We all used them for donkeys years. But we never knew which one was actually Geoff.
There was a skinny guy with glasses. And fat guy with beard.

Some pronounced gravitational effect on those bikes. Nice example.

Pond filling/flushing, IGNORE the state of the garden, its a disaster at the moment due to new fencing going up.

Hit one of these with an 'ammer after discovering the air pistol didn't have enough oomph to set them off

Woken by a call from hospital at 4.40am telling me I'd best make my way up,as my Da looked like he was not going to last much longer. Spent the day with him and he rallied round a bit. ICU staff eventually chased me out and said they'd ring if anything changes.

Falling asleep here,early night for me....I hope.

I've had better days.

We made a biscotti cheesecake and I licked the bowl.

Hope all goes as well as it can Skub. :(

Same as I have done every day this week: trying to get my Tuono back running and shipshape, after I stuffed it into a dyke 5 years ago.
Today I deburred the back head. Was furry and shitty. It gleams now.

Tonight I've watched a documentary on BBC2 called American History's Biggest Fibs with Lucy Worsley.

Points of note.

1. I have the same name as one of the nine slaves George Washington kept at his president's house in Philadelphia.
2. I wouldn't kick Lucy Worsley out of bed for eating crisps.

I can never make my mind up about that bit, something isn't quite right.
I like her stuff and haven't seen that so I'll give it a go thanks.
