It's a lovely sunny day here again so I might go a walk later, after the housework is done
I love your pic Pete, i hope your CO reading is good this morning Enjoy your walk Bella, no walking uphills for me though, I'd never manage it are you going a walk today Andi, or is it the gym, I don't know where you lot get your energy from, i wouldn't mind some of it
Its a lovely sunny day here in yorkshire. I am planning on a short walk today. I am going to try a walk near where I am going to live. Its called Rawdon Billing. ( clump of trees on a hill)
dont think I will manage the hill just yet. The picture is the billing and thats the view I will soon have from my flat .
Good morning everybody, what a lovely pic to start the day. Its a cold but sunny day here in Scotland and I am going out soon to do the week 1 run 3 of the couch to 5k so I think I should get the emergency services on standby in case I collapse
Hope everyone is feeling good and looking forward to the weekend.
Linda xx

I was planning on getting up early and going running but it was just sooooo snuggly in bed that I couldn't do it so I WILL do it tomorrow. There, I've said it now so I have to! Linda, enjoy your run in the sun, do you have to do any hills on your route?
I am calling today my rest day and will go for a walk this afternoon with my friend and dog.
Jilly, that is a view to die for and a goal for you to aim for - you may get up there by bluebell time with a bit of training!
It's a lovely sunny day in Leicestershire, I have finished doing the housework and it's so nice to have the windows open, no heating on and a bit of fresh air wafting through the house. A walk or maybe a bike ride may be in order today.
My husband hasn't shaved for a week and already has a beard. He thinks he looks like Russell Crow out of Gladiator, more like Bill Oddie I think. Have a good day Xx

Hi ya Jan, my cats a long haired one too she was a stray a couple of years ago, and her fur was all knotted so I tried to cut some of the erm tufts out, gosh did I know it, she was definitely not a happy bunny, due to the claw marks and bites that I got huh thats flippin Women for ya, you try to help them and what do you get ! a load of bashin still it was worth it
She, Monkey that is, looks after herself now, just give her a brush when she's malting, to help her along the way speak soon
Hi all hope you are all enjoying your day. Well my run was a bit rubbish today and I didnt do as well as the last time but hey ho just need to keep trying. main thing for me is to stay away from the ciggies so if I can cope with that I can cope with the odd rotten run.
If someone had told me in at the new year I would have been off the cigs for 6 weeks and running at the start of march I would have thought they were insane. Just goes to show we never really know what we can achieve until we try.
There are so many fantastic and inspirational folks on this site that I am becoming quite addicted to it. Will be needing computer replacement therapy So thank you all
Have a good smoke free weekend folks
Linda xx

nice one Lin
Emjay did you hear that gal !!!! you will have to look into CRT now
I was up at 8.30am but went back to bed till 10, lazy I know but I thought its saturday why get up early, the days are long enough as it is!!
Had a productive time though, soup and curry sauce bubbling on hob and kitchen lovely and clean
Going to fill up the car with the boxes of stuff for the boot sale tomorrow in a bit and then set to hoovering etc coz wont want to do much after the boot sale tomorrow!!
Hi everyone, back from the walk now and feeling very tired - more from being dragged round a load of charity shops before walking than the walk itself! Luckily enough, though, the sun decided to put in an appearance whilst out which made it feel slightly warmer when we came out of the trees.
Sarah, will you have to be up with the lark for your boot sale tomorrow or do they do them at a civilised time?
Well the sun came out and it's been the most beautiful afternoon in Gloucestershire!! Just settling down in front of the fire nice cuppa coffee to hand
The car is totally full and can fit no more, thankfully Im really small and have the drivers seat pulled right forward!
Cant fit the hubby and kids in the car so the taking another one thats going to take a few things with them in that.
We will leave at 10.30 to get there early and set up and prob be there till 2pm or there about.
John we have one pair of boots that we are selling and hopefully will get them sold
Hoping that we get rid of the whole lot, we aint sold stuff at one for YEARS so hopefully people will think of us as 'new' sellers but there are 70 other tables selling stuff too so we'll see
Wow, there's a prog on bbc2 about a tiger at Ranthambore national park in India at the mo. That's where we went last year for a tiger safari but the park as closed due to some kind of dispute. We could still go to the fort though and they're showing that.
Wish I'd known that was on Andi i would have watched it, it's such a shame the park was closed then will you manage to go back someday,it would be amazing to see tigers in the wild
Hi Bella, when I saw my pt the other day he said he wants to see my food diary for the next week. I cursed him cos I said I had a pizza in the freezer that keeps winking at me every time I open it so that would mean I can't eat it this week. I've decided I'll eat it on Thursday evening before I go on holiday then it'll be gone. Home made pizza sounds like it's probably better though cos at least you know what's in it then.
Hope made pizza is super Andi, dough base as thin as u like, fresh sauce and not too much mozzarella!!! The downside is that it has to be eaten with a nice glass of Rioja holidays lucky you, going anywhere nice?
Actually is Monky the name of your cat?? My youngest dog is called Bella (in picture!) my actual name is Suze ... . But then that makes two of us online!! So for ease maybe i best stick with My pic!!!
Hey Peetie Weetie, I don't think a boy dog would be called Bella somehow - mind you, there are some weird people around so you'd never know, would you?
I know it's ridiculously early and a Caturday night but like that picture at the beginning of the thread, I've got to go to bed otherwise I might not be able to get up for my run in the morning.
Nite nite Pete, Suze and everyone, and sweet dreams. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nite nite Andi, sleep well and get focused on that run tomorrow luvs ya Andi a doo xxxxx
Bella is a girl Sue, she was only 4 mths when that pic was taken... She was very cross with me for telling her off for digging up the garden! She's now 14 months and has the longest whiskers, fluffy ears and tail. I have two other collies Alfie and Harry. Alfie's my old boy (now 14) and Harry 7. I adopted Harry after he'd been run over by a car. Had to have a leg removed, but he does just fine... Then there's the bantams.. But that another story!!!
Pete, you are a total Monkey, what else could I possibly call u
Aww you have hens. I would love hens but we have a Rottweiller and two other mongrel dogs, one of which is mental so I don't think hens would stand much of a chance in our garden. Also spotted just before Christmas on the fields at the back of us - 2 Llama's, now they came as quite a surprise to my husband who was up there trying to find out what mad Sam was finding so interesting at our fence. He got the impression someone was staring at him, he turned round to find this Llama looking at him very inquisitively. We also found a black pig once up there, one of those with the weird squashed face, so wrinkled you can't see their eyes properly, never seen it since. You really do start to wonder if you're hallucinating when you step out of our back garden and onto the bridle path. OK, so it's slightly rural round here but only 10 minutes drive from two towns and Manchester only 10 miles away, so giant pigs and Llama's aren't really the norm
Hi Sin, sounds like you have the best of both worlds. Bit like you, I live on the edge of Cheltenham at the end of a dirt track and right at the bottom of quite a large hill and fields that lead into forestry. Dogs never see site of a lead as long as we climb upwards!! Equally it's only 2 miles to Chelt town centre.
I was terrified for my chicks as Bella was a puppy when they first arrived. I kept them in their coop for the first few weeks then gradually expanded their free range area with chicken wire. They now have the run of the garden but spend most of their time hanging round the garden swing! Bella is totally obsessed with them, follows them everywhere but she knows she's not allowed to touch. Equally they don't feel threatened by her. My boys have never even bat an eyelid at the chicks which is surprising since they're obsessed with cats! My fear has never been the dogs, foxes is the problem. I've already had one fox attack, killed my cockerel - poor Mr Wiggins
