Another generous gift from a guest, one of those cured legs of ham complete with a knife and steel :)

A proper winning week for me. I just found the earphones I lost a couple weeks ago AND I hadn't gotten around to ordering replacements yet !

It's not really insignificant, but I'm sitting here seriously relieved and finally much less stressed!! The social worker in the rehab centre screwed up some paperwork, so the 'sick pay' wasn't paid on the 15th July. So I've been waiting since then. I received a reply to a message I'd sent telling me they made a payment today - might take a couple of days to show in their system and in my bank, but they've made it . PHEW!!!! :bblonde: :bblonde:

Plenty in pubs and its short wearing weather!

Scenario; I walk past 4 gorgeous Chicks sitting in the beer garden.

Gorgeous chick 1. "Wow, see that Hunks scar on his knee"!
Gorgeous chick 2. "He literally has the same scars on his other knee"!
Gorgeous chick 3. "OMFG like really".
Gorgeous chick 2. "He literally does"
Gorgeous chick 4. "I hear he rides a MT-09 too".
Gorgeous chick 1,2 & 3, "Wow! What a guy"!


I'm mopping up! 8-)

How will you know you they won't substitute F1 Ti knee for a Leyland OEM part?

It's hot, still 25 degrees at 11pm. Tent in the garden, no flysheet, looking at the stars and ready for a cool nights sleep. Goodnight.

Sadly, chicks dig scars never worked for me :( :( Not convinced guys dig scars :(
