I had to give that game up rovi, too much red I'm afraid

[rovi70] 17/10/2023 11:28

Good morning sun slight wind two standard roses having third bloom Pansy s smiling back so it's a good day. Except for the share portfolio still red is a vibrant colour.

Good Morning.
Lucky you with the blistering heat, we have a hard frost this morning and cars need de-icing. Frosts have come early this year.

Morning

A blistering seven degrees here but dry, good to have a day off yesterday but back to the grindstone today

[2gekko] 16/10/2023 22:31

Alright alright, there's no need to get hot under the collar about the tumble drier gags (it's the best I could think of)

[2gekko] 16/10/2023 16:12

I'm pleased to report that the fire in the pub kitchen has been put out and not much damage was done but does anyone know where we can get a new tumble drier

[rovi70] 16/10/2023 10:49

Good morning all Sun and 9 degrees. Wife at art classes. Music ? loud bit of jazz.

[2gekko] 16/10/2023 10:17

Morning

It's a mere four degrees here but no rain forecast and I'm off today, daughters coming round later and wants to order Dominoes, I'm not keen but will go with it

[jonjonck] 16/10/2023 08:40

Good Morning.
Not quite so cold this morning at 5 degrees.
I wonder what I can fix today. The Tumble drier is all sorted and running like new again and really enjoyed servicing it.

[2gekko] 15/10/2023 11:10

Same here and it feels warmer than 9 degrees, I shall go for a walk in the sun

[rovi70] 15/10/2023 10:34

Good morning all. The sun is out clear blue sky and 9 degrees supposedly going up to 11 degrees although our south facing garden's temperature gauge is showing 14 degrees at the moment. Coffee laced with amaretto to start the day then ???? No plans.

[jonjonck] 15/10/2023 08:02

Talking of bitter being cold it is 2 degrees this morning.

Good morning. Weather report says minus 1.

[rovi70] 14/10/2023 17:41

Don't like my bitter to cold.

[jonjonck] 14/10/2023 17:33

As it was really sunny we took a drive out to Montrose. Oh my goodness, it was a bitter bitter cold wind there.

[2gekko] 14/10/2023 13:50

Sounds like a good option, I've just had my neighbour round shouting at me because I had asked his daughter who lives next to A about fixing her leaking gutter which is leaking onto A's garage roof, I told him to calm down and go home as he's about 75 and could have had a heart attack

[jonjonck] 14/10/2023 10:28

Forgot we also have the Rookery which overlooks the golf courses. It is really expensive and more a restaurant. Afternoon tea is £25. I prefer to go to the Coop and buy some sandwiches and some cake slices, get a takeaway coffee and go sit on the sea front. About £5 and just as good.

[jonjonck] 14/10/2023 10:13

Heater element for dryer delivered. Like gold dust to get at a sensible price as obsolete. I am enjoying refurbishing this tumble dryer.

[2gekko] 14/10/2023 09:28

Morning

The golf club cafe sounds good and I can picture that, naturally expensive of course, it's similar at the lakes and nice to watch the wildlife but the eyes water when presented with the bill

[jonjonck] 14/10/2023 07:56

Good Morning.
Actually we do have a very good cafe in Carsnooty but it has become very expensive. Nice option is the Bothy on the golf courses, you can sit outside and watch the golfers or the numerous birds in the area... but again expensive because the golfers are willing to pay inflated prices and they seem to have stopped local people discount.
We also have a cafe at the back of leisure centre with a large outside area which always looks very busy.

[2gekko] 14/10/2023 01:30

Oh thats not good, we are spoilt for choice here but I don't use then anyway, that said the lakes devolpment is very good

[jonjonck] 14/10/2023 01:03

We had a Costa open in Carsnooty but has now closed. Nope, no chains in Arbroath unless you count McDonalds or Morrisons Supermarket cafe.

[2gekko] 13/10/2023 23:25

Costa perhaps, there must be at least one coffee chain, we have all of them here not that I ever use them

You are approaching new ground with that gag rovi
