My granddaughter found more than 50 conkers in Abington Park this evening, on her Brownies Nature Walk.
45 of them went rolling down the road outside her house when I dropped her back home as she'd bundled them up in her Brownies jacket and then dropped it.

Mrs MY gave our grandson a conker the other day. He was delighted, tho' he did call it an acorn.

I'm not sure if they're allowed them at school these days.

I am beyond knackered, brewing a sturdy headache have had a crap day at work and moan moan moan. Its going to be a slow slog of a ride home then bath and bed I think.

That was me yesterday. I had a stonking headache yesterday evening and it has taken most of today to feel normal again.

Just in time for work tomorrow

I had a headache yesterday as well. I gave up and went to bed at 3pm and it was still pounding at midnight. Thankfully gone today.

Home and going very wrinkly in the bath.

Early bed I think.

Nanight chums.

Sorry to hear about all these headaches.

What sort of place do you live in... My images in my head are from TV and films...where people seem to have a fairly large lawn out the front with a big drive too or are you more of a city dweller? But if you were I couldn't imagine needing a ride on mower... I'm afraid I'm stuck with a few preconceptions when it comes to the USA, and yet it's such a large place that there must be a huge variation in townscapes! (Sorry I'm being nosey)

I've often wondered how where he lives compares with the UK

Here's a very nice Mitsubishi commercial (They've since closed their plant) The church steeple you see is a gigantic Methodist Church about a mile from my house. I know or have met nearly every one in this commercial. The mayor also owns the bicycle shop. Mr Ropp, the farmer seen milking the Jersey, also has a farm shop with good cheese, which I ride past sometimes.

Promotional film with laughable hyperbole in the narration.

Land is not at a premium, so I have about 1/3 acre of ground, as most people do. I live on a little rise in a cul-de sac in a subdivision. Because I was first there, I chose the little hillock. As you can see, decor of the city is quite English, quite Teutonic, and a good bit of Irish thrown in as well.
I need a ride on mower mainly because I walk with a bit of difficulty, and am no youngster anymore.
I'd have a picture of my street, but I think that's on a file drive in the safe deposit box.

That's great but a shame Mitsubishi pulled out. Did you have one of the cars?

It sounds a bit wild out there. The first of the Autumn storms by the sounds of it but at least it is dry.

Thanks for your reply though I'll have to wait till the morning to watch the videos! Otherwise I will be in trouble with Me Summerdays!

My son would love it if we had a ride on mower, but we can't really justify it in terms of lawn. Just a small handkerchief out the front, and a bit more at the back.

Not sounding too bad out there, a bit of a breeze and a light pitter patter of rain drops on the window sill!

I have put shoes and socks on for the first time in months...... and I'm now regretting it.

It is rather windy but still mild enough for for sandals.

That's where carrying the kitchen sink is good... I'd have packed my Birkenstocks if I thought it might be nicer later!

Thankfully I have some sandals at work.
