Took some stuff to the tip, one of the items being a broken plastic recycling box provided by the council, which we used for putting out the plastic to be recycled...only to be told it couldn't be recycled. :think:

Got my yews pollarded- all done in an afternoon, thanks to my trusty Silky 'Zubat' and some decent loppers. :thumbup:

I've been peeing blue all day :obscene-birdiedoublered:
At first I thought the missus had put some blue bog cleaner in ;)

But apparently it's normal after surgery coz doc puts some blue die in.

It looked quite cool :D

That was some route the Sat Nav brought us up on. The A494 was like worlds most dangerous roads after we passed Revs.

When I had eye surgery (as an outpatient) they put some bright yellow dye in my eye. Like the stuff they sometimes use at the optician, but much stronger.

T'was only the one eye though, so I had one blue and one bright green eye for a while. I kinda liked it :D

Didn't David Bowie do something similar?

He had a permanently dilated pupil on one eye I think?

Yeah, he did it as an artistic statement and it all went a bit Pete Tong, as I (dimly) remember...

Got up at 4am cos need to be in the office at 5am - seems I'm much quicker at this getting ready than I thought, ready by 4.33am so now wasting time till I head down to the office!! :lol: :lol:

Then, first transfer at 6am - but with luck I'll get to see the Ireland game later. Sadly I don't think I'll be able to stay out to watch the last game as at the moment I may well have a 4am pick up tomorrow, so no chance of a late night :(

Ran some errands, dropped ssoem shopping off to the olds etc. All this with the roof open and windows down and playing Heart 70s too loud. I thoroughly enjoyed myself but probably looked a right nob! :lol:
