Oo an MOT party... what a great idea Little... dancing dress & shoes are on 💃 Little, are you awake enough after eating all those cakes I left ? You will have to go on my bicycle to wakey wakey if not
My wires are primed & ready... just waiting for the cheeses to be put out... no idea why it's taking sooooooo long 🤪
Did you see the mouse on the news that squeezed into a bird feeder & was feasting on the nuts etc getting ready for hibernation.... poor thing got stuck & couldn't squeeze out again.... anyway, it wasn't me

Love Is a Bridge - Little River Band
( Good evening Mousie, Danlyncand and Bonnie.
Wow, I liked the song of the Long Haired Lover From Liverpool Mousie wow, I could sing it all the way through if you want me toooooo.
I could even add a few more decibels as well.
I well needed your bicycle to wake wake me up at least it just finally worked.
Phew pleased it was not you then stuck in the birdy nut feeder, or we all would have gone there to pull Pull PULL you out.
Pip Pip Danlyncand hope all going as well as can be with your Mr Car, it behaving itself.
Wow, about the Celeb in Wales, I wasn't aware of that. Great place though I bet, well, in the sunny times.
Brilliant to hear about your YouTube, sure millionaire is a cometh, and Mousie, moi and sure Bonnie will have great fun helping you to spend some of the millions.
Take care everyone, and stay safe.)

Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel
(Afternoon peeps - I am lucky to be able to get online today as there was a power cut last night that lasted around 8 hours.. with all the trip hazards in my house I'm also lucky to survived intact
Danlyncand, I'm a celeb is using Gwrych Castle, Abergele, N Wales. They've got in trouble as they've 'faked' the setting of the trials apparently & are done in a tent, yet made to look like they're in the castle..... there have been some other problems by the sounds of it too, however, the castle looks beautiful in the Google pics, so I expect their summer tourism will be boosted by it all, which will be good for Wales indeed.
Personally I think they've missed a trick & should have made them camp on one of the beaches 😈
Good news about your YouTube channel 💰💰💰
I'm glad you've woken up Little... I thought I could hear the whirling of the wheel If you'd popped over earlier you could have gone swimming too
The water board have spoilt our fun by fixing the leak now

Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple
( Good afternoon Mousie 'n all.
Oo, dull and dizzymul in my sky, not too warm so heating up a bit more. Lovely sky in the distance though, so wish that would move up closer to me.
Yikes about the power cut and all those hours, bet you were on your last nerve as sure I would have been like when I had all that trouble with the internet.
So pleased you survived though with the trip hazards........ah, talking about trip, maybe jump into our wheeliebarrow and we can go for a ride somewhere.
I will push going, then you jump out and push for going back up the hill. Awww, no need to thank me Mousie, I know you like mountain climbing.
Grrr to the waterboard fixing that leak too as I was looking forward to a swim.
Finally I got my nhs hearing aids just now they are dry with the lovely pink paint you sent to me via the parachute.
At least now I can hear very well, and any crisp/biscuit/cake wrappers being opened I am on the alert.

Smoke and Ashes - Tracy Chapman
(Afternoon Little & co - Sorry you have had a dull day there Little It's been quite bright here for a change, but very cold.
More power cuts throughout the night & this morning which mucked up my plans for an early start <& I'm sticking with that > amazing how you come to rely on it for pretty much everything... hot water, heating cooking phone etc.... I'm pretty lucky as I also have a wood burner, an old fashioned phone that plugs in & friends that had bought me candles at some point so I was able to cook on the fire & warm the house up at the same time, but it's all a bit of a faff.
It has been OK this afternoon so not wishing to tempt fate I'm hoping for a brightly lit evening & some TV tonight 🤞
Wheelbarrow trip sounds perfect... yes you can push downhill .... and I will... fix my electric motor for the up hill bits
Oo it's good you have got your new pink ears.... ... when it comes to elevenses, & other break times, I will look after the batteries for you

Ashes to Ashes - David Bowie
Hi all hope all is well with you guys.
Been a bit fed up lately as not been able to see family. Not met up with my sister since March.
Did manage to get to our timeshare in Loch Rannoch which was glorious in the autumn colours and been locked down since. Would love to have a wood burner too Mousie.
Had our first squirrel in the garden yesterday in 30 years. There are squirrels here but they have never ventured to ours before. Pity it was grey and not red. The slugs are back too though. Ugh!!
I love hearing all your differing stories in these strange times. I think I used to contibute to this post years ago - will need to check back sometime.

Ashes In My Hand - Marianne Faithfull
( Good evening Mousie and Bonnie, hope the start of December has been good for you both. xx
Plenty of the sunshine came this morning, although cold out, but then pooosh the sun went early afternoon, at least nice to see it though.
Such a shame about the power cuts there Mousie at least you made the most of it, and did your best for everything.
So sure we all take electric for granted then when none, wow, brain at the ready in what is for the best to do.
Wow, great idea for getting me and the wheelbarrow back up the hill, vroom vroom.
So funny about 'new pink ears' as when I am all done and dusted in a morning, making myself look more huwoman
I think ''Now then, where are my ears?''.
Ah, erm, at least if they seem flat then I know you sneaked the batteries out for a while, more so at break times.
Lovely for you Bonnie to have gone to Loch Rannoch I looked it up, so lovely.
Fingers tightly crossed soon you and your Sister can get together.
I get 2 squirrels now and again in my garden, sometimes the one. Nice to see them, and good you had one to visit. No chance for me to see a red one, that would be lovely.
So nice to chatter here when we can, such fun and many laughs along the way.
Take care, and stay safe, hope for Danlyncand as well.)

Hand in Hand - Dire Straits
(Evening my lovelies on this.... boing boing boing light at the end of the tunnel sort of day Hopefully life will return to some sort of normal very soon.
I was speaking to a friend in Scotland the other day & it sounds like the police are far stricter than here in England - due to health problems he hasn't left the house either since March. It's very difficult for people, but there is an end in sight so hang on in there Bonnie.
My wood burner was an early buy on Ebay from a lovely couple in Sheffield. It has kept me warm & fed on more than one occasion I think some salt at the door may help with those pesky slitheres, unless you can entice some hungry hedgehogs forthwith
It has been very cold here too Little 🥶 Have had to get the woolen blanket out & two throws.... the side effect is that I really don't want to get up in the morning
On the TV this morning I watched a money saving segment, comparing similar items ... one example was a long, snake-like water bottle, which I did like the look of... anyway, the one he had was £7.99 or thereabouts, which was a massive saving when compared to the posh cashmere covered one that was almost £100!!! ...........£100 for a water bottle....😲 🙄
Don't forget to take your little pink ears off tonight before you go beddy-byes Little
Take care all xx)

Hold My Hand - Hootie and the Blowfish
(Good morning Mousie 'n all. Ooo yucky weather, so dark and raining. Hibernation time it is that's for sure. At least a bit of the sun showed its face yesterday, then more rain though.
Great indeed your purchase of the wood burner, maybe we could all sit around it to keep warm and toast some bread.
Armed with blankets I have been as well, the fleecy ones are great, even one I have in a blue sea scene with some dolphins on it.
Wow a big difference in price the hotwater bottle, no way would I pay for a cashmere one spending out all that 'cash'...Oo, see what I did there.
Yep I took my pink ears off before Beddy-byes last night, and just stuck them in my ears now.
Take care, and stay safe. xx)

Hold Back the River - James Bay
(Afternoon peeps... here you all are ☔☔☔... indoor lights are already on... for at least an hour Glad you had a peek at the sun yesterday Little
Yes good idea Little.... you can all come over & toast some bread... maybe some marshmallows too 😋
.... I think it would be best to bring your dolphin blanket Little - I had a dream last night where someone stole a blue dolphin blanket
so best if you let me keep it safe for you
I will also take care of your batteries while toast & marshmallow making as my fire can spit some sparks & I don't want to risk you going bang 🎆
Cashmere bottles & pink ears ahoy 👍👍)

Back On The Chain Gang - The Pretenders
(Good evening Mousie 'n all. Brrrrr cold it has been, expected of course for December, even my pink ears asked for padding.
Some sun did show its face earlier though, so not too bad.
Mm, now then, great idea about me bringing marshmallows......Ah, erm, now where did I put them. *wiping my mouf of evidence, wipe wipe.
Oo, best then you keep my dolphin blanket and batteries safe. Me no wants to go out with a BANG.
I finally decorated my Christmas tree, all twinkling away now with the lights on. Even the fairy is smiling.
Take care, keep safe and warm. xx)

Back to Black - Amy Winehouse
(Evening peeps..... It sure is cold indeed, mind you some have had snow so could be worse. Maybe you should put some of those spare marshmallows on your ears - if you lick them first they become more sticky.....they come in pink too & you can eat them once you've warmed up
How nice to have your Christmas tree up with the twinkly lights - there are quite a few Christmas lights up around the area & it makes everything look so pretty. Not sure I'm going to get myself organised to do the same this year, will see.
Interesting things going on with the side wall of the tiniest house. I thought they had more or less finished, but holes keep appearing & then disappearing.... at one point I saw a little bird flying in & out of one of the smaller holes - hope it got out before they filled it in again
Oh & the reason for the power cuts was the same reason as the lake appeared at the back of my garden. More building work has been going on around the corner for months & they too had a big crane in the road which caused an underground cable to break.
They dug up the road this past week to fix it. People have been getting angry & honking their horns & shouting at each other 🙄. Glad it's fixed now... t'was disturbing my beauty sleep

Night Fever - Bee Gees
(Evening my lovelies... Hole in your roof Danlyncand
... that's not good, although handy if you want a drink in the middle of night I suppose
Can you fix it yourself, or do you need to get someone in? Maybe your house insurance will have a tradesman on their list of approved peeps 🤞
I'm lucky I didn't need to use my car insurance this morning.... nearly got wiped out by car deliberately going through a red light. I don't know how I stopped.. millimetres between us.... He had his wife & kids in the car too!!! Shame the police weren't around to see it.
It happened earlier in the week too, but in a different place & not on such a major junction... I hope it's not a growing trend 😧
Hey good news about your page views Danlyncand. You will be an 'influncer' if it carries on
Marshmallows ahoy )

Night Boat to Cairo - Madness 🕶️
(Morning my lovelies.... ☔☔☔ on this damp & wet day.
Hmmm yes, insurance companies seem to be better at taking money than giving it back 🙄 Hope the welsh weather is dry for roof repairs today Danlyncand 🤞
Yes both red light ignoring happened where no cameras were present, & both drivers were fully aware of this as they did not just 'jump' the lights. Everyone is rushing around - probably a combination of Christmas & the looming of tier 3 becoming evermore imminent.
At least we can count on the Canadians We might be needing them even more so in the very near future... glad you are doing your bit for cross border relations 👍
Page views, cafes & roof tiles ahoy)
