Re: utterly random picture thread.
I love the attention to detail in Victorian architecture. Most would never even glance up to see it, but in this morning's sunshine it really popped.
Almost as if they'd designed it to last...

The wife's been making red currant jelly - fabulous colour.
Blundering about trying not to make too much of a hash of things.

If that's near McGuinness's or past cronky, I've never noticed the hills on the right.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
The 11th is after Cronky Voddy - but I'm not convinced that sign is actually at the 11th, doesn't look right (although the snow could be causing the confusion!! LOL)
I don't think there was a McGuinness corner when I was marshalling! But it seems the 11th is in between CronkyVoddy and McGuinness!!

Found these in my coat pocket.
I have memories of a Peroni pop up bar on the Thames somewhere... 
I must have been drunk as a skunk on Wednesday.

Both shoulders are bad today. Can't lift my arms up.
Can't reach up to the washing line, so had to rig up a low line from the heavy chair to pergola leg
Mrs lands late tonight, but couldn't burden her

Re: utterly random picture thread.
I saw this on FB the other day - trying to translate it to French was interesting, without the use of google!!

Re: utterly random picture thread.
I had to Google translate "feral" which gives me "wild" but did the rest of it in Spanish.Noggin wrote: Tue Nov 26, 2024 6:34 am I saw this on FB the other day - trying to translate it to French was interesting, without the use of google!!

Re: utterly random picture thread.
It was 'feral' that I had the issue with too. I went with sauvage which is wild. Not exactly right, but close enough for the explanation!!
