I presume they mean this:



Not that most people actually do that in normality on your island? Or is this what it's like every afternoon?

Only ever seen that at Highland Games and is just an ego trip for mothers and wee girls.
At community dances it is much more rumbustious versions of Country Dancing particularly as the evening wears on and alcohol has some effect on coordination.

Popped out for a walk before postman due as expecting parcel. Postman came whilst I was out. Why do they come much earlier than usual when you’re expecting something?

The flip side is waiting in and they come much later than you expect.

There’s half left for tomorrow and a bit of cream too

Have ice cream on top, crumble gets stuck to ice cream - crunchy ice cream.

Warm, mostly sunny and somewhat blustery here chez Casa Reynard, with showers lurking in the area.

Slept a bit too well (oops). After a lot of running around this week doing stuff for the parental, I decided that I was going to have a "me day" today, so I spent the morning prepping some of the parts of the Higman model for ready for priming and painting. They're some of the first parts I made, so there was a good bit of filing, filling and sanding to do. Have resorted to wearing a face mask, because the dust is making me sneeze and has given me a very dribbly nose.

The washing up liquid bottle ended up being a bit of a bust as it was too small for the size of panels I needed to make, so I will have a rummage in the recycling wheelie bin for a 4 pint milk bottle and see if that's any better.

I've also done some writing. I've moved onto the next chapter even though I'd not entirely finished the one before - it's a slightly different segment of the story, so it doesn't matter that there's a break. I just wanted a change of scenery for a bit. I'm now having fun with the reaction of one of my characters to a book which includes a photograph of topless grid girls. The existence of the photo is based on a very real story involving Gerry Marshall and a Castrol promotional shoot...

I might pootle back to the community orchard later, seeings there's still a reasonable amount of both Murfitt's Seedlings and Cottenham Seedlings left, as well as the Dr Harveys that my friend and I scrumped. And there's a bumper crop of Lord Burleighs, which is a keeping dessert apple.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

Sold a bike.

Say what you like about our rather traditional culture, but teenagers are possessed of the ability to deal with social situations with people of other generations. They are also respected for it.

I always feel sorry for the copper dealing with it when they hide drugs up their arses, can't be pleasant to deal with.

Especially when the poor copper gets shouted at by his Sargent to hurry up lad get your finger out

Currently testing and sorting the used lights in the store. Most of them seem to be duds so it will soon be time to frighten the accounts department again...

What are the requirements for selling bikes in Germany?

Time to go into town to buy some wedding anniversary fizz

 

[woodbutchmaster]

No, some other furry little tyke.
Car no start. Quick get taxi
Late for plane, missed plane.
Eventually arrive HK, one day late
Client pissed, argue over fee.

Still have to fix car.
Return home.
Guy in car parts store laughed when I wanted a set of HT leads.

Shares the intelligence that 3 other cars in my street got done that night.
The little bu$$ers like the smell of the particular material used make the leads
Then sells me a can of repellent.

Furry little blighters have a lot to answer for.

Life gets tedious at times don't it

Ohh managed to win some lightly used Shimano winter ROAD boots on ebay. Bid a day or two ago and forgot about it. Only £40, but these are £150 new. I've already got Shimano MTB Winter boots and they are the dogs danglies !

I've just come back from a ride over to my brother's and back . 12 miles . It is sunny but there was a strong head wind on the way out on a couple of the lanes that I had to go down . I thought I had better take advantage of the weather and do a bit of exercise .
