Good Morning Everyone,
Yet another bright sunny start to the day here in Brackley this morning.
Today , whilst monitoring my weight , they it seems to go up and down by a kilo or more is snacking between meals and in the evenings.
Yesterday , my cycling magazine issues arrived in the post including back copies .
I am hoping my hair trimmer arrives soon , as I have tracked it from China to Heathrow and then through customs for just under a kilo in weight its been along journey .
Mick

I should think that a visit anywhere for any reason is justified as from Wednesday, as long as the 'visitor' goes back home on the same day. That is the official line.

GabriellaG54 Tue 12-May-20 12:08:39

Nice to 'borrow' but I must now ring to make sure I am listed as a named driver on insurance as it's a recent acquisition.

Greece is purported to be allowing tourism from June 1st but you will have to isolate for 2 weeks after returning.
Such a mix of information and different dates.
It's difficult to keep up with what other countries are doing if the countries from which tourists fly, do not have the same rules as their destination. hmm

Yes Gillybob I could pursue it but it would only result in more uncouth language from you so I will leave it.

GabriellaG54 Tue 12-May-20 13:16:39

I wonder if EllanVannin has booked me in yet ?
I wish she'd stop talking food ???

Pittcity Tue 12-May-20 13:25:34

I'd love a daytrip. It's easy to take a picnic but will there be any loos? I might need to buy a shewee!

Good afternoon everyone.
Internet playing up again, gets worse everyday.

I don’t understand Barclay’s Gillybob. It just doesn’t make sense that they keep asking for proof of identity, clearly you must be providing everything you have had to give them in the past. How come it’s not good enough for them now? Call me cynical but that just seems like they’re wriggling out of helping. I’d be on to the Ombudsman, they can’t get away with this surely!

Good to see you post annsixty. Sorry to hear you are in such pain and discomfort ?.

Marydoll, please look after yourself ?

EllanVannin Tue 12-May-20 13:56:08

GabriellaG54, there'd be no room for the RR and D's "poor man's Bentley" in the same parking areagrin, however, a fleeting visit does no harm if you happen to be in the area smile

gillybob Tue 12-May-20 13:56:19

Yes Gillybob I could pursue it but it would only result in more uncouth language from you so I will leave it

Uncouth language eazybee ? are you having a giraffe ?

Please do pursue "it" (whatever "it" is) I'm just dying to hear what you have to say.

CherryCezzy Tue 12-May-20 13:57:02

Happy Birthday Harrigan and marmight ????

Welcome to GN all newbies, good to have you join us. ?

Trying not to tempt fate.... so I’ll tootle off ?
Be kind to yourselves everyone ❤️

EllanVannin Tue 12-May-20 13:57:02

Urmstongran, your " remark " made me laugh as well. Classic.

gillybob Tue 12-May-20 13:58:15

Its not just me Cherrycezzy there are thousands of us at the mercy of the useless Barclays tech teams who can't get their act together. Barclays are being laughed at by the other banks.

gillybob Tue 12-May-20 13:59:04

Desperately searching for my "uncouth language " .

Hmm buggery I can't find it anywhere.

Nannylovesshopping Tue 12-May-20 14:12:32

Think easybee means sh*t gillybob with what you have had to put up with in the last few months, I would be shouting Bolloc*s to all and sundry including barclays?

GabriellaG54 Tue 12-May-20 14:13:25

EllanVannin

Oh, I'd be arriving by train to Lime Street and getting the ferry ?
Got to do it properly includng a donkey ride + ??? I suppose the fair is no more. It used to be up a bit of a hill or slope away from the prom and we went over every week, usually on a Saturday on the Royal Daffodil...sans music. ?

Marydoll Tue 12-May-20 14:15:49

It's actually quite mild, considering what you have gone through in the last year, Gilly.

I have used much stronger expletives against Virgin Media tech dept in the last few days. ?

Keep your chin up! You don't need this added stress.

gillybob Tue 12-May-20 15:52:07

Aaaaah have these flowers eazybee your poor eyes must have been so offended.

Thank you for cheering me up. At least I got to laugh.

Callistemon Tue 12-May-20 16:02:56

Gabriella I hope that the Robin Reliant is a nice, bright sunshine yellow one.
With a sunshine roof

GabriellaG54 Tue 12-May-20 16:09:35

Alas ? it's not mine, it's borrowed ?? and worse...it's dark blue. ?

Callistemon Tue 12-May-20 16:18:19

Ooh, I like dark blue, it's classy.

Luckygirl Tue 12-May-20 17:22:13

Good afternoon - mixed weather here on the S Wales border - but snatched a lovely walk in the bluebells before sun went in. Sweet peas have survived the frosty night - fingers crossed for tonight. Slugs are in evidence though.

GabriellaG54 Tue 12-May-20 17:33:58

Callistemon
Oh dear! Not classy navy.
When I asked if I might borrow it, I was afraid it might be white or some other er... chav hue, in which case I would not want to use it. He said not to worry, it's dark.
I wrongly assumed he referred to dark blue.
No. Having just checked that I'm a named driver, the colour I now know is grey, some weird shade of grey and I have to pick it up from the station car park.
Still, better than yellow I suppose.

Urmstongran Tue 12-May-20 17:52:56

Lovely to look forward to a great day out Gabriella!

I’m one who wouldn’t care what colour car or model. As my old dad used to say ‘3rd class driving is better than 1st class walking’!
