Aaaaaanyways, footy is done for now. So it's time for me to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Never clean rollers til you've finshed the room/s simply put em in plaggy bags/wrap in 'clingfilm' and then if you're using '5 for 99p' rollers by all means bin em but i've got some 'pro' level rollers that were £8-12 each*, I've had a couple of those for 30+ years

* that's just for the tubes, the 2 frames (one 9" the other 12") were about £25 each, beech handles with threads in the bottom for extension poles

yes if I haven’t completed the job I wrap mine in cling film I do the same with brushes.

Yep I use the cheaper rollers Right tight wad me

We call them Sticky Willys.

As kids we called them Bobby’s Buttons No idea why.As young innocent kids we would not dared to have called them StickyWillys If you believe that

Just been over the fence to hack down nettles and 'cleavers' (had to look them up - those very sticky weeds). They have gone mental over the fence and invaded the cat run, so the cat's are coming in with the seeds stuck to them. Hacked them back away from the cat run, but I'm covered in nettle rash - some were 4-5 feet tall (it's a field behind our house).

Bike washed, it was minging. Combination of dust and oil over the jockey wheels, and the chain was horrid. All clean until next time.

Get yourself a slasher. Then you've the extra length of the handle to provide a greater swing.

Just keep it sharp.

A supper of assorted bitsas (all now eaten) and a nice garden salad. Followed by about half a punnet of some gorgeous Scottish strawberries.

Might have come from near here, or possibly over in Angus?

Practicality. I do a fair bit of foraging, plus it's good to exact revenge on things that usually make you cross

Crumpets and Sauvignon Blanc - delicious!

I pick the tips and dry them for herbal teas. Very nice, too, especially when mixed with mint.

Scary, isn't it?

Fortunately, I feed Royal Canin dry food, which isn't affected.
