Physios been this morning, should have been here yesterday, she didn't turn up, and I had to phone and find out what was going on. :angry: She had my Good Lady walking, it was only 6 steps with the aid of a frame, but it was the first time I'd seen her on her feet since the end of January.

Daves...Some good news it seems.
The snow continues and will through Tuesday. Periodic shovelling will occur. Who needs a gym? If it were only a tad warmer this would be rain. Apparently this is the 3rd biggest snowfall in recorded Wyoming history. Only 30 miles north it has been dry as a bone. Go figure.
Tenkaykev, I was glad to see you managed to use frisson twice. When my kids were little, one would come home with an assignment to use a word in a sentence and one day the word was "dictum". Unfortunately, my wife overheard me say" No problem, son. How about, first they bent him over the table, and then they dictum". I believe she called me a pig and told my son to never repeat that, so of course it became part of our family history.

Now, monkers. I am not one to tell tales but someone told me you are rather good at it. Apparently you don't do it often but when you do....... @#%$&^÷@# KABOOM.

Dear kind Sir.

I strongly suggest that you find new sources for your information.

It would seem to me that it will be men who have much more experience. And I am led to believe that specialist web sites exist to help 'buddies' find each other. I hope this helps.

I can understand that, but, reading some of your posts about fettling bicycles, I had formed the impression you could turn you hand to most things? :angel:

It's true that bicycle porn does feature in my life and I enjoy polishing bicycles for my own satisfaction. I do not offer to polish the bicycles of others. Helmet porn does not feature in my life. I do not polish helmets for my own satisfaction or for the satisfaction of others.

I understand the delicate nature of the topic, and the reluctance of some to polish their own bicycles or helmets, but there is no shortage of advertisements for service providers advertising wide-ranging and unique skills for bicycles and helmets, even for the most discerning.

I should be on the second wardrobe but am on an enforced tea break. The blind man has arrived to put up blinds in the room I'm working in. I've watched him. It's depressing. He puts up a blind in the time it takes me to decide where best to start.

There seem to be a number of references to dubious activities while I've been away. I'm going to read the jokes thread and then get on with the wardrobe.

By the time I get back I expect those responsible to have settled down, had a brew and a biscuit and concluded they should content themselves with watching Escape to the Country.

Maybe that's where you've been going wrong. Putting them up with your eyes open.

I love words. The history of them and the sound of them. I subscribe to a couple of podcasts about the history of words and language. I'm slowly but surely trying to learn German, I started because at the time my daughter was working in Berlin. I went to visit a few times and felt I ought to at least be able to speak a little German, even though most Germans command of the English language is excellent.
I found myself really enjoying the process and was astonished how close the two languages are.

Your joke about "Dictum" brought to mind a joke along a similar line, only the one that I know is definitely NSFW.
It has the same structure as your joke. The class is given homework to think up a sentence using the word "Contagious " In class the following day the teacher goes around the class and the students read out the example sentence that they've come up with. When it gets to little Jimmy he tells the teacher that his dad had taken him to the Park the previous evening where they had watched the groundsman painting the Park Gates using a half inch paint brush, his dad had observed that " it would take that contagious to finish the job" 🤔
