Good morning All.
I have fed all the livestock, except for the Memsahib who likes to sit and think for a while before breakfast.
Later I'll be doing a shift in the charity shop where I something sit and do the cryptic crossword.
This afternoon may pass in a blur of headscratching and toothsucking while I attempt to unravel the mysteries of the Keihin carburettors I'm trying to restore for the Alleged Motorcycle.
Happily, the little batlets are still with us. The little female who I had been a little worried about, seems in better form this morning. She had a good poop in my hand at breakfast time, which I am pleased about as it means her little tummy is working.

Good morning all.
A slightly delayed start to the commencement of intense productivity today as it is daughter number 1's birthday.
Despite the fact she is now twenty-three (23) and, as of last week, a highly qualifed profeshinull don't y'know, she still expects mummy and daddy to wake her up bearing cards & presents, singing happy birthday and telling her she's special.
Which of course she is. And which of course we do.
On the stocks today is an actual meeting with an actual person in an actual physical location.
And later, birfday meal avec la famille.

Hot here already but I've hung the washing out. Should be able to get all beds washed, dried and back on the beds by lunchtime 
You're only supposed to wash the bloody bedlinen, Byker!Unless the actual beds are really messy, in which case a jolly good jetwashing is best.
Good luck Mrs Hammo's knee.
No doubt she'll be back on the Can-Can chorus line very soon at the upcoming Trivton WI Harvest Festival Spectacular!

'Tis indisputably a scorcher of a day and the ol' currant bun hasn't yet even reached its' zenith.
There were too many centipedes to count this morning in the conservatory, so I decided to not even venture in there, preferring to take my morning feast of Haribo Starmix and a pint mug of tea in the relative cool of the kitchen with the back door open.
Still, it's better than the opposite extreme of having the poor old tentacles frozen off.
Or is it? Which us worserer, boiled spuds or frozen nuts?
Please send me your answers on a 10/- Postal Order.
It would be nice if they could turn some of those wind turbines on to generate a bit of a breeze, wouldn't it?
Oh, by the way, you may wish to hear the results of this mornings' Elbow Test...
I shall keep you in suspenders for a little while longer for dramatic effect:
/ tympanic sandwich please...
Can you feel the sense of anticipation building to a crescendo?....
Well, here it is!

"Negative."
There, I bet that surprised some of you, didn't it! ?
It certainly took me unawares, I can tell you!
Watching last night's performance by our elite squad of Wendyballists, I was losing the will to live...

Eldest’s end of year play watched. Grabbing a cheeky café breakfast and coffee before going to have pins put in me by the soft tissue therapist. It’s not quite as abusive as it sounds.
Not quite.
Good to hear that the batlets are responding to your tender ministrations, Team _404. Jolly good show.
Magoo, I'm so sorry to hear about your poorly spuds.
After all your care and effort, you deserve better than the Luck of the Irish.
I hope the survivors can make it through to full term.
Poorly potatoes.
Is sad.

Morning all
I managed to complete 10,500 steps before 08:00, and now pottering around at home. It really is too warm for anything too strenuous

That's a very long flight of steps, Mr E.I managed to complete 10,500 steps before 08:00, and now pottering around at home. It really is too warm for anything too strenuous

What are you building?

I’ve cut all the growth away just leaving the spuds to take their chances in the ground. We will start to use them and see how goes like.
Manky plants all bagged up to go to the tip this afternoon.

As a matter of interest, do you have a good twin elsewhere who flinches when a pin is inserted into you? Or is this a single victim procedure?

Hmm. At least you will have been spiritually and physically fortified. Good luck with the voodoo doll routine.

Single victim. Although both of my calves have definitely been victimised! As a matter of interest, do you have a good twin elsewhere who flinches when a pin is inserted into you? Or is this a single victim procedure?
Good afternoon one and all!!!
I couldn't post at lunchtime as I was stood on a green overlooking the Solent saying goodbye to a dear work colleague/friend who some of you may recall sadly passed away suddenly back in March.
He wanted a quiet simple cremation with no ceremony, but asked that his ashes be scattered along Lee on Solent water, and so his family organised for his ashes to be scattered by a Spitfire today.
It was an incredible sight and very poignant.
I've walked down to meet Mrs Bobbers in this sweltering heat and am currently sat in Peanut sweating profusely!!!!

What a way to be sent off! That is, to correctly use a frequently abused adjective, a unique experience. A privilege to witness, Bobbers, and no mistake.I couldn't post at lunchtime as I was stood on a green overlooking the Solent saying goodbye to a dear work colleague/friend who some of you may recall sadly passed away suddenly back in March.
