A spade is the one for digging holes in the garden, a shovel is used to take coal from a heap and put it into a bucket so's it can get fed to the heating. Namely one's for cutting and the other is for scooping.

Back from a pleasant 4 mile walk around Delapre Abbey grounds (a Civil War battle site (10th July 1460)) followed by a little snooze on the settee 😊

May have been War of the Roses.

A spade cuts into soil etc while a shovel with its curved carrying form is for moving material.

The Wars of the Roses & The Civil Wars are all part of the same 'disagreements', I believe.

The filter cartidges have been changed on both of my water jugs (one in the fridge for cold drinks, the other next to the kettle for coffee).

Also, my comment on chocolate oranges the other day now needs to be changed

I've got I had a dark chocolate one in the back of the cupboard from Easter this year

Trust you to throw a spanner in the works!

OTOH, how many people actually *have* one of those? Cos I don't...

@Reynard - I do buy quite a few currently as a) I do all the cooking but am getting home late every night currently due to an unpleasant teaching timetable and b) SWMBO can't cook. She may be a Dietitian but any 'cooking' is either burnt or under-cooked. Ready meals are a safer option.

I thought it was just me who lived in that sort of environment.

That's not a spanner!

I've one in the shed.

My eyes have gone all screwy from inputting Superstox race results into the relevant spreadsheet. The text in those Wheelspins is tiny. And rather faded. Time to go and rest said eyes.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Walkers are now producing Christmas Pudding flavour crisps.
Personally - YUK - !

Where will it all end...?

Good morning.

Woke early because one ear was clagged up with wax. Application of Hydrogen Peroxide dealt with this.

Good morning from a damp and overcast Suffolk. Halfway through the first coffee of the day before heading off to Brands Hatch - judging by what the rain radar is showing, it's going to be a very wet drive.

Morning it is raining here.

Did anyone on here ever own an Emmelle bike ? I'm just curious as to what they were like . I never wanted one as the name put me off !

The company should have got its money back from whatever marketing company they used that suggested that name !

Emmelle Empstead!

I'm not up. It's precipitating it down. ☔
