Look @potsy a healthy kebab.

I brought some souvlaki seasoning back from Greece, so I had to try it out.

View attachment 411519
About the only kebab we have here is the souvlaki. (Because I'm too cheap to buy ground lamb((very expensive in the States))and Mrs. GA has a somewhat restricted diet.) Most of the time, over here, when people mention kebab, they mean a souvlaki.
 
You mean the brass shell casings? Yes, I have a few of those knocking about :blush:
No , I mean the steel bit which sometimes comes out of the brass bit rather rapidly . It is okay as it's empty, it looks a bit like a rusty , heavy Thermos flask minus it's cup, the fuse bit is missing . I was giving it a bit of a clean last night and noticed a "P " stamped into the rim. I was wondering if it stood for pointy end or practice ?
 
When I came down this morning Schrodie wasn't climbing the door to greet me. I assumed he was still asleep behind the curtain . No ! Perhaps he is outside up the garden. I went to the back door and tried whistling . Ffff, Ffff ! Why is it you can't whistle at times? Still no Schrodie !
I was starting to feel a bit concerned . He hadn't been in since last night as there was some food left in his bowl. Did I lock him in my garage accidentally?
I opened the main door, no sign! I then opened the side door , nothing. I was starting to think that he had been locked in somewhere. I looked in our glass greenhouse . Nothing ! I went across to our other greenhouse. There he was peering through the glass at me . ? He was pleased to see me !

I am back from Cambridge. The flash floods in Rugby were interesting... particularly the one we got through - just (turned out we were the last car to manage it) which smelled like raw sewage. It was xx(. Then a detour to Milton Keynes train station and back to Cambridge. I swear the storm cloud was tied to our car. Couldn't escape it :angry:
However, home has :sun:.

Railway station.
 
I am typing this left handed with my right hand in the air . I thought. I would be good and feed the bids . It was going well until I filled the seed container and then it all went pear shaped ! I was just about to hang the feeder back onto it's hook and somehow it missed and fell, so I tried to catch it . It was quite heavy with a metal lid and metal sticky out things. I somehow developed a rather large V shaped cut in my thumb with the skin lifting, a bit like a pinch puncture in an inner tube but about half an inch long . We have washed it and put a plaster around it so it seems okay apart from me being right handed .
