CRISP LOVERS ! ! !
Pretend to be a tiny person by pouring all the crisps from a multi-pack bag into the big bag they came in and then eating them out of that.

Yes, life is good. For me too. Slept long, have had a good breakfast while being online on TFO.
Later some garden work but not to much and then I`ve been visited by some new customers for cat pension. They wanted to see the rooms for the cats. The young woman ( both students ) only spoke English and I spoke English with her too.
Thanks to TFO that my English increases steadily !

Hope they liked the rooms.
Glad your English is getting better, I think it is, too.
Mind you, some of the stuff we say here is rubbish!

Good evening all. I have caught up by skimming through around 30 pages of posts

We have been up into Haute Languedoc today - the mountain roads were over 1000m/3300'

Views were disappointing this morning due to low cloud, but it was so peaceful. No traffic noise at all

In the afternoon we descended a little and the sun came out. We were rewarded by loads of birds of prey and butterflies. We saw a Holden Eagle really close - they're huge. There were also Buzzards, Honey Buzzards, Kestrels and Short-Toed (aka Snake) Eagles

Son took this of a Hummingbird Hawk Moth when we were having our picnic lunch

I took this of a pretty big green lizard in the Ladies toilets

This lake is for hydro-electricity generation

Great pictures! I had never heard of a hummingbird hawk moth! I can imagine the people who named it saying it's a hummingbird, no it's a hawk, no it's a moth!

POWER COMPANIES ! ! !
After a blackout, wait until midnight before turning on the power again.
That way, everybody's alarm clocks and videos will be automatically reset.

I like this idea! Our power went out about a week ago, and I forgot to reset the clock next to my bed for about 3 days. I couldn't tell if it was time to get up or not.

 

[Big Charlie]

Thanks, John.
I'm here with her, but she doesn't seem to understand that I've been away.
Strange.

I'm sorry she has to go through this. Best wishes for her speedy recovery. It's good you are there with her.

 

[Big Charlie]

dad's getting home!!!

cellulitis, off IV and on to tablets

Great news!

 

[Big Charlie]

Be sure to pay your exorcist. Otherwise, you might be repossessed.

Sorry, we just seem to keep missing each other at the moment.
Speak tomorrow, hopefully

Well, that's two of us!
Let's write to our respective electric companies and suggest it to them.

By golly, you're right!
I quickly googled the origin of the word "drivel," hoping to (mischievously) catch you out in case it's origin was German or something, but the word is indeed derived from Middle and Old English.
