Happy Thursday Folk

A statue in a garden on the isle of Guernsey. Went a 5 mile walk with my old workmates yesterday. It wasn't all that enjoyable as the fields were waterlogged. We'll have to do road walking walks for the next few months.

Good morning Alan and all others visitors to OFFers.
You better believe it

Although at the moment it is dry but damp and musky smelling, I suppose it is the dead leaves on the ground. Mother natures creatures are not venturing forth this morning so maybe they know something we don't.


Plans for today are staying indoors. Yesterday we went to Crummock Water and although the skies were grey we decided to have a short walk, half a mile from the car and the skies went dark grey, the angels turned on all the taps, Thor got out his hammer and the drums were deafening, someone kept switching the lights on and off and within seconds the road became a river and we became soaked to the skin despite having good weather clothing on. No lunch out, we headed home, changed out of our wringing wet clothes and had Shepherds pie for lunch. I don't think the rain stopped for the rest of the day, but our friends had a nice big log fire, some lovely Brandy punch which made the bones soon got back to normal.

Have a great day everyone and remember

Re: Happy Thursday Folk

Good morning everyone.

Bright but chilly here today and the forecast is dry, so I may go and do a repair job on Mum's greenhouse, which has a couple of cracked panes of glass. Salmon and roast veg for lunch methinks, and then a good walk with the dogs around the Major Oak should be a prelude to feet up with the papers to see the afternoon out...

Enjoy your own day everyone...

Good Morning Everyone, Actually Dry here Today
Got a busy day ahead so I'd best get on with it.

Melrose Abbey....Or what's left of it.
Thought to be the Burial Place of Robert the Bruce's Heart.

Re: Happy Thursday Folk

Again more beautiful photos.

Sounds like you're all going to be busy today. I'm getting fed up just stuck indoors and not being able to do anything after op!!!! It's so frustrating when you want to get on and do things but can't! It's okay, I know I can't and hubby is keeping a strict eye on me.

Asti is booked in for her eye cataract op next Wednesday.

Have a nice day all of you

Re: Happy Thursday Folk

Good morning everybody, its actully not raining, so far!! Hope we are not going to get a repeat of yesterday which was dire. It took me 1 1/2 hours to get home from Carlisle instead of the usual 20 mins! The coast road was flooded because of high tide and lots of other minor roads which lead on to a higher road were flooded. So in the end headed back to Carlisle and took the higher road home which of course I should have done in the first place!!

Busy doing housework today for visitors tomorrow and also have office stuff to do so better get going.

Great photos again everybody, love Melrose Abbey and pleased to hear Asti has her eye operation booked. Sorry to hear about your soaking AB but loved your description on it. don't know what's going on with Photobucket but a lot of my photos have a x in the thumbnail and no photo including the one I've just uploaded!! So have tried another, hope its ok.

Have a good day folks and stay dry

Good Morning All Dull and dreich so far and I thought this was Friday!! Senior moment

Love those photos Bob - Helensburgh holds lots of lovely memories for me, when I was a wee girl in Govan, Mum and Dad would take me there for a day's outing. We would go to the Hermitage Park up John Street (I think) and I would take wish at the Wishing Well! Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Hill House is beautiful - http://www.armin-grewe.com/crm/crm-hillhouse.htm so, thank you Bob for the photo

Aw Roxy your photo as well brought back memories, my late big brother took me there to see the Abbey and Melrose itself as my Dad worked there building up farm sheds before the war and I remember him telling me about his time there and Selkirk as well Many thanks, Roxy

Great links as well Bob Thanks for sharing.

Lovely photo MP - love your dogs

Hope you all have a good day today.

Take care
