I like to think we're all of an age where insults are like water off a duck's back.
We've all been there, done that and got the T shirts.

Spent the morning cooking tonight’s tea, mowing the lawns, then trimming the hedges. Very warm.
Have now caught up with this morning’s good news from Sturgeon that she plans to drop the 5 mile rule a week on Friday - thank heavens ! And better still, she intends to allow self catering holiday accommodation to open from the same date, so things are looking good for the Nethy Bridge cottage we’ve booked in August.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
When I rode into town this morning I was hoping that the best shop in town the haberdabberbaddersers was going to be open. They were not. They are planning to open on 1st July.

As I mentioned earlier, on Saturday we drove 300 miles round trip to spend a couple of hours picnic with our sons and their wives. Most of this trip was through the Shirley basin, 100 square miles with not much besides antelope, prairie dogs and cattle. I've enclosed a pic of the Big Empty. At one time black footed ferrets were thought extinct, but a pair were found in Meteetse Wyoming and a colony was established in the Shirley, which since their prey are prairie dogs, is doing ok. However, as I was leaving the booming metropolis of Medicine Bow, (pop 264) I began accelerating too early which resulted in a $165 ticket. This was the 3rd speeding ticket in 25 years and the second was a mile down the road from Medicine Bow about 15 years ago. Some people never learn. There is something about places like the Shirley that calls to me... I would really like to take my sheepherders wagon, getting close to completion, and spend some time out there contemplating my navel. Can't really leave my wife alone, though and doing this would not ring her bells.

just got the phone to a mate of mine, he's old Bobby retires less than three months. at many police stations in Poshshire, and indeed the UK, there is a gym but because of the coronavirus regulations they have been closed. With the announcement from Boris that gyms will not be reopening on 4 July he was telling me that coppers all round the station are grumbling and moaning - he reckons it's great fun watching the bodybuilders panicking because they think their muscles are shrivelling up! I've got a fairly expansive free weight set up and basic bench at home so I'm all right Jack.
As far as the bobbies go, the bakers have been open so the pie consumption could of been kept up.
Another horticulture question.
Just had 2 large(ish) wooden planters made for a patio area........they are approx 4' x 2'. I will put visqueen stuff in but could do with something on the base to aid drainage.
I have no polystyrene and with big stores closed not able to get any.
Loathe to put stones in because of weaight.
Any suggestions?
Does it really matter ?

I often get the cheapest, basic Aldi pizzas and throw a load of extras on eg extra cheese, mushroom, peppers, onion (whatever is in the fridge). Why people pay stupid money for a delivered pizza is beyond me.The raised beds have been parked ... it's 28 degrees here ..... the 3 girls have gone to a pool party at our friends 4 doors down and Con and I are in hiding
