@mudsticks J Clarkson is a chap occasionally seen on the television who is trying his hand at farming and various other capers (not nasturtium seed capers)
You might even get some tips on what to not do from him 😁

I'll pass thanks

I'm inventive enough as it is, when it comes to making the occasional hash of things..

I'm walking to the shops, soon. That'll be 4 miles exercise for the day.
Until I have to play Frisbee and football for an hour whilst granddaughter is at football training this evening, that is... 🙃

All threads still exist and some refuse to die away!
Satnav? I'm not sure how long it is since she posted..

She's still active on CookingBites, she did have a blog but I can't find it at mo.

Funny thing was, dad was an upholsterer and leather worker by trade, so good at doing things with his hands. But give him anything mechanical or electrical to fix and you were really in trouble.

Is that why you took up mechanics?

Morning.
Grey here this morning.
I might take my bike out to look for Damsons later. Our plums are almost fully ripe so there might be some down the lane .
I swapped my bikes over yesterday. I have dug my Raleigh Record Ace out. I haven't ridden it yet this year .

Theres a big fat wood pigeon sat on my veranda, they do like perching there which doesnt go un-noticed by the local Sparrowhawk. Occasionally one will whip up over the hedge and wham! goodbye wood pigeon and then a few days later
another will arrive to fill the vacancy but not for long...
I usually look out most mornings to see whats about and how the weathers doing, last winter i was surprised to see this visitor. The ground was frozen apart from under the hedge where it could probe. Pic taken through window and fence slats, Woodcock.

26th Wedding Anniversary today - off for a meal later.

Son's been out all night with St Johns Ambulance assisting with the Afgan refugees coming into Manchester Airport - he got in about 4am - a good 12 hour shift.

Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs Fossyant 🥂

Nice new toy @mudsticks

I would recommend downloading the manual or looking for one on the Bay of E. Better than poking and prodding things at random. My dad used to ignore any literature that came with stuff - with the inevitable consequences...

The usual advice given is "when all else fails read the instructions".

Panic is starting already as one of the food lorries could not get on a ferry.
Don't know whether it is Spar or Coop but one Spar shop in the south of the island reports significant number of items not available to him already without the hassle of no incoming supplies anyway.
Cannot think of anything I need to panic buy yet so all is temporarily well.
Just as well many of the holiday homes renters bring everything with them anyway so only local residents suffer.
They are of no importance anyway.

I thought the delivery trucks had a block booking..
