denshaw 2,878 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Went to the Playhouse last night to see Wonderland, a play about the striking Nottingham miners. Very good play even if the accents weren't quite right. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,617 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Went in the garden around 4.30 this afternoon..  it was quite warm and the  ground is just right for weeding, so worked for about an hour as it was still light enough....... I love it that the evenings are getting lighter now.  The cats loved my being outside and were 'helping' me by rolling over on the soil where I was working.  I had to keep moving them along.  They get quite frivolous when the weather is warm and we are working outside!   1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,617 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 I'm going to try and do around an hour every day when the weather's good, I think, then I'll get all the way round the garden before the Summer arrives! Â 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Carni, the toilets at the Embankment were closed several years ago due to unsavoury behaviour by certain members of society. Drunkeness, drug taking and folk participating in various sexual perversions. Also many others throughout the city have been closed too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

About 7000+ people in the arena and all ages. Very interesting talk with some pretty good graphics. Some of the physics around Black Holes and stuff lost me a bit but what struck me most was that he showed that we are effectively the diversity which comes from the chaos created when a low entropy system ( early universe) begins to transform to a high entropy state... ( end of time).. or summat.  It won't be happening for a week or two yet though....  Another point made strongly. This is our planet. It belongs to us all and it's the only one we've got. Time to stop quabbling over who gets to play with the toys and learn to share. He made the point that all the science and statistics say there ought to be many civilisations out there, but that none have been found. So maybe they don't survive the rise of technology which would enable them to do so. We are heading that way. Fast. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Time to get my coat on into the car and head out into the country lanes for our daily adventure. Pick Daughter and Granddaughter up, even they enjoy getting lost amongst the hedges and lanes of the deep countryside. We always say there can't be many lanes we haven't investigated within a twenty five mile radius of home, but we always find one. Sun shine here in West Mids, hope you have some where ever you are. Oh dear, just had a thought..........I expect we will have to eat some cake somewhere en route. Well some ones got to do it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,909 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Just eat it and say to yourself. "I only tasted it, someone else ate it" You never know it might workand it might not but it's worth a piece of cake for trying.You could try this when you get home. Sorry just trying to help you get over feeling guilty. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,617 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 I've just done an hour 's weeding in beautiful sunshine and transplanted a big clump of snowdrops to where I want them to be next year.  The cats are still being frivolous (I do like that word!!) and the pigeons have been playing 'kiss chase' with each other .... or whatever the avian equivalent is.  If we get some really cold, freezing weather next month, there's going to be some shivering baby birds in their little nests, whose mummies and daddies will need lots of extra food to keep them alive.. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,909 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Glad to hear that U.K. Is also having some good weather. The sun here has been shining all day and the dogs have been sunbathing and didn't want to come in. Just taken my daughter to work and noticed the temperature, 17 c. It must have been at least 22-23 c during the day. It's false though and locals say it's a bad sign when it gets hot at this time of year. We should have expected an iced snap but we're still waiting for temperature to fall between 10-15 c. If this continues over the weekend we could get a decent tan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,909 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 PF ginger cake and lemon curd tarts. Mmmm can see myself forgetting about eliminating white flour and sugar. I can go mad on the ginger though, I love it. I make a ginger crunch which doesn't last 5 minutes it's so good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,665 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Nonna, the kitchen smells lovely of ginger and mixed spice, also made some brandy snaps and a few ginger bread men  Rog  Edit, heres some I made earlier  2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,909 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Wish I could smell it but I can imagine . The two smells compliment each other. How big were the gb men? I have the whole family in different sizes. I missed our gb baking this year. Only made a couple of houses and a few trees and men. I did make loads of the little houses that rest over the edge of a mug. Sold them all and those left I gave to the nurses where my mum is. I've been baking Bara Brith and Selkirk Bannock in the last few days. They've gone now 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,665 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 They are about four inches (100mm), made a load some time ago for the children at the village hall coffee morning, Here's the ginger cake, smells lovely. going to have a piece later with some hot custard   Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,528 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Walked in our bedroom earlier today and saw a little Robin sitting on the bed.  I was as startled as he was, shut the door so he couldn’t escape to the rest of the house and opened the bedroom window a little more so he quickly found his way out again.  We had a Starling fall down the chimney a few years ago but never had a bird fly in through any open window before.  2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
