That's all wifey's efforts, grown in a plastic box 60cm x 40cm. I think we'll just stick to tomatoes next year, much easier!

Gone from "all our efforts" to "all wifey's efforts". Are you absolving yourself of any and all involvement in this?

I did have to wash them though, and sweep up all the spilt soil when she emptied the container.

It arrived. That was quick. Still to put front mudguard on. Heck of a high front end even for an audax bike. Not sure whether to get it cut down a bit or just enjoy the comfort?

She's a beauty. You'll have lots of fun Mo.

Oh loverly how nice, a nice new shiny bike for Christmas ,I suppose the man from Chorley will be showing his new bike next . I’m not bitter I’m not jealous, I’m an adult, I’m above that kind of thing .

Well you never know.......the chances of it coming indoors for a photo opportunity are slim.

It is often the way of things.

Mrs @BoldonLad has a brother who is. "a problem". He lived with his parents, until they died, so, reached the age of 50 without ever leaving home. He works (retires next year), but, does not "function" too well in many ways, cannot deal with most aspects of modern life (technology), or money management, or, even mundane things like grocery shopping. After parents died, Mrs @BoldonLad "took on the burden", while the other seven (yes, seven) watched from the sidelines. A few years ago, Mrs @BoldonLad's health deteriorated somewhat, and, it all fell to me. There are times when I need a break, the only person who ever "helps out" is another in-law (the wife of one of Mrs @BoldonLad's brothers).

My own fault I suppose, I just cannot stand by and watch someone's life unravel.

Having a conscience can be a burden in itself but I'd rather have one than be a totally selfish git.

Beer and chocolates
I need savoury with beer.
Each to his own though innit.

He is obviously very sophisticated that @Dirk bloke

I’m 56 but I don’t think I’m the youngest

Could be me at 48?

Jake failed. A major fail within 5 minutes. Very narrow road, cars parked in his side of the road he should have stopped to let the oncoming traffic have right of way. He decided there was enough room for 2 cars so basically tried to bull his way through. Immediate fail and straight back to the driving centre. He didn't even finish the test. Apparently they don't now. Any major fail within the first 20 minutes or so and they go straight back to the centre

Silly boy.

It sounds like he is exactly what Parcelforce are looking for in a driver

............onions?

 

[JPBoothy]

It might be classed as bestiality !

It was love at first wipe

I’m 56 but I don’t think I’m the youngest

I'm a mere child at 55

I know. He is a dust magnet as well.

I don’t get blamed for attracting dust, but, I do, so I am told, generate crumbs

Bloody hell. Dusty people. People that attract crumbs. What next.
