Re: What have you done today thread?
Built Ikea stuff for the creche at Church. My son came with me, so I treated him to lunch and an elderflower cider. I had porter and a lentil dish that was as good as one I had in Jaipur a few years ago. Definitely going back there as the young man likes the cider too! Took daughter to her friend this evening so she can head into London for a night out. Will collect her later on tonight, so dad's taxi is getting good use. All in all a lovely day where I've been able to spend time with family. Tomorrow is my day off, no idea what I'll be doing and I'm not going to sweat it.
Proverbs 17:9
One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.

House work, went to Brewery shop and bought cider. Dog walk when rain hopefully stops and Curry tonight watch TDF highlights and "the Expanse" in glorious 4K.

Mrs Potter gets it every time, despite shooting for years and having lessons, I don't get it at all, but I think that's luck and possibly a lifetime of gym and getting punched so often that my flesh is like an old mutton chop

I got that the first (and only) time I went clay pidgeon shooting. First time I'd held and shot that sort of gun. No bugger told me to hold it tight to my shoulder

Re: What have you done today thread?
Today I took a friend down to the valley - we were going to have a chilled walk around the market, then go for coffee and a bacon sarnie!! Due to her hangover we had to go somewhere different for a coffee hit, then do a short walk to the market and back to go to the bacon sarnie cafe as soon as they opened!! LOL LOL
Been a good day today :
Well, apart from my kitten being seriously weird!! LOL She settled on me with her back legs on my shoulder, her front legs over the front of my top and her head stuffed inside my top daft little weirdo!!

Re: What have you done today thread?
Woke up from my early evening nap, discovered the news had ended & "Miss California 2021" was on.
By christ, there were some poor choices. One looked like Zuckerberg in drag, another had to be pushing 200lb. Quite a few looked like they had a hard time giving up meth or donuts. However, about half of the final 11 weren't too shabby. Changed the channel at that point & watched the first episode of Black Sheep Squardon.

That's why I put a Knox CompStock on my Mossberg 590. Has a spring/cam doodad inside it that compresses to take the recoil. Makes shooting deer slugs feel like you're shooting #8 birdshot.

Went for a walk round the Market .Chopped down an enormous Yucca plant that was originally a houseplant 20 years ago when I first planted it outside - within minutes of starting I managing to poke myself in the eye .

Met M down on the front for a beer while the temperature dropped off a bit then swam out to the boat and wired in the all singing and dancing fish finder/sonar/GPS/kitchen sink unit. It's all good but I suspect it's only going to tell me what most of us really know - there are very few fish. It also seems I have fixed the fuel problem so generally happy about boat things.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Had a yarn with my Da this afternoon. Talking old times and him putting names to old photos led us to deep places. He and I are much alike and as such we were in confrontation for most of my teenage years.Neither of us would win conversationalist of the year,so not much talking took place during those years. I was mostly a cunt.
He's from the era when emotions were kept tightly under wraps and you just got on with shit. It's taken us 50 odd years get around to talking about past events and shedding a few cathartic tears. I'm grateful for both of us that we've had the chance to do that.
