How's your day?

Glad it's the weekend. I'm off for a bottomless brunch at Pitcher and Piano today with my old work friends. Thoroughly looking forward to it. Hoping it stays dry!

[Oztalgian 3,324]

Last time I was back in Nottingham we went to the Pitcher and Piano. I was very surprised with what it was like inside and I must say it is a better use of the building than what it was originally used for.

Pubs certainly attract a larger ‘congregation’ than most churches these days. I only go to my local pub once a week for a ‘religious experience’. I did put £14.70 into the collection. Part of that was giving unto others. A pint of beer is approaching the price of a bottle of communion wine!

Ref unwanted cats in gardens has anyone tried one of these metal cat scarers ? I have them at the allotment and they seem to work ! I did test one on my cats and they ran off so worth a go. Amazon have them.

After 5 days of Man Flu I was well enough this morning for a 20 min ride and 20 min row on the indoor machines. Still congested but rowing soon clears it up.

Re cats - oddly enough I like our 2 cats. Big Samson and sleek Panto. Big Samson is my mate and I protect him from Patch our Jack Russell. We spend a fortune on them in vet fees etc., in fact Panto cost us £1400 for hip surgery after he was run over. As long as we have them they will receive our care and attention - I just wish that we did not have them.

Lovely walk in the sunshine around the castle garden before the clouds took over

Whale meet again? Don’t know where ………

[Brew 5,422]

It's a baleencing act and if you keep on with these fishy tails you'll soon have me blubbering...

[LizzieM 9,514]

We’re booked on an Alaska cruise later in the year, wonder what our chances of seeing a real whale are? 

[MRS B 532]

Lizzie, we saw loads off Cape Cod on our New England trip last year. They are a sight to behold. Beautiful creatures. Am sure you will see some.

[plantfit 7,626]

You mean this one isn't real?

[benjamin1945 16,175]

Lizzie enjoy your cruise duck......as mrs B states i'm sure you will see a whale or two............

Did you know that Russia sold Alaska to the USA back in the 1800s....for something like only 7 million dollars.....bet they wish they still had it now.....

Russia offered to sell Alaska to the United States in 1859, believing the United States would off-set the designs of Russia's greatest rival in the Pacific, Great Britain.

Please post some pictures Lizzie. It is a place I always wanted to go to but never made it and  we dont travel very far now. The train journey across Canada was the other one that I wanted to go on , so if this is on TV I always watch it.

@ Plantfit and @troggI will if someone gives me a bit of tuition as I don’t have a clue how to post pics nor videos. Years ago I could do it and remember posting pics of our dogs and our old MF tractor on various topics.  The problem I have these days is that I only use my iPad and before I was using the PC.  

[MargieH 7,611]

I think it’s more difficult posting pictures on here than on fb or messenger.  I used to be able to do it but not any  more.

[plantfit 7,626]

Just get on a hosting site (I use post image) don't cost anything, download your picture to whatever site you chose, right click on the icon for "posting to forums" then left click when you back on whatever post you on nottstalgia, I'm sure someone will be along with a better description than I just wrote but just play about with it you'll soon get the hang of it

If memory serves me correctly, it was yourself and LizzieM who showed me how to post pix via Postimage. That was back in 2019.
