It's not settling for a pic

Couldn't resist installing some of the insulation.

Was told to use salt by me dentist about 15 years ago. Bin using it ever since. Always used bonjella before that but he said it does nuffink ter stop the ulsar. Just anaesthetises it. Saved loads on boljella but salt dun't aft hurt.

.....and modern Bonjella, like so many modern versions of a thing that worked, I found impossible to use, the one and only time I tried it.
So back to salt.......and gritting one's teeth!

Sat int me chair watchin telly. Prince phillip is on. Not mentioned the Freelander 2 that sacrificed it's self ter save him inna crash, jet.

They mentioned it very early on, but only that he survived it, not that the Freeloader saved his life!
Well done hippomotor!

Hippo said:

The Freelander 2 was pictured with the damaged incurred and given recognition fer saving Phil's life. Should have bin given the george cross.

I spose I'd best go and chuck a bucket of soapy water over the Landy as the weather is so nice.

But I'm nearer!

Head groundsman's jobs done this morning. Then a 36 mile round trip to go and help fix the dottirs washing machine (and possibly pick up a new one) but SIL had fixed it by the time I got there. On the plus side I got another ride out in the landy with the wireless on . SWMBO is about to prepare lunch and then its Chivas Regal time with Saturday afternoon sport on the telly box.
