Gorby Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 No money at the park today. I'll have to go back to mugging old ladies to fund my plastic habit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After it snows, the park if full of rubbish an debris from the sledgers who leave all their junk behind, and most of the kids are there with their parents. We found the money while clearing it up, so we like to think it's karma. I also found a debit card, but resisted the temptation to double the stash, and on advice from Barclays, shredded it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing at hand brake turns in the car park. I know I should grow up but I am on the wrong side of 50 so it ain't gonna happen. I've got one of these stupid electric parking brakes. Spoilt my fun. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Yesterday was a lovely early spring day down here in 'The Shire.' Warm at a balmy 9.7 deg C, light winds carrying the shrill yet warbling notes of Goldfinches on the breeze whilst a distant Wood Pigeon added a slight woodwind twist to the avian orchestra played out in the skies above. Perfect conditions for a session of 'across and down' work on a chalk stream perhaps, sadly the trout season hasn't started yet. All seemed right with the world until it was rudely interrupted by a ruddy great grey angry palm tree shattering the tranquillity in their usual brutish manner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyverns4 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Shortly returning back home to good old Blighty, (my 90 days are up and El Hefe says I must leave - before returning), and DO NOT TELL THE LOVELY YVONNE, going alone. The bliss of getting to the airhead a few hours ahead and not with 1 minute to spare. Finding a good spot to ogle the passing airframes and doing so, thus keeping out of the Stygian black hole of Dar-es-Salaam Calcutta that passes for a lounge. Boarding the flight unencumbered by multiple bags and sitting down to enjoy the inflight media, meal and snooze A quick walk through the arrival terminal. That first, second and third pints of real English Ale at the Victoria, Dunstable around about mid afternoon on Monday The cold. The (returning) snow. More beer. Fish and chips. Even more beer. ... Going to collect Yvonne from Heathrow 10 days later. Christian, shortly temporarily relieved from africa 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasermonkey Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Finding out that my favourite Chinese restaurant, which closed down a year or two ago, is reopening. It may only be takeaway only for the time being and it's a fifty mile round trip, but we'll be there when the doors open on their first day. It's the best food I've ever tasted.
