...that for some weeks a heated argument debate has raged at castle Clarke about the existence of "purple patches" on lighter skin tones (faces etc.) on the TV images. My wife swears they are not there and that I am going crazy. I have "paused the programme" and got her to sit in my seat...

Morning All. :D Still here, still smiling. :) Wifey out shopping for her ma at the butchers. :) Opticians @11:40 for me to go get my new glasses. Have a fabulous Friday! :D

I am doing the same. I need to get my knee-support musculature working right to get the best results. 2 steps fwd and 1-step.... :D But I will get there.

Excellent news! Pleased for you mate, enjoy your Pint! :D

Morning All. :D Another troubled night, but we are still here. :) Have a Thrilling Thursday! :D

Yes, remember it well. AND the strange thick ORANGE juice.

Morning All. :D The "Cold" has progressed to the coughing/wheezy chest stage. Did get some sleep though. Stridor is no fun though. Infection deep inside comes next. :( Have a Wonderful Wednesday. :D

Funniest one I have heard of is slices of onion in your socks on the soles of your feet. I mean how on earth can you do that? :D

When I was an ickle-boy and we went back to live with my Nan after me Mum was gone she used to give us this stuff called Liquifruta it was really horrible. She also used to stand us in front of the fire and rub us with camphorated oil. If things were really bad we got rubbed down with White...

Sadly its leather all over, hence the slip on covers. The new cats used the seats and seat backs as scratching posts when they arrived. :(

...the new dining room chairs have arrived. :) Son's partner has asked for the 6 outgoing cast-offs (perfectly OK, but leather has been ripped-up by the moggies and the chairs now have slip covers on them). I was excused shopping duties today because I am "ill". :)

Morning All. :D Took lots of meds and got the streaming eyes and nose to cease; so a reasonable sleep. :) Still doing it this morning though :( Have a terrific Tuesday! :D

Wifey goes up to see her Mum and hand over the usual big box of gifts we put together for her for her birthday. She couldn't help but ask what her brother (who took £12k off the old gal the other month) had bought her for her birthday. Ooh says the old gal, he got me a potted plant and a pot of...

Morning All. :D A damp day today, but not raining. :) It's the old gal's 95th Birthday today. Me and the missus will be up there later to wish her a happy birthday. :) [EDIT] Wifey says I am not to go up there because I have a stinking cold and her Mum is frail. Have a marvelous mega Monday. :D

Before all the ECO-Warrior agenda kicked off this street was a tree-lined thoroughfare. The Council in its wisdom decided that they CBA to clean the streets the falling blossoms every year were a danger to the public, so they chopped all the trees down. You can't make it up. Trees gobble up...

Morning All. :D I hope you have all enjoyed that extra hour in bed. :) Sunny and bright here. Have a Super Sunday! :D

If you are on windows, try saving it as a *.png file (they are much smaller).

Hmmmmmm let me amend that for accuracy. 2000 Thor (What was I thinking....or not thinking). Ha! Ha! 🤣

.... we have some of the old gal's old cheque books and when looking at the stubs for cheques she has written we find one for the bad BIL (her son) £500 - "Speakers". Because he's a musician and "Needed" them of course. :mad:

.... Smart meter? Well, why does the Gas one report 3 x the amount of gas per day more than the old meter? Is a bit fishy I think. I have daily records going back 2 years so my usage is pretty consistent. I need to keep a close eye on this. :rolleyes:
