Awake too early, combination of heat, thirst, full bladder and noise of the AC. Was still 27degrees at 23:00! Be good out there. (Hill Street Blues?) Rue, Pert, Bare.

Not in my Crocs i won't. The drive there and back is good, Google Earth doesn't do the terrain justice, even getting down to the bottom of the Gorge is a hike! Will have a meal or two in Chora Skafion though! Really treating myself tonight, got a 1.5ltr plastic bottle of dry red for €3.88!

Made it to Crete, landed at midnight then drove for nearly two hours across the mountains, (checkout the road down from Imbros Gorge). Sea sounds rough - must have been a storm out to sea. Jobs like a bt of shopping then lazying about! Busking, Duck, Tours.

Will's wedding party was a right good affair. In a sheep field, marquee up for food which was excellent home made stuff, 6 bell tents, bales, table and chairs daisy chain lights and decent music! Good company and we came home sober and a tad early. Sweet. Off to Stansted later. Corps, Wrecked. (Read Corps with silent P and S).

V6 or 4 banger?

Morning Team! Couple of jobs around the house then collect her. Off to an evening wedding do for Will and Georgia (will works with Jase at GreenMech), overnight in a hotel then flight out to Crete tomorrow! Be good, be safe! Due, Teak, Awls.

Tried growing tomatoes in hanging baskets. In essence, it worked but the brand is one with a right tough skin which I don't like! Such a shame!

Chicken and bacon pasta bake made with toons! Holiday mode kicking in! 20250821_184021.mp4

I too didn't benefit from a good night's kip! Getting a cup of tea in already! Enjoy the day and work hard and safe! Mars, Cup, Pony.

Funny how this has got around, I took the original at a little show/village fair some 15 plus years back in Lincolnshire!

Back home today to get stuff sorted for holiday. Toy car to MOT, house to clean, bag to pack, wedding do on Friday evening, blah blah. Sold some stuff on Ebay which needs posting etc. Grey hear and telegraph reckons that storm Erin is coming this direction! Mush, Room, Bargee.

Danny's funeral was hard, I've an emotional streak that surfaces easily! I can be hard nosed and tough at times but tearful at some stuff. His widow and two daughters plus myself and other SIL, met the hearse, had the harrowing view of them touching the coffin etc and really had to think of other stuff to halt me from breaking down. The walk into the church in front of the coffin in front of 250 plus people was tough. His grandson, Joe, read "If" by Rudyard Kipling with great dignity and the graveside thing was heartbreaking too. Wake across the road in the local was good with decent food etc and several pints and a laugh with a few other folk was fun but the day seems empty now!

Job hunting really starts when we get back from Crete in a little over two weeks.

Morning All. Danny's funeral this morning and it ain't my thing, too emotional. "If" is one of the readings and I'll weep. Be good and go home safe. Day, Man, Hill.

Bed early and awake for a couple of hours already! She fretting about tomorrow's funeral so gonevfor tea. Good good'all! Wool, Found.

Ronnie Rondell, stuntman on fire on the Pink Floyd album, Wish You Were Here.

He never flew operationally once he recovered! Apparently, medics had to give him blood while still sat in the pilots seat too!

Awake too early and no doubt will have to have a nap! Too much going on int head! Newark half marathon today for her. That was a good idea....... Weevil, Rock, Cue.

Awake for a bit, she gone for the tea, I'm looking at news etc! Enjoy the day! Sultan, Vinnie, Gar.

I was surprised at the level of fundraising that they have organised over this! Prints of dendrochronology on everything from t shirts to postcards, and back again! They really got into the felling for money! Don't know why they had not collected the sycamore keys and grow them and sell the saplings rather then beg over phone pads and pictures which are cock all use!

Back in Shepshed and the noise of the motorway is deafening after Tytherleigh! Loads of phone calls today and up to Retford later. Hoping to have a few leveling pints int Brewshed later! What with jacking job, death of the FIL, estrangement from daughter and grandson and Mum's dementia, life is tough at the moment. Finish Friday please and go home to your family for friday afternoon/evening! High, Dan, Sikh.

Vat of Chilli to freeze up for the old folk! Teaching then how to read a packet mix! Sweet!

Morning Folks. Awake early again! Another day in Devon with a walk in Charmouth or some other place it is decided upon! Back home tonight and getting gritty and determined about a future employment tomorrow! Be good today! War, Kinks, Tic.

Members of this group! It is with a heavy heart and a huge amount of sadness that I can confirm that I recently resigned from GreenMech after 27 years and a previous 5 years as an owner! I have yet to organise a new position but can only hope that it is as fulfilling as associating with you bunch! I wish you all good health and happiness going forwards and heartfelt thanks to my colleagues over the years and to you folks as supporters of the brand! I have many, many good friends among you and many memories of good times and bad, triumph and tragedy, wins and losses, stories and tales. I'll continue to post on here and ask that you post too! The community is not limited to owners but interested parties, not limited to sales posts but to humour, information and help in any measure! Best wishes to you all and cheers to a fulfilling future! Oh, and buy what I'm selling next please,😏

Up early for no reason! Walk up Golden Cap with the old folk maybe, or just around Landon Wood! Going to be another hot one! Be safe folks! Logger, Rhythm.
