Time for a hot squash

Thinking the other day...
In circa 48 years of working age, I've actually cost the state 2 weeks unemployment benefit.

Time for a hot squash

Is that to many people in a windowless room?

I was looking for socks on-line and found these. I wonder who would like them?

......and these elastic band things. Was it Chinese ropes or something they called it. I didn't join in as I was a tomboy and preferred footie or a game of tig or conkers when it was the season, and making icy slides in the winter............all no doubt against health & safety now

We have a bright and breezy start before the rain arrives late morning so I got myself out for a little bimble.

The only thing I remember was Chinese Burns Some one would sneak up behind you and rub their knuckles in your hair hard.

All playground games had a certain season which came round every year as far as I can remember. In June it was "sticks and stones" a primitive version of knots and crosses and conkers obviously in autumn. We also had home made kites using bits of stick and newspaper at one stage.

Whip and top Usually around pancake day .Snobs Think in some parts it’s called Five Stones.

Warm, blustery and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well, but had a very odd dream involving Lando Norris, a block of flats somewhere in Germany and a teddy bear.

I am now sat in front of the TV enjoying the BTCC coverage from Croft.

Luncheon shortly, once the Ginetta Junior race is finished.

There will now be a short interlude with a view of the fountain in the middle of the lake in Geneva.

Thanks!

I haven't laughed so hard in years.

Job jobbed. Recycled wood, and bottom from spare timber I had lying about. MrsF happy. Old planter behind (in pink). Better go get a load of soil, and some bedding plants.

A Chinese Burn in my youth was getting both hands round someone's wrist and twisting it both ways to stretch their skin, making it feel like heat. I think..

I can't find the mop.

Is it on the other end from the handle?

 

[PeteXXX]

I can't find the mop.

Is it in the bucket?

 

[Andy in Germany]

Is it on the other end from the handle?

Of course not, I looked there first.
