So it is purrin presshur ont biznis who spend a lot ont office space. The fewer peeps int bildin... the smorller the bildin they needs.

Lost you there a bit. We have jam of all sorts, going back 4 years. So maybe there is a pun I am missing. Or is it a punnet?!

My job is entirely IT based, everything I do is in the cloud. so long as I have an internet connection, i'm good to go. I've been working full steam for months, they are just requiring me to sit in a large office instead of sit at my desk at home, to make the office look full

the office has 500 bodies in it at the mo.. at least 4 i know about have been sent home to self isolate.. but its perfectly safe you won't catch anything

Not done sloe vodka. Only chilli vodka

I always waited till after the first frost to pick sloes. They are then a bit softer but flavour is better

If we waited that long the locals would have them all picked

Pick and put in the freezer, done

Come Out front of our house and quite often catch the old girls picking up our walnuts, even the binman fills his pockets

.
They are more than welcome to them, way too many for us.

M4/M5/M6 overnight near Penrith as have a parcel to deliver by shap. It’s fun down some of the lanes round shap fully loaded.
East coast road is used normally on way down so I don’t have to go over pennine pass fully loaded. Views are nice all up north

If you come out of Scotch on the East coast you won't be far from me.

Super-smirky today

I revisited a programme on the recumbent bike in the gym that previously I have not managed to do more than 7.38Km on in a 20 minute stint. Today I did 9.43Km

That is a 28% improvement!!
Still a lot more to do, but I am getting some strength back.

We don't have sloes, so I don't know where this came from. We have damsons, apples, loadsa different types, in a normal year strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries of various different types, blackcurrants, and other types of plums. We put a lot of fruit in vodka and make "goutte" which is great with ice cream as well as the booze to drink! the rest we make in to jam, icecream, and stew some. the rest we freeze.
Tis a whole lot of work, but the end products are great!

I know they do. My Uncle (80+) has had 3 pairs so far.
But this one was put in only 7 years ago and my wife's colleague (the surgeon) said it was the best available and the most long-lasting.
