Wife is just off the phone for about the 10th time today. Step daughter in in Edinburgh Infirmary trying to drop a calf. She has been in for just over 48 hours now with many a promise you are next then put on ice as there has been an emergency. This time she (Stepdaughter) is some high number dilated and what do they do. Put her on ice again as its the end of the nurses shift. Rank up the pain killers and away to do a handover so the wife nipped out for a fag and phoned me. Apparently the baby will be out before Midnight what the step daughter was not wanting as according to the Chinese Calendar The kid would have been a Dragon. Poor thing is now stuck with being a Rabbit.

Not a great fan of kids but its looking like i am about to be a step Grandad. Apparently i am going to be known as Grumps :roll: Oh how i hate this bloody Family :lol:

Oh aye. As the drop zone is nearing apparently Al (her husband) is getting whiter and whiter. We think he will faint. The wife has the camera ready for if he does as he wont be allowed to forget it. Moonpig birthday cards :lol:

You're probably better off with a rabbit (just). :D

Me and the missus are dragons (and, they say, 2 dragons together is bad news :o ).

The fourth Trine consists of the Rabbit, Goat, and Pig. These three signs are said to have a calm nature and somewhat reasonable approach; they seek aesthetic beauty and are artistic, well-mannered and compassionate, yet detached and resigned to their condition. The three are said to be caring, self-sacrificing, obliging, sensible, creative, empathetic, tactful, and prudent, but can also be naive, pedantic, insecure, selfish, indecisive, and pessimistic.

The first Trine consists of the Rat, Dragon, and Monkey. These three signs are said to be intense and powerful individuals capable of great good, who make great leaders but are rather unpredictable. The three are said to be intelligent, magnanimous, charismatic, charming, authoritative, confident, eloquent, and artistic, but can also be manipulative, jealous, selfish, aggressive, vindictive, and deceitful.

Shutting down the up/down slow lines near Redhill as it would appear a bit is dangling off a train tripping our power off.

Too busy to ski - probably. But I’ve also done ‘something’ to my back so after physio yesterday I was advised to give even touring a miss for a couple of days :(

So, sitting in my favourite café afternoon drinking :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Physio again in the morning then a friend is taking me to the valley to go shopping (we’ll, really it’s so he can go to the pasty shop :lol: :lol: :lol:

Apparently this is a Jamaican Coffee. Don’t really care anymore about the name - there’s a ton of rum in it :angelic-green: :angelic-green: :angelic-green:

Having a BBQ for the kids at the donkey sanctuary Pen works at. All mid 20s.
All Spanish and Argentina
I was a bit left out until 10 mins ago.

They said they liked Sabbath so I played early stuff. The knew it. Played Fluff. Yeah
Then they asked if I liked Ozzy or Dio.

Then they chatted about Ummagumma. :obscene-birdiedoublered:

Apparently late 60s early 70s rock is cool over here :obscene-drinkingcheers:
They know everything I play.

Now all singing to CCR. Fortunate son

The party starts now :D
