Well...Here we are again, happy as can be, all good friends and jolly good company.
I've been caught on the hop. Come on in and make yourselves at home.
and (((hugs)))
The perfect end to a happy Friday. 
I'm spending 10 days visiting DDs 1 and 2. Today was the first that I didn't have an early start and guess what? Visitors instead! Never mind it was good to see them and catch up with their news.
I'm hoping that our garden which was dry and brown when I left will have turned green again by the time I get back.
DGS is working abroad at the moment and his lovely girlfriend has admitted to dining with another while he is is away. 
bags
that made me chortle.
Bellanonna Yes, I see what you mean about the giraffe-like neck. She was being coy.
Tizliz Def get someone else to clear those leaves.
"Your dogs"...
Okay, they are getting used to new neighbours. It is their prerogative.
As for that Master Mind type question...Nah...I don't know nuffink...
I had a freshly cooked scone with blackberry jam at lunchtime. T'was in the Royal in Campbeltown. I ate every crumb. 
Charleyg It's been a very pleasant day. No ferocious Campbeltown wind. Plenty of sunshine.
Our kichen opened on the 25th of September. It won't be too long before we'll need to open another. Get baking and I shall sort out the bunting.
DB oh yes, especially on the gravelled drive. How can they change the colour of their poo to suit the background?
The weather here is lovely again. Much better than in the summer.
Thanks, charleyg, but I have enough trouble using up ends of loaves as it is because Mini and Mister are toerags! ?
You can have each and every one of my ends of loaves- I throw them out- I know thatbags that is heresy.
soop the deer is lovely- is she just being nosy?
It is chilly here today- I have had the heating on for ages. I am going to get a nasty shock when winter arrives.
db, sometimes I do (sometimes even the night before I'm going to eat it) but just occasionally she gets there before me. I suppose I need to stop unreasonably expecting people to use up the end of the last loaf!
Tizliz my problem (and maybe one of yours) is distinguishing between a soggy leaf and a doggy poo in the minutes nanoseconds afforded before finding out by stepping on it 
soop it is my dogs that are behaving badly! I have rested today - well my body though my brain is about to blow, can't sort out my computer problem. Anyone have experience of Heidenhein TNC151 control to pc? Don't knock me over in the rush
. Any cake going?
soop. I love all your pictures. The deer is lovely, though it took me a while to work out the second pic. She seemed to have a long, thin, giraffe-like neck! Then my eyes fell into focus.
DaphneB I went to bed thinking...heck, I hope that Teddy belongs to kitty's family (and not another Granspal's). Sometimes I get a bit befuddled. 
millymouge Your sister certainly made a fine job of testing the durability of her last phone. I like patient people. My husband has the same temperament.
wot and Jalima Yesterdays on-line shenanigans almost sent me into orbit. All day long stuff was being either lost from the screen or...worse still, stuff I had no interest in was trying to attract my attention.
We returned home to find the deer at the garden fence. Here are a couiple of photos.
Tizliz Try to rest that shoulder. Another few days of relaxation won't do any harm.
The neighbour's dogs will settle down eventually. A new home can be unsettle animals (or so I'm told.)
bags Minibags is a very imaginative young lady. Now that MacS bakes bread, I've also taken a liking to a wedge of warm crust slathered in real butter. What's a girl supposed to do when faced with real temptation...
Why don't you just cut yourself a slice or the heel, thatbags?
kitty Woop woop! xxx
Welcome home, Teddy! Doting grandads are rather sweet, I think 
We (Minibags and I) have solved a problem today. She cuts piffling little skinny heels off the ends of loaves and, since I eat them and like them thick, I've been trying to get her to thicken them up. Today she had a brainwave: she'll just cut the loaves in half and work her way out. That will increase my chances of getting a thick crust by an order of magnitude, I reckon. Phew. ??
Doh!! I think you said so way back. Amnesia strikes again 

Glad you are a bit better Tizliz.
The baby is Theodore - Teddy - Daphne! And I've just had 12 more photos!!
I can't seem to post today either.
Well, I am convinced now that it is GN!!
At least I didn't rush out and buy a new computer today .....
She unfortunately dropped the other one from the top of the house,
was she sitting on the roof millymouge?
soop unfortunately an anti-inflamatory and a pain killer and a long chat to our new neighbours sorted out my shoulder. It is a bit sore and I can only take an occasional nsai as they upset me. I have a computer problem to sort out at work tomorrow so that will keep me quiet.
It is strange having immediate neighbours. The house next door has been empty since we moved here 11 years ago. They seem nice, just have to keep the dogs quieter - the other two neighbours are farther away and deaf!!
I can't seem to post today either.
IT has taken 4 trips to the local mobile phone shop to get Sister a working mobile phone. She unfortunately dropped the other one from the top of the house, where it hit everything on the way down, and DH has made 4 trips to get another. They didn't have any in stock to start with and then because we wanted to keep her original number that has caused problems. I like her to have one then she can keep it in her pocket at all times. This afternoon he came back from the shop happy with everything sorted, thank goodness. He is an extremely patient man 
??.
. Does he have a name kitty?
