Did not watch the baking program last night. Instead, I'd been channel surfing just before 8, and stopped at QVC shopping. There was an hour-long program devoted to Thornton's chocolates. The (slim) presenter was sampling everything, and doing her best to cybernetically convey the experience, of the soft pralines and crunchy brazil nuts, and toffee made from an original secret recipe. The C word was mentioned numerous times. Some of the boxes had a special C design, with a little label where you can write the name of the recipient, or 'self'. Stocks of the dark selections seemed to be running out particularly fast.
Sky News were giving almost continuous coverage of the hunt for the little girl (and still are).
Morning all, Just been outside with binoculars watching an amazing skein of geese coming in. Had jim-jams on and lady who lives at the back must have seen me when opening her curtains. Oh well, give everyone something to talk about. We live near Martin Mere , a R.S.P.B. sanctury and we are in their flight path. Expect there will be more to come.
Found a dead vine weevil in the bottom of one of my African violet containers yesterday wondering what it's been up to.
Also watching news - hope they find that little girl.
Morning all, lovely day in Huddersfield currently, driving in this morning there eats a wonderful sun rise as I crested the hills from Lancashire.
Hollie, great news on the at. if the weather is bad this winter, you may find that she will gravitate back towards the house, but you seem to have achieved a good status quo.
Couldn't watch the baking last night as no BT Vision and can't currently record or use iplayer. Don't tell me who left, I have to find some time in work to watch it or wait until Friday when hopefully we will have all services back to normal. Waiting for a new hub, but managed to get a reduction in cost Into the bargain.
Soggy morning-golf had been planned but cancelled because pain forecast-so as is the law -no pain
The trouble is with these searches there is usually nothing to report so it just a load of talking heads-I see they got a local church member and mayor on this morning.
Glyn you are in the IT wilderness must be awful
Don't watch cooking shows no spoilers from me-but there was something in the paper about a jazzy coat?
Hi Kate , Yes did it yesterday but my concern being I have so many plants in there and I don't know how long it's been in the conservatory. Haven't found any plants that have been notched and checked in all the pots and nooks and crannies. Hope it was just the one.

WHAT’S the best thing about being aged 104? No peer pressure.
DID you hear about the bloke who was sacked from the dodgems? He sued for fun-fare dismissal.
TWO peanuts walk into a bar. One was a salted.
A PAIR of rough-looking jump leads walk into a pub. The barman says: “I’ll serve you — but don’t start anything.”
A SKY dish marries an ordinary TV aerial. The wedding is nothing special but the reception’s great.
Good- as long as she seems happier and you are happy-all is well

Gary I love chocolate but could not watch that programme without eating a couple of bars
Jean you know that you must repot the African Violet in fresh compost today?
Glyn it is amazing how quickly we get to rely on all this technology.
I also did not watch TGBBO too busy watching football, now that was dramatic.
Morning all plebs and plebesses
