Nice chewlips Byker!
But those clogs look rather too cumbersome for clog dancing.


I'm just popping out for a minute...

I may be some time.

[Still Mulling]

Curry tonight. In a restaurant. With friends. I think that means I'm going out-out. I'm scared...been a while!

[Mr Magooagain]

Nice tulip photos there Byker.
Some decent news about your dad bobbers, hoping it all goes how it should for him and you pal.

IOTN. I’ve just applied and payed for my uk passport renewal. All very easy online but I’m out of pocket by £120 smackers!

Bon weekend à tous.

[Bobberoo]

Thanks for the kind words chaps.

Amazing pics there Byker, some absolutely stunning colours, but my god those are some impressive clogs, or, the chap wearing them is really tiny!!!

Have a great time out-out tonight Still Mulling!!

I have some Ivor news!!!!
The nice man who is supplying the update for the satnav emailed a link to the 2017 update and told me to try updating to that first................... success!!!!
So it's at least now working again and updated to 2017!!!

That's our youngest, he's 6 foot 2.

He'll grow into them. Meanwhile an extra pair of socks will do the trick.

I got the powerful charge port

Loving the Dutch photos there, Byker.

Good news ref. your dad, Bobbers.

And can I confirm whether Battert will undertake the induction for our new HoS? Let's lock the tanks away if so, please and t'ank you.

I'll ask him when he gets in from his line dancing classes.

So the flower festival/ gardens was at Keukonhof. Amazing organisation, no queuing, drive straight into the car park, walk in scan tickets etc.
Probably 30-40k people there today and it's so big it didn't feel busy at all

Left there, dropped of sons girlfriend and her friend at Leiden train station as they're having the weekend in Amsterdam.

Had a stroll around Leiden, another nice town full of canals, shops etc.

So that's Breda, Rotterdam, the Hague, outskirts of Amsterdam, Leiden and back. 2 hour drive each way.
Tired, so into the fritteur at the end of the street for a chicken kebab and chips, washed down with a beer.

Even picked up a MS keyboard for my surface Pro for 22 Euros in Leiden in a CEX. Result

I'm back! I've ackcherly beened back a while, and have cooked a nice salmon fillet for my din-dins with broccoli, sweetcorn and a ramekin of cheesy mashed potato, onion, garlic and courgette, all done in my air-fryer.
It's simply a far better way to cook, I wish I'd bought one sooner! Faster, cleaner, more energy efficient, what's not to like?

IOTN, There was no Erdinger Alkoholfrei in the Asda delivery but I did get lucky with my Haribo Starmix.


Glad you've managed to update Ivor's satnav, Bobbers, even if it doesn't include all the new 20mph speed limits, low traffic neighbourhood road blockages, revised one-way streets, bus gates, new bus lanes, psychlepaths and the Sarfamton ULEZ zones.

Yes Bobbers I have residency here. Passport cost was more due to my overseas application and postage.

An enjoyable evening watching stuff and savouring a beer.

Karcher patio.

Let patio dry.

Tip bag of dry ready mixed sand and cement on to patio.

Sweep it round with a broom until all the joints are filled.

Go indoors to await drizzle, drink beer and watch box sets of old detective series.

He has deliberately filled the car with hiffy equipment, to the point where there is no space for luggage. This is so that, when he and Mrs Bobbers spend time away, their luggage goes separately.

A gentleman's luggage always precedes him.

Just got back from our local Indian after a great chicken madras.

I shot under 100 today, haven’t done that for 25 years, it felt rather good. I’ve had a 25 year break and only taken it up again recently.

Your ruthless handling of the Bren has not gone unnoticed.

Spiny Norman is watching you, Hammo.

And I've been watching repeats of Bangers & Cash, which this evening featured a visit to see the said character at Solway Aviation Museum.

All good stuff.
