They're keeping out of "batting range".
Blimey! That took me back 60 years!
I was standing in the school playground one second; the next, I was coming to in the nurses room.
Apparently, another lad was demonstrating his authentic aboriginal boomerang, a Christmas present from his Australian Auntie, to his mates.
I can assure you that they are very effective! :eek:
I had to have 6 stitches.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I have returned from the Metropolis. The weather is horrible. Cold, damp, dank and hissing down as well as really misty. That's it for another month thank god.

Not many people in Morrisons today. It was very quiet and there were only 2 members of staff serving. Bloody stupid.

I hope Mrs @dave r feels better soon. :hugs:

😊 I've just found my train-set in an old suitcase!
Was going to say you’ll be hoping for a boy, but realised how much of a tomboy I was so loved train sets, Scalextric, etc :laugh:

YIKES!!! :eek:

YouTube did its thing and recommended miscellaneous videos to me. I was curious about a short one...

For very obvious reasons...!



The owner of the car explains in the comments that he was abroad at the time. His wife was driving his daughter down the M4 when a rear wheel came off the car, probably due to overtightened wheel nuts.

Amazing luck that nobody was killed!

Congrats Archie_tect. I've heard it said the best justification for having kids is grandchildren. We've only seen ours once since he was born in October due to Covid, Mrs 12's health and the 500 mile round trip. I am sure we will get shots within a month and try for a trip between the winter storms.
I will take a page from your books in a bit and go for a stroll...biking in -14C is doable but not appealing.
Dave r, best wishes for your wife, tough times to be ill that way.
We are off to see the cancer doc today, which I've come to dread. Mrs 12's port is clogged on top of the regular worry, but hopefully they can clear it out without needing a surgical replacement. We will be there for 2-3 hours and thank God for ebooks. I get to go in to talk to the doc but not the other stuff and a book will be nice.
Cold and windy today, per usual for this time of year but also very sunny which is cheerful.
Old wheels I sympathize with the jolly fun mounting Marathon Plusses on 16 " wheels. I've trashed the beads and pinched the tubes on more than one.
Be careful, safe and warm.
