well

I'm thinking really hard here but nothing's coming.
But to be fair I am just having my tea.
God lord, you said you were running out of things to do so i pictorially suggested Wells, although coming from zomerzet it wouldn't surprise me if the fact it was more than 4 villages away you'd never bin oover thar.
Like your shopping list btw
Actually I have a sister who lives in Wells, Bella's former owner, and it's on the list!
It is an awful long way off though... and I don't really like to use the car after lunchtime.
Shame you could have done a mini travel thread - fantastic Cathedral.
Is there an owed green on offer for guessing what's written on that note?
I doubt that, but I'm gonna have to get off my arse and go to the kitchen and check.
I hate to say it but I'm a bit curious meself now.
You'll kick yourselves when you find out!
Mowhawk on ledge
^ I'd like to say close Joe, but that's nowhere near.
Think what my 85 year old mum would write on a note. It all makes sense.
It's like wheel of fortune without that milf Jenny Powell
A perch was the first fish I ever caught on the canal behind my mum and dad's when I was a kid too. You should get out there for a spell while you're back and use up some of that free time. Running up and down the canal every morning was too much for me when I was back last summer; I was up at the fishing shop in no time and was out 3 or 4 times a week every week in different places. I loved every minute of it and, more importantly, I never stopped catching!
Many an day spent on here when I was a kid and it was still offering up plenty of roach and perch - and plenty of pike - when I rocked up again!
I'd love to just retire, go back home and fish and eat pork pies all summer! Just a shame there are only about 3 days of it!!!
Fishing under those electric pylons?
Last time I rode under them I got an electric shock of my bike frame.
^^ Hal, that's a great idea. All my old coarse fishing gear is still in the garage. I'll check it out tomorrow but I reckon after nearly 40 years it'll need a bit of attention. I'd love to catch a big perch again... that one of yours looks like a fine fish!
I got out and about to a few private places and had some lovely tench and bream too. Glorious days with some great fish and then stopping at the chippy on the way home for as much gravy as a man could ever wish for!
It doesn't get much better than that, does it?
I will say that it wasn't quite as enjoyable as the months started to tick over, so make sure you've got some thermals on and a hip flask with you if you do get out!
Nowhere near them mate. There's a stretch further up which is blocked off, but the biggest danger I faced was from dogs being walked who were hellbent on running off with my fishrag!!!
No matter what time I was there, I didn't even see any dogging either. Damn. Drat. Blast.
The Malbec should be a small step up from that Diabolico. A very small step up. Still, Malbec is usually drinkable.
(Grumble about TD. I wrote a much longer message and it wasn't auto-saved beyond here when I tried to post it and TD said I wasn't logged in. All gone. Try again.)
The Côtes du Rhône should be very drinkable with a snake & pygmyor pork pie or anything really.
I happened to be listening to a UK radio station yesterday when Boots advertised a promotion on Braun/Oral-B products. Perfect opportunity for you to get that electric toothbrush. Get the more expensive model and remember extra brushes for the family and for replacements. They wear out and they are a little pricey here.
I am enjoying the photographs.
Can I get back to you when I hit 85 and see what makes sense then?
The note is saved, but not urgent, she knows where it is when she needs it. So I am thinking it is a note that gets re-used occasionally. Like 'No milk today.'
Do you have a grass verge outside the house that gets mowed sometimes? Then a note like that on the table could be a reminder that the mower is on the verge.
This is painful... I thought it was pretty obvious. Greens/owed greens all round for effort... apart from Joe, that was ridiculous. Shutree's 'No milk today' was also pretty poor.
Yep, my mum leaves this note on the kitchen table to remind her when she's put the electric mower on charge in the garage. I must admit, I hope I'm still fit enough to be mowing my lawn at 85.
I've inherited my mum's habit of writing notes to myself, to which end I keep a large yellow post-it pad and pen in my carry-on bag. I've done this ever since I left 8 kg of mature cheddar in a Bangkok hotel mini-bar when I had to make a stop-over on my way home one time. Since then I'm sure many Bangkok cleaning ladies have been bemused to find a yellow post-it note saying 'CHEESE' stuck to the inside of my hotel room door after I've departed.
Going fishing today seemed like a great idea after a couple of ciders last night... but bollocks to that. We had a frost last night and it's bladdy freezing out there.
I'm gonna do some computer stuff today.
Like that, of that ilk, a note that gets re-used, occasionally. Should have got there, tbf. At 85 her mower has to be electric. Not a great leap from there.
Great pic of a frosty morning. Nice to see, from the warmth of my sofa, far away. I'm not good with cold. This morning at 0630 it was noticeably cool here, not cool enough to need a heavier T-shirt though.
