Morning Sauvages
Rain and lots of it.
Back to project rental it is then. If I said there was light at the end of the tunnel, would it tempt fate?
What did you do to the critter to get rid Webboo - hot poker, blow torch, iron, acid or just a pair of pliers?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Morning folks,
Another glorious day here, trying to find good reasons not to take wife and daughter to the outlet village, getting back in good time for a meal out with friends is the best I’ve come up with so far.
Piña, pay attention, meet thistle and his former little friend. He used to hang around more often. Webboo doesn’t live in Wales.0 -
Good warm ride in - bit early for me but it blew away the cobwebs. Caffeine and pasty based refuelling now in progress
Pinno - we use one of those 'tick twister' tools to get them off the hounds (a sort of small two pronged plastic fork with the prongs at angle). Not had to try it on myself so far, I don't seem to be tasty enough for them to have a go."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
I lost. Me trying to reason with two women that had shopping in mind was only going to end one way.0

In Kenya, they used this fire stick thingy. I think they called it a cigarette.Stevo_666 said:Good warm ride in - bit early for me but it blew away the cobwebs. Caffeine and pasty based refuelling now in progress

Or currently don’t have any ticks, although in the past I’ve had them in worrying places.veronese68 said:Morning folks,

Anyhow morning.
Currently waiting a call back from my health insurance in regard to tooth removal. 20 minutes on hold before I went call back. Now about an hour.
Not sure how to start the day as no dogs to walk. Seems very quiet and even the cats are looking puzzled.
Just had a call back and claim sorted. So I can now get on with doing nothing.0 -
Thistle posted a picture of a tick, TLW replied to that. Webboo hasn't posted yet.pinno said:

No I don’t live in Wales. I have been there many times but never got a tick unless one in a climbing guide book counts.0
-
Definitely thistle with a tick.
My dog picks them up in Exmoor. She gets the spot treatment, like for fleas, so some of them just fall off dead, but we've had to dig a few out with the tool.0 -
Curry and beer is still repeating. Newly opened restaurant did well and will get a repeat visit no doubt.
Then there was wine...
Just booked a wine tasting and lunch day out whilst we're in Italy (yes I'm going on holiday)
Might try and be good tonight.Advocate of disc brakes.0 -
We had a very fluffy border collie who used to collect ticks regularly in the long grass when it was warm and wet (lot of deer round here) Frontline may have had some effect on them but I was forever removing them looking quite full and still waving their legs. Became quite adept at twisting the buggers out quickly using just fingers.0

Happy Friday everyone! 🍷 🍹 🍸
Gorgeous day, not too blazing, a little breeze, perfect.

No, 1) It's summer and 2) my ACL hasn't grown back after the last time.seanoconn said:

Off to our house on Lake Como.
They certainly are! As we're driving over I might sneak a few bottles in the back of the truck. It should be good for a few hundred or soveronese68 said:Holidays and wine are a fine idea HD.

Wet, wet, wet today. Good thing we finished the outdoorsy jobs yesterday. Slept in, stayed indoors, lit the fire .
I did manage a turbo ride this arvo in the shed, then dinner out with friends at pub.Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0 -
We're 5 up in the car on the way back so might be tight on space, should manage a few though. We pass near Lake Como on the way back. Turn off the motorway at Bergamo and cross country towards Chiasso rather than face Milan traffic.homers_double said:

Aye now, remember that Brexshit bonus of allowances - 18l pp wine, 42l pp beers. Inbound to the dUK anyways. Have a good one.homers_double said:

So am I allowed 90litres of wine and 210litres of beer? That might be a bit of a squeeze after 5 people and luggage. Should I pick my favourite child or just ditch the lad’s girlfriend. The latter is probably the safest option.
Of course dropping a person reduces the allowance to 72 and 168 litres if my arithmetic is correct.0 -
Woah. The ChurnUps (mystery band) at Glasto are indeed the FooFighters. Live now! Bring on a long weekend.0
