Hey, how inspiring and convivial is Michael Sheen?
What an absolute TB - Top Banana. Could have chewed the fat with him till this time next week.
Which would have meant him having to be in Scotland as that's where I'm going to be.
Gonna spend the first week of my hols trying to play golf half decently in front of far too many people, with a load of golfists who are miles better than I am. It's one of many ways of depressing yourself, yet I am still very much looking forward to it. We is crazy is we not?
So - see you in a fortnight, be nice to Moira whilst I'm away and I shall return after September has evolved into October and basically it'll be Christmas.
Peace and Love and all things good.

I agree with Sezza, this weather is not what was promised - so do we really believe that it will be 82 degrees by Friday???
Happy Monday Everyone

thank you for taking the time to blog. ;-) I would love a week off to play golf, never seem to have the time to fit it in. You have even managed to book the weather, lucky you!
The sun is trying to break through in Devon and I have high hopes for the week ahead, I mean the weathermen never get it wrong do they???
I had a lovely weekend in Manchester, even if they do talk funny up there. lol Listening to the locals in the pub was like sitting in on an episode of "The Royal family". Ha ha ;-)
Tomorrow is my first day working as a consultant for my new company! Exciting times.......

Bit of a struggle getting up this morning - a long weekend is lovely, but I always wish I had "just one more day" off!
I had a lovely day with my sister yesterday, starting firstly with food shopping at T*sco where we were served by the grumpiest woman ever - it must be miserable to have an eight hour shift to get through, and you don't speak a word to anyone, other than to ask for their money. But that didn't put us off, we had a lovely lunch - including a glass or two of wine (of course!) and then I went home for a quiet evening. A very nice weekend, I am glad to say.
CSN: sounds like you are in the middle of a nightmare - hang in there, it will work out in the end! And, I hope you get your money back. xx
Bids: is your brother still with you? I know what you mean about clashing with him sometimes - families can be difficult, can't they?!

This Indian summer we're having is good.
I'm presently trying to give my cat Tom a frontline on the back of his neck as he's been scratching a lot, not fleas but a skin irritation he gets sometimes.
I went quietly into the other room to get it without making a sound but he knew and he was off into the garden. I slowly walked after him doing a full tour of the garden. As this was going to continue for a long while I decided to come back into the house and await another opportunity.
He's now sitting here looking at me, I think he knows what's coming next.
Right off we go again!

This weather is completely nuts! I've spent the whole summer moaning about the lack of sun and here it is only two days away from October. I'm not complaining at all, but it feels really odd. We had summer in spring then we had autumn and now we've got summer again. It's 27 degrees here in Somerset and there are Halloween costumes and Christmas cards in the shops. Crazy.
AND, more to the point, I've had to put the boots away and get the sandals back out. Well frankly, I'm just not pedicured. I had put my feet away for the winter, if you see what I mean.

I remember a few years ago being in Wales for a weekend one October and we woke up on the sunday morning with the church bells ringing and the sun streaming through the open window and remember thinking "what a beautiful day". It may be hot but we will all be moaning in a few weeks about the cold and wet.
Poor ole Deevs has definately picked the wrong week to leave the country for some sun. Typical.
CSN put your rose tinted glasses and completely ignore the mess and dust it will be worth it all.
Have a good evening everyone.

Agree with what you're saying about the weather and the clothes not quite matching!
Somehow, it feels strange to be here in t-shirt and 3/4 trousers when the leaves are all on the turn
I'm not complaining - it's beautiful today
I booked our C**s do last week - bowling, eating and shopping - sounds like my kind of do...............and all within a taxi ride (or pick up if I can persuade Mr Sezza!!)
Right, off to stir the spag bol

Thank you Chrissie, least I got a cup of tea this afternoon. xx
Thank you CB, rose tinted glasses sounds like a good idea. xx
Electricians have gone now and will be back next week. Plasterer has just been to put all is his stuff in the garage and now just waiting for the plumber to arrive.
It is like a mad house here at the moment, but I'm sure it will be worth it, when it is all finished.
Hi Sezza, I am so looking forward to Christmas this year. xx

Chrissie, I'd forgotten we're going to Bids for the winter. If I get back from Carrbridge, that is. We go north every October holiday and up to now we've had lovely weather - fingers crossed this year will be the same.
CSN - sounds like you're living in a builders yard.
CB, your post reminded me I've forgotten to bring the DVD daughter loaned me - Miranda's first series. She says it's hilarious.

S'funny how different we are. Personally I'm not really looking forward to Miranda on the radio. When I heard her last time, she was so disorganised.
I'm not sure I can cope with that in the mornings - too much chaos already at that time of the morning!

Here we are, the last day of September and the weather has been promised to extend into October too. Who would have thought it?
I just hope, all that talk of the 'white stuff' is incorrect, I mean seriously, how could it possibly be, when you look at what we are getting at the moment?
Wishing everyone a fabulous weekend, whatever you have planned.
I'm off out to enjoy the splendour that Mother Nature has provided. There isn't a price ticket on that.
Happy Days.

Yes its that time of the year, that if you can be out there, then well, be out there basically.
The best things in life really are free. The Levels are particularly beautiful at the moment, so I shall be a wandering over that way all weekend. The starlings are starting to flock again, thats always a sight to behold.
Keith, if you can get out of there, do it. You know it makes sense, oh yes you do. LOL!!

Bids, Looks like you've got a busy night tonight but the food sounds delish :)
Keith, Get out in the sunshine, I am sure there is a little white ball with your name on :)
I've just got to get through 5 more hours of boredom then I'm off to do the weekly shop, then to my friends for tea and then Street Pastoring. Tomorrow I shall be being pampered to within a inch of my life and I can't wait. It was a birthday present and I am having a shoulder/back massage, a facial and a foot massage; never has my body been so loved....lol.
Happy Friday Everyone

Looks like the opinion here at work is "stuff it lets all leave early today as the sun has got his hat on". So like a lemming I shall be following the throng out of the door as soon as physically possible.
Friday night job tonight so pub for me, I love the weekend.
Suddenly dawned on me last night my husbands sort of auntie is arriving from Australia on Monday and he has volunteered us to put her up for a day or two, so Sunday I shall be mostly cleaning and cooking.
LaliB - enjoy your pamper day my mum absolutely loved hers earlier in the year it left her so relaxed afterwards she was floating on air.
MTF - so agree enjoy the things in life that are free as much as possible
Keith - do it go on leave early, plenty of time to be stuck in the office when the winter comes in force.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.

I know it is something that many will find unbelievable and, i am afraid, will make some of you question our relationship but, I beg of you, do not think less of me
I fear, following my reaction to Mr Bruce's Album of the week, that I am going to find the next month a long and difficult one for there is a featured band and the 10pm programme that usually wafts me off to sleep will instead, lead me to a nightmare state!
For, in truth I have to admit, I HATE PINK FLOYD!!!!
In fact, the mere hint of Comfortably Numb or the shrieky waily woman makes my skin crawl and my brain crawl into a dark, dank corner and quiver
There, I've said it! I'll just go hide until someone comes to tell me it's ok, I'm not banned!

Ali,,after your dedicated night of street pastoring, you enjoy and savour every moment of your 'pamper' session.
CB, hope you achieve your 'poets' day.
Back to the garden for me, sprucing everywhere up. Its looking good. Shame I had to sit in a bed of nettles to reach some of it, ho hum, numb bum!

Keith: I hope you did leave early today. xx
AliB: enjoy your massages - you'll be feeling great after them!
CB: good luck with the preparation for your couple of days of entertaining.
Sezza: re: Pink Floyd - I must confess, I can take or leave them. My deeply loved, dearly missed Dad loved Another Brick in the Wall!
Hope everyone has a great weekend - I am hoping to spend tomorrow with my sister, but the weather is looking not so good, so a day out may not be on the cards.

Gorgeous day in the sun with 1yr and 6yr old. And, if anyone gave me a thought when Sally Traffic was on - yes, I was in the ginormous queue to the Forth Road Bridge. Took ages to get home.
Sezza, well that's you off the man in the cupboard's Christmas list. Pink Floyd is his favourite band.
Ali, enjoy your massage tomorrow - sounds lovely and you deserve it.
