Oh my word VC,hope they did not just leave with the door and her unprotected,poor soul must have been scared,bless her.

[veggiechicken]

I'm sure she's fine!! My brother was laughing about it - so I expect she is too. We call her a silly old bat when she does something daft and she calls me a silly b*gger back.

The door's been repaired by the Housing Association so she's quite safe!

Managed to clear a fair bit of work yesterday. Got a bit more to do and then I might have an afternoon nap.Have a good one, everyone. Catch you later.

Evening,I can veryfy that,having an afternoon kip IS very normal,it recharges the batteries

Must be getting on though. Sat down after lunch and fell asleep. I must ask Rary sometime if that;s typical as I grow older. He should know shouldn't he

Sorry AP I can't answer that as I am still too young but as you can see from the quotes from Snoop and LD you must be right, of course there is a really old Grape that will know, I am quite sure she will be back on again and just to keep the door open for her we will ask the question, "could any of you older girls, oops sorry, Grapes give AP a definite answer, when you are old do you take a nap in the afternoon"?

Good evening, a wet day today with heavy showers and hail, though not the flooding that other areas are getting, no doubt there will be a lot gardens and allotments damaged but remember that's not as bad as having your home flooded and nice to see people are contributing to help others, well need to get to bed as I have the boy's in the morning, keep safe, keep warm and smile

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All But chilly out but dry for now. Have a good day

[Starch]

At what age does a siesta become an afternoon nap.

[Thelma Sanders]

Mornings!

At what age does a siesta become an afternoon nap.

Dunno that it necessarily does follow ..when I lived in Greece (ooh I've been back for 19 years now don't time fly!) I always had a siesta to get a break from the mid -day heat, but I don't need one any more, or a nap, even though I'm that many years older haha!

Anyway, I've been up since 6 cos I was rudely awakened by cramp - don't you just hate it when that happens It's blue skies this morning but a tad chilly, Mollycat has actually ventured outside for the first time in ages

Have a good'un

Strange that, when I was working I often used to have a nap at lunchtime or flake out on the chair when I finished work.
Now I am retired , I don't need a daytime nap as I lead a more leisurely life. A benefit of retirement is that I go to bed when I want and get up when I want. I can be more 'seasonal' now and get up earlier when its light as the year progresses.

[burnie]

Morning all, nice sunny start to the day and that wind has dropped, though I believe it will be back again later, enjoy your day and hope all are safe.

[bramble]

Good morning.
It's cold outside and right now it's raining.
More domestics unless the weather improves.
Have a good day all and stay safe and warm.

[Jay22]

Morning, sun is shining!!! Long may it last. Have a great day everyone! x

[Snoop Puss]

Well, I didn't have my afternoon nap yesterday, call it what you will. In fact, in this house we don't call it a siesta or nap or kip or forty winks or, as the locals would have it, a siestecita (a short siesta) or migdiada (middle-of-the-daytime, taken to mean a nap). We call it a farny (after dolce far niente - sweet doing nothing). I think that's enough brackets, so time to move on.

Feeling a bit headachy today, clearly due to a lack of sleep.

Mr Snoop has taken our ancient Samurai (vehicle, not warrior) in for its annual MOT. We know it will fail. Rear lights were working fine till he decided he would do the people at the testing station a favour and knock off a load of dry mud clinging round the back of the car. No time to fix the lights before the test, so he'll have to do it afterwards.

Not much other excitement and still no news from Captn Crackoff about Jessie, which would have brightened this distinctly chilly day. Though I must say your story about your mum, VC, was a good one.

Catch you later, guys. Meanwhile, have a good one.
