Just found out what the police kerfuffle was about last night.
Apparently some guy with a samurai sword on the lose and armed police were searching for him.
Don't know if they got him.

Down at the Doom Bar.....yes, it really is a place - not just a pint of beer

This is the Atlantic......and it is a pint of beer

Thanks for the hair clipper advice guys much appreciated The postie just came and delivered....another handle bar stem and another pair of pedals someone at Dawes is 'out to lunch' either not sending something or sending twice ah well might come in handy.
Just had a pleasant stroll along Brora beach and sat and watched cormorants fishing really close in. Think they were after sandeels

Thanks for that, but we don't have a gas supply here. Too rural for gas pipes and the distances make it hugely expensive so it's a nada

I don't have gas either. It's in the street and the majority have it, but I've never bothered.

It's a discount on your ELECTRICITY bill! Government blurb HERE.

I only mentioned British Gas because they are my supplier.

Is there somewhere some rules on what is considered unacceptable language for CC?

Been doing mine for over 30 years, started in the late 80's to cut out a perm (I know, I know!) and been doing it ever since, must have save thousands during that time. I think I've only been through about 6 sets of clippers, using them every 2-3 weeks. If you look after them it's surprising how long they last. They easily pay for themselves within a few months and you can cut your hair whenever you feel like it.

Yeah I am sorry I didn.'t try cutting my own hair years ago I would have saved a good few quid also. The only drawback is no matter what clippers one buys they will be unsuitable for cutting Drago's hair.

Why, is there something you want to say to us?

Good day my friends. It's bright and breezy in my temporary bit of Yorkshire. Did I say breezy? Yesterday we walked in a swirling 20mph headwind. Today we are off to Masham for a 12 miler and the forecast is 15 gusting to 30mph.

We're having a good time. Walked every day since Monday; 4 miles, 6, 8 and 12 today. Last night went to listen to Sally Magnusson in conversation. A very interesting and highly intelligent person, an evening in her company would be fascinating.

I see holy hell is breaking out in some quarters. I haven't been able to check this thread back to Monday but do hope we are all still here. There are many plusses to being old.

Stay safe.

T'is nowt but a gentle breeze, nowt to get excited about.

Hells teeth that’s not doing my ancient heart rate much good

It's eleven years old at most.

Welsh Dragon, just so you know it's only another 71/2 years to run

Seen loads more geese over the house during the afternoon, must’ve been a good day for their travels.

More walking done. Total of 13.3 miles for the day. The tootsies are a bit sore so feet up now watching Pointless.

I stare at the four walls when I'm bored and I call it pointless, but it passes the time
