I'm 'carbing up' on toasted finger teacakes before my epic local park laps session. Only 20 more to do then i'll have done 101 laps in 4 days, which is about 62 miles.

What a place to park.
Pfft!,that's nothing compared to where and how they park there now. That pic' was taken in 2004. https://www.great-harwood.org.uk/about/Places/Parks/Brantfell Road.htm
Go up there after about 5pm and they're parked all over the place. I was once up there doing laps. A woman who sees me regularly doing them parked her car right across from where that one in the pic' is. She did it without concern as it meant i had to swing out into the middle of the road every time to turn left.:thumbsdown:

I'm Near-Sighted, so I didn't need them to write stuff.

Walked into a door straight afterwards though...

A fug is a smell. What did you drop them into?

Is it? Bummer.

I really need to visit the Motherland get my colloquial English back up to scratch.

My Glasses were, and remain filthy...

Another feck up to report. I've just poured the water out my pedal bin down the bog. Unfortunately it had a dishcloth in that was soaking in the bleachy water. I got my hand around the U-bend to see if it'd lodged,but it's gone down the waste pipe. I've flushed the toilet 3 times and so far there's no back up of water,but it might've lodged near the end of the waste pipe and the water might start backing up soon. I did this once accidentally with a duster years ago when living with Mrs Accy. The bog i blocked was our outside one,not the one in the bathroom,so it wasn't too bad,though the water took quite a while to go down. The problem is,if the bog here blocks up then the Housing Association will call out a drain cleaner who'll charge around £130,like he did the last time i blocked the bog about 4 month ago. The HA said if i did it again they'd pass the bill onto me to pay. I just hope the dishcloth has not got lodged! Pray for me folks!:sad:
 
Whiled away an hour at the local art society's annual exhibition of works.

Some nice stuff, really well done, most so-so, one or two pieces somewhat ghastly. Nothing especially to my taste - not into landscapes and studies of flowers to be fair. But it's good to see what other people do.

I'll admit that what I like to paint isn't to most people's tastes either. :blush:

It's the ghastly stuff that makes local art shows worthwhile, in my view. It's incredibly rare that I see anything I like, but I often see stuff that is so bad that it amuses for a few seconds.

What do you paint?
