Today, I shall mostly be...
.......lux's walk (i can do a bit further day by day, tho' still knacked afterwards) postponed due to waiting for boiler to get serviced (oooh, matron!). strikes me that this will be the 2nd individual entering my house (first was a socially distant aware electrician a couple of months ago) since last march, including family members!
Please, no more ghastly Toyah and Robert!

Do you encourage (rough) tradesmen to enter your back door? Good excuse to wear your gimp mask round the house anyway?

Strangely compelling too.

From which I give you the entirely accurate quote; "One of the funniest, and most popular videos (4.3m views on YouTube), is Willcox performing Metallica’s Enter Sandman on an exercise bike, though it’s fair to say her breasts are the highlight."

Literally ROFLMAO
"no more ghastly Toyah and Robert!"terrible people with too much money, and a peculiar notion of what keeps the oiks amused! unbearable!
"Do you encourage (rough) tradesmen to enter your back door?"well, he went thru' the back door to check my gas box, before ensuring my pipes were clear, and the knob was well manipulated and not leaking.

Sounds like he gave your whole system a thorough going over.
I hope he slathered on some lubrication prior to manipulating your sensitive controls, it's been known for rough inexperienced tradesmen to snap an unsuspecting customers moving parts cleanly off.

The wild west ..... of Scotland. Did you survive Lux's walk?
hillbilly country! downtown l.a. ain't in it!aye, just about. of course she puked in the living room while the boiler engineer was in, so walk and her dinner were delayed an hour to let her stomach settle. yes, a lie down was required!
"yes, a lie down was required!" - yeah, puking will take it out of her!
and the tv news. not much info being released, but it's looking like a double murder and suicide attempt (no-one jumped off the viaduct - 'false news'), grim stuff.
It was even mentioned in today’s daily covid briefing, reassuring people that Crosshouse is secured and safe.I’ve been for my jag this morning, done by my local GP surgery in the church hall right next door, so just a 5 minute walk for me. I got there early, but got taken right away. The doc explained everything, including the fact I was getting Astra-Zeneca, as is everyone being vaccinated by their own GP, due to the refrigeration required for Pfizer. Because I wasn’t driving I didn’t have to wait 10 minutes before leaving again. No ill effects so far.
The doctor was very much enjoying the vaccinations, as he joined the surgery late last year and this is the first time he’s been able to meet patients face to face.
So all good.
Waiting like a kid for Christmas for my new orange suede ankle boots coming from Amazon. Ooh, all excited! ☺️🙃Apart from that, think I'll watch either some Dawson's Creek or a horror film this afternoon when D goes for a nap, then it's the usual bottle of wine and Halloween on dvd tonight. 🍷 🎃
On pigeon patrol. Although it's only February, they're prospecting for nest sites and balconies are a popular choice. They make an incredible mess if they do nest and they return the next year so we're trying to see them off before the fact.

Whole new business opportunity pigeon-proofing them.

Feckers stuff and stuff nesting material in, damage the roof felt and squawk from dawn ;0

Happy birthday!
"the usual bottle of wine"christ. it must be finished by now!

The untramelled joy of the bottle that perpetually refills itself.
this was of course the result of being granted three wishes, and requesting another two bottles the same for wishes 2 and 3!(ancient) parp!
.........nor even the 'i wish my boaby could touch the floor' chestnut.
Thanks everyone!The Whiskey is sublime.
The Indian takeaway was tasty too.
Happy days.... :0
'Appy birthday Socko. The night is young ....... er than you! The curry was probably hotter and the whiskey smoother too!

I awake this morning, in the fine form that only a 44 year old man in his prime years can.

Objects in the rear view mirror (your prime) may appear closer than they are.

Heheh, hope to be 60 next month, be alive and be able to eat some cake and more cake the following morning!
😁😁Having a lazy day today. Most tiring thing I'll be doing after is ordering what's in my Amazon basket. Watched Halloween last night so tonight's viewing will either be Halloween 2 or a couple of eps of Stargate SG1. I really should tidy and hoover the hall, but tomorrow's another day.

Stop me if I've told this one before. No, on second thoughts, don't.
When erstwhile Daily Mirror pop reporter John Blake celebrated his 30th birthday, some wag at The Sun sent him a card saying, "Congratulations! Now your age, IQ and hat size are all the same number."
Got the Incubator out the loft, cleaned up and ready to go.Few more Hen Eggs to save to have enough to fill it.
Takes about 20 HEN Eggs, and then 3 weeks to incubate till hatching. Hopefully Mr Cocky Doodle is doing the business with his harem and the eggs are all fertile.
"Takes about 20 HEN Eggs" - I like the way you emphasise the most superfluous piece of information.

Meanwhile it's tipping it down here to such an extent that Minnie didn't get much further than the end of the street, peed and pooed and then gave me a look that said let's go home pronto. I concurred.
