Is it attached to a string?

Second cuppa went down well
Sunny and breezy but a certain nip in the air today

Only if your flight has been cancelled!
He didn't say if it had to be an airport.

Oh, I see.

I'll be right back, I need to move some cones....

 

[Andy in Germany]

I have a can I could post you. 😁

I have half a dozen cans, they're just empty.

I have found a 5l can of light "sewing machine and bicycle oil" in a cupboard so that may suffice.

Is it attached to a string?

You cynic: always assuming there's strings attached.

 

[Andy in Germany]

You boil your cup of tea!
Heathen...

That's why I'm here: I had to flee Yorkshire because of religious persecution.

I have heat wave kicking in here, until next week, then fall commences.

Foraging was so so... That stand of abandoned Cox's Orange Pippin trees has really suffered over the summer, and I'm not sure they'll survive the winter. They're sandwiched between two leylandii hedges, which says enough. I did manage to pick half a basket of apples from the one that has the most light and water from a nearby ditch, but that's it.

Still a bit too early to pick walnuts. Only found four on the ground, two of which were empty. Popped one of the others open, and it was delicious if in need of drying out. Looks like a decent crop, although the nuts will be small.

Now sat down with a nice

Checked my Hazel, doesn't seem to have produced much & I haven't seen squirrels in the garden. Took out a couple of straight stems that may well be suckers.

There seem to be a lot of acorns about.

Mr Cookiemonster's just poured me another LARGE glass of wine. Has he alterior motives?

I get squiffy on a bag of jelly babies.

How can it take 5 hours to download Flight Simulator on Xbox?

Currently working my way through the bicycle graveyard and trying to repair some of the wrecks therein. Current disaster has a nice frame but everything else is missing or broken. I've now dug up a very early proto-ebike with a few good components so hopefully that'll shift two bikes at once...

We've had our hottest July, wettest August and hottest September.

Who says global warming is a myth?

End of the queue not far away. My grandparents would have been able to see it as it snaked(?) past,
