Morning MV. Morning kids. We're packing today for a short trip back to blighty to see family. Im looking forward to seeing all the St George flags, celebrating a Turkish immigrant born in Palestine. It shows how the English have embraced immigration and multiculturalism.
Morning Tom 🌄 👋 ☕️ 🦋. Have a safe trip!
We go tomorrow. Today I'll be topping up the solar hot water system and the hydraulic oil in one of the gate closers. It's all rock 'n' roll here.
Morning Tom If you are near us, you should pop in. I've only been out of the country since last Friday, and I'm wondering what I'm going back to
That's very kind of you, Kerry. It would have been nice. We're Heading to Sheffield, where I think we'll be spread fairly thinly. We haven't seen a lot of people since before Covid 19. We have to go to TGI Friday to see one part of the clan. I'm not sure if we've ever been to one of these before
I was in Sheffield last Nov to see our granddaughter who is at uni there. I could walk out to the peak district. I was in the EndCliffe area very leafy.
Yup, that's where I was dragged up.
A tad jealous. Can't wait until I can visit again. However, she is in Kazakhstan, so her mum brother and I will be going there for the half term holidays. Next September, she's back for final year, so I'll be back.
It's a little known fact that from Hunters Bar, you can walk (mostly) on public footpaths all the way to Scotland. I've done it.
Kazakhstan, WOW! I'd love to go there!
I never thought I would be. It certainly wasn't on my list
I watched the Spice Trail thing with Joanna Lumley. She said you should go to all the 'stans'. Said they were lovely and the people very welcoming.
I watched it, too. I may need to revisit it
.. And where I'll be.
A big flock of noisy Swifts just flew overhead, gathering their mates together, heading to Africa for some winter sun.
Already!
The farmers are scurrying around like crazy. I'm staying off the roads. We have 'interesting' weather incoming. Heavy rainstorms/ hail and very strong winds forecast for later this afternoon / evening / overnight. Ive taken all the sun sails down and put them away Its hot, muggy and utterly still.
Sun sails?
Shade sails...
Yes. We had a load of Cranes heading south last week too.
This has been the fastest year EVER!
Im not sure what we're going back to, either. I think it will have changed a lot. At least where we're staying is a leafy suburb, where people wear vegan shoes and hug trees, so we should be OK.
I just spent the weekend in Fulwood and can confirm. 👍🥳
Morning Ailsa
Morning Keri 👋 Off to take my poorly car to the garage. The 'Camshaft Allignment Sensor' was alarming apparently. 😮 Doesn't sound good.
I'm not even going to pretend I know what you've just said, only that any strange new noise from a car is not good. Fingers cross it doesn't cost too much to repair
It's a fairly minor job, really.
Oooh really? That's excellent news. Thanks Tom. 😅
I understand that
That's all I need to know is a minor or a major job
Morning Tom 👋 Don't forget some of them are Danish flags as the imbeciles don't know the difference between the colour of the field & the cross
