You really think some “Police Line - Don’t Cross” tape is going to stop a deer who sees some tasty treats?

Mrs P_F has just uttered the immortal words.

“Honey, we need some more empty beer cans”

It’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it

Actually maybe.
In that in any gentle breeze it vibrates/flutters.
Seeing as we are down to fumes until the furlough money gets released it’s all we got.
OK nah.
This was Mrs P_F’s BFF’s suggestion. I have learned to simply nod and get on with it, much simpler than getting the full “Well, YOUR idea didn’t work” in the morning…

You see that wall behind your veggie patch…a deer could clear that without a run up.

Good job they can’t stand red stripey plastic tape. :rofl:

So we’ve received some free furniture lately. The eldest’s mate donate pretty neat corner sofa for the garden. I’ve no issue with that. Last night, the cheap futon in the kids’ living room collapsed. I am not so happy with the solution.

It’s a replacement couch from a den of known COVID. The donors recovered weeks ago. After it is delivered, and they have left, I ask the missus “Are you going to clean that couch then?”.

“Why?”, she asks.

“It’s a COVID couch. They’ve probably been coughing and spluttering for weeks on it”, I reply.

“They’ve recovered. They’ve got antibodies”, she says.

“No one knows if you’re immune after you get it yet”.

She’s cleaning the COVID couch.

Perhaps your good lady is hoping they have shed antibodies on the furniture…if so, can I have some. :lou_lol:
P.S. Will send a SAE if the answer is in the affirmative.

The Ayatollah’s latest purchase - garden corner sofa - turned up today

We got it from Haskins who must live in the Stone Age. They had to go to the warehouse to check stock. Spent ten minutes ruffling through paperwork when the Ayatollah rang up with a query.

I have been taking the piss that we will get a bbq delivered.

Sofa did arrive minus six cushions and in the wrong colour

Ayatollah is swearing like a docker and I am trying to keep a diplomatic silence - badly

Tea time session today was held in my back garden.

Word got out and I received requests from non Super 6 members to attend. Told them they would have to make some placards and march up and down the Close to avoid the plod who lives next door.

They didn’t show. I assume they got kettled in Swaythling.

Just a pity it appears to be located in cold war era Germany, before the wall came down. I bet he’s growing beetroot.
