One I worked on..

Barely...
youngest Mhor brought chocolate cake..
stiff upper lip needed

We had one dollop of hailstones, a brief flurry of yohoho but a pleasant day altogether..
When you look back and ask yourself did I really do that! Questioning yer sanity at the time.
The pick and shovel days are long gone now though.
You were young, once...

Did it float?

I prescribe an extra day of complete rest. It might happen, it might not.
That were nice of him, did you get any.
Bad cake?

There's talk of similar for these parts. Only talk though.

On the left leg, we were on (an outside)sky climber working with the grout men who were pumping grout through, it started to blow up and we had to tie the sky climber and us to the leg holding the crane just below the top of the tower.
It was an uncomfortable couple of hours...
glad to finally feel solid ground..
and went back up in the afternoon :laugh:

Aye, left me some..
Cake is never bad..
pancakes too..
better go down and get mine:okay:

2.5c just now...

How high above ground level were you when it started blowing. And were water deep enough to jump in if you had to?
Stuck on a tiny platform, with only one quick way down.
Did you get extra for going back up to finish off in the afternoon?

Only left you some! He didn't bring it just for you?
Mebbee have a point on the cake front.
Suppose that what he left for you has been eaten, what'll you do.

Snowing here...

I'd always thought about 200 ft...
I'm sure there must be something online giving details..
It didn't really matter as kinda hard solid concrete was the landing material..
It'd be strawberry jam time....

back up? when you'd a Norn Iron ganger at 6ft 8in built like a bricktoilet..
you did what you were told..
it was me and him from the morning...
he was a great help telling me what I'd look like if we fell, charming:laugh:

It was his aunt(one of) who brought the cake...she's the youngest Mhor.
Wee fella is Beag.
I'd buy another

Rain here at the Towers...

Not too high then, survivable if you hit water the right way.
You thinking of giving it a go, or just seeing if there was a way down?
Sgt. Major time.

Did as you were told, just in case. Always sensible when you're not working at ground level.
Didn't stop you going back up though.

The aunt of the guy you used to work with?
Too much cake causing a sudden growth spurt. Tell him he'll have to stop eating cake for a while, and you'll help him.
That, or he can go to school with the rest of the kids his height.
All for yerssen?
Did you get yer pancakes yesterday by the way.

Unable to make its mind up here.

Similar here, clear sky overnight.
Toodles heading south this weekend?
Tornado warning issued for parts of the southern end.

As in there'd never be a time when they'd say "No".
Who doesn't like chocolate cake?
Average height is on the up, so he'll be outside the average from the sound of it.

Hot cross buns! It's not Easter yet.

Ordered paint from yon orange sign big company as they had a good deal on emulsion....
First batch delivered to store was a disaster (cans leaking, dented etc)so instead of 3 x 5 ltr cans we got 6 x 2.5 ltr cans..
I made a further order for another 15 ltrs last night..
next day pick up.....
I get text and email at 7.55 am this morning saying 'in store' so we leave and head over (we were going elsewhere) and as we left here another text comes in and says order collected.....
whit?
we arrive, m anager gets called and there was no problem with his explanation, so we'll be back
not long ago, I missed a call, one ring then nothing.
a text comes in THEN another saying order collected..
I give them a call, apparently the texts were for yesterdays order..
and our order awaits..
Mrs M on her way..
Hopefully our painter needs it all LOL..
he did say 20 would do but Mrs M may want more done but if not we can return unused..
almost as bad as the time we ordered a whole kitchen from them, we eventually got it twice....
the palaver trying to get them to take it back?

apart from that,
coffee in garden centre with a cherry scone, lovely

then we did some garden tidying,
old stuff dumped at skips site..
time to get some seeds going (next week)

Do you always get let back in though?

Their instore ordering system is a joke, when it's working correctly. When it's failed on me, its been orders sent to the wrong store or wrong part(s) sent. Apparently a 6 on their system can look a bit like an 8 due to the font used.

You didn't try talking down the price of the dented can's? Leaking, I'd have done the same as yerssen, left them.

Remember, computers are going to make shopping easier. Especially when ordering stuff.
Not from what I've seen they ain't.

Have fun returning an order that were collected twice, according to the computer.

Decent cup of coffee?

You going with yer guttering again this year. Roses in yer garden, or food.
Yer gardens all neat, tidy and ready to be opened to the paying public...
