Eve'nin' here gents. Prison entertainment is Ramsey in Iceland.
Paua, that is totally incorrect.
Ramsey is on the Isle of Man. Don't let them hoodwink you into believing ( i before e ) otherwise.

Good mooring to any of you tied up on a boat. wavey

Tis a clear blue sky day here oop norf.
Today I hope to paint the long bench at the bottom of the garden.
That's if #1 Son brings the promised paint.
I have thoroughly sanded the bench in preparation.

We'll see if he turns up with it...

How is your flattened pinky, slopes?
What a little throbber, eh?
I have searched for you on the Dog & Violin webcam, but there's no sign of you, Lady Slopes or Buster:



I can only assume you are concealed in the long grass somewhere awaiting the signal to execute.

Have a nice day. thumbup

Ah, I've just realised you may be referring to that shouty sweary chef, Gordon Ramsey, and where he buys all his "fresh" ingredients... rolleyes

His Scrumptiousness always like to keep a spare float of victims just in case any undergoing current torment in the Scrungeon should expire.
PPPPPP and all that. teacher

Morning all! cool

Early walks with Barnfield due to the rising temps and avoidance of the great unwashed b4 they invade with their undesirable habits...

Does Granny Schmidt take requests/orders pequod? I quite fancy a mankini in the pattern!!!
Bobbers, I shewd Granny Schmidt a photo of your requested attire and she had quite a moment of the vapours before pronouncing it was unsuitable for a gentleman and would not consider the making of it!

She did offer a 'more appropriate' knitted bathing suit for you and suggested you may like the one in blue to match the Focus?



Laters...

Hahahaha! rofl Nice one, Dicky, love Pam. smile

Seriously, those woollen swimming trunks were no laughing matter! nono

Mine were navy blue, and when I came out of the water, I would have lost them for sure, had it not been for the sturdy shoulder straps.

But I did live up to my birth sign: The Water Carrier...

I'm done, both physically and metaphorically, Peanut is finished,I even cleaned and nourished the leather interior, I decided not to clay bar her as the paint's pretty good, I did polish and wax her though and I'm pleased with the results.

It is too hot. Neither I nor The Idiot are enjoying this weather. It was already 22°C at 8am this morning for field time. On the plus side, GF joined us, which was lovely.

IOTN, my grammatically incorrect TT parking permit has arrived and is now installed in the rear offside door quarterlight. I couldn’t see anything in the 973 pages of Ts&Cs specifically banning this placement, but I shall see how many tickets I rack up in the coming days. I keep meaning to get a picture, but keep forgetting to.

Anyway, The Idiot, not enjoying the heat.





He has now given up on these two options and is currently lying on the kitchen floor tiles. I am tempted to join him.

Pictures if you do Dibble!!! hehe

I've just finished a book by John Grisham about a lawyer who had a nervous breakdown, found god and became an Episcopalian minister and ends up being something called an innocence lawyer who gets a convicted murderer off after 23 years inside!!!

Mrs Bobbers has decided to treat me to an Indian takeaway tonight for all my car cleaning efforts!!! lick

Oh dear, Magoo, that sounds like a desperate stuation. frown

Couldn't you have just explained that you and your new bride were on your honeymoon, and just excused yourselves?

I'm sure they would have understood under the circumstances...


IOTN, I have painted the long bench.
It's the same colour as Mrs Robbo's favourite gazebo - NOT!!! rolleyes



The warm weather should help to dry the paint a bit quicker.
The paint was care of Petty Officer Squinty McGinty, the QM of the old Belfast.
20 litres of Battleship Grey, liberated surplus stock.
Should have been £60, but we came to an arrangement involving a quantity of Pusser's Rum and a carton of Senior Service.
Say no more nono :nudge: :nudge: winkwink

I sympathise, having been involved with many expat parties over the years.

IOTN: Someone has defaced the advertisement poster for the replacement OH, encapsulated, on the Triv-sur-Mer PO board!

If anyone has seen a scumbag with a magic marker today, lurking around, please let me know?

Fine effort by Bobbers today, in a heatwave, to polish Mrs B's Peanut!

Good evening! drink

Fine job there glenners, albeit you have poisoned the land and have made Chez Robbo unsaleable! biggrin

Never mind, we are shortly entering CV21 LD so any paint will do to presevere/perserve/dowse the wood in summat before the Winter is upon us.
