Toasting her off with a Fever Tree Cola, which is increasingly difficult to find. Not really a fan of the hard stuff. Have cried lots. Whoever said grown men don't cry has no heart to love. You wouldn't be the first or last grown man to cry over a pet of any description, it's brought back many memories, in fact far to many. All the best.

RMweb Premium Popular Post polybear Posted October 7, 2020 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 Bear screwed up Drained the rads today, after first setting the Programmer CH to OFF. Only I should've done the same with the HW setting Realised what I'd done a bit later, when I heard a high pitched screech..... I knocked the HW off pretty quick, but the pump had obviously been running dry for a while. I may have got away with it, but I won't know until the system is refilled. If not it's a ton blown on a new pump. An expensive week, and it's only Wednesday. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post newbryford Posted October 7, 2020 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 HA (again) to Mr & Mrs Gwiwer. Our 25th - 3 years ago - was celebrated via Japan, Alaska and Canada. Plans are under discussion for the 30th - which coincides with a significant solar anniversary of my own. The main ones seem to involve long distances, with three forms of transport considered and ticking off continent number 5 on the bucket list (I very much doubt it will be all 7 though) Time to put the bins out - I think it's this week for the green one. Have a good octo day of October folks. 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erichill16 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Evening All, Been away for a couple of days due to work and family commitments. I do know that commiserations are due to Sir Topham Hatt and congratulations are due to Rick and Sharon. Regarding old cars, I did a favour for my elderly friend who was interested in knowing the value of his Toyota ‘spaceship’ with 200k miles on the clock. We Buy Any Car offered £100 and We Scrap Any Car offered him £150! Im having an early night as we’ve had the nephews for the last couple of days and I’m working tomorrow afternoon. So on that note I’ll bid you all a good night, Robert 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Know how you feel! We have them for many years, become part of the family, make us laugh, gives us someone to talk to and somehow we interpret their reply. We've had our current cat for nearly 12 years, her predecessor lasted till he was 19, so we are hoping for another long lived cat. Dread losing them!

RMweb Gold PeterBB Posted October 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Cousins - have found this interesting and 56 somewhere along the line. This led me to think just how many we have/had as 5 have already departed, one we haven't heard of since he moved, age wise he may now be deceased, one we have not seen or heard from for over 20 years and Australia wise - one but we have no idea as relevant uncle moved out there just after WW1 following demob. Last heard of in 1975 after which his address 'disappeared' although we know the surname survives as at that time we knew of 5 1st cousins once removed. Hence of the 14 nine remain.

RMweb Premium Popular Post Gwiwer Posted October 7, 2020 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 Evening all, Sharon and myself would like to thank all who have offered their generous greetings for our Silver Wedding anniversary. To say we are swamped with flowers is a bit of an understatement. We also have a significant amount of bubbly grape juice to enjoy in the near future. As we shall be away for a while any flowers which are still good when we leave will be offered to our most senior neighbours (they being 94 and 102 respectively) to brighten up the increasingly dark days. We shall of course not be offended if the offer is declined on the grounds of Covid security but the thought is there. 16 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PeterBB Posted October 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) John, remember Huw Weldon's Monitor. Our first dog many many years ago appeared as a surprise. Dad appeared one Saturday morning after 'club' and produced a black mongrel puppy. He had seen it badly treated by the son of the owner, was not happy and said that he would take it with him - agreed. The very first thing the puppy did was to chase a bird up the garden path and from that time on she was known as 'Beryl the Peril' and lived up to her name. She would happily let anybody in but not out and barked well. The plus, a would be thief was trapped and apprehended. Our last, a Labrador, was being hounded (pun not intentional) by a Jack Russell and BiL took pity on it and acquired it ... and brought her to us. She gave us 14 fantastic years and we know and appreciate Sir Topham's reaction to his beloved cat. In between times two cats were both lost unfortunately by road kill after which it was decided that there would not be another.

Popular Post tigerburnie Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 Evening again, Happy Anniversary to the Gwiwers, trust all who have celebrations can enjoy their day given the times we are now in. I have family scattered here there and everywhere, but we are not close, at a family funeral people were having to introduce themselves as we didn't know who was who. My Grandfather had brothers and sisters that his children didn't know about, odd lot. My Dad was from abroad, it was only after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dropping of the Iron Curtain that I was able to communicate with a cousin and she was able to visit us some years back, I have not been able to visit there yet, but time is running out with few of my relatives left. Sadly folk are coming to their allotted orbits round the sun, an old biker mate is in hospital just now and the outcome is not thought to be very good for him, now is the time where we make the most of every day, ya never know do ya? On that cheery note G'night all. 2 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to walk round slanted to manage Eldest did his first college teams lesson at home he has enrolled on a course. Where he does 2 days in college and one day online.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted October 7, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2020 Evening all from Estuary-Land. We had a couple of dogs when I was younger but the last one, a boxer had to be put down at seven years old because she had cancer and was in constant pain. After that we decided not to have another dog. It wouldn't have been fair on any animal later as I live on my own and was out at work for most of the day. 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted October 7, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2020 Good evening everyone Well I’d just started setting up the workbench outside when it started to rain, so everything went back inside. Intermittent showers throughout the morning prevented me from completing the task of re-building the shelving for the shed. So I decided to dismantle the rack whilst it was still in the shed. There wasn’t much room but after splitting in into its 2 parts, I was able to take the top part into the workshop, where there was a lot more space. I managed to complete the top part first I then moved the bottom part into the workshop where that too was dismantled. It probably took longer to do than if I’d taken it outside to do, which was the original plan, but the weather made that impossible without getting a good soaking. However, after dinner the sun was shining so I gave all the shelves (10 of them) as well as the 4 new uprights a good cleaning. I then made 2 cross members which will be bolted across the bottom the side uprights, to spread the weight a bit more evenly. It’s now ready to reassemble when the weather is better, hopefully tomorrow. The rain has once again started to fall from the sky, I’m hoping that the seaweed twirlers have got it right for tomorrow, or I won’t be doing the shelving. Goodnight all 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I withdrew money from an ATM for the first time since late May. I still had money left over from that withdrawal, but my wife wanted some cash and I was first to go in the direction of the bank. My method of buying things has changed completely since the start of Covid. Before then, I was very reluctant to tap a card - in fact, I had the tap function removed from the credit card before the current one. 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
