No thanks. I detest big cities. Only times I have been in Glasgow was for the odd motor show at the SECC and to run the Glasgow Half Marathon a few times.I'm sure Mo has a Glasgow phrase book indoors, just in case she ever goes there.

Been a while now. I know he was having a few health worries. Hope all is ok.By the way, has @Drago done a runner from us oldies? have we upset him with our witty banter and repartee?
Just remove all the vowels Welshie and it will make perfect sense 😉Jesus wept. What the he'll is that speak

Mr WD has been cleaning the chimney out and I have been the labourer pulling on the string to pull the brush down inside it to clear the ash
A woman's work is never done.

When I was a kid and Dad would sweep our chimneys I used to get sent to the top of the garden to check if the brush had come out the top.
Same here, but we had a sweep do ours.

I've been for a bimble this morning, rode my Birchley Heath loop and rode 25 miles. Lovely looking bright sunny and warm morning with a blustery cold breeze, I went with shorts and added a long sleeved top over my short sleeved top, I would have been better in longs, It was quite chilly at times. I took advantage of the shools being off and was out by half eight on quiet roads and didn't see much traffic till I was crossing Coventry on the way back in. Out through Keresley, Astley, Ansley and on to Birchley heath, past Hoar Park then turned down the Tamworth road though Fillongley and Corley, down the Scotchill, Burnaby road then up Holbrook Lane and home. Though a bit chilly in places it was a good couple of hours out on the bike.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Ours is a double skinned one and it's outside. MR WD takes the top off and puts a brush with string attached down from the top and I pull the string to bring the brush down. Saves us getting small people in and sending them up the chimney . It's cheaper as well.

Mum used to send me up the chimney.........if I was lucky it was summer and the fire was out.

Been for my blood test so now hoping the phone doesn't ring. Probably shouldn't be concerned but white blood cell count was up last time at 12, maximum should be 11. I'd had three weeks of being poorly so reckon it should have been all hands to the pump to fight whatever it was. 🤞
Now when did this become a thing. I decided to pop in to the barbers and there are five teenagers waiting, I turned to leave. The barber said no you're next.
There was one lad having a haircut, the rest were just mates who went with him. Weird.
Allotment time now I've had a coffee.

In fact, my only visit to the Barrowlands was to see Runrig so it wasn’t quite as rough as it might have been 
Quite a venue though, well worth a visit !

On the topic of chimneys, it was only a couple of years ago that I'd put on a Christmas song mix and The Ella Fitzgerald song " Santa Claus got stuck in my Chimney " was playing that I really listened to the Lyrics. Filth! Filth I tell you! 😮
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
Stuck in my chimney, stuck in the chimney
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
He won't come back I fear (boo)
There he was in middle of the chimney
Roly-poly, fat, and round
There he was in middle of the chimney
Not quite up and not quite down
Santa, please, come back to my chimney
Back to my chimney, back to my chimney
Santa, please, come back to my chimney
You can come back here (please do)
