It's a tough life Hicky, but someone has to do it ;-):D
Just caught up on Saturday's Dr Who. I think I may be a little in love with Peter Capaldi :o he's awesome as Dr Who, a real throwback to Jon Pertwee with a little Tom Baker on the side, brilliant
OH's away this week so I can watch Strictly on the big telly tonight without him huffing and grumping...yay bring on the spangly bits ....woohoo:D
I am eating a large slice of GF Pizza and contemplating playing hooky and sitting outside. The weather is bound to be more changeable very soon so have decided to enjoy it as much as I can.
Sam's customer cooked us a lovely meal last night and it was nice to meet her and the other couple whom she had invited. we had goulash with some beautifully cooked veg, smoked salmon for starters and a fruit jelly with sorbet for dessert.
We climbed into the car to drive home on the stroke of midnight so it was then our Wedding Anniversary and we spent the hour reminiscing and feeling blessed and lucky.
MIL arrives on Thursday, Honey, Her room is prepared and a friend suggested that it should be known as the Dragon's Den.:D

I know what you mean, a tough life it is.
Not sure what a little in love is like.:+)))))))))))))
Probably the safest.
Not sure why you haven't got your own TV to watch what you like?
We only have 4 but i sure wouldn't watch something i didn't want to.

That was lovely of them, it sounded yummy.
A slow reminisce wasn't it?
Oh dear, her 'Room', it sounds like it should say 'Dungeon'
Oh dear, forgot to congratulate you on your Wedding Anniversary.
Have a great day both of you.

At least you get to enjoy your anniversary before the MIL arrives, love the Dragon's Den! Oh and Happy Anniversary !
Moots staggers in looking pale, interesting and absolutely totally exhausted, trailing a huge load of souvenirs behind her
Hi peeps I'm home!!!
Didya miss me, didya??
Riiiight I have now seen every stately home within quite a large range, some beautiful gardens, lots of shopping villages, a zoo and a safari park, several farm shops, many garden centres, the mosaics at Cirencester and quite a few motorway service staions, just off the top of my head.
There is an absolutely phenomenal baby orang utan at Dudley Zoo. When my sister and I arrived, he was lounging on his back, tastefully draped in straw, but as soon as he saw us he leapt into an amazing acrobatic repertoire, got a bit coy in the middle, finished the show, and then came and stared hopefully at us. He seemed amazingly intelligent and I did wonder if he would be better off with kids his own age, at somewhere like Monkey World.....
I now have to get the house back in disorder (only kidding!), and also hope to sleep for a week!
Morning all:)
Good to see you back Moots, it's been a while. Sounds like you were busy!!
re telly, Hicky. We rarely watch it, it's almost never on so no need for more than one.:) anything I want to watch I tend to stream online (Thai local and satellite tv is rubbish) it's just nice to sometimes watch something like strictly on a full size screen so I stream it from laptop via Apple TV t'telly.
Been boxing again, pest control came and fumigated, tennis later. Gorgeous day again, getting much cooler (relatively speaking) recently so looks like we might get a decent long winter season here- it's the best time of the year, much cooler, not so humid, quite lovely.

I did missed you.
We’re in the Midlands at the weekend. Pretty booked up but I wonder if we can fit in Dudley Zoo.
Busy today, signing papers and showing the buyers round.
My Tesco Hudl2 came today so been setting it up.
Going to have to do my web links on it as well.
Still on my Puter at the mo, will try DS out later on the tablet.
Just had some Rendang Lamb curry i made, wow, after tasting just about every curry made i can say, it really must be the best ever.
Got Strictly take 2 and The Apprentice starting tonight, yippeeeeeee, then BBC2 'Your Fired'
Hi
Back on with normal Puter, at least the tablet works on here, 1st one i've had, O/H has one think it's bigger than this 8.3" but this is easier to carry round.
We’re in the Midlands at the weekend. Pretty booked up but I wonder if we can fit in Dudley Zoo.
Be warned Gemo - the whole zoo is situated on a hill, with a rather impressive ruined castle at the top. We didn't realise this at first, as we set forth in search of a cafe, which was situated behind even the castle right at the far end of the zoo. We looked at various exhibits on the way up and then realised we had missed many side roads as we climbed ever higher, and that we would have to climb the whole hill again.. This we did, much to our amazement...

It looks amazing Hicky! I had not heard of Hudl2 before
I take it you have to have some sort of mobile phone/broadband contract to go with it?
I'm currently working my way through an awful lot of recorded shows. My BIL.who always displays alphaplusplusplus male attributes was really only interested in reruns of Only Fools and Horses, Open All Hours and Last of the Summer Wine, aaaarrrghhhhhh. Eventually we found a compromise with Frasier. Thank God!!:D
You were missed, you'll see from the thread that several of us were enquiring about your whereabouts - I think I'd forgotten how long the rellies are with you:cool:
You certainly packed a lot into the visit, makes me weary just thinking about it!
When I was a little girl Dudley Zoo was a must do for all holidays, so I've probably been there hundreds of times! Dad used to joke that we ought to have shares in the zoo! I haven't been for ages though and it's half term next week so maybe we'll take the children. I remember the hills though, not sure I fancy those with children in tow, not to mention my gammy knee^_^

Hi Moots.
You don't need any contract to use it, you connect to your broadband Wifi the same as you computer to use that.
It isn't a phone, just a computer.
I can get my emails, DS, Gaga, Twitter, Facebook, it's fantastic, and with the screen being a good size the video's look great.
Because i will have to wrap my home computer and everything up i was worried how i would manage, never thought about these Tablet things but am happy now with this.
It has a mini SD card socket so i can add more storage than the 16GB that i get with it.
The screen is 1080P HD so i am delighted with that.

Hi JoJo.:+)))))))))))))))))))
Missed you as i was asleep, go to bed early when i have to get up at 4.30 for work.
The boss is going to let me start coming in later after the school traffic, he said he would get me picked up from the factory car park and brought in.
My leg is suffering now as the walk from the car is probably a mile.
The place is so big.
In the old days i used to have a pass to drive in but with so many staff and cars there is no room any more to park in the factory.

jellus smilie.:p
I’ve been there before. Just for a short time. Mr G said that if we went we would have to miss seeing my Mum on the way back … no it wouldn’t be fair on her …
He also said that maybe my son would like to go and would take me but my daughter had to hold my arm because I had trouble with some wonky stone steps (no 3D vision) last time I went and my son also has no 3D vision and a leg that doesn’t work very well so we may fair very well.

Strictly take 2 and Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, not exactly Big Brother.
But Anne Witi something is in it.
Then we move onto Police Interceptors.
Can't contain the excitement.

It is very good for £129.
I got the £25 Leather case which also acts as a rest so i can watch and operate it standing on a table.
