This evening's research involves quality checking some Glenmorangie. Tough old gig but I shall bear up stoically

I can report that the aforementioned Seaweed & Aeons & Diggings & Fire is, on first tasting, very pleasurable. A bit of background peat - not like that Lafroag which seems to be a preparatory for hiccoughs while bog snorkling and a note milder than Lagavoulin. Please note that this is only a preliminary report and much research is yet to be conducted.
 
Yes, one must never, ever rush such delicate, vital work. I admire your public spirited attitude in undertaking such an arduous and potentially dangerous task on our behalf. Such nobility. Such breeding. I shall chivvy the Quatermaster that I may, perhaps, take some of the burden from your shoulders. Although I did sign a contract to test a couple of this year's Bourbon's, some Jamesons's and something offered by a Frenchman called Martin last Sunday. BIL's annual box of Laithwaites offering also arrived yesterday. The nation demands we bravely battle on.
If we ever unpack all the boxes I may have to employ someone to test everything.

Oh dear, that’s not very good. My temptation would be a gloves on delve for evidence of origin (in the garage) and the possibility of returning this lost property to it’s rightful owner singing Summer is icumen in.
 
Morning

6.2 this morning, can't wait to jump in the shower tonight!

Also can't wait until Monday, I'll be able to try and grab a nap in the afternoons again! Tried uploading a few pics of the bathroom but will need to have a mess around with them first as files are too large

My input @RFSMarch once I had stopped spitting feathers, is possibly to go through the bin bag, disposable gloves on of course, and find any address in it.

Then put a note stapled to the bin bag, take a photo of it before you take it to the appropriate address. The note saying something like, this bin bag has been dumped in my garden (but you don't have to say who you are, nor your name, nor your address), but as a concerned person you found their address in the bin bag and it looked like there were some private details in the bag (even if there is nothing else in the bag, they are not going to look through it anyway) and you are very concerned that these details could fall into the wrong hands, so you are returning it to them, and just letting them know, because of the concerned person you are etc. But don't give your name nor say where it was left.You do not have to ring or knock, just leave it there with the note, after all these are Covid times.

But do whatever makes you feel safe, and take no notice of what I suggest if you feel it will make things worse...
 
Good morning everyone on a morning laced with promise here in the dark and dangerous north

The wonder wheel of a spicy roasted red pepper and tomato soup ladened with crispy lardon croutons came in at 5.2 this am

@geefull - smashing festive art
@Muddy Cyclist - like the cards, do you buy blanks from somewhere? Your very festive contribution to the winter runway style is a triumph.
@gennepher - I do like this Zhang Daqian style landscape - impressive, colourful, detailed - smashing. All the best with the grotto.

boxes from a production to Tinsel Town have been portered by pack mule from the attic and decanted into the dining room - contents of some tea chests now adorning nooks and crannies in several rooms and strings of LED lights and mock greenery wound round the banisters. Looks as though I will be assigned novelty Jeux sans frontières activities this weekend. And I had so much planned; sharpening pencils, arranging brushes, sofa testing while multi tasking with the TV remote.
Watched Grayson Perry Art Club - he really is art’s answer to stand up satyre. Best only carry one tree decoration at a time backwards and forwards from box to tree in order to get my fitbit involved.

Have a wonderful Saturday. One little sketch today on a 9x6 rice paper sample. Koffy consumed but time enough for a refil.

 
Morning...just had a text with my covid test results it's negative so a three day turn around...off to celebrate with a coffee will catch up with the posts later.
 
Nowt so queer as folk.

painting for today in ZenBrush3
Inspiration from Zhang Daqian

Am getting a bit more used to this app...

Now I am waiting for that rare phenomenon called daylight to finish this grotto, but it is sleeting out there...

A staggering landscape, so long which must be quite demanding on a screen, well done.
 
Mr K reminded me this morning that I had bought a warm hood to wear when it got really cold. I had completely forgotten.

I bought it because it had one bad review. The review issued a warning that it was too warm for the UK weather. Obviously the perfect hood for me. Wore it this morning with my woolly hat over it and it was so warm and toasty.
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen.
A special mention for @gennepher , thank you for the sprout artwork, me and my alternative me's had a little chuckle.

A 6.2 on that meter of etc, etc. Here in Tilehurst Towers these meters and reading seem to develop a life of their own, I think it's something in the water.

Such bravery shown on the thread this morning by two of our stalwarts @dunelm and @ianpspurs risking all testing waters of life on our behalve.

Have a great day, hugs if required and stay safe when climbing ladders and step ladders when festooning your abodes with Christmas decorations.
 
I actually took it round the corner to the public bins. In normal circs I would have had a look see but in the middle of a global pandemic I didn’t feel too keen!

I dropped it by the public bins near the bus-stop this morning on the way to the physio.

Huge Star Wars and Star Trek fan so it was a double whammy of streaming joy for me with new eppies of Star Trek: Discovery & The Mandalorian and yeah I love them all!

Poor Mr K. He looks away for a moment and has to croon Hello, is it you i'm looking for? That man is a veritable saint. Please ensure his glass is kept well topped up tomorrow and don't interrupt the rugger. There's a good gel
 

yeah maybe I should have had a look but I just put it in the public bin near the bus-stop because I had no inclination to go fishing about in someone else’s garbage.

Oh well - too late now to do anything about it and no-one has come in search of their missing rubbish so ... if it happens again then I might post something in our group WhatsApp to see if anyone else saw it ...
 
Cute , huh? Christmas card from No3 son. Miss RMP - current baby of our brood's brood. The Cosy Coupe is a family tradition. Text says Driving home for Christmas - she may be hijacked by Nan and Granddad.

8.10am FBG 6.4.
Once again disturbed night due to torrential rain and leak above bed. MrSlim has arranged for us to view a different motorhome today, (he obviously doesn't appreciate the in bed shower) and after much discussion we have decided it will be impossible to adapt the current layout to suit us better. Out of gas again. Still no spare but at least van temp was up from 6c to 16c.
Bit alarming that the car was making unusual noise when we set out, but seems to have settled down now. Am full of anticipation, despite the odd noise, feels like a day out.
 
What a good idea @gennepher
 
You sure are a tough'un Lizzy. Praying for a good deal on a dry Motorhome for you then a return to wonderful fbgs. BTW, are you still in Norwich? That can't be helping
