Wordle done in three this morning

It’s quite addictive and just a quick bit of fun first thing to wake up the brain.

Sod it. I think I will put on the gear and try a walk. If I don’t post again by 9am send out Mountain Rescue!

 

[Chief Broom]

Damn. That’s the rain on now too. Not sure rain along with gale force winds would be a very pleasant walk.

Should give it a miss Mo lots of flying debris and possibly trees coming down
Morning folks i shall be glad if my roof survives today, the potential for being homeless and nowhere to go is stressful. Got a emergency housing number but whether thats any good i hope i dont have to find out

Morning all

No plans for today apart from finding a decent film to watch this afternoon.
Sunday lunch booked at the Crown in West Down.

Good morning, world.

It's nearly 9 degrees on Planet Thanet today under a clear sky, but it looks breezy. Nothing like cycle chatters 'oop north are suffering from Storm Malik.....

I will mainly be doing a bit of gardening today, under the direction of Mrs Salad.

Tonight, I am playing at a singaround session, at a local venue. All Scottish songs, or songs by Scottish writers, as it was Burns Night on Tuesday.

Keep safe and keep well, everyone.

Morning all
We don't have a hoolieey of any sort here. 'Sounds' quite peaceful out there.
The paperwork that I should have done is still sat there giving me dirty looks .
Must do it this morning.
@PaulSB .....how much do you pay for a haircut ? Mine is £6.00.
Only takes 10 minutes but she does a decent job of it...... including eyebrows and around me lug holes.

How much do I pay? This has the potential to be a touch embarrassing.😳 I should first say I'm slightly more hirsute than Kojak.......just. 😄

In town I can get an OAP rate of £4-5 for a "What number sir?" and wham, bam, thank you ma'am its all over in five minutes.

Don't really enjoy that so I go to a Turkish barber. Now these guys know how to cut hair, I think it must be a "thing" for Turkish men. Proper grooming. I get charged £8-13 depending on what gets done. For £8 it's haircut properly finished off with cut-throat razor and ear hair singed off with the flaming stick.

Today I'm having "the works" haircut, beard trimmed and shaped, nose wax, ear wax. Takes about 25 minutes and costs £13. The wax thing stops hair growing for about three months.

Anyone want a pic of Paul with a cotton bud waxed in to each nostril? 🤣

Morning all, it's a tad breezy down here, nothing like what you have up north though.
Wordle done in 4 .
Dog walking and a few domestics to be done before we go up to our friends place for a lunchtime gathering.
Enjoy your day everyone

Sounds good and fair.
We have a number of 'turkish' barbers within 2 miles but they are more expensive then that.

 

[PaulSB]

I've always spelt it hoolie

Yep, me too but I was filled with doubt this morning. Lord knows why.

 

[Dave7]

Morning all no hoolie here as yet, don't do wordle thing and not been to the barber in years.

And may I ask which parts of your body will you be ironing

 

[PaulSB]

Sounds good and fair.

Our guys are genuine Turks and a lot of Turkish men visit, some for a haircut and others drop in to chat. Seems to be a community male thing.

Anyway I must get on. Off to town for haircut and Aldi.

Wordle in 6 today.

 

[Dave7]

Well Mo, your wind (to use a phrase) has found it's way down here .
Started slowly some 30 minutes ago and is steadily building

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Good morning all, and a very windy one it is too. We’re at the southern edge of the amber zone, gusts currently of 50 mph, expected to peak nearer 60 in the next couple of hours. So a hoolie it is then. (Have enjoyed watching Michael Portillo travelling the local coast this week, particularly enjoyed his interview with the Scots language expert in Aberdeen. Perhaps somebody could develop a Scots version of wordle ?)
