    As an aside, bambino just flooded his bathroom.

    normally i wouldn't care but i've just spent £11k on the bootroom directly below the bathroom. Tiles, decorating, bespoke cupboards, lighting.....


    lets see how big that insurance claim will be.

    water just started leaking through the ceiling....

    Heh heh. The Orb. Fantakka. Takes me back.

    Lovely sky though. Just starting to get a bit nippy.

    Fed the plants and the beds. Cooked. Served drinks.

    please excuse poor light - its just buggered off behind the trees.

    its normally got stripes but today is horizontals, like the tide coming towards you.

    i like to call it "the tide coming towards you"

    Farmer Daffydd wins. Yours looks like the Oval outfield after a scorcher of a summer. You'd think with all that rain in Cymru, you'd be greener.

    Lovely space though MF's. No complaints about that.

    Is there a finer light in the UK than the gloaming in June?

    We'd then go off and get mashed on 'shrooms.

    Ahhhhh - they wete the days.

    Autumn '94. Went with 3 others to one of their parent's cottage in Fishguard. Picked 6 full tesco carrier bags on the cliffs. Not looked for, just there. Everywhere you looked.

    Dried them, and kept half of Southampton's hippies high for a month. Never done them since. Always made me introspective rather than giggly. Still, they were natural, so wore off quickly enough, with no ill effects.

    Well the main thing is that you like your grass 👍

    It looks nice and short and fairly level from the pic 👍

    Ahhhhh - they wete the days.

    '91 to '96 to be precise. They were the days. Eclipse in Cov. Then a lost 3 years at university. Then 6 months in India.

    '97 to '03 were OK, but job and exams and mortgage payments and marrying the 1st Mrs H³.

    I/we are more comfortable now than we have ever been, I plan for my future (should I be lucky enough that my past doesn't catch up with me) and my kid's security, but I'm still that kid from 30 years ago. A bass line, a sunset, a glance out of the corner of someone's eye. The world is huge, so much more to see.

    Ach. Back to work Monday. Living the dream.

    Other lights are available!

    Good for footy, and no need for throw ins :smile:

    I'm knucking fackered now, 10 hours of driving with a break at the the services on the way back where Stropteen and I chatted over a Maccy D's (her choice). So many roadworks and speed cameras I spent half the time on cruise control - yawn. Explains how I got close on 35mpg :o

    I'll have a drink before unloading The Panzer.

    It's all those sheep, overgrazing on the MF's lawn.

    Why did you have to chuck small detail in my meandering reminiscence?

    Up here, the light in the late evening at this time of year is quite beautiful.

    Those far away goal posts need to be shifted tot he right a little.
    This is what happens when you burn too much stuff.
    I think the new tactic must be chucking stuff over before setting alight to it.

    I think Hoppy should get kudos for having the cojones to flirt with one of his wife's mates right in front of her. Unfortunately I think he's in for a 'Bobbitting' from Mrs. H3 tonight, so cojones will be all he has left tomorrow :p

    Nah. She's routinely unpleasant to both of us, so we were giving each other a bit of a boost. You look good, love your dress, did you do something with your hair? Did you lose weight? Nuffink serious. Though if things were different? In a heartbeat.

    She must be a good pal if she still comes around after getting treated like that on a regular basis. Anyway, hopefully your tackle is still intact this morning :)

    Of course it is. Nothing serious. Just a bit of fun. Unless of course she's planning the long revenge...

    You see, I would never dare. My wife sedates things and surgically removes their testicles for a living. She wouldn't think twice.

    The likelihood of my OH making me sedate means it'd be low risk for me :p
