Good morning, dull and grey here so not too exciting for the bank holiday. Are we all looking forward to a day off, chance to catch up with life, perhaps have a little outing or potter in the garden or maybe tackle some of those long put off jobs around the house?......................oh, hang on, every day's a holiday for us!! :bravo::bravo::bravo:

I've spent the last 45 minutes tidying and generally preparing for the arrival of the small one. I will collect her at 8.30, Mrs P will collect her parents at the same time and deliver them to Burnley station for their train to York. I will bring the small one home as we start two days of child minding and of course the sleepover.

My tomatoes are spot on for being planted up in the greenhouse today and after yesterday's rain the ground is perfect for sowing. Hopefully I can squeeze that in during the day otherwise I will be occupied with the Wonky Donky, Thomas the Tank Engine, Teletubbies, Duplo, various books and rolling around on the floor..................................:eek::eek:

I was going to post a YouTube of I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor but it's probably not appropriate..........................................

Great that you'll be enjoying all of your normal programmes, but what's the small one going to watch? ^_^

:hello: Good morning all, cool and grey so far but should warm up later, I need to do some work in the garden later, the aphids are after my lupins as they are every year, but they're only on two of them, the other two they usually leave alone.

Good morning everyone. Warm and damp........outside that is, not the granddaughter's nappy. Her parents will probably never speak to us again. Last night by 6.50pm she was in her cot completely sparked out. She woke and 3.30am needing a drink and a cuddle which lasted about 30 minutes.......................she's still asleep now. That's nearly 13.5 hours........they just won't believe it!!!!!! :laugh::laugh:

Small person will be going swimming with Nana and I hope to get on the allotment to plant out beans, sow peas, lettuce, spring onion and spinach. Conditions are perfect.

Barnet,
Has anyone found the program 'Life after life ' it's very well done. It's about a girl, born in 1910 who as the title suggests has serious incidents throughout her life, but never dies, and life goes on. Not quite a psychological thriller, but very interesting. BBC iplayer.

Morning all :hello:

Last day on the road for us today. Hitching up in a couple of hours time and towing back home.
Not looking forwards to seeing what state my garden is in.
Hopefully, the grass won't be too long and my veggies will have survived.
This is the longest trip we've done with the van - 32 straight nights and about 1650 miles. Been to a lot of old haunts and met folk we haven't seen for years. It's been very enjoyable.
We'll have a month off now to re-gather our resources and plan our next trip - probably a couple of weeks in Cornwall in June.

I think I might catch up on that. Sounds quite good. I also missed the new detective series that started on Sunday night, DI Rae I think? Need to catch up on that too.

Overcast and quite chilly here just now but a 5 mile wander done.

Mercifully out of touch with the world of celebrity. Of these I know of four (Glenn Close, Sarah Jessica-Parker, Kim Kardashian and Hilary Clinton) and have heard of one but didn't know what he does (Jared Leto):
