Bekonscot is a model village in Beaconsfield, Bucks

Yep.

 

[Smithbat]

I remember going as a kid and loving it!

Not watching the cycling?

Oh bugger, completely forgot about the ToB while playing catch up TV with Dicte. So, I'll have to go searching for catch up ITV4 now.

@potsy is on his way.

Proper thunder and lightning here. A friend had a nasty experience a few weeks ago when her landline phone turned into a flame thrower in her kitchen thanks to the storm so I've been round and unplugged everything. All the birds are still at the feeders so I guess the rain is here to stay.

There was a TV programme some years ago which said that a number of people get killed by using a landline telephone each year.

This was where we went today, the weather gradually got worse.

The grass in my back garden has grown so long that I was expecting to encounter two elderly Japanese soldiers wishing to surrender. It was literally up to my knees.

So, tonight, out came the mower, with the cutting height suitably adjusted.

After 20 minutes, it packed up.

So, out came the cruddy old reserve that I use for the front lawn, with no grass box. I managed to finish about half an hour ago.

I have to rake up the cuttings yet. Tons more rain forecast for tomorrow.

That's at Torcross isn't it.... The nature reserve just up the road is great, and we've been on their bat walks and bird ringing walks.

 

[Illaveago]

I had better not say where it is as the vindictive text is bound to get it wrong. But yes it is.

Still, you got your own place to park.

Around 40+ years ago the subs setup had fuses and an arrestor. I doubt that'd make much difference tho'. I'm not sure if they still have the same at the exchange end any more.

 

[TVC]

Hush now, we are about to indulge in the first play of the Air anthology 'Twentyears'. You cant beat wine, chocolate and a dose of French Electro-Lounge.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Scriabin Symphony #3(The Divine Poem), vegetarian burgers, and filtered water here.

Oh, and a potato bred or modified to taste like butter.

Oh, and a potato bred or modified to taste like butter.

That's the kicker.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Although, being married to the granddaughter of a dairyman, I had butter on it as well.
