I really didnt need a roasting tray that I would have bought.
Luckily realizing I would have had no weight limit for the smuggled sausages I still need to buy Tuesday morning!

Don’t buy ‘em? :man_shrugging:t3:

Too late.
I am a sucker for Timberland gear tbh about the only shoes that fit me perfectly.
Plus the shoes were cheaper than most of the socks in the place


ÂŁ17.50?
Sausages can go in coat pocket at that price!

Put 5 in each shoe should fit :rofl:

Following Monty Dons advice, using 4’ canes with flowerpots on top, with fine netting draped over to protect brassicas from birds AND cabbage white butterflies, who decimated my brassicas several years ago.
Yesterday I was in the garden shouting “ha ha fuck off to all the cabbage whites” flying aimlessly round the garden.
OMG I’m becoming as mad as some of you lot!

It’s a great life lesson to learn to take all small victories wherever and whenever you can tbf.

Picking up an electronic Range Rover key fob on my dog walk this morning…and throwing in a the largest bramble bush I could find! :rofl:

Naaa not really. I’d noticed a Range Rover parked across the road from the entrance to the Public Footpath and I’d only passed one walker with his dog on our outward route. He said “Hi” and our dogs had a quick run around.

As I walked across an open pasture I found the fob. Oh dear someone will be shitting bricks when they get back to their car. These things cost a bloody fortune to replace and this wasn’t a Ford Focus so multiply that fortune by five.

I decided it must be the chap I’d passed five minutes before so I turned around and walked back towards the entrance. As expected there was the chap I’d passed a while before walking quickly back along the path. When we got to 50 yards apart I waved the key fob. He reacted as if he just scored the winning goal in the Cup Final, “YESSS YOU’RE A LEGAND” he shouted.
“I know, it’s what I do” :lou_lol:

“You’ve saved my life he said, It’s our second wedding anniversary today and we’re out to dinner this evening”

Ahh that’s nice, I think I have a new friend. :lou_lol:

After 3 weeks of being “ignored” by Grandaughter due to my beard, she had to rely on me this morning as Mum & Dad were working.
Mid morning she finally got the courage to accept my offer of a trip to the park & an ice cream
We were gone 2.5 hours. Had a great time and yummy melty ice creams

Well spotted

You did that wrong.

Cosh over the side of the head. Free Range Rover init, which is far better than the poor Range Rovers they keep in battery cages.
