by a Villa fan - he said his wife had shouted at him at 8 o'clock on sunday morning, saying, "it's 8", to which he replied "Oh no, have they scotred again"! Anyway, hope you beat Chelsea!
Deevs and I off to Preston this afternoon to see JAMES tonight. Oxygen mas packed for Deevs, as she's never been that far North before!
Have a good weekend all!

Nic

x

...for scotred read scored!

okay - because I am sat at my desk and drowing under work and phone calls I am going to open a vertuial pub for this afternoon only - I am the buxom barlady and most drinks and light snacks are available to order.

The pub outsides is all green with some benches and a gentle slope down to the river. There is a childrens play area and a darts board in the main lounge.

So whos with me?

Picures of pimms and apple vodka surprise are already meade up ready to be tasted.

oh Baggy a vodka and ginger beer makes a lovely long drink to have sitting on the bench, thanks. Have you and crisps too?

Sus x

What a good idea baggy.

I'll have a pint of a nice real ale and a packet of beefy crisps please.

Think you'll find me outside watching the river, hope MTF turns up for naturewatch.

A

Susan - one moscow mule coming up - and what crisps would you like?

Andy - here you go - real ale from the cask and some crisps - feel free to feed the ducks with this spare bread.

ARFternoon

Bag packed.
Oxygen mask and passport for the norf packed.
Taxi booked. (to the station, not all the way to Preston - I'm unemployed y'know!)

Really looking forward to "the mighty JAMES" and even more looking forward to Nic going for it as he introduces me to his favourite band ever.

Have a lovely Friday yous lot - will catch up with you all tomorrow.

Love, and indeed stuff

Deevs

x

Thanks Baggy - plain crisps and quietly does it when you bring them out so that you don't scare off the wildlife we are watching. Andy I do hope MTF turns up as I'm hopeless with identifying these birds.

Cheers

SBP have you got any pink fizz chilling for Beez when she pops by? I think the chards is ok as Debs still on her hols.

Warm out here in the sun mind so the drinks are most refreshing.

Afternoon all

Baggy - I will have a very cold bottle of miller, so cold the condensation runs down the outside...and a packet of beef hula hoops.

BUT - I would please like to come to London for my drink and snack as the weather there would appear to be so much more preferable to Glasgow today. So can you please include flights? Thanks so much.

Have a great weekend one and all and enjoy the golf. My money's on Tiger! I could go on a great deal with this thread but I have work to do.......

dreamer
x

You lucky lot!

If I wasn't dashing out the door right now, I would come and help you tickle a trout Andy!

As it is,I am now off to fight my way through the holidaymakers that are making an early escape for home, hoping to avoid the rush tomorrow. All that achieves is a rush today instead.

Some cross country tactics may be called for.

I might stop off at the heronry and see if we have any new arrivals.

Have fun and dont forget your factor 45, its hot out there.

MTF.xx

Cheers Baggy

A v fine pint. THank you.

Susan I'm ok on the common birds, its anything exotic I have trouble with!

Afternoon All,

I hope you had a good lunch Chris and have managed to put the world to rights or come up with a great invention!

Happy weekend to you all, another nice day in Kent, let's hope it stays like that all weekend. Although I am at the barnet cutters tomorrow for at least three hours!!

Baggy, Excellent idea. I'd love a Pimms and some nuts (oh er missus!)

I am excited to say that I have booked a trip to see my friend in the States in May. Hooray I could do with a break and change of scenery.

Have a good one.

AliB
xx

Cheers AliB - where in the Sates? Might have to have another Baggy if you don't mind but no more crisps.

Andy understand what you mean about the common ones and don't see much of the exotic around these parts.

I think I might risk another, although could be snoozing.


Susan, you could get something blown off course,just look how far north Deevs is going today! ;)

Hi Susan,

She lives in Connecticut, I visit her every year for a bit of R&R, although she does have three girls under 10 and a dog! Plus of course a husband. It's home from home for me which is great.

Happy days

AliB
xx

Now Andy is that the drink talking, things don't normally get this far north you should know that - then again we are south for some of them I suppose!

Thinking I'll have to stop after the two myself as sure Baggy put doubles in them and I can feel a snooze coming on.

AliB sounds lovely but not with the threat of a hangover!! Lightweight me x

Blimey it really is quiet here now - what have you done with everyone?

Pink fizz and a wee bowl of strawberries please Baggy. Just put the bottle in the ice bucket and give me a glass - I'll help myself.

Got my bird watching head on so may be able to help with any off course birdies, and fly fishing gear for later in time for the hatch.

Feet up - watch the boats and ducks go by - I wish................

Enjoy your trip when it comes round Ali.

Beez xx

Hello B's

Just leaving the bottle - a bit dangerous that!

Susan I did have to chuckle at Deev's refering to Preston as frozen north as it must be the deep south to some of our highland gang.

Good luck with the drive home MTF and let's have news of the herons.

A

PS Do we know what Bingo said earlier to have his post removed?

Andy, don't think we will ever know what Bings put - last time I looked it was being pre-modded and now it's been removed.

Blimey - I could just drop off here !!! Pest when work keeps getting in the way, especially on a Friday afternoon. Hey ho.

Beez xx

Afternoon everyone from the sun drenched Chilterns.

Sorry if you don't have the sun wherever you are, but I hope you do soon.
There is no better pick-me-up!

Not been around much as we finally seem to be getting busier and I have been running around like blue (you know whatted) fly. Foe which I am very grateful.

Congratulations CSN x

Happy Hols MTD x

Nice post on the last blog Pip x

Hugs and whatever anyone else needs to the rest of you x

Might see you around tonight

Rips

x

Hiya Gang

Baggy, i'll have a pimms please if you're still serving and some cheese & onion crips pleaseandthankyou!

IS lovley out here on the riverbank with you lot. :-*

Can't believe that this time last week we were all in jumpers and coats and feeling very cold

We'll just push some of this sunshine over to yous who haven't got it yet - catch!


Good training for drinks with the girls tonight!

Cheers!

Seza xx

WOO HOOO !!!! Darce and Pen Great pic with Christoph on fb.

Beez xx

Hi all
Just seen the pic on FB, thanks for the alert Beez!

Tiggs xxx

Brilliant pic isn't it Tiggs - and you look really well Darce. Nice to see you Pen !!!!

Is it only 10 past 4 - flagging here - roll on FNWC.

Beez xx

Oh dear, I can run but I can't hide anymore, thanks guys and you Darce!

Pen xx

Thanks everybody and thankyou Pen for giving me the photo x

You can't tell from the photo but CLP was cornered in wasn't he Pen!

Darce x

Fab photo ladies oh and CLP too xx

Most definitely Darce, and the funny thing about it, it was Mr P who initiated it!

What was I worried about?

Pen xx

Afternoon bloggers!

Thank goodness its Friday - for a 4 day week it sure has been a long 'un!

Sun is shining in Cambridgeshire - long may it continue! Fingers crossed for a good weekend!

Had a mixed say - sold my car which is good but insurance claim is being a pain - the other driver denying responsibility after going into the side of me!

Baggy - I'll have a glass of your finest champagne please. Mmmmmm - can taste the bubbles :)

MTF - your area sound heaven - bit different to my city dwelling! All I seem to see and hear are the geese flying overhead!

Bingo - take it one step at a time with girlfriend and enjoy!

Rosie - hope the credit card enjoyed its workout!

Golf - please, please don't let Tiger win! Am not bothered by his private life I just think he comes across as a bit too arrogant and childish on the course in my opinion!

Think I may hit the driving range over the weekend and see if I can give him a run for his money!

Over & out for now

AS x

#64 - 'say' meant day!

Teach me for typing and drinking at the same time, lol!

Hi peeps, hope you're all having a good day.

Well my planned shopping trip didn't quite go the way I had planned... I was just about to head out to the bum slapping supermarket to do some food shopping when I realised that when I stripped my bed and put the sheets in the washing machine I also put my mobile phone in there!! The sim card survived ok but the handset is drying out at the moment. Anyhow I used that as an excuse to go adn buy myself a new phone, not an iphone as alas they are out of my price range, but something similar .Am still getting to grips with a touch screen phone but I'm sure I'll get used to it!

Rx

Afternoon all

Like to thank everyone for your congratulations and good wishes on the birth of new baby Emma. She is gorgeous.

Daughter still in hospital due to difficult birth, blood pressure still high, but mainly because of what happened after the birth of her little boy two years ago, who I am looking after. My feet aren't touching the ground at the moment.

Hope everyone is ok.

will read posts when I get some free time!

lol, csn. xxx

CSN, glad to hear about your new lady and I hope you're enjoying the time with your little man

Am enjoying some peace and quiet as everyone has gone out

Lovely!!

Seza xx

Hi CSN - lovely to hear from you with an update. I'm glad they are keeping her in to make sure all ok this time. I was wondering how old Emma's big brother is? What does he make of it eh? Hope all well with your other daughter too xx

Really flagging and splitting headache - what did you put with that vodka Baggy?

Susan xx

Hey Baggy whatever it was I have discovered that having a glass of rose helps!! Waited until 6.00pm naturally before starting FNWC

Cheers everyone xx seemed to have killed the blog earlier!

CSN Good to hear daughter coming on well. Bet you will be frazzled looking after a 2 year old wee one.

Sus - hair of the dog?

Enjoy your peace while it lasts Seza

Not good Rosie - but at least good excuse for a new phone.

Good luck with the golf AS.

Was just about to slug my first glass and now got to go out cos MIL out of money.

And joy of joys we now have a power cut!!!

Beez xx

good excuse to go out and eat then Beez once the visit to MiL is over xx

Hi folks

Well I managed to go to the dentist on my own this morning, but am now absolutely petrified at the amount of work that needs to be done, and have also been referred to the hospital for some of it :(

Have warned Mr JG that he will need to come with me next time... April 30th is the next appt at the dentist, and then wait for a date to come through for the rest.

CSN, thanks for the update, hope your daughter can soon be home.

Rosie, Mr JG got caught in a downpour with his work mobile in his pocket, and that never worked again, so getting a new one was probably a good move!

Hi Susan, I might disappear, as my dippy SIL is trying to arrange to pick up a chest of drawers from us, but sounded surprised when I said I couldn't get them down the stairs! Those that know me will know full well I have enough trouble getting myself downstairs carrying nowt, let alone that!

So I'm expecting a phone call...but have poured a glass of wine to keep you company!

JG x

Cheers JG sounds like you need it x

Hiya

JG, Well done for going today and hope you get on ok with your other visits.

Beez, peace didn't last long! Never mind all fed now so I can chill out for a while until I go meet my friends for a drink and a chat!

Is still lovely here so expect the boys might go back out to play for a while

Seza xx

Actually, I may need more than the one Susan! Eeek!

Beez, pick up a takeaway on the way home, hope it's not too far?

JG x

Seza, I loved your story about the imaginary dog this morning, I cannot imagine getting Finlay to stand on a Wii-ft board for long enough to weigh him!

I think my future visits are going to involve a sad tale of woe, but I have a holiday to enjoy before I start worrying about them!

JG x

Holiday JG - where are you off to this time?

We're going to the Lake District for a week, a week tomorrow, a small cottage, in a village with one small road in and one small one out it seems, but the good news is that there is a pub next door!

It's weird, but I've never really been to the Lake District, only the fringes of it, so am really looking forward to it!

JG x (who really should start making some food)!

JG, you have to stand on the board and hold the dog, then out it down and the board works out the difference

As I said, we don't have a dog so "Fred" nearly weighed the same as a chair, a cushion, a cardboard box and boy2!

Off now. laters!

Seza xx

Ooh JG sounds peaceful and and ideal place to chill.

Woof Seza - just so 'Fred' feels included - too much rose` do you think?! x

Seza, the board would simply tell me to get off, especially with over two stone of wriggly dog as well! Haha!

Actually I'm not sure I can lift him anymore, he is so wriggly!

JG x

For goodness sake - didn't realise the whole town was out!! When I got to the cash point the machines were still booting up!!Stood there like a lemon for 15 mins watching dos commands. Was tempted to see if there was an escape key!!!!
Got the dosh (MIL can't see and mizzog doesn't "do" cash machines so I have the cards - and pin no's !!! Barbados anyone?). He will take it there next visit - 1 1/2 hr round trip!

So- at last large red poured. Chicken curry on the bubble.

JG - I did exactly the same as you left for ages then went. Honest - loads to be done but not too bad. The getting there is what gets my nerves hyped up! You will be fine and anyway enjoy your hol. Be interested to know where it is if they take doggies.

Sus - the last time I went out to eat with mizzog was 1890!!!!

Poor Seza - still warm out there - send them out to play - tis still warm (ish) :)

Beez xx

JG - Biggs is used to the scales at the vets now. Drags us through the door and goes straight to them!! Trouble is getting him off so they can turn on and re-set!! Crazy dog!!

Beez xx

Enjoy the red now you can have it Beez. Had turkey curry with my rose - quite a good combination surprisingly.

Hoping to persuade my OH to eat out tomorrow as I have a voucher for free bottle of prosecco -other fizz available obviously!

Go for it Sus. Well in to the red here. You should have gone to Glasgow - the Scottish girls were drinking ros茅 by the carafe - 2 gallon ones...........(only joking)

Must speed up curry in time for Ashes to Ashes.

Beez xx

Beez

Hope this doesn't get modded, but...



Mr JG surprised me with it all booked, and then asked me to pay the 拢100 damage waiver!

Men eh?

JG x

Oh, thanks for the reminder Beez, must make sure he's put it on series link!

Update on SIL, not coming at all now, decided to fix the old ones...when I eventually rang her...Mr JG will be relieved, he doesn't particularly like his sister, unless she's in real trouble...

Hope my tea's nearly ready!

JG x

JG that cottage looks fabulous and some good walking round abouts x

Beez wish I had managed Glasgow as was so looking forward to it. Hope for another meet soon and no lurgy.

Enjoy your food and wine ladies. x

JG before modders put their glass down tis in my favourites!!!!
Thanks matey xxx
Off to eat - back later..

Beez xx

I'm off to eat as well, eventually!

Glad the cottage suits, I think it'll suit us, but will report back after we've stayed there!

JG x

Phew, just made it.

See you in an hour.

MTF.xx

Mon Chere CLP et tous mes blog amis (can't spell in French any more than I can in English!!!)

Sounds like a fantastic lunch meeting/get together. Interesting folk around your table today which would make for brilliant ideas, questions and problem solving stuff... but I suspect there will be no consensus, such a group wouldn't be able to - making it all the more enjoyable. However, I work with academics and I find that they (in the main) lack common sense, and so... even though such conversations are thought provoking and challenging I do find that every day life stuff... like... oh... life... passes them by...

Other acadamics are available!!!!
