Awake and up all night

Morning Geoff.

I was up till almost 3 am (silly woman) but your videos, and with Now 70s playing in the background, I spent a relaxing time before eventually getting my head down. And no, the vids weren't responsible for my conking out, just soothed me on the way to Dreamland, so thanks for that. Hey, I'm glad the comment worked this time, so you can now 'look foreward' to future pestering. Those roads are well busy round there, so watch yourself on them!

Now what's all this about me being put in charge of the cookhouse? I was about to promote you to sous chef but it's back to the sink with you!  Such audacity and I like to be addressed with 'Yes Chef!'

Now we've got that sorted, make sure you have a super Sunday and maybe plan your next stroll.  Hope you don't don't bump into carpet arms guy - he looked like he meant business!  Hugs chummy xxx

I'm glad my videos helped you get to sleep Gill. 

Also glad you managed to work out how to make a comment. Just for next time, rather than replying to someone else's comment (which I may miss) write it as a direct reply please, if that makes sense? I can explain more if you tell me whether you're using the website on a PC or a phone app.

I thought you wanted to be in charge of the cookhouse? Did I make a mistake? Whoops, sorry! Damn that washing up, I hate washing up. My own fault I guess.

Oh didn't that guy look scary? Teehee. Have a great day. x

Awww, we love horses and the little foal - just gorgeous xx. Wonky now looks like a bloke, so sorry Annette, Fifi wouldn't suit now.  Wow Eddie, you really are talented and of course my OH has just been shown the latest.  He relinquished his grasp on his cereal bowl to send you a thumbs up.  Superb work!  Hugs and love xxx

Yes Geoff, (rhymes with Yes Chef) I do use my phone but I'm awful with tech, so a couple of tips would be very useful.

I had a good chortle at the waffling vid, and that men's club thingy; pop in and see what's going on maybe.  If it's not full of boozed up geezers, you might chance on friendly souls which could lead to friendship.  You never know till you try.  Let's hope carpet arms isn't a regular as he looked mean.

Righto, I'd better get on as one of my tasks today is to shave OH's crust (head).  He's got nowt left on top but I take what's left down to the wood, as that's how he likes it.

Laters and hugs xxx

Gill, on the app (the Android one anyway), right below the video you see the like/dislike buttons, then it says "Comments". Below that is the box you write comments in so you're commenting directly and not replying to someone else. The box has "Add a comment..." there by default, but if you click and type there that'll disappear.

Also, as another tip, if you comment to someone telling them how stunningly amazing and handsome they are, Youtube detects that and sends you chocolate. It's true, honest!!!

I often walk past that men's club and I'm intimidated by it. I'm not like most guys and am unlikely to fit in. I might not even physically fit in unless they widen the door! You're right though, seriously, it might be good for me as I won't really know what they're like unless I go in. I might hover there and look around and see if I can catch their eyes.

Seeya later. x

Right Geoff, I'll try and follow your instructions to the letter, but don't hold your breath too long as you could end up choking, I'm that bad.  But talking about breath, mine's baited in anticipation of the consignment of chocs from YouTube - I shall tell the world you're an Adonis, with the wit of a thousand Victoria Woods (my all-time favourite comedienne).  How will that do ya?

Definitely get yourself into the drinking den club, but don't blame me if you emerge sporting a shiner.  Actually, nip in on the pretence of using the loo, then you can scope it out.  If carpet arms is propping the bar up, offer to buy him a Dubonnet - he'll either become your friend for life or give you that shiner.  Nothing ventured, etc.

Hope you're feeling well today my friend xxx

I've just put another video up too. It's not like the others and I don't know how it'll go down.

Yes that'll do nicely, as long as you tell the truth about how wonderful I am, that's all you need to do.

Teehee about the "drinking den" - If that is all they're doing, I won't go in. I'll tell you a secret - I've never had one sip of alcohol in my life. I hate the drinking culture in this country, as if everything revolves around it. So that's quite a hurdle when wanting to socialise with guys, or often women too. Almost every time I've had an opportunity to meet people it's been in a pub. "Fancy going for a drink mate?". No thanks, I'd rather go for a coffee. I used to go to pubs all the time with friends in my 20's, but I'd have Diet Coke. I would regularly have 3 pints of the stuff! Hehe. It was usually as flat as a pancake though so I could handle it.

I don't think they have a loo at that place. I think it's just a storage room for the gardeners, with maybe some working space for them to fix stuff like the benches, and the men in sheds thing must have rented the space.

You're a very funny lady Gill.  x

Thanks Geoff, but funny in the head would be more apt.

And snap!  I don't drink either.  I used to but knocked it on the head a good while back, and now relish the rewards of being able to buy prime steaks, exotic seafood (er, prawns) and all manner of fancy goods once out of our price range. The cost of alcohol, eh? And we don't even miss it.

Nah, give the den a miss as you won't want to be the driest bod in the house, so to speak.  And they don't even have a toilet!

It's a shame you can't have a four legged friend as it provides a glorious way to meet people.  The amount of total strangers I approach is untrue, simply to pet their hounds.  A conversation always ensues, but then I find it easy to yabber on. I could come a cropper one day and get bitten.  By the dog, not the owner. Does the cat who made a cameo appearance belong to you?  A smashing little feline all the same.

I'll look in on your latest epic later, as I've still chores to do, and it's really warm and flies are buzzing everywhere.  Personally, I love winter with all the gloomy skies, the cold and the remote prospects of snow.  Bring it on, I say!  Time to move my frame again, so laters matey xxx

Hi Jane, Well that is good news, I hope now things have turned a corner for you and everything goes smoothly from now on! Please keep us posted.

Sorry for the late reply Gill. I wasn't feeling very well last night.

Steak is something I've rarely had. I've liked the thought of it for a long time, but for unknown reasons I think I've only actually had it once at a restaurant. I used to almost always stick to burger and chips, as I'm a fussy eater. There was a pub I used to regularly go to where I'd have chicken New Yorker, which I loved. Chicken and turkey are my favourite meats.

I love dogs but wouldn't want the responsibility of having one, and I'd get very attached very quickly which wouldn't be good for me. I get attached to almost anything, even when they aren't real. I'd love to help look after someone else's dog though! You're right, it's a great way to meet people. I always go up to other people's dogs and make a fuss of them.

I love Winter too! I don't like being cold but it's easier to wrap up warm than it is to cool down in Summer. I think all the seasons are amazing in their own ways. I miss snow as we rarely get it down south nowadays. It frustrates me that most people hate snow, as I can't think of anything in nature more beautiful than a covering of white snow over houses, the countryside, cars, etc.. I love it so much.

Where's everyone been tonight? It's been unusually quiet.
