Rare Presto2 Posted August 23 #61401 Share Posted August 23 Happy Anniversary Pauline and Graham. It doesn't seem 5 minutes since last year. (You are a day after us so I remember posting about it as ours was the 20th - our pearl!) Hope you both had a lovely day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkshirephil Posted August 23 #61405 Share Posted August 23 Turned into a lovely day here after the wind dropped. We went into Wakefield to see the "Hatchling" emerge this morning. Have a good weekend folks. Animal expressions can be so amusing. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have lost a lot of theolder contributers but it is nice to get new ones such as Vampiress88 and her family in their place. Yes I love reading @Vampiress88 reviews. Interesting to get her perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted August 24 #61407 Share Posted August 24 Apocalyptic rain this morning 😱 Of course - it’s a Bank Holiday t 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalos Posted August 24 #61408 Share Posted August 24 Good morning on this Bank Holiday weekend,when the banks are shut. Nowt new there they shut half of ours years back anyway . They rather we use them online ,which can be annoying , have you ever tried to get a ten pound note changed for pound coins,on your PC ?🤔 The biggest joke is when your computer wants you to tick a box to prove that you are human . A bit ironic that one . Hope the rain clears for everyone and you have a good weekend - Take care .🙂 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian1 Posted August 24 #61409 Share Posted August 24 Morning all,I couldn't believe what I saw on the news.They've rerouted the tour of Wales cycle race cos the support vehicles can't exceed the new 20mph limits in certain areas.Perhaps they should get off and walk thru those areas.Brings a new meaning to the term push bike.Brian. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted August 24 #61410 Share Posted August 24 Good morning. Cloudy and 10°C here. Nothing planned for today although it is handy the nearest beach is less than 10 minutes away in the car. I hope everyone has an enjoyable day whatever you decide to do. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted August 24 #61413 Share Posted August 24 Hello everyone. I have been where the weather is usually pretty wet, and it lived up to its promise, in Cumbria for 5 nights with son and DIL. Lovely to be looked after and cooked for, and have a couple of lunches out, but did it rain, and it was pretty dry back here in Lincs. Travel back took 5 instead of just over 3 hours, thanks to roadworks and Leeds festival - too many people and vehicles in England now; we are full. Tomtom helps a lot, with diversions - good job my son understands it all, because I don't and now never need to. Haven't had time to catch up with all the news on here, so I hope all is well and no disasters for anyone. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted August 24 #61415 Share Posted August 24 Horrible weather here, I am praying that it clears before 2 pm when we are due to bowl. The way my back feels this morning I would like the green to be waterlogged and the game to be called off but as we are on our own green which has excellent drainage that is unlikely to happen. We are actually the away team because we are playing our B team who know the green as well as we do but when we played them earlier in the season we beat them so they will be looking for revenge. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut006 Posted August 24 #61421 Share Posted August 24 Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all ok today. Its a nice day here, mostly blue sky with plenty of sunshine. We went to Viva in Blackpool to see Ibiza Dance Classics set to an orchestra, it was brilliant. Tonight we are at a Wine and Tapas night with friends so looking forward to that. I am making my birthday celebrations last as long as possible! Have a lovely weekend everyone Michelle 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this memory of driving some 6o years ago, when it seemed a pleasure, and even though not a terribly confident driver at first, made my way round Marble Arch without worrying too much. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a lovely weekend everyone Michelle Always a good idea! Wine and tapas - lovely! It’s just started raining here and Mum has had a little fall this morning! Not a great start to the day! John is working today and tomorrow but is off Monday when the weather is supposed to be dry so I’m hoping we can do something then. Off to have my lunch now (salad wraps) then when John gets home we’re off to visit Mum. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
