What Are You Doing Now?

[IceMaiden]

I watched a marvellous episode of the Persuaders earlier that seemed to have taken its entire storyline and inspiration from two of the Barney books. A deserted cottage falling to bits being used for hiding counterfeit money, strange noises and lights to frighten people away, a hidden landing space for an aircraft on the nearby landowner's farm and a detective in disguise investigating it all. On top of that, the little cottage had a well in the garden that when they climbed down had a secret passage in it leading to the room where the villains were producing and packing the money. It was like Rockingdown and Ring O' Bells merged together (with a little Mystery Moor for good measure), I wonder if the writer behind the episode was a fan?

It certainly sounds very Barney-ish!

Exams finished and now I'm free!!!!!!!! Can't believe this year is over and that I have actually finished the Junior Certificate. Just going to enjoy my holidays after working so much this year..

Hooray! Well done, María Esther — congratulations on completing your Junior Certificate. I bet that feels good! Enjoy your well-deserved holiday.

Non-stop visitors the last few weeks, we're practically qualified guides to the Preselli Hills and the beautiful City of St David's... hurrah for a completely uneventful weekend ahead to catch up! Warm congratulations Maria Esther, on completion of your Junior Certificate, hugely well done - have a lovely holiday!

Getting ready to set off for Holmfirth in Yorkshire, which is only an hour up the road. We'll be visiting the Last of the Summer wine TV locations, inc homes of Nora Batty & Compo, & Sid's cafe. Been a few times before, but it's nice to go back & wander around the surrounding countryside for a few hours. Beautiful.

** Well done, Maria Esther. Freedom at last! Enjoy your hols!

Having some cake and ice cream with our granddaughter who is staying with us for the weekend. Don't tell her parents!

[Eddie Muir]

Enjoy your trip, Number 6. It sounds great!

Your cake and ice cream with your granddaughter sounds great too, John. We have similar "meals" when our two grandsons come to stay.

Thanks Eddie & Pete! A great time was had touring in & around the Last of the Summer wine country. The rain was around somewhere, but we never saw any! Next visit will be to Heartbeat country, hopefully next Saturday or Sunday.

I'm sitting in bed feeling awfully sorry for myself. With 10.25 hours left until I came off on maternity leave I headed to work yesterday evening and managed to fall quite badly off the pavement and onto the road.Ended up at A&E and I've seriously sprained one ankle and bashed the opposite knee.

So I'm pretty much bed-bound at the moment apart from slow careful trips to the loo.

[Rob Houghton]

Looking on the bright side - plenty of time to sit back and read EB books (and baby magazines etc!)

[Fiona1986]

I do have a big pile of books that need read! Unfortunately I was in so much pain last night I hardly slept (can't have anything except paracetamol) and I don't think I could focus on a book yet. Here's hoping in a few days I can get stuck in and work through some of the pile though.

[number 6]

Blimey, Fiona! I hope you're feeling better soon & your ankle quickly improves. There's nothing worse than being confined to bed, even if it's just for a while. Like Rob said, at least you've got time to do some quality reading! Take care.
