Morning all!! Doris is on her way.

Is that your pet name for reg?

It is hitting here tomorrow apparently, not sure we'll notice as it's already grey and wet.

I spent a couple of hours trimming back brambles and trees behind the house yesterday, and I've only gone and done my left foot in again. It seems the tendons & nerves on the top of the foot that leads to my big toe do not like any pressure on them. The top of my foot and big toe is in agony. I'm really going to have to be careful what I wear as the last time it took weeks to improve.

I remember Danson Park when it had an outdoor swimming pool.

I was in Hook Lane primary school today, picking up my elder granddaughter. They have some kind of nature thing going in there with an apiary and a butterfly house. Isabella saw a butterfly today, she said. But I'm more certain about the one I saw there a couple of weeks ago - I even posted about it on here. The school appears to have 3 houses named after scientists: Faraday, Darwin and Maxwell. Some good scientists there. But no place to lock bikes up in there, so it's not all good.

And the narrow end of the lake where it turns into a very slow-flowing brook has reverted to marshiness and almost stagnant water so maybe the frogs are back. I'll investigate with Bella.

The school used to be in Hook Lane, next to where the Tan'gun Taekwondo Academy is now, where they've built an estate. Where it is now was a market garden owned by the Storers, who lived in the house next to the school entrance in Faraday Road,

Aha, that would explain why the school isn't actually on Hook Lane.

I think I might have a fried egg sandwich for breakfast.

With brown sauce. Deal with it.

Have brown sauce if you like, but the rest of us know that you are wrong.

Just saying

In the last fortnight I have lost four pounds.

I should really get a new purse so that the coins do not fall out!

I like saying it so I will, for the benefit of @CarlP, "I may not always be right, but I am never wrong".

I also like saying, "I am older and I have more insurance". However, I am unlikely to follow this remark by destroying someone's vehicle, just because they have taken my parking space.

Can anyone name that film?

Have fun!

Ouchy! You have found out the hard way but as you say, you will have to find some alternative footwear for working in the garden.


I think I'd better do start the garden jobs today, before Doris hits it.

[QUOTE 4693492, member: 9609"]I don't want to go now There is no blue sky as promised, it cold and I can't be bothered. But I need my van for friday, and thursday doesn't look good with a foot of snow forecast, so it looks like I will just have to man up and get on with it. And its Berwick not Eyemouth, bit of an odd typo to make, but it is berwick I'm off too[/QUOTE]
Promise yourself some good refreshments when you get there and even though the sky isn't blue you'll still have amazing views.

Just back from a quick ride to grab a few bits and bobs, and nearly had an accident.... one of those where you can see them completely ignoring you as you pass the side road, came within inches before she noticed me shouting at her! Didn't even have the grace to look apologetic!

I'm with @Reynard, eggs come naturally sauced, you don't need a condement.

And to be clear, there is no culinary occasion that can be improved by the abomination that is brown sauce.

Lamb.
