Just to say Postman has had the most wonderful day in Edinburgh. TOTALLY KNACKERED with walking around. THE GRADUATION CEREMONY WAS incredible. SORRY OUT SHOUTING its the phone keyboard or two pints and a whisky.

I'd say it's the two pints of whisky you've had, not the phone keyboard.

Ah, sounds like the railway bridge outside Ely Station. Barely a week seems to go by without it being walloped...

The small pink one!

Naaah, I think the sparkly one with the purple saddle is MUCH more up @DCLane 's street...

 

[Reynard]

A small hammer, a small axe, a hand saw and some spanners & allen keys for bike repairs. I don't think @Reynard would like me trying to fix her mower with the hammer, axe & saw.

The extra pair of hands would be handy, though

 

[Reynard]

Anyways, bath and then bed.

Nunnight one and all xxx

You want just his hands, nothing else!
No extra arms?

Funny that recent reports about lack of haulage drivers and food shortages are all over the news yet they allow people to go on holiday rather than feed people!
I was at the supermarket yesterday and there were some gaps on the shelves but amazingly the fizzy pop and cake/ biscuit aisle were unaffected!
During WW2 (well before my time) there were horrendous food and labour shortages, far worse than today, but with government intervention we managed ok. So today we could similarly organise all drivers to deliver essential goods only and food deliveries will always take priority over tourists! Oh I know it would be a pain for the fizzy drinks and junk food industries but a boon for healthy eating and, of course, the added bonus of keeping the Islands free from tourists

Ah! Things like that need organisation !

We can allow high paid footballers into the country but not foreign nationals who drive the lorries and plck onthe vegetables from the fields I know which one is more important in my humble opinion and it ain’t the footballers

I think it boils down to management !
Oh! Let's employ foreign workers , they are cheaper . Oops they can't come in ! Oh dear!
Lets get everything thing made abroad as it's cheaper! Oops the cost of containers has rocketed !

Morning.
About to go down and make another .
Georgie wasn't downstairs when I went down . His food doesn't look like it had been touched . He is a worry . I wish he would leave a note saying where he's going .
Panic over! He's just jumped up on the bed !

Good morning. Just aired the apartment to get rid of that "boiled socks" ambience, the sky is grey and gloomy and next week Youngest Son is coming to visit, so I think a Tidying Day is in the offing...

Ah, sounds like the railway bridge outside Ely Station. Barely a week seems to go by without it being walloped...

A lot of Japanese railway bridges have a height limit bar over the road a few metres before the bridge, like those you get on car parks, except these are made of massive 'H' girders with 45° braces so any truck hitting them will have its top sliced off before reaching the bridge itself.

My battery shaver ran out of power just before I finished using it.

Old fashioned safety razors are your friend in this situation.
