We have this bush in the garden .When it comes into bloom it looks glorious and it's just starting now .However I have no idea what it is . It was here when we moved in nearly nine years ago .
Any offers ?

Morning...it's sunny and blue skies but .....wait for it neti....it was 2C, real feel of minus 2C earlier, there was a fine skin of ice on one of the birdbaths.

I never know what day it is recently. I don't know whether to have a haircut or go fishing.

good morning all its coooooooold here

[shaneystar2]

Morning all
It's a cuppa soup day. Real feel of of 3C here.Bit of a shock to the system.Bright and sunny though.I was up at four but went back to bed with tea and toast .I suddenly woke up feeling shaky and think I must have had a bad dream of some sort.

Its 22° here and I am in my trackie. Loving it. Cous Cous done house clean. Live this time of year. Am just getting an Xmas parcel together for Hija to open on Xmas day. Its a bit heavy, will cost a fortune!!

[netibiza]

Robi for some reason I did not enjoy Holby last night, none of my favourites were ( that should be was but doesn't sound right) in it!!

[jno]

it's been a bit nippy out there but sunny all day. Of course the day is now ending and the night closing in. I have been to the Queen's House, as one does, and very nice it is too. Of course having a road running through it is a frightful bore but it is now pedestrian-only.

I'd like that house.

[jno]

it's very regal, and it has hot water and swereage and everything (no pool, though).

[woofgang]

there’s plenty of swearage here too.

[netibiza]

Good morning. Quite a bit of swearage here at times.
Off to new hairdressers today as Hija prepaid 4 haircuts, if they are swearage making I shan't go again!!

[shaneystar2]

Morning all
Very chilly out there today ,only 2C .
That's an interesting place Jno.I've only ever been to the Maritme Museum at Greenwich many moons ago.
There's no swearage here .
Yours
Pinnochio.... :)

Morning all...there's always much swearage here, it's 20 degrees lower than Ibiza, my puta's playing up and no doubt other annoyances will occur before the day's out.

That's a posh place jno, it would do nicely as twilight home for bewildered biddies. You can get married there, I'll bear it in mind.

Holby wasn't the best episode this week neti but it goes like that sometimes.

[woofgang]

Good morning all. Its cold here and I have just had hot chocolate for breakfast. It had squirty cream on it. Because.

[netibiza]

23° here today pleasant. Forecast from Sunday is 10° lower which will suit me.
Been to new hairdressers and its ok, same style but different!! Still prefer my Chinaman.
Getting hija's Xmas box wrapped and ready for postage. And the forms I've had to fill for delivery to Dubai! Hope to get that off tomorrow.

[jno]

cold here, even though I have two pairs of socks on.

Hmm, I see Uniqlo are cranking up their thermals from Extra last year to Ultra this

http://www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/181948

Useful if you get lost among the snow monkeys of Japan, I expect.

[woofgang]

Did you see the Joanna Lumley in Japan series? It was completely brilliant.

[jno]

nooo... how was her underwear? Thermal enough?

[shaneystar2]

She had lovely coats and hats :)
I saw that ,it was very good .I loved the cranes very early in the morning coming out of the mist .
It's been very chilly here today but it's quite hot over in News ..lol.
Do some of 'em ever take a comfort break or do their nails or something.
I'm off up the dancers with my hwb and a cosy mystery .Night all.

[woofgang]

yes she did Shaney, I was very jealous. Fireworks tonight so much swearage here.

[jno]
