Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Leatherwork. I make stuff from leather. I have metal dies that could I could use a press for in cutting them out.
Oooohhh leather bloomers. I am all for that
Is that sleet or snow?

Sleet that's not snow, due to being to wet and too warm for it to fall as snow.

That changed to - late to bed, late to rise the week I retired.

Got back home at 3.30pm. One advantage of Covid is empty motorways. Set cruise at 70 mph and kept going.
Goodnight all or good morning if you read this when you get up.

It was PM when I got home on Saturday.
A quick hello to one and all.
I really wanted a proper lie in this morning, one were I actually slept till 08 00. I woke at 04.00 for a pee and did get back to sleep but was awake by 06.00. I can't lie in bed when I am awake (unless I am ill).
Last week I cooked tomato sausages but only half got eaten so I froze 5 of them. Yesterday, after they were properly thawed, I had a lovely sausage on toast sarnie WITH BROWN SAUCE (as it should be
).
2 left so today's lunch will be sausage, chips and mushy peas.........rather have beans but the peas are left over and I hate just throwing food away.

Good morning fellow retirees,
A couple of beers yesterday whilst watching the England Scotland game and working my way through a bowl of pistachio nuts. This was followed by catching up with a couple of TV shows, the Last Leg and Susan Calman who was touring in Wales. No sign of Welshie’s Bloomers unfortunately, but there was Laverbread.
Feel a bit “ Fluey” at the moment, probably a combination of the beer last night and the vaccine on Friday. Still no superpowers 🤔
Have a peaceful day folks

I appear to have missed that one. Must get it on catch up. Haven’t checked tonight’s telly yet but don’t think there’s much apart from Countryfile
It’s cold here with a slight frost. I think once we get next week’s cold temperatures and snow showers out of the way things look like improving the week after that. Certainly hope so.
Wales are playing today. If the scrum half is wearing pink bloomers it could well be Welshie
