Granddaughter #2 is in our bubble. [Our bubble rolleyes ] Anyway, seeing her grandparents sitting together in the garden she decided we were in her al fresco restaurant.



She gave us a handful of gravel each. A handful of cold gravel.

She's nine and, unbeknown to her, an apprentice Pythoneer.
Marvellous stuff. Utterly marvellous, fair brings a tear to my eye that does cloud9
Having two daughters I have sat through a few of those dinners. rofl

Just the glossing to do today and then I'm finished for the week with the neighbour's decorating, I'm hoping to get our patio furniture repainted tomorrow, weather dependant of course!!!

The paper is looking back at the Biblcal events of 1976.

There was the drought.



Oh, yes, and a plague of Allegro Estates.

And that was about it.

I remember it was blimmin cold in M&S if you went in for some relief from the heat. The assistants were wearing their cardigans.

We were at my in-laws when the rain eventually arrived. It was in the evening and we were sitting on their patio. We just sat in the rain, getting soaked and laughing hysterically.

Morning all bounce

Looks like Bobbers is approaching his final lap with the decorating, top work there old boy.
And there's a serious bit of humping to do across the Channel, mind you don't put your back out Magoo.

Not much to report here, we need to get a bit of shopping in so no doubt it'll be all aboard the Sportlich Leicht Kurz charabanc later for a jolly to town.

It's all go.

Good morning everyone.

I hope you're feeling better Bobber's.

Bank holiday here today so I'm going to work.

Wish me luck as I'm stacking heavy concrete pillar squares and filling with steel and concrete!

Wobble wobble.
That is one ambitious pergola you're building there, Magoo.

Morning all. wavey
Glad you're feeling better this morning, Bobbers. thumbup

When you're feeling crap, just remember this:
"You are what you eat."

If that's true, I'm a smoked haddock! bowtie

Grey, cloudy, but not raining here oop norf. Yet.

How come you two are up so early on a weekend?

Is this a weekend day? confused

Overcast but bright here on the Shropshire/Cheshire borders.
ApO is on early shift and Magoo is in a different time zone from the rest of us, S&M. rofl

Have the roofers told you when they're making a start yet?
The weather forecast for the next few days is looking promising, and warming up towards the weekend, so fingers crossed you won't be exposed for too long.
Nothing worse than a dripping wet man exposing himself.

How's your pooch coping with that bee sting? Poor bugger!

When I was at work I started at 6.

On furlough I’m up at 9.

I’m now this week getting up at 7, to try to get some sort of normality back.

Bobbers, sorry to tell you this.

I think you’ve been roofied old boy.

If there isn’t discharge, you’ll be ok. They wore a condom.

Why in this day and age is the correct thing to do.

In the ‘70’s you would have half an house brick sized dent in your head and multiple spunk trails over your back.

Hope this helps. thumbup

S&M, please can you define "normality"?

Still no word from Pushfit.
It's been 22 pages since he complained of his "blockage down below" and his plan for "getting rodded tomorrow". yikes

Not a peep from him since the 7th inst.
Not so much as a whimper. frown

Should we get Bomma to send Penrose on a reconnaissance sweep across no-man's land to gain a sitrep?
We can't afford to lose another valuable soldier in the fight for Triviality and Inconsequence.

And God knows what's happened to Peri Como... frown


Edited to carefully insert a missing 'n'.
Which ironically is usually Pushfit's job. rolleyes

Is this your way of saying you think he's been happed? Or worse still haped?

Not really, no, Dicky. nono
The missing 'n' was the first 'n' in "Inconsequence", so before my careful editing, it read "I consequence", which made no sense at all, consequently I felt compelled to rectify the typographical omission.

Now we are spiralling ever downwards into a state of utter confusion & incomprehension, which I consider to be something approaching normality here in Trivial Towers.
I notice StuntmanMike has so far failed to come up with the requested definition. He's still just a blur to me. wobble

I think I'll just go for a brisk lie down. smile

I wouldn't worry unduly about Pushfit for the time being, he's more than likely off on one of his "unscheduled breaks":



Doubtless he's again fallen foul of some petty bloody bye-law and inadvertently demolished a row of buildings somewhere, he'll survive though. He's done plenty of it in the past smash

As for Peri, Lord knows. I'll wager Northern Italy following a covert insertion.

It's good they're opening up these landmark visitor attractions again. Is there a cafeteria?

Quite a lot has happened this morning/lunchtime, I've now completely finished my neighbour's bedrooms, landing, stairs and hall, they're really pleased with it!!!
Next week I start the front room and am working all 5 says on it and the kitchen which I'm going to deep clean before decorating!!
Also my 50th birthday present to myself has arrived, oh my, it's really rather nice!!!!

That's a lovely-looking holiday home, Bomma. cloud9
Pushfit's so lucky, he always falls on his feet.
I bet it's full board too. None of that strict sour-faced landlady with the curlers and scarf turban and opaque support hose, turfing you out into the pissing rain straight after a breakfast of hard egg, soggy bacon, sticky overheated baked beans, burnt toast and a pot of tea for six with just one teaspoonful of Brooke Bond Dividend to give it a vague tint, and powdered milk to make it even more insipid. yuck
"And don't try coming back before 6pm either." irked

That's a lovely looking piece of kit, Bobbers, but you've got that strap way too tight! It's making your wrist go all pink.
This is how it should be adjusted to allow your circulation to...err... circulate:



Seriously, enjoy it mate, you deserve a bit of wrist action. thumbup

Back in 2011 I was meeting up with some chums in Hammersmith for a Sweeney locations tour / jolly boys outing, I went down in my Monza Red Rover P6B and pulled into the entrance of the Scrubs to grab a pic, I got a few funny looks from a well 'ard looking uniformed geezer before driving off as nonchelantly as my trusty V8 chariot would allow.... whistle
