Hello

[Goodytwoshoes]

Hi folks, sorry I haven't posted recently.
I live a quiet life generally, so there's not a lot to talk about.

I hope everyone is as well as may be.
It is far greyer here than forecast.

Morning folk

Wet and miserable here

I am getting ready for cooking class today

Madness and mayhem but good fun

Gawd... Just asked CAB about a text from (alledgedly) GOVHMRC, offering my Tax Refund. Asking to E-mail A UKGOV to claim my Refund.. They gave me how to report the Crime to UKGov Fraud Office.. They asked no more than fill in a tick box. but no details of the Website I was told to call. Seems Like someone is listing numbers in each category, but not making any attempt to Trace the miscreant(s).
They then ask if you want to give further details on their website. 11 minutes waiting for attention - then cuts out.. Life is too short.

I certainly don't find life any easier.

Breadmaker's on, dishwasher's on, dogs are fed, I'm just waiting for workmen.

[The Pedlar]

Breadmaker making bread. Dishwasher sat in front of computer. Dog walked. No workmen expected.

Same old same old.

For what it's worth ... no workmen expected here either! Just planning the next three weeks' work via video conference ... (I mean "day job" work, I'm afraid I'm still on that treadmill)

Best wishes to all especially 3Wells I do hope you are coping with your health issues.
Take care

Greetings.
Just to say, no rain around here at present.
It seems cataclysmic in other places.
May you all stay safe & dry.

Odd innit, how English (OK, don't know about Irish) revert back to the weather... I have had no sign of rain/storm/petulance here. Usually when I read of other parts of the country getting wet, there is some cloud and darkness, but up till last night it has been Clear and Sunny - and last night was oppressively Warm. Hence a late arising.. but Dark this a.m, and radio news was talk of a train derailment in floods only fifty miles or less, distance.

I may be AWOL for awhile. Pooter needs repair.

[Goodytwoshoes]

We are obsessed with the weather, well, I am.
I always wanted to be a meteorologist, but didn't get a good enough 'A' level in geography.
My OH & I often fall out over forecasting.

Today & grey & drizzling.

[Goodytwoshoes]

Today is also grey & drizzling too.
I have two visiting pooches to go with the ones already here & the house feels full.

[goodlookingone]

Hi. I wondered what had happened to this thread.
If its a grey day, you have talked me out of going out.

[Goodytwoshoes]

We're still here, but refined.
Heavy rain overnight, but the sky is clearing now.

[An Tarbh Dubh]

Quite wild overnight here ... windy, and very heavy rain. Sounds similar. Clear skies, but the mercury has fallen, and I do mean "the mercury", we now have my parents' old genuine mercury barometer, a lovely instrument.

[Goodytwoshoes]

We still have one of those too, I mist dig it out.

[Goodytwoshoes]

Perhaps MUST.

I have one of the mini weather-station clocks, Temps, Barometer and Wind-speed. (It was from Maplin a few years back). The sender is on the wall of a shed in the garden and the receiver is just inside the kitchen door. Interesting. But the wind-speed is not that accurate. The small rotating cups on the anemometer doesn't help

[Will the Pedlar]

It's cold in here... If somebody left the door open. They've all escaped.

[goodlookingone]

Is there only us three here? Perhaps we should Gain attention by doing something Wild and Impetuous - just as son as I think of something...

[Goodytwoshoes]

Peeking around the door to say hi.
