Good morning everyone :-) <3

Another beautiful morning here. :-D
A wash load done and hanging to dry.

Daughter wants to pop into a nearby town.
I might tag along and hopefully call in to see son, if he is around.

Good morning all. <3 :-D

Sitting with my morning coffee and the back door wide open. Really nice morning out there.

There was just a squawking outside a few minutes ago, the birds along the top of the arch were all of a flutter. A black cat was crawling along the side fence toward them - so I sent it packing.

Enjoy your day everyone. <3 :-D

Afternoon :-D :-D

Bright sunshine earlier now it's overcast and dull.

Thanks Belle,I had forgotten about the phone alert, I would have jumped out of my skin.
Have I missed the logic of why it is just mobiles who are receiving this? Are landlubbers doomed?

Dear All

Hello and Good afternoon

Hope you are all well and safe.

I panic in advance....just to practice. :-S :-D

I am trying to locate family members of a friend I have did research for some years ago.

I still have the original research and would like to pass it on.

Enjoy your afternoon.

Take gentle care
Love EOS

Normally I would turn off my phone but wanted to hear the nose it made. Exactly the same noise as last Wednesday. Frightened the life out me then as it happened twice whilst I was driving. Thought something was wrong with the car until it went again at home.

:-S :-S :-S :-S

Why panic ;-) ;-)

I didn’t hear it my phone was in airplane mode :-0 :-0 :-D

There was a message when I looked at the phone :-D :-D

I don’t understand why we are so far behind the times in the UK. Other countries have

had alerts for a long time and we only caught up in 2023. Better late than never I

suppose ;-)

My mobile obviously isn't compatible :-S

I remember when I was still living at parents house, left at 18, the air raid siren went off - freaked my mother out LOL. Apparently it used to be tested now and then.


Are you sure that was your phone Maddie? :-D

I remember the air raid siren being tested from time to time. Once I had left home I don’t think I heard it again. Got the lifeboat rockets instead.

I'm fairly sure that I remember the air raid sounding to alert firemen to rush to the fire station, when I was young, in the days before pagers.

A nearby town has a similar-sounding alarm at a set time on a weekly basis. It's a flood warning.
