Hi folks, thought I'd start us off.
Not much to report but I managed to master posting videos on the Daily Update today.
Have packed my case, just got to do OH's today and pack the car up tonight ready for the early morning start on Monday.
Will have a lot to catch up on when I get back but hope all goes well with you all and thinking of you TerryM, OH, and the funeral this week.
Take care all, God Bless.

So sorry Billie took exception to her medicine Margo. A good daily brushing will really do her good and I'm sure she'll enjoy the brushing too.
I once had a dear little puss and everytime I saw her eating grass ( to wrap all the fur so she could cough it up) I'd join her and pluck her the tenderest shoots I could find and feed them to her. She thought it just great.
Hi, all. Brilliant weather, so will be brief while OH shops at Tesco’s – mowing and hoeing this afternoon. Great names for Tore and Bynack – and confirmation of male and female. Poor Roy really is rushing round at the moment!
AQ – sorry about all that rain in Vienna – but you made up for it with the food, having regained your appetite.
Margo – pleased to read that you are well enough fro HW. Sorry Billie is blaming you for OH’s bright idea! Reminds me of Daughter#2 – it was always “nasty mummy, lovely daddy” with her – I think still is!
Not your usual garden bird, but now a daily visitor - used to just dash in for water and quick away, now lingers long enough for photos!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Margo welcome back.:-)
Thanks Trish 2 it is good to be back. Hope Mia has fully recovered now.

OG so good to be able to see your photos again. Yes doing a bit of HW but it takes me longer then usual but at least it is getting done at long last.
Good afternoon everyone, it seems an age since I have been able to get on the site mainly due to family circumstances, Hope your all well!
I am actually devastated that I missed the tagging :-( can someone please tell me when this happened? are there any photos? Plus just to enlighten me which chick is which? EJ and Odin have done a grand job, they both look fab...
Afternoon all ... quite a pleasant day here ... sunny intervals ... and no rain yet ... unlike yesterday's torrential showers! Had a lovely morning yesterday ... OH had to go up the coast on business, so I went too ... we visited Nature Reserves and the coffee shop on the way back :-)) I took a few pics at Druridge Pools ... and am posting a couple of pics, not because they are good pics, but because I'd like some help with ID if possible! I think the first is a juvenile black-headed gull, but not sure ... the second I haven't a clue ... just a small wader to me :-)
margobird ... so good to have you back :-) Sorry that Billie gave you the cold shoulder after the furball treatment! Sad to hear the news about your sister, but I hope you have a lovely family time together at the weekend. Glad you are feeling well enough to do a little housework ... but do take care.
Linda - enjoy your weekend with your family .... and Sweetpea of course!
Thanks to everyone for chat, pics etc
Take care.
Joan - avid bird and nature watcher in Northumberland!

Good afternoon DjoanS and thanks it is so good to be back after all the trouble with PC, still a few minor things to do but as long as I can chat and view EJ, Odin, Tore and Bynack I am happy. Lovely photos but sorry can't help with the ID.
Afternoon all,
AQ : Interesting about the party bike although I have seen it before on a program called 'Coach Trip' where people go round Europe on a coach and vote people off the coach if they dont like them. Wouldn't we all like to do that?
Margo : I hope you have a good weekend with your sister on the IOW.
Everyone else thanks for the chat and pics.
Tore and Bynack are fine names for the 2 chicks.
We went to Barnwell CP this morning for a walk around and mainly to see how the family of swans are getting on. Then we went to The Garden Store at Elton Hall for lunch. Now back watching the tennis.
Here is a pic of the swans playing follow my leader:
