    Morning cloportes

    Grey and very very wet. Doubt think it could get much greyer and wetter though Freyr and Thor might go out of their way to prove me wrong.
    A few bits to do and a few chores but not a lot else really.

    Shorty got 2 stones in the house yesterday. Say 'Well done Shorty'.
    Beans is currently spooked by DWT's halloween outfit on a hangar.
    Pumpkins are out scaring off the locals.

    Enforced drive in. Road works on every possible route, lots of traffic, grumpy.

    In your car, on the phone, stuck in traffic and posting on BR?

    Long walk for the hounds meant my run was in the rain 🙄

    Nice moody pics though




    Later is undecided, but probably not a swim as did nearly an hour last night and I’ve not got the upper body strength for it

    Got up early for a call with The Kingdom of Far Far Away who promptly cancelled so I'm getting revenge by rescheduling so they need to do the call evening their time.

    Anyhow, they seem to be dropping like flies at my place. One bloke had a cardiac arrest the other day: another got bitten by some insect on holiday, got infected with something and got rushed into hospital when his kidneys stopped working. Both in ICU as I speak.

    May go into Halloween Grinch mode tonight and turn the driveway lights off to deter visits from scrounging ankle biters >:)

    It's easy round here, if you decorate the house, and put out a lit jack o lantern, then you're fair game, if not, you don't get bothered. This year will be the first with nothing out, as mini is off to a party instead.

    I loved the little one's all dressed up knocking on the door. I would get them to tell me ghost/halloween jokes. If they were in the teenage bracket I would simply tell them that they were too old for this malarkey. We get no visits here in the sticks.
    Never had any bother but Stevo doesn't like children.

    How do you make a ghost straight?

    'noon

    Dry so far, probably wet again later.
    Car still alive.
    Not sure about the elderly neighbours though :/

    Afternoon folks,
    A chilly but pleasant wobble in to work this morning, nobody tried to kill me. Presumably I wasn't seen by anybody that knows me then.
    I'm out to a pub later so shouldn't get bothered, as with B³ if nothing is put out we don't get bothered.
    Have to agree with Seano, loads of roadworks around. 3 miles from ours to the old dear's, a set of roadworks every mile.
    Onwards and upwards...

    Afternoon
    Well grim here so a session on the turbo was had. Took old telly to the tip, then bike to shop to get chain set checked as it’s one of the dodgy ones. As I get a click at 11:00 on the non chain set side, it is going to Maidisons for a check. Clicks or other noises are possible sign of delaminating.
    Ended driving through a flooded road on the way home fortunately it wasn’t deep enough for me to end being one of those stupid sods who should know better.🥵

    A'noon. WFW this morning. WFH this afternoon. With dentist visit in between to sort out filling from a few weeks back. Filling very close to nerve and causing irritation. Needs root canal. Had the option of a 'private' dental treatment for £800 or the NHS version! I opted for the latter. I can't feel my face and I don't recall having some chewing gum. I guess I'll find out soon what I've been chomping on.


    Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

    I've pulled some manky old satsumas out the bottom of the fridge to dish out in case one of the neighbours kids comes round as I can't tell them to fark off.

    I've only ever seen pictures of drive side coming apart, presumably no more likely one side or the other, but drive side looks more impressive in pictures for websites such as this.

    I thought "Dish out" meant throwing it straight in their left eye like he's Shoaib Akhtar.

    :D

    We had one lot of snot noses who braved the dark steep driveway. I offered them a manky satsuma and they said no, not surprising as they looked like they preferred sweets...

    Then the 2 year old who was with her Mum at the bottom of the drive decided she wanted a satsuma so I gave her the whole lot. I'm generous like that :smile:

    Whilst walking to a pub and dodging ghosts and ghouls on the pavement i heard a couple of choice comments from kids:
    "Do I know you or are you just some random I can't recognise?"
    "Happy Chrisma... I mean halloween" whilst thanking someone for sweets.

    £28 for a big of cod!? If you’re paying, it’s a date. I’ll wear my best frock, flutter my eyelashes and laugh at your jokes.
