That's a wild idea. Why do we not 'book' our shopping time slot with the local supermarket?

Sit in the waiting room till our name is called. Fined for non-appearance or turning up late. Pensioners or other non-workers not allowed to shop on Saturdays. Less pushing & shoving - ok daft idea.

Morning All,

Lovely and sunny here ,but windy.

Shelly...... 7 more sleeps !! well done so far,.... now don't even have a sly puff they are not permitted any more ..LOL


Going out somewhere today ......but haven't decided yet ,,,,,,Walking !!

Hope you all have a great day ....

you said it Dermot daft Idea, you could order your shopping on line and go and collect it, that would save pushing and shoving and men standing with mobile to his ear asking his wife" as they have not got something on his list what else should he get in its place." most pensioners I know ,shop during the week anyway unless they are still working.

It's cloudy here in Exeter.
I think there might be some showers unfortunately.

Oh.... I wont be going to Exeter for my walk Pat !


Its still sunny here ....but WINDY still.. good for washing but did all mine yesterday.

We've got glorious weather again, blue sky, bright sunshine and no wind. My hubby has quite a good tan - better than he gets in the summer.

How did your granddaughter do Mo?

Afternoon all

Hope your leg is getting better Stephen

We've got sun here in Hertfordshire but a bit breezy

OH at work today, he gets double time working a bank holiday. The way his shift pattern goes he usually works the bank holidays except Christmas Day.

Just heard that my brother's daughter has passed her driving test, her 3rd attempt, and she will be 18 on Wednesday. She's already got a car so there will be no stopping her now


Well done Shelly, keep going

Loved the photo Marilyn, He don't look too happy with you wiping his face lol

Afternoon
Well it would be lovely here today............. sun shining yet again, but very breezy.
Glad I got the washing done this morning and dried as some idiots(possibly youngsters) have set fire to the local woods !!!
Stupid or what. Danger all round, breathing not easy......... wheezing so windows doors everything closed tight. Masses of smoke in the garden, aircraft flying over must wonder what is going on below. Helicopters hovering. Emergency sirens wailing.
I worry for the birds with their nests and all te other wildlife... deer, badgers foxes, squirrels etc.
I did more painting earlier but have had to leave the windows closed. So I am also breathing in paint fumes.

Otherwise I am having a lovely day here on my own as hubby is working too Yvonne. Luckily he is off for the next 3 days so we might get out to pay some bills buy a gift for our daughters birthday too and post the cards.

Catch you all later.

Marilyn I shan't be going for a walk, I would probably have difficulty breathing !!!

Linda :o) XxXX

Linda that's terrible, fire can spread so fast. Hope it's not close to you.

I saw on the news that there are wild fires in N. Ireland, Morn Mountains. Some thought to have been started derliberatly (sp)

Take care

I went out for an hour! I sat in the park reading my book!

Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good dog:

1. I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up.
2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.
3. The Litter Box is not a cookie jar.
4. The sofa is not a 'face towel'.
5. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
6. I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.
7. Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable way of saying 'hello'.
8. I don't need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm under the coffee table
9. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house - not after.
10. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the capet.
11. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch.
12. The cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.

Hi Yvonne
Not too close about mile and a half or so.
But my son was at his Sister in Laws 4 miles away and he saw the smoke and has been hearing sirens too.
Local pub evacuated and some roads closed. Guess they can't take a risk.

Have some pictures from home if you'd like to see them let me know.

Dermot might be glad I don't have a dog right now !!!LOL

Linda :o) XxX

Linda, check the cyber hatch, breathing aparatus enclosed ,it may come in handy for you with the fire fumes, and the paint smell.
I wonder if it was someone who was trying to do a BBQ in the woods,that started the fire. Anyway whoever started it, I hope they get caught,and punished for it.
Lets hope the fire brigade can get it under control soon. And that the birds and animals don't suffer to badly from it.

Pauline, my grandaughter got a recall at the competition, but was one point short of getting into the finals.
I am so proud of her, as it's the first adult comp she has entered.
Who knows she may do better next year at Blackpool, as she got a first in Stoke on Trent and a couple of other places, but Blackpool has always been a hard nut to break, especially with us being Southerners.

We popped in to see our lovely Lilly today. She is such a little smiler, and is so content now she is back in her regular routine.
Her mum had been baking Blueberry Muffins, and the house smelt lovely.
We had muffins for our dessert this evening, yummy.

I hope that everyone is well, and has enjoyed the bank holiday monday.
Make the most of it coz we are in danger of losing it soon, if the government has it's way.

Hi all ,

I'm watching Snooker ......brilliant game ..

Evening folks,
cold wet and windy here today, had to put the heating on for an hour this afternoon.
Daughter got a new quad bike delivered on saturday and has been out on the roads for the first time today. I was a nervous wreck till I heard her coming back.
Dermot that did make me laugh out loud,4, 6, 7,8, 9 and 11 all apply to mine, lol. Wouldn't let her near any cat, she hates them with a passion. An ex racing greyhound she doesn't bother with rabbits or feral chickens on the common near where we live but if she see's a cat she freaks out barking and hopping along on her back legs and I need all my strength to hang on.
Linda I hope the fire is out and everyone in the area is safe. There are mindless morons about who seem to get a thrill out of this sort of thing. I expect a lot of wildlife will have perished.
Hope everyone is well and enjoyed the day off,

Cath xx

Mo, well done your granddaughter on her first adult competition. x

Still very smokey over 7 hours after we were first aware of it and helicopters still hovering overhead.
I really hope if this was started deliberately that they are caught and made aware of the damage done. Don't suppose they will care though.
Thank goodness the youngsters are back in school again tomorrow

Thanks for the BA Mo feel like I might need it. Bet there will be lots of people at the DRs tomorrow with breathing probs especially for those wit Asthma and hayfever

Linda :o) XxX

Linda, I hope it wasn't our Shelly having a sneaky puff, lol.

Dermot, It just goes to show that cats are better behaved!
I'm watching The Camomile Lawn on the Yesterday channel. I think all the episodes are being shown one after the other.

Time for a coffee and quick shower before "Exile" starts. Watched the first part last night and wasn't sure about it but will see how tonights episode goes.
Back to work tomorrow which I'm not looking forward to as I've been off since 6th April. It'sgoing to be a struggle to climb out of bed, lol. Strange because on holiday I wasup at 5 every morning to hear the dawn chorus and make the most each day.

Cathxx
