    Can we mark this day down ready to celebrate next year?

    I’ve fixed something myself, the sliding window wasn’t opening on the van and with a razor blade, GT85 and a block of wood - it now works

    WFH, then if hopefully finish the packing in time, start off on our holiday to Wales around 15.00 (Staying over somewhere near Redditch on the way to break the journey up).

    We prefer to call it "found it open and were worried if anyone was hurt inside so we poked our heads in and all this stuff in our pockets is ours"

    I'll try that one.

    You could add "You wouldn't want all this stuff to fall into the wrong hands would you officer?".

    agree - no one likes a soiled rim.

    so you didn't throw anything at him at all?

    desk?
    shelf?
    child?

    Bubbly corks, empty sun cream bottles and a NYT aren't very intimidating.

    It suddenly came to me - that miscreant that SG bumped into was one of Seano's kids.

    I actually thought that had you trained him up better, he might have got away with it.
    So it's your fault.

    My girls look sweet and innocent - it's the perfect guise.

    You're half Welsh, half Italian. Seano is half Irish, half English. I'm half English, one quarter Welsh and one quarter Irish*.
    So you can hardly call me racist.

    How much sh*t can I stir up whilst procrastinating? I need to start making dinner and I have zero energy/inclination.

    Xxxx that was a hot one. Rehydrating before beer time.

    How many thistles pulled? Many, many, many. No puddy tat. But lots of wildlife in this 'river of life' meadow and backwater area. Sparrowhawk kept visiting, looking for ready grab opportunities I guess; kestrel, red kites of course, green woodpecker, heron, damselflies, ladybirds lots of, and so on down the scale. A good day, enjoyed it.

    Now then, beers beckon.

    Rarely had horse drawn drays, even when Youngs still used them out of Wandsworth, as it's at the top of a hill.

    Posh now though, innit? I preferred it how it was, not that I knew it "in your day", but 10-15 years ago I used to go in a lot, as a mate lived on Edge Hill.

    There's still a hard core of the old clientele who haven't yet died of knackered livers/copd/emphysema/lung cancer. In fact, you can see the mobility scooter of one such type in the foreground of the pic...

    The last "famous" person I spotted in there was noted alleged "sex pest" John Leslie, dressed like a right nonce in some kind of pastel striped blazer, white shorts and boat shoes.

    I'm sure that the Pig and Whistle in Earlsfield, well Wimbledon Park really I suppose, used to get its beer off a horse drawn dray when I first moved there. But I could be imagining that.
