You know how these politicians work.....3/4 mile can miraculously become a full mile (maybe even 2)

And Drago may need a 2nd house nearer to his office. And an allowance for a secretary.
Bloody politicians eh.

Due to the inclemency of the weather Drago stayed home and

sent Bruce instead on the E Bike (after briefing him on the agenda ) The committee were highly impressed with his contribution

I've liked all the post above, what else can I do as I'm bored.

Salut tout le monde! I am back I have been away from this site for a couple of months after our move to our new home.

Mrs G has also been to Australia for a couple of weeks and contracted cellulitus whilst there so we are still in the process of claiming expenses back from the insurance.

The house ( built in 1934 ) has given us a few problems too as we had to have the lounge walls re-plasted and redecorated but all done now and looking good.
We also want to turn the garage into a spare bedroom ( we only have one bedroom at the moment ) and junk room at the back so it will need a partition to put up. The front already has glass sliding doors.

It also has a Kota ( indoor barbecue popular in Finland ) which we have not had the time to use yet.

Despite all that, we love the house as it is in a quiet area, close to the sea and a good view of the country side from our bedroom window.

Not much cycling done lately as the weather crap at the moment, either too windy of raining. Let's hope May will be better.

We are going to Orleans early in June to celebrate my brother's 60th wedding anniversary.
That's all for now so I hope you are all as well as can be.



How is everybody?

Welcome back.
Everyone here is in fine form and there are a couple of new arrivals.

I know you said you were moving, but I were expecting some closer to your last house than Finland.

Do you know that some Canada Geese are UK resident while others migrate and come back in spring.

There's some nearby that are here all year round. Suitable nesting areas on private land. Meaning that should anyone try to get rid of them, they'd end up injured not the birds.
Has happened with three pairs of nesting mallards. Six dead adults, and over a dozen young killed, and eggs smashed.

welcome back

Well no new bass today thanks to those tosser at DHL who reckoned they couldn't access my property.

It's a house with no front fence or gate off a shared private drive. Everyone else, postie, Amazon, call girls, etc, just stroll up and knock on the front door but that is somehow beyond the wit of the brain donors at DHL.

 

[Drago]

I have risen! 1st!

 

[Dave7]

Hello the house.
I woke at 5 with a headache and feeling yucky. Don't know why. That will determine my day as right now its all I can do to avoid upchucking.
I will bore you with details as the day progresses.

 

[welsh dragon]

Coooeee. By George its a cold one. 0 deg here. 11 deg in my house so I have made the executive decision to light a fire 🔥

Stay safe peeps
