When we did this house I hade 7 loft hatches put in, the house is tidy all the time, the same cannot be said for what hides behind the loft hatches.

. I must admit, i am finding it difficult trying to bin fishing rods he hasn't used for 22 years. He keeps things based on the " you never know when they might come in handy/ you never know when you might need them theory.

Get them checked, value wise, then get rid.

Some of the reels are worth a few Bob, but the majority of the rods are not.

'Ere, I'll have you know I've got rods I haven't used for nearly 40 years, and will probably never use again, but it'll be divorce time if Mrs Poacher gets rid of them, 'cos I made them myself from split cane, and not only do they have an address from several moves ago, they hold memories like my first 20 lb pike, and days fishing with a dear departed friend.

I do beg your pardon Sir. Split cane rods are in a league of their own and should never be binned. Carbon fibre on the other hand can be chucked.

Very few edible freshwater crabs in these parts.

Jellyfish aplenty in Hunstanton, i was quite surprised.

Nice bright morning over here. Swim, ride then gym later.

Was the checkouts guide dog on holiday?

Whoa there boy, you're dissing the woman I lust!

Think I got a bit much sun yesterday. Morning run will be a walk in a short while.

 

[welsh dragon]

Goood morning. A heavy muggy day is in store here i think. The weekend is supposed to be bright and sunny and very warm. Have a good day folks.

Good morning all. Got awoken by the bl**ming smoke alarm at 5 o/c, new battery required. Getting a new mattress delivered this afternoon, so an early night tonight to christen it, no no not for that, to catch up on loss sleep!

Hitching up in a couple of hours time and trundling back home. Just hope that the North Devon Link Road (A361) is clear, what with it being a Friday in holiday time. Fingers crossed.

Just been informed of a shocking case of discrimination. Wednesday August 15th has been designated 'Cycle to Work' day. Don't they realise that this excludes a whole raft of retirees?
Yet another case of pensioners being overlooked! The day should be open for all to participate in, regardless. They wouldn't get away with this with any other minority group, I tell ya!
