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.

He must be about 90 now.
Must be someone else then he was about fifty something

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


Don't do it kiddies, I've got shrapnel wounds on my hand and legs, an unhappy wife, daughter & boyfriend and one hell of a ringing in my one good ear :silent:

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.

Stick a couple of rounds of bread and butter on the side for me.
I'm with you on that. I love watching Masterchef etc, but as soon as they go somewhere and the chef gets the tweezers out, i'm done, i've peaked

It's a talent for sure, but I think it appeals to people that go for the occasion, rather than because they're hungry.
Part of me would LOVE to go somewhere exceptional, with amazing food etc, just to see if i can actually appreciate it for what it is, if the food can really make me go "WOW"... But i can't stand the pomp and faff that comes with it, the white gloved waiters etc... It would just irritate the heck out of me.

Well not today because I've been a bit tardy of late in posting but Sunday I had the first pick of this years runner beans. :D A good 600 grams that only lasted as far as dinner time and then got scoffed with gravy dinner. Mmmmmm...

Got a good crop growing this year, so we'll be well fed over Summer. That's the benefit of not being able to take a motorcycle holiday in June when your veg needs proper looking after to get going!!
Life’s for living, so let’s get on with it! :P

Never, it’s like being in MotoGP on a CRT bike, you might look good and do well but your there to fail.
