The met office said it was going to be a sunny day, they speak with forked tongues,

I haven't heard "speak with forked tongue" for years. It made me smile, particularly when you were using it to describe the met office.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I've never heard that saying Burnie made me laugh though.
Hope the weather plays ball.

Gf your soup sounds lovely. I do like coconut anything.

You've definitely missed out CG! Sitting on the edge of your seat at teatime (on a Wednesday was it?) watching The Lone Ranger (and Tonto) catch the baddies yet again.

"White man speak with forked tongue, Kemosabe". "Hi, ho, Silver, and away!"

evening,the panto was brilliant,so funny and filled with inuendoes,and gok can sing,it was on for 2 hour 15 mins,when the coach dropped us off,we we went for a fish tea,got back aprox half an hour,

[Snoop Puss]

Glad you had a good time, LD. Which panto was it? A fish tea sounds like the perfect way to finish up. We're supposedly too full from lunch to eat tea (lentil and chard gratin), but I'm sure we could eat a fish tea or supper, no trouble!

I never watched the Lone Ranger, MH, but even I knew it was always the white man who spoke with forked tongue. Some things must be absorbed as if by osmosis.

[Bren In Pots]

It sounds like you had a lovely evening LD especially finishing off with fish and chips.

There's long been a saying in Sheffield that originated from the Lone Ranger - "What's this 'we' Tonto"?

I must have been really tired this evening as I started watching "The traitors" on TV and just fell asleep for two hours. I now feel wide awake and I don't suppose my nap will help me sleep tonight.. I'm not usually a fan of any sort of reality TV programme but I'm quite addicted to this. I'm now going to try watching it again on iplayer.

There seemed to be a lot of Western TV series in the sixties. I'm remembering the Lone ranger, Bonanza and Rawhide.

[lottie dolly]

no wonder you fell asleep watching that,i'm off to bed now,goodnight GF
Roy rogers,i used to love watching cowboy films when i was younger,

[lottie dolly]

i am up again,another coughing fit,as fast as my chest clears,it builds up again,maybe time to revisit the GP,only book an appointment with the one i know will take me seriouse,so cheesed off with it,will get a drink of hot water and manuka honey,then have a poke around the putor,and do jigsaws online,

[greenishfing]

Hi, I hope you can get your cough sorted out, Lottie. Obviously my nap earlier has not helped my insomnia.

[lottie dolly]

GF no good trying to fight it,just let it happen when IT'S ready,then slink into bed,and hope for the best,the bother with this type off sleep pattern is,your body want's to sleep at the wrong time off day,is dammed annoying,as for this stupid cough,i thought it was on the way out a few weeks ago,but is come back,i get something every day,it's since the plurosy 12 months ago,i still wake up every day up to now anyway,and in the pink campeared to others,a friend was not expected to make christmas,is now on the strongest pain relief and help from a hospice,ready for any time shortly,only time will tell,it is always the best that suffer

[Nicos]

Mornin you two. I’ve just made you both a brew.
I was up anyway feeding Hibou,so it was no bother.
Shes doing pretty well considering by the way. Yesterday she was out hunting and caught a mouse or vole near our veggie patch!
Vet visit this afternoon for an update check and buy more meds.

Sorry to hear about your friend Lottie x

Right…lets see if a tummy full of warm tea will help ease me back into the land of nod…until the next feed time anyway ( during the night Hibou actually wakes me up asking for more by rattling a carrier bag on my side of the bed Can’t give her too much or she’s sick, so this is the best way, and I honestly don’t mind. She’s such a sweetie even in bad health)

Oh…and whoever it is who is snoring , could you keep the noise down a tad? Ta muchly.
