Hi all. Just starting this 'coz going out to birthday dinner with OH tonight (Indian - his choice). Back to catch up with last week's final posts later, (which included a great photo from OG's trip).
Afternoon Margobird - yes, the weather yesterday was quite good, but cool, just a heavy shower on the way home. Today it is cold, windy and rather a lot of heavy rain and hail showers :-( I think I am like a good few people on this site ... trying to do as many chores as possible before the live camera is back on!

Hi Margobird - yes, i look at the still cam when I am in the vicinity of the PC. I really do need a laptop -hope Santa or the birthday fairy is looking at this.
Heahter B will send Santa and birthday fairy a letter requesting one for you. I am quite happy with my laptop but have to put it away late afternoon as it is on dining table and don't thin OH would welcome me looking at the ospreys and ignoring him when he comes in from work. Once dinner is finished it all comes out again.

Now that sounds good. Thankyou! My OH tends to fall asleep after dinner, which is when I run upstairs to check on computer. I always live in hope that the dishes will be sorted when I come back down, but as our children say - 'the kitchen is somewhere that Dad passes through on his way to the garden' - and thats the limit of his contact with the kitchen :-))
Heather B I am very lucky as OH always washes up, shall I send him to you to do yours.

If you can spare him :-)))
He also does the weekly food shop which he enjoys. Doesn't like me to go with him and he says I take too long. Got a great eye for special offers as well.
Two items updated:
Trucker Steve is moving – currently in heavy traffic in Tennessee heading for help – his Mum says he must have recovered somewhat to be driving to a doctor.
Iceland Volcano Still Awake (from Iceland Review online, edited)
An official declaration that the volcanic eruption in Eyjafjallajökull has come to an end will not be made until after next weekend. Minimal unrest is still being detected in the glacier and GPS monitors show slight changes to its surface. Developments will be monitored closely in the coming days. Volcanic eruptions usually wind down gradually before coming to a definite end but the volcanic unrest in Eyjafjallajökull stopped rather abruptly, which is why it is wise to wait with declaring that the eruption is over.
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Thanks original goldfinch for the two updates. Just going to look at Trucker cam.
Hi All. Back from a busy day, followed by a l o n g and boring journey home with lots of holdups on the roads. Just wonderful news that Lily & Hope are together again at last: Thanks to all for news of them, and especially to Alan for the moving clip of their being reunited. (boo hoo! - enough tears from me for several waterfalls). Have just caught up with L. Garten news, good to hear that all is well but I was g**smacked to hear that there had been snow when we had just had a beautiful day and had been sitting in the garden in the afternoon, on garden chairs with a cup of tea in hand, in blazing sunshine.
Will write more ramblings tomorrow. Goodnight All.
