Anyone lost a rubber mallet?


I ask because one has appeared on our porch roof and it's a bit of a mystery. Mrs P has denied all knowledge of this.

Cold July in Yorkshire this year?

We'd temperatures in the high 20's, so not that cold.

Good morning all,
We’re going to give parkrun a miss today, conditions underfoot are too risky. We’re still meeting up for breakfast as planned, then it’s sleepover for the granddaughter, Santa comes round our way this evening, courtesy of the local Rotary Club 🎅🎅

Send him on his way, he'll be 15 days early!
Unless of course you're planning on saying he's already been, on the 25th.

Now then. You know how things look a different shape when covered in snow? They do, we all know this. Come on, you're all with me on this one.

The "mallet" turns out to be the solar charger for the backyard lights. In my defense Mrs P has confessed to repositioning it. 🤣

OK. Cleared that one up. Off to Rovers now. Still snowing here. I think we will be the ones in yellow? 🤔

@PaulSB will not be a happy bunny.
He has gone to (hopefully) watch Blackburn beat Preston.
He is stood/sat there freezing his bits off and his team are getting hammered 1:4

He can drown his sorrows afterwards.

Meal for me was an Aldi chicken jalfreizi. Loads of chicken. Very tasty. Yummy.

We had chicken breast wrapped in bacon with a tomatoes sauce with pasta in a cheese sauce

Well you wouldn't want to hurt him, would you?

Well that was a day that didn't go to plan but worked out OK in the end, originally we were going into town this morning but the carer didn't show till quarter to eleven, so we swapped to plan B, took the bus to Jubilee Crescent and lunch in Jubilee Junction then took the bus to town, so thats more Xmas shopping done and I believe I'm on wrapping duties tonight.

No, he's not and yes, we got hammered. 😡😡😡 I will spare you all the rant. I could see what was wrong, everyone could see what was wrong except the manager..............

...........I picked my bits up before we left.

Too right he can.

Yes, those are really good. Great value.

Sounds good.

We are having Cumbrian sausage, mash and possibly, kale with onion gravy. This is comfort food, real comfort food and right now I NEED an AWFUL LOT of comfort. 😢😢😢

Sa you all may be aware I’m not a great football fan Can’t do with all the faffing about in there own half. This game showed what a team that is prepared to take a game to the opposition can do.
Won’t say the score in case you folks want to watch it later I will say it’s a cracker 👍👍

We've got salmon for tonight, I got a nice couple of pieces from Coventry fish market for seven and a half quid, just enough for a couple of pensioners, spuds and peas for me and salad for my good lady.
