I still have family there, so an occasional visit is on the cards.

1989 was the last time i was in Folkestone, my mothers funeral.

Welcome. Two points:
Have you read from Page 1?
What day is your bin day? We need to know 👍🏼

Hi @PeteXXX, I could be mischievous and asking if you are referring to part 1 or part 2 but the short answer is no, I do have a life some of the time.

My bin day is Thursday, but I hardly notice because one neighbour puts one bin out for me and I share the other two with the other neighbour and the binmen come and fetch those. That's one area of my life that's quite well sorted DG.

Technically speaking, I'm qualified to translate from French into English. Dip.Trans. I think it was. These days I have difficulty translating English into English.

Parfait; tu peux m'aider. Une tranche de 50 pages te va? Retour avant ce soir? [and so as not to upset the mods by writing in a foreign tongue, I am enlisting @deptfordmarmoset to take on 50 pages for me by teatime]

Careful, that could make you far too interesting for this thread.

Well, that's got me well and truly frightened off! How did you manage to get yourself into such a tight deadline?

Schrodie has just woken up . He stretched out lying on the settee with his paws clenching and unclenching and half closing his eyes. I think he was going to go back to sleep but has now decided he needs a wash.
He is now looking at me with sleepy eyes !

 

[Illaveago]

Guess what ?





He's going back to sleep again !

 

[EltonFrog]

Has anything similar turned up ?
It's been a while now and you also posted a reward ?

Nothing, there’s two bikes the same but wrong size, seem to have been up for sale for weeks. I’ve got a new bike now, but I would like my stolen on back

Having yesterday stripprd down the circular saw because the blade guard & it takes that to refit it, I've decided the garage needs sorting, The exciting question is, how far will I get?

Mange tout mange tout, bonnet de douche! I can do it, cireur de chaussures

I think I was last there about 35 years ago, I was brought up not far away in Folkestone.

My grandparents used to live half way between Ashford & Folkstone in a small village called Aldington, so I was a frequent visitor to Folkstone as they always took us to the seaside when we visited as children.

Anyhow, today is bright & sunny but quite windy - a perfect day for line drying washing. My second load is on the spin cycles judging by the noise from the kitchen, while the first load should be almost dry by now. At least one more to go.

I've also completed the sorting & filing of the last 3 months worth of household bills & acounts and I'm just about to embark on the shredding of the older stuff. A cross cut shredded will be used for those interested.

I start a workshop clean up most weeks it lasts less then 10 minutes before I decide I have no place to put the stuff I want to keep whist I get to the stuff I don't & then have no way of getting rid of the stuff I don't want anyway

 

[EltonFrog]

I’ve just painted the chimney breast, it might need another coat later.

 

[PeteXXX]

I'm off to work soon.
Another 50 tons of stuff for folk to strip off the shelves...
