Were you doing handstands when younger?

I was always the clumsiest kid in gym, so it's unlikely - either prior or since...

A few weeks ago our four year old granddaughter, proud that she can take herself to the toilet came rushing in to the lounge, " Grandad, granddad, I've just done a massive poo, come and see!! "

My youngest g-daughter used to give running commentaries from the downstairs toilet. Though they were always addressed to her mother. I now feel like I've missed out on a stage of grandfatherhood.

I had a nice ride on the bicycle this afternoon before it had a flat. Threadless headsets are so convenient, I was able to break the whole Diamondback Outlook down small enough to fit in Mrs. GAs car trunk, or boot, if you will.

It was quite stormy this morning, and it looks like it is building up some weather again, so i picked the only window for a bicycle ride.

Just got a severe thunderstorm watch.

Someone has a fair sized fire going in their back garden, burning rubbish/garden waste.
Problem is, that about 30 inches beneath it(underground) there's a gas main.

Most round here aren't aware there's a gas main running through their gardens.
Not here when the new mains was put in. Some don't appear on utility maps, so it's always a "bit of fun" when there's work going on. Or a bonfire in the garden.

Edited to add
Should you not hear from me again tonight, something has gone bang.

And do you expect me, as a female of the species, to live like a monk as a result?

When it comes to sex, why do women *ALWAYS* have to carry the can? This isn't the biblical "go forth and procreate" era.

Wouldn't that be as a nun?
Monks being male normally.

Or *BOOM* as Commander Ivanova puts it.

No gas mains out here, but you don't want to be having a bonfire here either - on account of the peat. The fires actually spread underground, and then pop up randomly and set fire to more stuff.

You can tell the locals from the newbies out here, cos the locals burn stuff that wants burning in a large oil drum perched on breeze blocks. I just take that sort of stuff to the tip.

Yeah. Just a turn of phrase, I guess.

One of my best friends back when, was a nun from the order of St Paul of Chartres - Sister Rosemary Clifford. All-round good egg and a fabulous maths teacher.

She loved football (she was a Gooner like me) and loved cats (had two of her own).

Save swinging the axe.

There's just been a muffled boom!

I dropped the rubber washer for the shower hose down the plug hole.

I knew it was a bad idea to rinse out the bath. Ah well, no good deed goes unpunished.

I have an O-ring that will fix my First World Problem.
