Hi pigale

What is sunny weather it has been raining all night and it still is,this is the most dreary August I can remember perhaps we will have a glorious Autumn

Well said Pigale and Rusty.

My music shuffle just gave me this.

enjoy!

It's wet and windy here.

Oh dear, Doglet! I am sorry to hear of your dreary weathe; It is true that when looking at the weather map last night I saw a big low pressure band that touches the Northern coasts of France, the Channel and obviously parts of the UK.

I live much more towards the centre, so escape this rainy passage - but gosh, what high winds we had on Monday! Up to just over 100km/hour !

Hope your garden is not suffering from too much water now !

Hello Richardh,

Thanks for refreshing and quite appropriate piece of music !

and sorry about your weather !

Yes it is sad. JG only said she'd leave this thread for a while, not the Forum
On Forums and email, there's no body language, tone of voice or visual clues to help interpretation :-((

On a happier note, today someone sent me a beautifully tuned bowl made from one of my ash trees. He regrets the blemishes' i think they're wonderful. One mark looks like a kingfisher watching the surface of some water!

Morning, Ros!
That is a very good point you've just raised. One we might all do well to bear in mind.
I've been caught myself in the past, wishing that if the recipient could only "see" me , he/ she would understand better/ more clearly.

I did add a "smiley" to my post 3487 to show that it was meant kindly. Apologies again

I agree Ros and Elle, and this is why we must be so careful in our choice of words - When replying to a post, we (or I at least) tend to say whatever first comes to our head, without reflecting too much, and as you say, with no body language to help, these words might be interpreted the wrong way.

Hope it all sorts itself out soon, and meanwhile it is up to us to keep this thread going - it answers a need for those among us who depend on what it offers in the way of virtual comradship.

Hi Jazzy,
Nice to see you on the Forum - You needn't apologize again, it's all in the past now and there is not much point in lingering over it. Start afresh as though nothing had happened, if you can :))

I hope rusty has now put it all behind us, also.
I know he will be back in his own good time, sooner rather than later I hope ;)
