I'd better check my emails then!
I may not have completed signing yet.

What you have to remember is that England was invaded by France in the year 1066. And French words entered the English language way back then and probably before. France is only 20 miles (30km) from England across the sea. The two countries have invaded, fought and traded with each other for many centuries. The English language in England is influenced by our many invaders... and then we turned tables and explored newer nations like the USA and Canada.

French phrases, Latin phrases and words with roots in many languages have been part of spoken English for many centuries.

I have to post this again:

They are like “pleeeeeeeaaaase turn out the lights mom” [emoji23][emoji23]

LOL. Did they kick you out of the bed?

Invest in binoculars and take them with you on trips. There’s always bird life around to identify

Good idea.

I did not see any torts. And the birds were too high. But I took a video with the sounds of the birds. I will post it later as it is taking long to upload to youtube.

I’m going to ask his specialist about it when we go back... relief for a 5 year old is HUGE

Happy Friday all. Finally back to my own coffee, coffee pot and favorite mug (pix of a Toucan balancing a pint with the saying “Lovely Day for a Guinness”).

Amazing how the garden has changed over the past two weeks - dandelions are up and blooming, plants budding, and everything is dry! A few weeks ago our back garden was squishy, often attempting to suck ones shoes off if not careful.

Enjoy

Before long you will be crying for rain. [emoji6]

You take Guinness with your coffee? Hard-core!!!

I saw your name, so you're good.

It's nice to go away but it's always lovely to come home again.
I'm sure Mr Sully will soon help keep the dandies down.

Please take care of that laptop, Lyn! We're forever grateful to your nephew for giving it to you when you were AWOL for a while

Thank you Lena.
It's about time I started looking to buy my own again, but this one is working fine at the moment.

Lovely views and the colours of the flowers are beautiful
What's the ball of mud? Is it an ant nest of some sort?

Hubby says that there is nothing to do here. Lol he gets bored very easily.

I am going to take a walk around the neighbourhood and walk off breakfast. Later I want to visit the olive farm and take a walk around the mountain area to see if I can see any torts. Although it is overcast so they may not come out. We will see. Enjoy your Fridays and chat later all.

Sometimes “nothing to do” is very nice. But like you, I’d be thrilled with just new scenery! Have fun

Happy Friday all!
I have had to log in 3 times so far this morning.
I see some others have been having this problem so I have followed the advice of one of them to tick the 'stay logged in' box and see if that helps.
It's only started since the issue with the ads.
Anyone else having this problem?

 

[Lyn W]

I have to disappear for a little while so will have to test the 'stay logged in' theory later.
TTFN

Sometimes it seems like they are trying! The cat actually belongs to my daughter but she finds her way in here often especially when hubby is gone. But these guys are both 8-9 years old and very set in their ways. (Grumpy asses!)

No problems here.. but I’m on my phone..

 

[EllieMay]

Good morning! Thank you all for the compliments and well wishes for my son. I am hoping today is a turning point. He’s not awake yet so we’ll see in a bit. In the meantime, HAPPY FRIDAY!

Excellent as ever from the HH team I didn’t realise they’d made it overseas. I kind of assumed their bias was too British
