    What I find fascinating is seeing how some lefties write where they curl their wrist above where they are writing.


    My brother's a leftie and ^^^ that's exactly how he writes! I
    always call it 'upside down' writing! :D :rotfl:


    Here's an interesting article which popped up on my
    facebook feed yesterday, originally published 2017.

    ^^ I agree with this though because my brother has always
    been very talented re maths etc whereas I've always been
    more creative/arty etc. He's always maintained that lefties are
    more intelligent than us righties! :grin: :rotfl::rotfl:

    On Saturday I had a message to say I had won a box set of books for children on twitter. Spot the Dog. Will be great for younger GD. I also had a WEM last week for a Gourmet Slicer.


    :j Well done leanfun - brilliant wins. :T My kids used to love
    Spot the Dog books & now my GDs do too!


    The sun is shining away here but feeling lovely & fresh out,
    ideal conditions for walking me thinks. Went out again
    yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed myself so hoping to do
    the same today after getting provisions in (using the car! :p).


    Have a lovely & lucky day all and please take care whatever
    your plans.

    Great you made it out walking Alfie. I do love walking blows away the cobwebs but we are not making it out. Great you posted comp will have a look.

    Rose sounds as though you had a great day yesterday. Yummy to the garlic bread. Great to catch up with friends and hav3 a good laugh.

    Indie sounds as though DSs GF had a great time.

    Very interesting about left handers. Seem to be a few in here. Seven at one time Indie is a lot.

    Thanks re wins. Yesterday I heard from company about football shirt. They said they had found my emails in spam and will send a shirt. It!!!8217;s going to DS. So he will be pleased as they are expensive.

    Sheils hope weather is ok for you to get out and about.

    Hi 3forhols. Hope you are having a great summer with your DD and are keeping well. Another left hander. You must all be good at problemsolving.

    :hello: Good morning everyone


    Hope you're all ok - lovely to hear from you sheils. Sounds
    as if you're both having a wonderful break with decent
    weather! Safe journey home today.


    I think we may be due some rain tomorrow so must get
    on with gardening today. The plants (& weeds :p) have been
    going manic! Thankfully my grass has turned back to normal
    again and that'll need mowing too, so plenty to do here
    today! :D


    Plus I'll be fitting in my walk at some point ... may do that
    first thing before I get side-tracked on other things!


    Brilliant that you'll be receiving the footie shirt leanfun. :T Bet
    your DS will be over the moon because they're so expensive
    to buy!

    Morning peeps. Damp and wet one here. Overnight rain has watered my tubs and baskets. Supposed to clear later this morning and sun to make an appearance. Shiels I saw the Red Arrows at Blackpool as well in the year my son was born (1982) they put on a fabulous display. Always remember them coming in very low and close to the water then doing a vertical climb just before the tower. It was I suppose quite far out but seemed so close. Anyway hope everyone is well. Be lucky folks.

    Woke late this morning. No GS today so will try to do things here. DD1 isoffwork today and is taking him out. She won tickets in a school raffle for Leeds castle and a friend and daughter are going with them.

    Alfie I did venture into our small back garden yesterday loads to do out there. We did sit out and have a coffee though.

    Hope you have a good journey home Sheils.

    Take care and be lucky.

    Thanks for the link sheils. I have seen them flying a few times when i have been at shows.
    I don't have nephew for a week+ now as his dad is taking the boys to Kent to stay with family. As i haven't got him i have booked tomorrow to work. So must get a few things done round the house today. Hope you all have a lucky day.

    Good morning folks. Another cloudy one here. Had some rain last night. Hanging baskets and tubs are looking fab now that we do not have scorching sunshine. Just heat and rain. Doing plants a power of good. Neighbour has loads of tomato plants and salad things in mini greenhouses and they are growing like you would not believe. GK's are back to school today. GS is starting High School so something very new for him. Can't believe he is out of primary school. He is only eleven not twelve till September. GD will miss him but she has friends at her primary school so she should be ok. Hope everyone is well.
