Hi DS

The fireworks were on for about two hours last night. It is raining cats and dogs, it's those cricketers again and yesterday our local team of cricketers (rain dancers) were at it again and playing a match but I don't know who with, unless it was a practise session.

I also have heard the story of Padre Pio.

My late dad would have been very pleased about South Africa winning in Rugby.

Thank you for your email addy.

Katrina,

Two hours of fireworks!!! Must have been good fun.

England were in a commanding position against the aussies - rain spoiled it. Is the weather forecast tomorrow - no rain? Hope they get some cricket tomorrow.

The Springboks completely outplayed the All Blacks, superior play all round. One SA player got all 32 points !!! Morne Steyn, what a match he had.

DS

The fireworks were great fun.

The England team are doing well in the Ashes. I wonder when rain or bad light stops play does it help the England team to rest and recurberate for the next match.

Thirty two points for one player is an excellent score and that must have mad Morne Steyn's day.

Hi again !!!

Madam you have a point there. The England team would like to finish off this match with a win as they have quite an advantage.

Would you like to have drink? Please suggest, you're an expert.

Afternoon DS

Please can I have a cool glass of with some ice in it.

+ many cubes of ice !!!!

Hope you had a lovely day !!!

I'm having Soco & Lemonade

Listening to some oldies by Engelbert Humperdinck

Thank you DS for the and the many cubes of ice.

Thanks I have had a lovely day, as the day went on the clouds slowly disappeared from the sky along with lengthening sunny spellls. I hope you also had a very good day.

Here are some Soco & Lemonade

When I was working at the charity shop, I would listen to cd's of Engelbert Humperdinck.

Thank you most kindly, madam.

The drinks were super, and yes, I had a lovely day.

I was on the computer without a break from 4pm, now it's 1.35am (Tuesday, 4th).

Off to bed - see you tomorrow.

Warm regards,
DS

Evening DS

That was a long time to be on a computer without a break, I hope you were able to have a rest.

Here is a refreshing fruit punch

Good evening to you ma'am !!!!

It's indeed most refreshing - expertly made !!!! Thank you.

Wednesday is a holiday here (full-moon), so, I am fully relaxed.

Please do drop in for another round of fruit-punch.

It is raining now and I think it has been like that for at least an hour.

Hi DS

The cricket results are not vry good, we are now drawn with Australia. I hope things will get better in the next matches in the Ashes series.

I have not been able to see because of the clouds and when it has been clear, it was too late in the night for me to see it.

Thanks for the lovely sparkling

All the best

Greetings,

First some more

The cricket was really bad last week in SL too. We lost to the Paks

I read on-line there's going to be some celestial avtivity tonight - The Perseid meteors are making their annual visit.

All the very best,
DS

Good Afternoon

Thanks for the . Would you like some of Yorkshire best real bitters?

Sorry to hear that SL lost too, I hope that we will both get better results.

I don't think I will be able to see the perseid meteors as it is always cloudy over here.

Went outside last night, clear sky but no sign of the , so I was unable to find . It's like that over, you get a clear sky but no . I have only seen meteors twice in my life and that was over Ashington Northumberland just over 10 years ago. One was a shooting star and I am not sure about the other it could have been a comet and it was about the same time and it was during a very clear and sunny day.

Best wishes

Hi Katerina,

The Paks trounced us yet again!!!

Of course madame, I would love some of Yorkshire's best real bitters? A fine choice indeed.

I have never seen meteors. They say, it brings good luck to see "shooting stars". Do you agree? Is it True?

The "comet" you spotted in daylight is very interesting.

More Yorkshire's best real bitters?

Hello DS

I don't know how to make our cricketers play better.

Here are a few pints of Yorkshire best real bitters. I used to sample real and would read up about them, I used to think 5% vol was their score.

Hi SD

I did not see the meteroite shower last night. It's strange that I have not seen the out at night for a while.

Hi there Madame !!!!

Nice to see you.

Please join me for

Had an unusually quiet weekend, was lazing around, listening to music at home. Scattered showers in Colombo this evening.

Hope you had a fun filled weekend.

I am not at all keen to start work tomorrow.

Regards,
DS

Hello DS.

Thanks, it's nice to you.

Thanks for the lovely chilled

It's been quiet apart from a few passerbys who are a bit and fireworks been let off at night.

Thanks I have had a great weekend, reading my Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azarkaban which I got from my local library on Friday. I have also watched Star Trek Insurrection video and a few episodes of Star Trek Deep Space Nine.

The weather has been quite good, always with a dull start and then it slowly brightens up in the late morning and early afternoon.
