In a pleasant or face puckering way?

I like. I have a very sore throat. I'm drinking it for its... ahem... phlegm-loosening properties. And it is highly effective. And the gentle, natural effervescence is deliciously painful.

A side note. I have come to learn here that things which are sweet in Blighty are not (anywhere near as) sweet here. They're not sour or sharp but you are struck by the complete absence of (added processed) sugar. It takes some getting used to, then when you do you get home leave and, shoot, the food in Blighty tastes of nothing but sugar.

Ditto. Caught the sun yesterday. Had to buy a gilet in town today to prevent hypothermia.

Bloody townies, covering everything in concrete and then wondering why it floods.

My appointment this morning started on time but the anticipated hour turned into two and a half.

At this rate I will run out of portable "work" I shall have to browse some more portable stuff to make... I don't think I would be very welcome at the various places he has appointments this week toting rolls of materials and patterns to cut and a sewing machine

We need to keep an eye out for Vernon's friend Greg from the West coast. He might be paying us a visit

@Hill Wimp you can take first watch. I'll take second and @The Velvet Curtain can take the night shift.

A squirt of gt85 up the nose end stops my saddle squeaking....

Will give it a go, cheers

At a guess, you're talking of the saddle's 'nose end'

I wasn't feeling very special earlier this afternoon so Dr Gwen my cat decided that I needed chest compressions, so she lay on my chest. After a while of me trying to have a nap she gave me a few words of comfort in the form of a meow and got off me. I couldn't decide if she had cured me or if I was beyond hope.

Indeed, it looks dull and boring, and I bet that water stinks. You have my sympathy.



That is a good question.

What ever it was it must have been good s***

I used to come home from work and watch it, there was a subtle humour way over the heads of children.

Yes it used to be one of my Dad's favourite programs, he used to watch it whilst having his tea.

Had a cra**y day at work today and came home with a lot of negative energy so I mowed the back lawn for the first time this year, did some weeding, it helped.

And yes, the #12 does go to Charing Cross, the end of the Strand.

The case manager came out today. The third party has agreed to fund their involvement, so they are going to chase my consultant for my scan results, have a chat with my physio, contact work about suitable 'furniture' and look into getting me a folding bed for the lounge (I'm still sleeping on the settee). I've also been advised to get some 'slip on' shoes as I'm finding doing my laces tricky, so bought a casual pair and work pair (I feel like an old duffer) and a shoe horn !!

Also popped to the gym tonight, 20 mins on the recumbent bike and 20 mins on the skier.
