Morning folks 
still feeling chilly up here and unspring like-though did see a couple of house martins flying over the shore line. Ive been getting a bit OCD with filling my compost bin with seaweed 
i walk twice a day along the beach gathering it and also stick in some cut turf i found dumped by the golf course maintenance crew.
Going to put in some vine eyes and straining wire for climbers and hope the council wont mind me drilling holes in the walls

Get me a couple of Mars bars, will you?
I'll give you the money when you get back.

Witnessed totally disgusting behaviour at the beach today. A man and woman arguing in front of a load of kids then she smacked him one on the head and it all kicked off between them. The police turned up and the policeman ended up using his baton on the bloke but the man actually managed to get the baton off the copper and started hitting the copper and the woman with it.
Then a crocodile turned up and stole all the sausages as the man shouted 'That's the way to do it'

Worrying! I guess the upside is that the stent is thinner than a catheter plus the stent removal requires an insertion first (the 'camera' and grabber) so hopefully I will be well-gelled. 🙂

Morning folks
The band called the House Martins had a UK No1 hit with an A capella version of the Isley Brothers “ Caravan of Love “ The only other a capella song to reach No1 was “ Only You “ by the Flying Pickets.

What about "Don't worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin?

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Lovely day here for us. Lots of sun and warmth.
Mr WD isn't a happy bunny as the lawn mower isn't working. We just spent some time pushing the thing out of the log store and into the sun. Mr WD us now trying to fix ( hit it) with a hammer

I popped round for some shopping. The thing that jumped into the basket was a bag of salted cashews!

Only last weekend we couldn't get our heavy petrol mower going after the winter layoff. Even got a new spark plug for it and still no go.
Bit the bullet and went and bought a battery cordless thing from Home base - brilliant thing. So light comparatively and a nice cut too. More than enough charge to do our lawns too.

Maybe even supervise...
I don’t think that made it to No 1 in the UK charts?
