Weekly Chat, Sunday June 12, 2011

Thanks Tiger -  you had me worried for a minute!

Good Morning - been delayed in coming on to the Chat thread by watching a Feed on the nest just now. My, those babies are growing fast.

Thanks to Tiger for the Food for Thought Chart - amazing.  Thanks also to AQ for the Friday Smile. Hope you are recovering from both your travels and the germs you caught, AQ.

Went out with Friend yesterday to look at Florists for her daughters forthcoming wedding (next April)  We saw three different establishments, and they were all very helpful.  We also stopped for a big pot of tea in a Garden Centre nearby - it was very quiet, as mid afternoon.  At the counter when ordering, we averted our eyes from the yummy cakes which seemed to be homemade - uuuurgh!  It was a strange day for weather, as the sun kept trying to shine, but then great heavy drops of rain fell, but only for a few minutes here and there.  Spoilt my being good in the evening, by eating a HUGE bowl of our own strawberries, generously slathered in vanilla ice-cream - oh, well.

Off to do errands now, back on again later. Hope everyone is well and OK.

Just saw this on the News!  - don't do this at home folks!

Good Morning ALL. I have spent too long on the Daily Page this morning. We are going to my brother's mid morning and still need to do things in the house.

Dibnlib, You are much braver than me, riding a bike on the main roads. I just don't even consider riding a bike these days.

Diane, Nettles and vodka ? How much do you have to drink each day ?

Thanks Tiger, Interesting to see all the facts in one place.

AQ, Thanks for the funny Friday smile.

OG, I love the 'Pink Jelly' plant. Great that you spotted it. Sorry that you are still feeling under par.

I really must get on. Enjoy today.

Couldn't get on to site last night and taking forever this am. Also enjoyed Monarch of the Glen for both the scenery and the sheer silliness of it all!

Enjoyed the last part of SpringWatch last night, even the sillinesss!!!  (Had worked out ages ago that they were trying to work some song lyrics into the show, as they went along - just couldnt think what they were going to do with them. A stupid journalist in one of the papers thought that Chris was singing love songs to Kate! -how ridiculous!). 

Have also been enjoying the 'Cardiff Singer of the World' every night on BBC4 - just sublime to hear some opera on TV for a change.

Rain is just holding off, here and its very dark and damp.

Lovely pics of the Shelducks, often seen on the estuary here.

TIGER  thanks for the stats, very interesting.
