Good Evening Everyone
Our Neil phoned from Brisbane just now to say their decision to stay home for Easter was vindicated with weather up there being rain,....drizzle.....rain.....drizzle!
The large storm cells stayed off-shore apparently, so everyone was spared the predicted heavy dumps!
Grandson spent Good Friday in Townsville having worked a train up from Brisbane, but unable to return until being flown home the next day! But still being paid no end of allowances for not doing anything.
The Railway Unions certainly call the shots up there!

Jaxjacky Help! What I thought was “Dave’s Allotment Shed” isn’t the one I’m after; this is more a yuppy type of take-off and not very good. Dave was a middle-aged practical gardener and ran a TV series from his allotment shed. I’d love to find it again, but *if at first you don’t succeed!” etc.

Megs I’m sure it was very nice to catch up with family again, but probably not at a BBQ. I had to have a look at your message on Good Morning thread ( "that was a mistake"; normally steer clear) and sorry to read of your difficulties.
Is your cat the one that leaps on your face at 3.00am?
I could do with one like that, although perhaps a bit later!
The bedroom clock hasn’t been turned back yet, so I’m about to crawl out of bed, the penny drops and back I go for another hour or more!
I could easily get fussy over hot-X buns, but no chance; no Fairy Godmother these days! sad

Aveline Your long ” freeeezing” spell had me shivering before reaching the end; I was going to say that you couldn’t be in the “Cornish Riviera”, but judging from other posters’ weather reports anything seems possible!
The bouncy castle could have thawed you out provided you didn’t bounce off the parapet, but on the other hand it could have earned you a couple of weeks in a warm hospital with all found!
Oh dear! I must learn to put a sock in it!
Good Health Everyone; wine wine wine

Hi Rufus Just got in from shopping and a walk. Got a few days of work so just relaxing and doing the things I want to do.
Take care

Hi Rufus, I have one bouncy castle incident which I try and forget, unfortunately, others remind me occasionally, my children would be aghast.
Right, the hunt for Dave is on, my mission. Talking of which, I’m ridiculously excited as my greenhouse is now up, as it is cold for the foreseeable, I’ll admire it from the kitchen. Off to research Dave.
Take care ?

rafichagran Hope you are well! Don't seem to have heard from you for a while, although I can talk, having been in hossie for a fortnight. hmm
For some reason I associate you with Ireland and I'm curious as to whether "shopping" is the same experience as the UK?
Neil in Brisbane tells me that panic buying still occurs up there. at each of their mini lock-downs! Of course TV cameras are always there!

Rufus I am not Irish, I live in Greater London. I love London and cannot imagine living anywhere else.
Anyway very good to hear from you again. I am having a lazy afternoon now, reading Gransnet, and my kindle, have a good murder on the go. Candle is alight and I feel very relaxed. Even nicer knowing my partner is cooking tonight and I am not back to work until next week.

one bouncy castle incident which I try and forget
Jaxjacky Did it cost much to repair or was it a write-off? grin
Thanks for your offer to search; I notice you don't mention search fees so could I assume it will be a case of "Mates Rates"? hmm
Don't forget I'm a great fan of the Saints!
Happy hunting!

Of course mates rates, rough year of transmission?
