There is a thread like this on another forum I visit, it's used for chatting about anything at all that doesn't warrant a thread of it's own. Kind of like a running conversation of random snippets  
I was reading a very well known book today and the word "UNLOOSENED" was used in a sentence about opening a collar. Surely if to loosen ones collar is to open it, to 'unloosen' it would be to fasten it!

Um yes?! I think so
Did everyone see/hear the storm lastnight? There was another quick flash and rumble this afternoon, in between the hailstones (?!?!) but apart from that I think we all survived

1. unloosen - grant freedom to; free from confinement
2. unloosen - loosen the ties of; "unloose your sneakers"
was the character wearing sneakers as well as a tie?

I've just returned from Montrose and saw an impressive lightening flash around the Tarriebank area.

There was some awesome thunder about 3.35. It must have been very close by as it sounded like an explosion. The hailstones just after were a good size too, bet they hurt if you were caught out in it.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them...well, I have others.

The hailstones nearly brained the birds that were on my feeders in the garden. They all dived for cover I didn't think it was that cold today, strange weather indeed!

Just got back from a brilliant nursery outing to the bakery and cakeshop in Morrisons. They got to make crumpets, jammie donuts and fruit tartlets. I came home with a hyper 4 yr old (who was given a jammie donut and a milky way to eat while we were there) a slice of the giant crumpet they made, two packs of 5 donuts, the fruit tartlet and the donut she made while she was there. Anyone fancy a cuppie?

10 outa 10 to Morrisons for taking the time to entertain a nursery outing in what is a very busy store, must have had a hellava job trying to control the mothers with all that cake, crumpet and tarts about never mind the donuts don't like 'em. |

I saw a commotioncouple of days ago in Colliston. All the sheep in the field were goingmental, then I realised the coos were too, running towards the edge of the field. Why? Well a whole load of kai had escaped and were rampaging through the adjacent fields crops. There was no gate on this field so wondered if they came onto road.

I have mice in my house 
They dug up all the hedgerow and cut down the trees in the Christian Centre, and now all the mouses have moved into my house. I set traps this morning, laden with peanut butter but none caught yet They're Field Mice, very cute but wish they'd bugger off out of my house!

Maybe you need a cat to "take care of them"? I'd hire you mine - but he's so lazy I think he'd rather snooze and let the mice round around him.

And I have a Jack Russell! He's useless too, it ran right past him but he was too busy wagging his tail and looking at me yelling instructions to him to "kill" that he missed it entirely. I blame it on his advancing years! Caught one in a trap, hopefully there'll be no more!

Been out to Dundee to watch Eclipse at the cinema at midnight, got home just now at 3am to find the sun has almost beaten me! Didn't think the sun rose so early! Guess it's time for bed now, night all x
