Jack, thank you for sharing Blue's password adventures. Laughed until I cried. Made my day.

Me too Jack -  hilarious

Have fun in Chapel-en-le-Frith.  One of my regrets is that we never visited the Peaks.  It looks like a great area to visit.  I hope David doesn’t get you to fix up a Bike before you go touring.

Thanks Jack    Packed my little bag and raring to go!  Barbs' husband John is picking me up in half an hour to run me to Milton Keynes station.  My plan was to return home on Saturday morning but there's a wretched rail strike.  I've had to cut my trip short and come home on Friday afternoon.  Hopping mad but there's nowt I can do about it

It's a shame you never got to the Peak District.  It's gorgeous.  Lots to see and the scenery is wonderful.  I don't think David will be letting me loose with a spanner any time soon

See you soon.

Hi Jack

I'm home in one piece.  Had a smashing couple of days   We walked along the tops at Burbage yesterday for two hours.  Beautiful views and the heather was in full bloom.  We had a rather good curry with David's daughter and son-in-law last night Had another walk this morning near David's and then had some lunch before I got the train home.  Glad to get home for a rest - I think my legs are a couple of inches shorter

Hopefully, I'll be a bit perkier by tomorrow   I'll be back for a wrestle with John's rebus and a proper post.

Hi Pen,

I’m glad you had such a great holiday even if it was so short.

We really enjoyed our visit by the round-Australia caravaners.  A couple of days of good food, good wine and good conversations.  We probably should have added a few good walks.

I found a couple of cartoons I can identify with to welcome you back with:

Smee again, Pen

To pronounce English like the proverbial Irishman, you need to speak fast.  For example, solve it and say it quickly.

Picture 3.  Not the live animal, but the product you buy in the butcher’s shop.
Picture 4.  Past tense.

Hi Jack

I got John's rebus reasonably quickly but your fish caused me a bit of trouble   A clever and rather sneaky rebus   Great cartoons

I'm pleased you had a very enjoyable visit with your nomadic caravanning friends   Where are they off to next?

My rebus is an old film.

7 (#4 + #3) #3 #3 #4


Please lose the first letter of picture four and change the first letter of picture five.  One homophone and please pretend it's all on one line.
There's a good possibility I may have used this before but I hope it's different enough not to matter!

     

I'm still a bit knacked from all that walking   Leave you with this funny Irish saying!

In heaven there is no Guinness, that's why we drink ours here!

[Hobbit]

Coooeee Linda!  Don't know if you're tuning in today.  Have you spotted that there's a new series of our favourite programme starting tomorrow night?    Eve just messaged to give me the heads up!

[Linda]

I didn't know Pen but have just checked the planner and there it is!  That's my Sunday evening sorted.  Bottle of dry white chilling.  Perfect!

Hope you enjoyed your break and that your poor little legs are recovering from all your walking. 

Will report back on Midsomer next week - hope it's a good 'un!  Watched an old Lewis last night and had forgotten how good they were. 

Builder has just knocked off for the day so I'm heading to the loo while the going's good!! 

[Hobbit]

Oh Linda I'm laughing my head off   I hope you haven't been sitting there with your legs crossed all day!!

I had a lovely break thanks   My poor little legs are gradually getting back to normal!

Funnily enough David and I watched the first ever episode of Lewis on Wednesday night.  Fortunately, I couldn't remember whodunit!  We'll compare notes on Midsomer on Monday. Like you I hope it's a good 'un.  It's an added bonus for me that it's Bank Holiday

Hi Pen,

You got hooked too? 

My caravanning friends are on the home leg of their trip.  They are staying with one of their daughters south of Coffs Harbour for a few days.  If they wished to, they could be home in Bowral tomorrow, but they have other friends and family on the way, so they will do it in several short trips with stays in between and get home about mid-September.

Carol suggested that I should make a Rebus based on the title of a 17^th Century painting, a part of which is reproduced below.
 


The title was also used  in a 12-volume roman-fleuve by an English writer published between 1951 and 1975 to critical acclaim.  This was also adapted later as a 4 episode TV series.  Some of you by this stage will not need pictures  .  For those that do:

One line . A definite and an indefinite article are not pictured

Hi Jack

I got well and truly hooked

Thanks to Carol for a very excellent suggestion for a rebus   and not a fish in sight

My rebus is a song from the 1960's.

#4 #3 #4 #5 #3 #2


Please use one word from picture two and lose the last letter from picture five.  You need two consecutive letters from picture six (nine letters in total) and please pretend it's all on one line.  It will come as no surprise to you that I was unable to locate the cat in picture two

          

Damn it's just started raining   Better get my washing off the line!

Well I watched the latest Pen and was underwhelmed.    Not the worst episode I've seen but certainly not up to the Tom days!  Holly Willoughby?  Why?  What did you think?

[Hobbit]

Surprise surprise Linda!  I feel exactly the same   It was disappointing and didn't set my world on fire   I thought I was imagining things when I saw Holly Willoughby!  I actually did a double take   I can't stand the wretched woman!  As you rightly say not the worst episode but a let down.  Not a patch on the early ones with Tom.  I'd far rather watch a repeat of one of his old ones!
