Friendly Chat Part IV

[sageandonion]

No I am very common, his drawers go out as do my knicks on those carasol things with the little pegs around. His don't go on the same one as mine though, stopped doing that sort of thing years ago. No one can see my smalls though as I don't have immediate neighbours.

[sageandonion]

Any news on Ona brindle.

Hatman, what about antihistimines for that itch. You have to stop the cycle. If it carries on she will have to have a course of steriods, only thing that finally stops it. Not what we want of course, but that itch will drive to distraction.

Only one I know of! May have changed names though since you last went, used to be called Hallam FM Arena I think?

Ha that's it!! So I was only being semi-dopey that's a relief

Did anyone see the little boy artist on the news just now? 9yrs old and his paintings were unbelievable. His exhibition sold out in minutes with the most expensive one being £15500 He could retire before he's old enough to work.

Evening all

I didn't see that KJM but I just had a look at the trailer for Warhorse the stage show in London - God it looks amazing

Billy all washed for a show tomorrow - let's hope the judge 'judges' the right end of the lead rope this time

[kayjayem]

Supreme Showdown at Aintree racecourse KJM x

Brindle sorry Ona's not been well x

[kayjayem]

That's promising then Brindle, I would always be worried about liver damage on something in poor condition but that would show up on bloods. Maybe she will just pick up very very slowly now the foal is weaned.x

[kayjayem]

Good luck LOTI. I had been going to do a couple of foal shows with some of my babies but it's been so mild and we've still got such a lot of grass that I turned them back out again once they were properly weaned, leading and microchipped so they look like little pit ponies now! Winter will be long enough without starting early.

[Deleted]

I agree KJM - I must be mad - have been up since six am, worked all day, spent ages washing pony and up at six tomorrow - all for a rosette lol ;D x

modified to say thanks for good luck wishes - will need every one of them

[brindlerainbow]

Good luck LOTI
KJM they tested liver,kidneys on last bloods and all came back fine which is good

[Deleted]

Thanks Brindle - I hope she's better soon x

[sageandonion]

Good luck LOTI, whatever, I hope you enjoy. We are off to a SJ clinic again tomorrow. Well my daughter is jumping, I shall be drooling over the frenchman again. Think I shall wear my extra tight white pikeurs, with a short blosoon jacket and keep my back turned. My butt is in great shape, shame about the face

Brindle, this really is a mystery. Have you got any feelings about it?

[sageandonion]

Anyone watching The Jury? luke would have thought you'd like it. Last one tonight, off to get my icecream and chocolate

[brindlerainbow]

Sagey I just dont know!!!!
Im off to watch Great british ghosts on the yesterday channel, love it

[kayjayem]

Just watching Have I Got News For You. I love it but I'd quite like to give Ian Hyslop a custard pie in the chops!

[viking]

Just been watching Truckers in India.
Scary!

[kayjayem]

Viking there was a prog on earlier on Uist, is that anywhere near you? I'm not very good on my Scottish islands, don't know my Orkney from my Hebrides.

[viking]

Sorry I missed that one KJM.
Uist is Western Isles (Hebrides) We are Northern Isles.

The Western Isles are fabulous. All different, and all beautiful. Harris is especially lovely, the hills are majestic, and the walks sublime.
Can't wait to get back there once again. Blue sea and white sand.

[kayjayem]

Write that book Viking! And illustrate it with your fantastic photos.

[viking]

Especially for you KJM. A glimpse of Harris.

[brindlerainbow]

Viking that is beautiful

[kayjayem]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!

That's beautifull!

[viking]

Isn't it just. Love the Hebrides and take hundreds of pictures.

[kayjayem]

So is Hebrides the same as Outer hebrides or is there an inner as well(sorry to sound thick but maybe I am) Where are Orkneys and Shetlands. When you say you are northern isles what group is that?

[hatman]

KJM you avatar always makes me smile and horseylady the one with the munching thing.

Im a bit thick to KJM as i would like to know

[kayjayem]

LOL Gerry Giraffe is courtesy of Lukey, I love horselady's munching thing.

[daizylindsay]

Sagey we watched the jury it was fab! That Paul was very silly!

[amumwithapony]

Morning all

Nice morning here, all bright and crisp. Just had the maggie dog out for her morning run and she has rolled in something stinky So waiting for OH to go out so I can chuck her in bath. If I put her in now he will try and 'help' and me and OH will end up wetter than the dog, along with my bathroom, and everywhere else when she bombs off before being dried.

She is nuts you know. Thinks she's a cat and always climbing, can't bear to not be in same room as everyone else and if we are not all sat together she goes from one room to another crying until we are all sat down. Terrible theif, always got something she shouldn't and I can't put any food waste in my bin otherwise she spends hours with her head in it LOL.

Have a nice weekend all and good luck LOTI!

[viking]

Lol. None of you are thick, it's just that these places have been rather out of your orbit.

The Northern isles.

Shetland. A group of over a hundred islands with Muckle Flugga being the furthest point North in the British Isles (apart from Out Stack), and Sumburgh Head, Shetland's Southern point being roughly 90 miles distance from Caithness, the top of Scotland.

The Shetland islands all have their own individuality. Rugged coastlines and a harsh and often unforgiving landscape especially on a wild wet day. Catch it though when there's a sparkle on the water, or on a gentle mild day without wind, and the scenery is truly amazing.

Fair Isle is South of Sumburgh Head and lies roughly between Shetland and Orkney.

Orkney consists of a group of 70 islands and lies about 6 miles from Caithness.
Again the islands of this group have their own distinct flavour. Rugged Hoy with its impressive hills, to the flat and sandy low lying island of Sanday.

Much of the largest Orcadian island is green, fertile and cattle growing country, and this is where it differs from its northern neighbour. Shetland is moorland, hill, and sheep country.

The Western Isles. or Outer Hebrides is made up of a similar chain of islands, while the Inner Isles are those lying much closer to the Scottish mainland, Skye being the largest and a popular tourist destination.

Travel arrangements to all of these sea girt isles, with the exception of Skye which now has a bridge) can be time consuming and sometimes hazardous. Flying is probably the better option. Once there however, there is much to see and admire, and all are well worth exploration.

Here ends the Viking geography lesson of those remote places that are usually to be found in a box on the edge of some other map.

Cool and bright today, with dashing wild white horses on a slate coloured sea.
Have a nice weekend everyone.
