Hear hear PM...shhhh don't tell anyone but I've just staggered back with 40kilos of coal (not smokeless) several bags of Kiln dried logs & this is the most secretive so shhh several bags of wet logs (the outlawed ones) will be lighting the fire soon...if the evidence has gone there's no case M'Lud...absolutely cream crackered now.
Love it MC reminds me of the church yard in the classic scene from Dickens Great Expectations...when the prisoner grabbed Pip by the gravestones (not that there's a church yard in sight)...beautifully evocative but a little scary.
It’s very nearly road kill season over the moors and this year we are promised a large number of road kill carrots and mangle wurzles. Sad really, I do like a bit of rabbit and pheasant.
Pillar fruit trees will be on order pdq - probably 1 more session removing all trace of previous stupidity. Flying machines galore but also surrounded by forest and vast stacks of tree trunks/logs everywhere. Interesting mix.Good Morning and a 5.8 today. Windy and wet here I was hoping for a Muddy Bike ride, some sun promised, fingers crossed.
I feel we will be demanised into not burning wood, I burn only Kiln dried but already my neighbours are keen to point out 'you won't be able to have your wood stove lit very soon' A bit like what will happen with diesel and petrol cars. A changing world.
Agree re Tilley Hat but so useful, UV protection, warm and cool, looks better the older it gets and it can be washed. Apparently even guaranteed to be replaced if lost or wears out no matter how old. Love the view from your window.
Sounds good fun, I used to love flipping them, the higher the better. Enjoy!
Wow, another winning piece of art. A dark brooding place of vast heights, or a gentle flow between some small rocks, I can see either depending on how I look at it.
@dunelm Trampoline! I'm impressed with your present aches and pains, take care.
@ianpspurs you seem to be cracking on with your garden, when is your first crop going in?
So enjoy today and be adventurous.
Thanks it was really nice. I bought the cod loin and wondered what to do with it but looked in the cupboard for inspiration and put the jar to good use. Mr PM approved too. Next time I will do it on a bed of wilted spinach. No 1 son is visiting us Thurs to Sunday to sell his car which has been hardly used since he went and of course he’s off to the footie Thurs night. It will be hard to keep tidy for viewings so much going on. I wonder what the hermit’s life was like there.
A11 between here and Thetford regularly has deer by the side of the road. Not muntjac these are large. I assume hit by lorries as they would make a mess of most cars. Quite a new hazard for us.
Just had a call from work told them I was ill and staying at home...I have ventured out for kitten food logs coffee & coal essentials lunch is in the oven no intention of going out again...C&L having a wonderful time charging in & out the garden door open for half an hour...Lola bless her proudly presented me with a small twig with a couple of leaves sprouting from it...she's a generous soul.
I will try to give up carbs for Lent this year, I think.
I don't believe any of us here are 'pet fixated' or lack a sense of humour...some of us are animal lovers and some subjects are just not funny...if you know your posts may offend why on earth do you post them?
I would just add that owning a pet and having a sense of humour are not mutually exclusive as many forumites regularly prove.
Used to scare me that scene, still have nightmares about it.
