    50 is the new 40 don't you know!

    Morning hungover fools!

    Got more work on today, minor bits and bobs over at the renovation and some shelving to bring organisation to the tractor barn.

    Out tonight for foods and boozes

    Toodles.

    I do that, but not just after a shower :)

    Evening Gimps, having a big chicken dinner and some cider after a bit of a manic day due to Stropteen needing to be transported everywhere :roll: Managed to get a few Christmas cards written mind.

    Morning you snowbound weird uns!

    Shocking weather here but no snow to take photos of for Farkbook.

    Slight hangover this morning after dinner at a pals last night and off out for Sunday lunch where I'll be avoiding the booze like a good lad.
    Are you all working tomorrow? Or does the 2mm of snow mean an extra day off?

    I might have to work from home if it's the wrong sort of snow for the trains - but no escape for me either way.

    The slush is still falling here. This mornings walk with the hound lasted about 5 minutes as he wimped out as soon as he took his dump, so we'll try get him out again this afternoon otherwise he'll go stir crazy. Had a good full English slap up with some mates in Bromley earlier so will not need to eat till tonight :)

    I'm guessing nobody has found the body of officer Mule yet.

    I'm from the same Division as he was.

    Did not complete the PCSO course. No idea where he went.

    Hope he's alright. I guess they found out about the bodies.

    Morning stalkers and stalkees,
    Bloody knackered this morning, only got about 3 hours kip last night for some reason. As is traditional I was of course sound when the alarm went off.
    Just cold and wet round here this morning, snowing reasonably heavily in central London yesterday when I went out for lunch. Didn't get back from lunch until gone 10 as we were distracted by pubs. Hoping for a quiet day in the office so I can get some kip.

    Evening fudge packers,

    Wet and windy here again today, had to transport a load of hemp that will be getting mixed with lime and sprayed on the renovation project walls, definitely not the wacky baccy kind officer!

    The rest of the day has been pottering about doing stuff. More cement mixing tomorrow.

    No wonder he didn't come back. Maybe we should look in ditches after all. Or in bg's dungeon?

    Evenin All, a dose of man flu and a busy day at work didn't help though I managed to sort an appointment to get my dodgy shoulder looked at on the private. Now chilling with the hound in front of the telly.

    Hmm, I notice bg hasn’t denied having mule in his dungeon.
    Fairly slow day at work followed a late start. Going to veg for all I’m worth now. Another beer from the advent calendar beckons.

    Got a mild dose of CBA at work today and dicked off early to see a consultant about my dodgy shoulder. MRI scan now booked in for next Friday. Now vegging out on the sofa following the footy.

    I'm tired. Had a bad night's sleep in a hotel after the mega Wurzels gig and enough cider to sink a battleship :) Followed by work Christmas lunch and more grog. Having a quiet one tonight !

    Morning weekend walkers,

    Up early for this clown to feed the animals and then went onto scaffold removal. Now I'm going to be a domestic goddess as the folks are over tomorrow for a couple of weeks!
    In other news we came last in the quiz last night but won two prizes on the raffle, so there's two Xmas presents less to buy! Also had a good drink at the quiz and nearly kicked off with the walkers on the next table, they were taking it a bit too seriously.

    I bet they were French.

    I discovered a couple of unwanted pressies that will do very nicely for the work Secret Santa as I CBA to buy stuff for it.

    Now sat in Costa supping a bucket of coffee after getting a few supplies from town. If I went home now I would only get jobs to do :) This afternoon will involve Christmas tree procurement than maybe a run before cider o'clock.

    Last quiz I went to we had similar problems, over competitive walkers marked ours down and lied about what they’d scored. Watching their faces when they were called up to collect their prize then disqualified for cheating after they stood up to get their prize was hilarious. They left very soon after without finishing their drinks.
    Busy day fixing stuff at the ‘rents. Chilling now before going to work Christmas bash later. Much beer will be drunk.

    Evenin Reprobates,

    Hound walked, jobs done, Christmas booze bought and I'm now staying well clear while the Christmas tree gets decorated.

    Going to give this cycling malarkey a try after the shoulder specialist agreed that roadie riding uses no upper body muscles so I should be OK, but if it hurts, don't do it again. Great advice from a learned consultant :)
