Wet Bank Holiday? At least we are under no illusion!!!

Damp morning at the local Community Fair on the --mud bath--green in town. DGD2 had fun winning loads of prizes as not many other people about! DH at Cup Final so not hoe until late..I have curtains to make but it is more cosy sitting here with lap top!

Just returned home from watching gransdson playing in a fooball tournament - damp and freezing cold. Will definitely now enjoy the remainder of the weekend cosseted indoors with books, TV and on here!! No point being outdoors.

She's probably there now....!

Have you been at that whacky baccy again?

Just had a strange image of jingle being chased by a Llama

Pig racing?

Pig racing!

Bring them to the party!

I had hoped to get out in the garden at least - but it's so cold and every now and then a few cold spots of rain. Any seeds planted have long since died of being water logged - any plants planted out to harden off are not doing well at all. This is usually a very busy time of year garden wise. Instead here I am on my laptop, listening to Radio 4 waiting for the play to start. Oh I've also made a batch of chocolate chip and nut cookies, wonderful smell, anyone wanting a cookie and tea/coffee will be made very welcome.

Well, I'll be blowed! It works!

Indeedy!

lujaha, you are most likely completely confused by now. If you can't find square brackets, try copying and pasting from the emoticons at the end of the thread.

The 123 key jeni? Is that on an i-pad or some-such?

On mine, I tap the 123 key followed by the up arrow key!

Children from the village school do Maypole dancing on the green every year - traditionally they turn a pale shade of blue with hypothermia and this year seems to be no exception.
Stew's in the oven, hot soup and hot rolls for today's lunch, heating on, new book on my Kindle and winter drawers on and I am ready for the Bank Holiday weekend.
We are indeed under no illusions - more like under the duvet

And if your laptop is set for US usage, symbols on some keys are transposed!
(You can set it to UK though)

Keyboards differ, jingl, apart from the qwerty keys. The square brackets on mine are to the left of the return key. My sister complained that the @ key on my laptop was 'in the wrong place'. What a nerve!

I mean the arrow under the delete key.

Are you sure lujaha?!

They're the key next to that arrow with a little tail, that takes you down to the next line.

{ these are on top
[ are underneath (use those)

I've just taken delivery of my latest DVD from amazon, one of our dinosaurs is missing.
The children and husband and I, used to love watching it on tape! Now long gone!
The nannies always made me laugh, they'll make me think of all of us!
Perhaps a venue for a future party? Ie, the natural history museum?

I haven't got square brackets on my laptop !

Its raining in Italy as well!! (sad) but the (wine) is excellent

DH is gardening in his woolly hat. I am cooking a hot lunch. The central heating is blasting away. And the forecast for May is dire!

We are going to a 70th birthday party in a marquee tomorrow and our hostess wants us to stay all day. DH would prefer to come home early and snuggle up at home. I shall wear thermals and lots of layers and hope there'll be enough red wine to see me through the day. Should be fun though .

But I really am bored with trying to be "British" about our foul weather. Ex-pats really do have a point ...

At the bounce and play with my grand daughter. But we seem to have done that to death this year!

wisewoman!
