    That'll teach me to save my images to the net...

    But who on earth googles '...hottie in a tutu...' anyway? Bit of a rhetorical question...

    I know it's wicked to laugh at the misfortune of others, but in this case it's my nephew so I reckon it's OK.  He's an electrician, and his mum wanted him to fit an outside socket for her.  He doesn't live at home so arranged to go round yesterday to do the work.  Half way through he realised he didn't have a couple of items and decided to walk to Screwfix, which is only about 1/2 a mile away.  Needless to say he got caught in the storm and got saturated.  When he got back his mum said she would put his clothes through the dryer and gave him some of his step-dads clothes to wear.  My nephew is over 6 foot and his stepdad about 5ft 8inches!  He did manage to get into the shorts but said that if he'd actually tried to do any squatting down when wearing them he would never be able to have any children.  Apparently his loving mum has got photo's but I haven't seen them yet.

    That'll teach him to be "Be prepared"!

    My RTBC - 9 kilos gone since just before lockdown started and 10cms gone from bust and waist with only gardening for exercise.  Now I just need the new snake oil for arthritis to work so I can get some walkies in and reduce the bum centimetres even more.

    Thanks @Hostafan1.   Hoping to keep going for a while yet so the other knee doesn't go.  Planning on dancing a few more years yet.

    Could have been worse @KT53 - at least there was a step dad....

    I'm still having flashbacks looking at that pic @B3 :D

    My RTBC is the flowers on a new clematis. The pic doesn't do them justice. They're sumptuously rich. Will get planted once the sweet peas are out the way


    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
