WEEKLY CHAT (non-osprey) SUNDAY JUNE 28, 2015

  • Your flowers are beautiful, Lindy.  I'm pleased that Bonnie has left a few things in your home and garden intact!!

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

  • By the way, are there any Arnie fans on here?  You've got to watch this!

    This is hilarious!

    Hi, all. I forgot to mention that I saw the white-tail deer (doe) that has been staying behind my garage. I only saw her for a moment; she's very skittish, but so pretty. Also, while I mowed yesterday, two turkey vultures kept circling me, around and around. I think they were betting that mowing all that wet, long grass was going to kill me. At one point, I reckoned they were right. :-)))

    Hellen: Welcome! I hope you enjoy this thread. Folks here are friendly.

    Rita: What a scare! I'm glad Amber is okay. I have friends whose dog did that, except he did jump. They were terrified and raced around the house expecting to find him severely injured, but he was happily peeing as if nothing had happened. :-) LOL

    AQ: That's pretty chilly. I always think of your region as being so hot.

    Clare: Nice to see you!

    OG: Hope your lunch was very good.

    Annette: I don't blame you for wanting minimal bells and whistles on the new vehicle. The more features, the more things that can break down. I'd like to have a hybrid, but you're right that they charge such a premium for them. I'm not at all surprised that people are holding onto their cars longer, since the economic collapse. I'm driving a 2002. LOL I hope you find a perfect vehicle. Also, hope that the tropical storm doesn't cause any damage but gives you lots of rain.

    I just read an article about the huge numbers of red tuna crabs invading Southern California for the first time. You mentioned them last week. Colorful, but funny looking little fellas. There's a lot of them!

    All: Is anyone watching Wayward Pines? I read that it's being shown in U.K., as well as the U.S. That's the scariest show I've watched in years! I just finished episode 4.

    Take care, all.

    diane we are watching Wayward pines, as you say very spooky.

  • Good morning all just a quick look in as Billie spending a lot of time in the garden and she likes me to be with her.

    Lindy very pretty flower pics. See Bonnie is still on an unusual diet.

    I saw this on TV somewhere....... v. funny!!  They must have been terrified!!

  • Hello Margo:  Hope you have a pleasant day with good weather for sitting outside.  Its clouded over here but at least we have no excuse not to get on with housework & gardening!

    Bonnie is bringing in various sticks and weeds, and eating them on the carpet!  Thank goodness we invested in a dog gate to keep her at the back of the house!

    EDIT  - not heard of Wayward Pines, but used to love Twin Peaks, years ago!!

    Lindy and Annette: The visual effects and character development in Wayward Pines are a lot like Twin Peaks, but Wayward Pines has a science fiction theme. It's being shown on Fox network on both sides of the pond. Annette: You can watch online here, but you'll need to register on your cable provider's site to get a password before you can watch Episode 1. (I watched it early on when it was still free for anyone.)
  • Morning all:

    Clare: Ha! You don't have to be an Arnie fan to get a smile out of that.  So sorry to hear that the job search is still proving a pain in the derriere.  Hope that isn't why you've been AWOL.  We miss you.  

    Lindybird: Proms can be a huge expense - prom dresses, corsages for girlfriends.  Not my style at all, but then the nuns at the Catholic school I went to thought Sports Day was quite social enough thank you.  :-)  The poppy is spectacular!

    Margo: Great to see you; nice to know that Billie is keeping an eye on you.

    Diane: Will take a look at Wayward Pines, but have multiple DVDs of the latest House of Cards in my Netflix queue ("queue" is a very weird looking word - just looked it up. It has multiple origins, but I was amused to read, according to the Online Etymology Dictionary, that "Churchill is said to have coined Queuetopia (1950), to describe Britain under Labour or Socialist rule."   Apparently it didn't catch on....

    OK, off to start the day while wondering how the financial crisis with Greece is going to work out - doesn't sound like it is right now....  :-(

  • Laughing at the strange Churchill quote, Annette! Sad to see the ordinary people in Greece queueing up for their own money, to use the word again in another context. Hope they can find a solution to their huge money woes.
  • I was pleased with the poppy pic, as they are such a fleeting treat, like rainbows and butterflies - its the only way I can enjoy my many different kinds of poppy, all year round, when I look at my photos.
