Its the most beautiful morning on the West Somerset coast, so off to the beach.

Hope everyone else is enjoying the good weather too.

MTF.xx

Chris.

Enjoy your day and have fun.

csn. xx

Hay, for once I am able to agree with you about the weather CLP.

Have a good one.

Gail.

Bingo, glad you had a good holiday and loved the link.

Marjie, hope all goes well at the hospital.

csn. xx

Christoff, enjoy your drive. I'll give you a wave when you leave the A3.

MTF, the beach? how wonderful.

It's nice that more of you are experiencing this beautiful weather. Long may it last.

Hello Girls and Boys,

It's a lovely day here in Bucks as well. Gorgeous drive to work through the Chalfonts - the leaves are just starting to turn and there is a smell of bonfires in the air.

Have a good day everyone

Hi Chris: oooh, I can just see you in your goggles! And, yes, get a silk scarf - I think emerald green is your colour! Hope you are having a great day. xx

Hi Ladies - I agree, it's just wonderful to have some good weather!

Ah, the mention of motor-homing!! Is it an age thing or have others experienced this phenomenon. For the past year my OH and I have got it into our heads that we would love to purchase a motor home and set off on a senior "gap year". There were no such things back in my day unfortunately. It's great fun planning a route even though it may be a few years before we realise our dream. lol

Hello.

Back from the hospital appointment, oxygen same as usual, I keep on desaturating (oxygen drops to seventy something instead of the ninety something it should be) and carbon dioxide only slightly high but my body's coping with it. This means all is OK and I continue with 15 hours oxygen a day.

I wish I could go along the prom on this sunny day but I'm now awaiting the boiler man and the home delivery.

CLP-I'm awaiting the scooter event to begin at Goodwood!

Afternoon Each,

It's a nice day in my part of the world too :)

I've had an exciting morning at the church, someone wants to come and use one of our rooms for a movie! He is coming on Monday afternoon to have a look to see if it's suitable, he said that two famous ladies are staring in it - 'citing.

As for cars, as long as it gets me from A to B I'm not bothered, but Chris I know you love your motors, so have fun dropping it off at Goodwood.

Many years ago, as I was driving along I witnessed four big chaps standing looking at a rather expensive, shiny sports care; I am ashamed to say that I shouted out of the window "It's a car" - well it made me chuckle.

MM, Glad things are the same, would be good if they were slightly better though. I hope your boiler man is on time and doesn't charge you an arm and a leg! xx

Afternoon all ,

Home early today ,and what a fantastic day it's been wall to wall blue .Chris ,you could have popped along and had a cuppa while you were at goodwood ,i'm only about half hour along the road .I'd even thrown a peice if cake in with it . Oh well !!! maybe next time ..

Take care all ..Bids.xxx.

Patty: you must talk to our lovely Keith about a motor home - he's the man with all the facts! You go for it, when the time it right!

Maddy: glad to hear all went well at the hospital. xx

AliB: very exciting indeed! Some way, somehow, get yourself a part as an "extra"!

Bids: wouldn't it be fantastic to have Chris as a house guest?!

Heading off home, soon, thank goodness. What a long day this has been!

C xx

Evening all

Patty, that sounds like such a good plan. Sometimes I think we'd all like to run away

Maddy, good to hear you're doing well. Has the boiler-man done his stuff yet?

Ali, very exciting! Should be more interesting than grade 1 piano!

I've just put a link on t'other side to a clip that made boy2 go WOW!!! Amazing what you can do with a pop bottle!

Sezza xxx

PS anyone know who's on the show in the morning?

xx

Sezza, Peter Kay's on tomorrow. Should be another good one.

Pen x

Okaaay Penny/ Well, I'll enjoy Chris as usual!

Sezza xxx

Aaaaaarrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I've found the spider!

I was sitting watching television when it suddenly came running at me along the sofa. It moves so fast but not as fast as me when I jumped up. Ithen bravely went back and carefully lifted all the cushions and it appears to have run down the back of the sofa. There'll be no sitting there for me tonight or tomorrow for that matter.

Sezza-the boiler man has done his work and it appears that something has overheated, he said that this is nothing to worry about unless it keeps on happenin g too often.

Off to make a cup of tea to calm myself down, can't concentrate on TV any more tonight!

Good morning all,

Looks like it's going to be another nice day down here on the south coast. Although I'm working today my w/end started last night with the supermarche shopping down and a take away enjoyed ,So things can only get better .

No plans have been made as yet ,but there's time yet for them the plan is going to be to go with the flow. I hope that you have a good one and enjoy whatever you're getting up to ,and i mean that it best possible taste,I know what some of you are like ..Or thinking ...just behave.lol.

Take care Bids. xxx.

Morning All,

I'll join you for a weekend at Goodwood if you like, Chris.
Just flying through, feet aren't touching the ground at the moment - which is a very good thing!
Haven't even looked at this 'ere blog since the Cliff Richard one, so very much looking forward to catching up with what you've all been doing over the weekend.

Speaking of which.....Have a great weekend, all.

Rips

Morning blog peeps!

The sun's not up yet, but fingets crossed it'll make an appearance soon.

Not much to report, looking forward to littlest granddaughter coming for a sleepover, without her big sister this time. Methinks she will be thoroughly spoilt. Not a word to her parents you understand!

As if on cue, the sun's now arrived.

Back later.

Pen x

Morning All,

Hip Hip Hooray it's Friday - my get up and go has got up and gone! I am also coming down with a cold, I think; sore throat, bit snotty etc. It could be my hectic lifestyle catching up on me and this weekend isn't any easier.

Tomorrow I am off to Bournemouth for the day, my old boss is being inducted into his new church so I thought I better go and show my face. Sunday morning I shall be up early to watch the England match as I missed last weeks due to being on the M1.

Hi Bids, Hi Rips, Hi Pen and Hi to anyone else who's snuck in.

I hope everyone has a great weekend - anyone up to anything exciting?

Good morning everyone,

Well, it's raining again, the sun didn't last very long did it?

Just saw on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ News website that one of the trapped miners has been found dead, so sad, I really hope and pray that they get some or all of the rest of them out alive.

Gail

OK. 3 attempts. 3 lost posts.

Deevs, giving up for today

:-(

Gail, just to reiterate your last para. The rescue teams have a mammoth task, let's hope they are successful.

Hi AliB, sounds like another lengthy drive this weekend. Enjoy!

Pen x

Gail, That's awful - so sad, I really feel for their families. Pen, They do have a mammoth task.

Deevs, If at first you don't succeed, try, try again - don't give up Hun xx

AliB

Good morning blogettes

Gail, Yes dreadful news - thoughts with the families and the brave rescuers.

Deevs - Don't give up on us baby !

Last day in work - I'm off for a week - staying in this country. At least the weather has calmed down.

Hope all have a good weekend.

Regards PJ

Wow - perhaps they do listen and read this blog after all!

That sounds good Ali.

X

Ali - that was in my "lost" posts! (not thel ink, just the info). Will reserve judgement until my ears have had a listen.

But what happened to Richard Allinson, Aled Jones etc sitting in?

Enjoying Chris Tarrant in the afternoons - takes me back to listening to Capital Radio Breakfast Show a decade or two ago!

Deevs

Hi everyone:

Maddy: hope you managed to get that spider! I'm sure I would faint if one came at me on the sofa!

Rips: always nice to see you.

PJ: enjoy your week off - it's always lovely to great a wee break.

AliB: fantastic news about Miranda Hart - hooray!

Regarding the miners, it is just awful, I do pray that they will get out safely. My heart really goes out to their families, too, because as yet they have not identified the name of the man who has died, so all the families must be in hell at the moment.

C xx

Excellent news AliB, so pleased it's not RM!

Sorry Deevs, CT annoys the h**l out of me, I have to re-tune. Wouldn't do for us all to agree would it? :-)

Pen x

testing...testing...third attempt...xxx

Sorry Deevs, I'm with Pen on CT, cannot stand him on the radio, the way he talks in loud bursts, has sharp intakes of breath after sentences, interrupts people and that battle of the oldies is just so awful, never mind as Pen says it wouldn't do if we all liked the same things. Rant over!

Morning all.

Nice and sunny here.

Lovely news AliB, I like Miranda Hart.

Pen, have a lovely time with little granddaughter.

csn. xx

why cant i post on here...4th attempt if this works i am going to split my post into 2 boxes xxx

Hi girls and boys I'm having a problem posting on here this morning. Anyway will try again.
Apologies for not being on here, although I have been lurking, honest, when I could. I have had a bit of a hectic year to say the least but have always tried to keep up. I have just come back from a lovely holiday in Crete so I have a lot to catch up on, so I hope everyone has been playing nicely.

next box

csn, will do, thanks. Hope you're ok x

loli, the blog has the gremlins in at the moment, hopefully it will be sorted soon.

Pen x

continued...

I actually heard the whole show today and it was brilliant wish I could hear it everyday.

Anyway I have a secret that I want to share with you all. I have been longing to belong to a very special "club" for a very long time, all my friends are in it and now I am going to be "in it" too. I want to shout it from the roof tops...

I AM GOING TO BE A GRANDMOTHER!

There i have said it, you are the first to know as I have been sworn to secrecy. My daughter has her first scan on Wednesday. Already I am longing to get up into the loft to find my little baby keepsakes which belonged to my daughter, but mr loli has had to reign me in a bit! Anyway I cant wait to go to the shops and buy the cutest little baby clothes.

The sun is shining here,and I am not back to work until Monday...bliss.
love you all
Loli xxx

sorry i had to split what i wanted to say... yes PF gremlins or I need a new laptop!

loli, welcome to the club! There are a few of us on here and we don't mind how loud you shout. Congratulations!

Pen x

loli

Congratulations, wonderful news and welcome to the grandmother club.

You will love it!

csn. xx

Afternoon everyone

Loli, Fab news - congratualtions. Another Blog Grand-Baby who will be thoroughly spoilt methinks!!

I think I could get fed up with Tarrant fairly quickly but I like him for a while. He obviously loves what he's doing and I think that shows so much

Miranda may actually be the thing that makes me switch off in the mornings! Have you heard her and the other chap I've never heard of when they are in on bank holidays? They are obviously not experienced radio people! I'm not sure I can cope with that first thing

I'll give them a go though

I'll echo Deevs, I would love to wake up with Richard Allinson or Aled Jones - I'm not fussy!

Sezza xxx

Congratulations Loli. X

Sezza, you Trollop! lol

Loli - congrats! I'd offer to start knitting but the baby would graduate from Uni before I'd even learnt how to cast on!

Deevs
x

Deevs, I still miss falling asleep with RA!!

From the preview tape they played at the concert I shall be falling asleep with nightmares if the Pink Floyd documentry is on in the usual 10pm slot

Am loving Moira's Jazz ladies, the 20th Century thing is intersting if a little random and I loved Pete Townsend talking about The Who, he has a fantastic voice

Loli, I also will not offer to knit for the baby unless it would really like a sort of lacy doily effect dishcloth!

One of my ladies here knit beautifully. At the moment she has orders for 4 baby shawls as well as keeping her grand children's wardrobes full.

Now, why didn't I learn something useful like that!

Sezza xxx

I really wish I could knit, but I'm left-handed and every time my mum / aunts / nan / friends have tried to teach me, they've given up, running screaming towards the horizon because of my "cack-handedness".

Hmph!

Afternoon blog poppets.

Condolenses (? spelling) to the family of the poor miner who has been found dead. The families of the remaining miners must be beside themselves.

On a more cheery note I am over the moon to hear Miranda Hart is covering for Chris in October. I do like RM but not as a DJ so have turned to John Humpreys et al every time Chris has had time away.

I hope all of you are well.

Cathmel x x

THANK you all for your best wishes, I am so excited. As for knitting yes knit one drop two or three with me as well.

xxx

Yay - Congratulations Loli on your Great news, you don't look old enough ;)

AliB

P.S. It does scare me that I could be a Granny, in fact some of my school friends already are!!!!

Another miner has been found dead!

p.s. NEW BLOG

Hello Everyone.

Cooler here today but still nice.
loli-Hurrah! Congratulations!

Re post 54 on yesterdays blog, the New Brighton promotional song ha ha! I've found another lovely New Brighton song and wanted to share it with you all.
