That's good, mine will be soon and it's in alot better state than when I got it.
So "Senior" food is no good for him then?
Twas in fact 120 kgs of apples, so 60 litres of juice next Monday.
Blokey remembered my name without me having to remind him.
Not bad for someone I only see twice a year. Mind you lots are like that round 'ere!
Stinking humid today, wun't be surpised if we have a storm. Teeny bit of rain is forecast.
So having worked all weekend, nearly we is taking today off!
Have a lovely day folks

We had a camping 'holiday' in East Germany sometime in the '70's and were constantly watched. We had to report to the 'cops' every morning to tell them where we were going on that day and even then, when we returned to the site after a day's sightseeing, we were told that 'they' had been looking for us and we were told to go and report back to them - NOW!
What is now interesting is the mountain of photos that I still have showing life as it was then in Berlin. When we returned to the West I took another lot looking from the west to the east and the Wall was very disturbing, even more so when (from the viewing platforms) you could see the many measure placed in No Man's Land to prevent any escapes. I am sure there were many more that you could not see.
I could write a book about that holiday and no one would believe it!
I am left wondering just how you would cope with a dog 'with a problem'.
No, sadly. You would not believe how much food and money I have wasted trying to get him able to cope with the problem. The only good thing is that a not-so-local dog rescue place was happy to accept all my cast-offs so much of it did found a willing mouth.So "Senior" food is no good for him then?
My dad and a mate went on an official Intourist touring holiday to Russia once, it must have been in the mid 70s. They flews over 3000 miles just in the USSR.We had a camping 'holiday' in East Germany sometime in the '70's and were constantly watched.

They had an Intourist "guide" with them except when they were able to go exploring on their own. He travelled all over Russia and would pop a baby aspirin or a saccarine tablet when with a girl telling them it was "the male pill that he got from the West!"
They changed hotels almost every day, first thing they did was unscrew the mouthpiece (or was it earpiece) on the phone and disconnect the bug!
They always had conversations outside the window so what they said was covered by traffic noise.
They complained that restaurants closed at lunchtimes so the staff could have a lunch break! And came back not wanting to eat I think it was cucumber ever again.
If it started raining, all the cars driving along would stop, their owners would jump out and fit the windscreen wipers, as due to shortages they just couldn't get new ones, so it they left them fitted they would walk!
As you say lots could be and probably is written about it!

Be interested to know how much you paid for it per m3 and how long the lengths are....that my pallet of firewood will be here this morning.
Just have to lug it all down to the wood store from the front drive.
We need to buy some over 'ere soon.
