No FBG, too busy, have only just sat down.
Reason is Mrs L had a set to, obviously Mrs L won and the protagonist is now in the green bin.
However, the idiot piece of bedding, the quilt, has defo come out worse, feathers flew!
While Mrs L was congratulating herself.
I had to take it out of the quilt cover, all over the bedroom floor, the kitchen, the washing machine and drier.
The vacuum cleaner had to come out. Upstairs and downstairs.
The machines had to be de-feathered,
The bedding changed and washed again.
Of course normal operations had to be performed as well.
I'm knackered, it was the longest day yesterday and Only about five hours in my pit
I still have kitchen duties.

Mrs L wants more tea.
Gotta go.
Best wishes.

Hug and telling you you are everything you promised in your wedding vows and so much more are inadequate but the best I can offer. The humour in that post belies what must be/have been something most of the rest of us can only imagine. Take care of yourself. Oh, I've just read the Pink Floyd reply - I'll have a think about that :playful:

Good morning everyone on a bright and sunny start to International Stoic Week here in the dark and dangerous north. We were transported back to the 1970’s late last night by experiencing all the elastic trickery disappearing from the town. We shrugged and went to bed - it was all working fine this morning. Maybe someone turned it off and then turned it back on again to re boot a smart fridge that had forgotten to order more milk. Half term - how quaint. We have The Girl In The Bubble for the whole of today at least - the week will inform us as it unfolds. Art bit, wading through the shallows. Hope your day is a good one. I’m onto my second koffy already.

I like the art bit very much @dunelm

Nighttime wildlife video
Badgers - 4 - Ma Badger & Pa Badger - Boy Badger & his 3 legged brother.

Ma & Pa Badger have been visiting my garden together since early 2023. In 2023 they had 2 cubs Boy Badger & Girl Badger (I am just guessing at their sexes, but one looked like Ma, the other looked like Pa). Girl Badger stopped coming by the end of 2023. But Boy Badger (born 2023 still comes with his parents).

In 2024 a new young badger appeared. He/She has 3 legs, one hind leg missing, but gets about just fine, except it probably has to expend much more energy to move around.
You can see 3 legged Badger (born 2024) in the bushes with just 'his' head sticking out.

What they are feeding on, I haven't a clue. I have not put any food down. But I do have fatballs for the birds up above, and bits drop off. Sometimes the magpie and squirrels remove fatballs out of the feeders. I also have many worms in the garden, who curl up in the holes of my rubber mats mats (these are down to stop me sliding - no sun on this part of the garden in winter so it is mossy).

At the very beginning of this video you can see Pa Badger playing with one of those fatballs. Maybe he was also breaking it in bits for the 3 legged badger.

Pa Badger is the one interested in the swing...

Good afternoon regulars, one must keep regular as that famous Senator Senokota said. Talking of movements, so long Eric the ex-red, who's next? will Jim and Dave get fooled again for absolutely no marginal gain? No fbg to share but after a lovely day yesterday, including a video call with one of the bridesmaids who can still wear her dress forty years on - she was 18 at the time - three sons, a nursing career and helping run a farm and two other businesses in very Welsh Wales later. The discussion of human experience of time passing at seemingly different rates is a tad philosophical but in International Stoic Week (may be needed very much more after Nov 5) entirely appropriate - fits a theme. Two grandchildren slept over to save JKP driving into Cambs at stupid O'clock for collection. Reading bedtime stories, telling my own stories, then later four people in a bed - two of whom wriggle and flail constantly is a memory - I'd nearly forgotten and a pursuit I will happily embrace as long as God in his mercy grants me length of days. Nothing in Elsie Keto, healthy living, mindfulness or any of the other "helpful" lifestyle ideas comes remotely close to being told at 4.30 a.m. by a confused - where am I, where's mum and dad? - grandson or granddaughter, I love you grangrad, you are warm, cuddly and make me feel safe. May not help control your bg but in the big scheme of things it is infinitely more important. @dunelm enjoy your time with TGIB and thanks for sharing the art, another piece I like. Tomorrow is pumpkin selecting day for four of our grandchildren - can I do a DJT weave and is three too young to explain the difference between All Saints and All Souls day? You've all done very well reading thus far, now trot along and enjoy Monday.

Thank you @ianpspurs. Look out for tender pumpkin leaves - the are a good substitute for spinach I believe.

Didn't he play for Milwall? - obviously a double 'ard bar steward What is the scouse equivalent of the Milwall brick?
Click to expand...
The only one I could recall from a reds bias, was a Tommy Smith.
From the whites it was another red called Ron Yeates.
Both really hard not only through their tackling but their no nonsense defending.
From the blues, Mick Lyons would walk through a brick wall for the ball and known to play with injuries.
And of course Dixie Dean, a birkenhead youngster, who of course went to Everton, had a plate in his skull. When he headed a leather ball, it stayed hit! It was said to be harder than his shots.
From Rovers in the nineties, we had Yozzer Hughes and Dave Higgins. Phenomenal hard.

Only been to Millwall, the Den, once.
It was really fun.
Reminded me of the docks around the Mersey back when I was a kid.
And the really hard men, who became hardened due to the life they led.
We had a stopper, a ratter, put him in row z! Etc.
And when started in Sunday league, and semi pro, there was always a destroyer...
We could defo do with a couple now.
