No skirt on the Sherman?

If I had a Sherman, I'd want all the supplementary armor I could get. Pershing was far better.

Came along later though.

Ah Oban.... and it's got the best chippy in the world.

Indeed it has, and right by the harbour

I think they said it was recovered by the French and eventually used as target practice . If the engine which was outside on a stand came from it I would imagine that it had sat in water for a long time .
It was interesting to discover that some of the caissons served another useful purpose after the war in plugging up holes blown in the dykes in Holland .

I won £4.50 on last night's EuroMillions draw. But it won't change my life.

It might have done if I'd been French, however; I'd have got €7.60. In fact, all the prize returns are higher on the continent than they are here.

We are being diddled by Camelot. Who knew?

Still raining here and a bit nippy, might have the woodburner lit again tonight.

I have received good news about my Mother's house. The first people to see the house, put in an offer, at the asking price, that day (Monday). Their offer has been accepted (Wednesday) and, so far, they have not withdrawn the offer. Some other potential buyers put in a offer, then withdrew it.

Yes I know there are people out there who play silly Bees when buying a house. These people have their deposit saved, the mortgage approved (in principle) and they are moving out of rented accommodation.

I sold my mother's bungalow last year, in preparation for her moving in with us in a larger house. It was very stressful, especially since it was 150 miles away! I hope all goes well.

I'm back and I've brought some weather with me !

Yeah, we experienced it!

Yes ! I brought it up from the South West .

Brought implies you didn't leave it behind.

And now we have

Hmpf

Bright and sunny here, but it's blowing one serious hooley out there.

Only one boat was left outside the harbour yesterday.
