No, and if I go near them, something untoward may happen.
A peaceful life for me, Malone!

Ah yes, Malone!
I see the code tags now! I didn't realise they were what Rusty meant!
Yes, my first attempt resulted in the rest of the page's posts all becoming underlined!
I did manage it later on after some kindly guidance from Chris!
but too much hassle!
We decided to stick to exclamation marks!

So, I can't win a Korean kitchen, Elle?

At least you know where you are with exclamation marks!!

Hi, Rusty!
Growing on me....? You mean like a mould or a lichen?
No, that wasn't fair......today, Mr Murray behaved like a gentleman! I was the most impressed I have ever been by him.

You will see from my post to Malone what happened when I attempted to use those code tags (sorry, I didn't realise before what you meant)
I like your concept of winning a Korean Kitchen!! a pity it isn't likely to happen!
but you've just got a new kitchen anyway......

I have wrapped sixteen presents this afternoon/ evening!
All done now...oh, apart from getting a something for the dog and the cat.......

Hello, Elle!
Good old Andy, was the cry!
It was a decent programme and it is only once a year.
But for how much longer?
BBC shows less and less sport now.

Good morning, Rusty!
Its' a beautiful day here - blue skies and sunshine! A tad cooler but that is all to the good. Fresh and invigorating!
Just having a coffee and a look at the crosswords , then have to take the dog to the vets. She is showing an interest in her backside again so getting the anal glands checked out - we were told to do so every month or so.
What have you got planned for today? Is your painter coming?

Good afternoon, Elle!
Fine day here, getting colder and we have been promised heavy rain.
Shortest day of the year, too.
How is doggie?
I have just watched bits of SPOTY.
i liked AP's speech. I noticed he had the great and good of racing behind him on stage. JP McManus, Ruby Walsh, Aidan and Joseph O'Brien, etc. Very pleased for him. A gentleman.
And good to see Lizzie (in her Stella McCartney dress).
No sign of the painter, so far.
Maybe tomorrow.

Hi, Rusty!
Pouring with rain and blowing a gale! Just come back from the crematorium.
How long the flowers/ plants/ and wreaths will remain in situ is anyone's guess.
I expect to see them bowling down the road shortly if this storm goes on!
What a change from early morning.
The vet was not overly happy with the dog's anal glands. The left one was blocked again , needed expressing and the gland lining is still inflamed. We have to take her back to repeat the performance in another month - unless I think it necessary that she goes earlier.
We shall see....... thank you for asking.
I don't suppose your painter will come unless the weather is set fair.
Very dark and only 3.30! I have the Christmas tree lights on. Very festive!

Good evening, Elle!
No rain here so far, but the sky was as black as my boot, earlier.
You have done your duty at the crematorium, so let the weather do it's worst.
Did doggie get medication, too?
No word from the painter. He may or may not phone this evening.
I see BBC are giving up on Formula 1 racing.
Soon be no sports at all on there.
