      Taking my Grandson (then  3-y-o) out for the day we got to lunchtime  but he had a sit-down strike , refused to budge because he hadn't had his mid-morning snack so it could not possibly be lunchtime !

      My garage is full of all sorts of stuff  " put in a safe place " trouble is I don't seem to have used that place on a regular basis .

      My F-I-L was excessively tidy.- In his workshop /shed even the spiders knew their place!

  7. Blood donation later today, #66.  Go on, you know you ought want to, really.

      Wouldn't have me ... something to do with childhood jaundice.... That was a mobile unit in the works canteen and during my first month of work after leaving school.

      Had a very good friend who made a century of donations. 

      I have twice been on the receiving end  of the blood transfer system. Just two "units " in total.

  8. I was minding my own business earlier today, sat in my own railway room, contemplating an aesthetically pleasing pannier tank, when I heard an advertisement on the wireless for the LNER! Yes, the LNER! The effrontery, bringing the name of that railway uninvited, into my own private sanctum!

      Jet Packs???  but the border is not anywhere near "Close" and I don't suppose the engine referred to was ever close by the housing development. 

      Perhaps the name refers to a particularly rapid bricklayer?

      Don't think it matters which iteration, the very sound of those initials would send shivers down the spine of any civilised owner of a Pannier.

      Just heard of an !8-y-o saying "I'm not getting vaxxed -- they will be be able to read my bank Account" !!  "They" are not defined /  identified. there again, he/she may be dealing in those other things you can inject into your arm and has an account worth investigating.

      Don't know if it had anything to do with time or temperature but today SWMBO went posh and served up Cinnamon Swirls ! Very tasty but would rather have had a bacon butty.

  16. Whilst wandering around Dunham Massey yesterday realised I no longer understood youth, I've crossed the Rubicon into old age and I am that person who cannot relate any longer with the problems of being young.

  17. Big Mistake... Just bought and had fitted a new 6x4 garden shed to replace old one attacked by Rats from next  door's chicken run.

    40 years stock of bits that  "might come in useful" taken to the tip. Much anguish in the choice of what must go overseen by SWMBO.

    1. DonB

      DonB

      Property next door was rented, chickens and vegie tenants now gone, so new shed worthwhile. Rats dealt with by council for a very modest outlay, although we live very close to a farm, so wild live stock a constant hazard. Currently badgers wandering through the garden at night, we can hear their claws drumming on the path slabs, there's a sett at the far edge of the field behind our property. must be getting used to the sights and smells after 45 years here.

  21. I might have a fishcake for my tea tonight.

    1. DonB

      DonB

      Can we have vote on whether we care what you eat? Will postal votes be allowed ?

      Who will have a casting vote in event of a disputed count?

      What happens if the fishcake and/ or the chips go cold while waiting for a definitive result?

      These and other questions need answers!
