Morning all. Sat in bed drinking my floor sweeping tea preparing for another day of phoning schools. I'm so grateful for this funding but announcing it one week before schools break up isn't ideal for getting the news out! Most schools will have already got themselves sorted for next year
Dove; your alarm reminds me of the time I got to work first to find the alarm going off. A woman from across the road rushed out and screamed at me about how the alarm had been going off all night. I let her screech away before asking if she had called the police.
She looked at me like I was an idiot as I pointed out that not only had she just addmited to aiding any burglar by not calling the police (something I'd be sure to pass on to them) but that the police have the key holders contact details and we could have nipped over and turned it off.
I reached into my car pulled out some nitrile gloves (to not disturb any evidence) and a huge breaker bar (for protection) before entering the building to disable the alarm (and anything else I might find)... never have I seen a woman in a dressing gown move so quickly!
Morning all/afties Pat if you're around - I haven't looked back beyond this page
Dove - I'd have more coffee and forget the cucumbers...and definitely that other thing...
chicky - love the pic. Don't the Moodies have the loveliest album titles? A schoolfriend got me into them, but I liked the artwork and the titles more than their music at that point... I've come to like them more over time! The album JH did with John Lodge was gorgeous though - Blue Jays. I played it constantly when I got it. Ahhh vinyl, and scratches...those were the days!
Clari...aren't people daft? ..and thoughtless...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Good morning, very dull here but forecast is good so hoping box hedge gets cut today ( not by me!)
Pat glad hubby had good birthday, hope you feeling better and HRH
Dove, what an early start! did you know there is an app you can get so you can "see" if there is trouble?Hope dentists passes quickly and successfully
Clari is the breaker bar what we see the cops using to force entry? Can just imagine you. Lol
Chicky how is me Chicky doing now? Hope he is behaving
Busy hope tom Tom responds well now "fed" I got lost last week, having set the sat nav, I waited confident instruction would follow, eventually she said "please refer to the map" unimpressed!
off to collect daughter and gd from train, d is trying not fly so much now expecting. Just an hour for us down to Penrith and makes her journey 3 hours from Euston. Pretty good I think and no security hassle
anyone seen Bushman? Hope he is ok
wish David was here, could do with some sweet pea advice
maybe we should refresh punks thread, keep the enemy at bay and the energy alive!
have a good day
Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.” A A Milne
Lily; not that exciting! A breaker bar is a 1 metre solid bar for undoing stubborn nuts. Brilliant for lorries wheel nuts even better for steam roller tubes. Breaker because it often breaks nuts, bolts, and knuckles.
Most would consider it a potential offensive weapon if found in the back of a Volvo estate!
The big red keys the police use I struggle to pick up!
I hope your (& your daughters) journey are uneventful.

I loved Knights in white satin too .....this is what they looked like in my mind .......
No cheesecloth or flares here though - I discovered MB as part of a retro phase at Uni (along with Rumours) ......an antidote to Duran Duran

The news on the radio unsettles me.
Shall I do the i***ing first and then pot on the cucumbers .......... or the other way around?
When I've had another coffee of course .......
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Morning all.
Very sunny here this morning after torrential rain last evening and during the night.
Want to get out in the garden today, few weeds
So we have a new PM.......funny........Teresa May.....her initials are a reverse of Margaret Thatchers.
Hope all poorly peeps are better.
Have a good day everyone.

Morning all. Dentist at 9, so flying visit.
My fave "sat nav" moment is when it says " In 100 yards, navigate offroad" , Welcome to rural Devon and the world of Waitrose home delivery.
Showery this morning but not as breezy, thankfully.
