It's quite breezy here and I can see the leaves being blown from the trees. They are a bit late this year

We pay £354 for water and £411 for sewerage. Do we win ?

Well "win" wouldn't be my choice of word...............................but you're certainly out in front!!

All packed, the disparity in weight between my bag and Mrs Tenkaykev's is a wonder to behold...🤔

So you've hidden all your stuff in Mrs T's bag 🤫🤫🤫

I have approximately four litres of fresh tomato soup on the go............

It looked like rain here but hasn't arrived yet. My pet hate is indoor exercise but jumped on the exercise bike for 40 minutes. I propped the iPad up in front of me with a lovely cycling video of roads and trails in the Tyrols beside the lakes which made it bearable, apart from the usual sweat feast 😓

I have just read Aiken Promotions have applied to Dublin City Council for a licence for two concerts at Croke Park. I am soooooo excited........................Aiken Promotions handle Springsteen's tours. Seriously considering booking flights and simply going on holiday if it doesn't happen.

I have my finger on the pulse..............................

Morning folks Still awaiting parts but will get there in the end...Been pondering on 'buyer beware' its always been relevant...I once bought a motorcycle which just didnt handle right, it had been crashed but was immaculate so couldnt tell. I like the period between buying vehicles! peace until you have to undergo the mine field of buying new or second hand. I once test drove a car with ex-girl friend...it broke down 5m up the road and we had to thumb it back! Told the seller where it was and also to go forth....

Having done a fair bit of hiking I’m pretty good at packing to minimise bulk and weight. Strange that Mrs Tenkaykev gets a bit miffed that I’ve got everything I need packed in such a light and compact configuration.

I don't do Faceberk myself, but the band does, as per my sig. If you're ypure a Faecesbooker then I'd be grateful if you could seek out our page and give us a 'like', and spread the good word.

I have just discovered that my phone does not show signatures below posts when held in portrait mode, but they magically appear when it is turned to landscape mode.

Shopping done, popped in to see a chum for coffee on the way back, new fence panels areived while I was out and have been lugged into t'back garden.

My gear is packed for tonight (Orange amp, Geddy Lee jazz, Ibamex PJ as backup). Just having lunch then will get an hours shut eye before collecting mini D, then nipping over for set up and sound check.

What if you're upset by someone with their arm up a cow's arse?

As long as it the vet I don’t mind

4.5 litres of tomato soup made, that's ten servings. Very pleased with the tomato crop this year. I have the soup, 11 jars of chillied tomato chutney/relish, eaten fresh tomatoes 3-4 times a week since early July and I reckon there are enough left to keep us going till early November. I grew two plants of "Sungold", a golden coloured cherry with outstanding flavour, two "Shirley" and two "Alicante" both decent flavoured standard reds. Oh yes and have a good bagful for the guy whose wood I'm busy collecting this afternoon.
