My brother in law is from Lancashire and when we first met him none of us could understand a word!
When my sister was teaching in Lancashire the kids often couldn't understand her.
She would say 'Look at your book'
They would say 'Luke at your Buke'
Jug was pronounced joog (oo as in book)
She had to change the way she spoke!!

There is something quite strange going on in my living room.
It's all quiet in here - no tv or radio on - but every now and again I hear what sounds like a donkey braying!!!:confused:
Only a small donkey, because it's not that loud and I certainly can't see a donkey!
It seems to be coming from different parts of the room so whatever it is must be moving around....very strange.
I am wondering if it could possibly be a frog that has come in while the doors were open today but I don't think I've ever heard a frog make a noise like that.
I am going to get my fishing/butterfly net and have a look for my visitor!!!
I'll be back..............................................or will I?o_O
You have encountered the long lost ghost of a dead donkey from the period of 1614.[emoji33]

Well I've just found my intruder!!
It's my mobile phone!!:D:D:D:D
No wonder the sound was moving around it was in my pocket!!
I've only had this phone for a couple for months - it's a cheap spare I bought when the touch screen on my other went berserk.
I haven't heard it before but it has a weird battery low signal that does sound exactly like a donkey with a sore throat!
So mystery solved! I can rest easy in my bed tonight!:rolleyes::)
Oh that is hilarious. Love it.

All caught up now. Good Saturday all. Have fun. We are going home this morning. And as much as it was nice to get away, I miss my bed. My neck did not like the hotels pillows and my back did not like the mattress. Sigh I sound like an old woman. Oh well, me and my bed will be happy to meet up again later. Ciao for now.

Have a safe trip back, Carol
There's no place like home!!

Good morning all. A bright but chilly Saturday here.
I am going to try to go for a walk in my shoes today - if I can find a pair that fits my newly shaped foot comfortably.
Time to try to move on from the boot I think.
If that goes OK I am going to try driving next week.
I'm getting very impatient and I have lots to do that I need my car for.
So fingers crossed all will be well.
Hope everyone has a good Saturday!!

Good luck with those new shoes....are they perhaps blue and suede? Happy Saturday.

Invest in binoculars and take them with you on trips. There’s always bird life around to identify :)
Okay. We are home and I managed to get the bird songs uploaded to youtube. Excuse the video quality but it was more about the sound of the birds rather than the scenery. [emoji23]

Try not to push yourself too much. You don't want to set yourself back.
