When I were nowt burra lad.....
We, literally waded through calf high snow to get to school. No 4 wheel drives. No car actually. But schools didn't close.....we just kept going.

Aye, snow drifts half way up the ground floor windows and I was still expected to walk the 3 miles to school. And most of the teachers made it in, and they didn't live any closer to school back then than they do now. Were a nation of Ill prepared, self entitled weaklings. If a Hitler type figure kicked it all of now we'd be absolutely stuffed.

My garage roof now has shiny new brown steel profile sheeting and eaves now and the house has new deep flow guttering and downpipes. I will shortly be a couple of grand poorer, but it was badly needing done. Wouldn’t know they had been. All nice and tidy.

Me and that geezer @GM could have done it cheaper

After my accident I was shown how to do self catheterisation so I didn't need to go to the doctors or the hospital to have them changed

That's an awful thought!

Strange ride today. None of this happened to me but two punctures and one exploded tyre that went off like a rifle shot!

Still another 64 miles in the bag.

I'm nackered and have to go to the Awards Night in an hour. 😴

Bought a couple of bottles of Irish whiskey from LIDL the other day.
I must say it's not as good as my usual Jamesons, but at £14.95 a bottle it's perfectly acceptable.

Night John Boy.

Surely I can't be first up this morning? Or is it my turn to do the tea and toast in bed?

 

[PaulSB]

I've been awake since 5.10. Mrs P has been throwing herself around the bed like I'm not sure what. Eventually I gave up and went downstairs. A doze will follow this coffee - I hope.

Our Awards Night went well, the general feeling was it was the best for several years. I was mightily relieved. My only involvement had been to "sell" the event to members. Every place bar one was taken so a good result. Fortunately the venue came up with the goods on the night.

I was very pleased to receive a trophy, something which came out of the blue. So I'm now the current holder of our "Members" Member of the Year" Award. Have to say after a rubbish year health wise this means a lot.

No idea what the weather is doing, too dark to tell!!
