Still and quiet today. Started to watch the Netflix thing about Ed Gein. What a sick bloke he was and I wonder how many more there like him who got away with their crimes. Odd jobs etc today.... Bow, Team, Murk, Beatrice.
-
Yes Les, role in the Business Support bit of an Arb contractor. Partially on spanners and fleet care etc. Totally away from Sales etc. Good people who I've known for years and right looking forward to the changes!

Hella rain and wind yesterday evening and night but seems to brightish now. Forecast was grim for today though. Glossing the stairs, dog walk, rugby, pub sort of day hopefully! Be good n safe if you out working today! Cell, Amanda.

Has rained Iin the night but not blowy yet! Hope it brings you some work but be safe in the weather! Drive home, change the contents of the bag and drive to Caz's returning on Sunday to make sure Tom sorted for Sick Week, his next drag and drive adventures in America. Whack, Sand, Wayne.

RIP Patrick Murray. Aka Mickey Pearce in Only Fools.....68 lung cancer. Epic programme and one only a few things that kept out the pub in the 80's! Thanks chap.

Had a great vat of curry for old folk and sister last night, good catch up and question old folk on things of the past but Mum's dementia mean she can be pretty rude about stuff from the past - "his father was a dirty old groper, always grabbing girls arses and he was a noise in the Weslean Chapel too!"....... Going to aTaunton for something to do and possibly another walk along Charmouth later. Found a huge seam of Copralites along the beach - 95 million year old Dino pooh! Be good at work and get ready for the storm! Art, Hitch, Oak.
-
Tide in at lunch so afternoon stroll along Charmouth beach with the old folk. Think I got to take a couple of calls about work too! Exploring a couple of job opportunities. Vat of curry to be made later for the old folks freezer. Did a large lasagne last night and they both had seconds which is a good sign.this followed by a couple of beers at Perry Street Club while the traditional local skittles teams played. Enjoy the day safely. Sin, Cos, Whim.

Off to Devon for a few days later. Couple of household chores first though. Couldn't sleep so did the crossword soon after midnight and been awake since so will be early in bed tonight. Be good y'all, drive safely! Get, Ova, Writ.

Still but autumnal here, bright but cold. Hit a deer last night and felt pretty awful on the drive home. Going to spend some time with old folk in Devon tomorrow onwards, batch cooking fir their freezer etc. Got to have a discussion about a memorial service in Inverness as cousin was found hanging in a tree recently. Poor girl at peace after years of turmoil. Dad cannot manage the trip with mums dementia, and we were not that close bit she is still family. Fill, Tough, Knell.

Rained in the night, is grey now but not due rain again! DIY type stuff, dog walk and rugby on tv hopefully. Good luck with the dressage! Bonus daughter is in to the cross country etc, currently suffering broken ankle after getting tossed while getting in to the saddle! Local trials are on soon so will have to combine watching within hustle of photographing! Enjoy the day. Meaty, Horror, Logical.

Just thinking about this "right to work" ID cards which every employer will have to record when the calculate their workers taxable income and availability to work....... Back when I was a youth, I got given a unique number which the state used to identify me, my address, age, tax status etc. This, I believe, is still needed for employment and is called a National Insurance Number. Let's just say, "if ain't got one, you cannot get a job, benefits, NHS services and can deported that afternoon along with any dependants no matter where they where born! Would that work? Or are we better off waiting for these cards to be issued within the next 5 years?
-
Morning All. Good evening at the rugby yesterday and will seem if i can get to watch Tigers match on tv but. She got some DIY jobs that need doing! Having a lie-in so will have a late start to the day. Might treat her a beer or two before supper too! Enjoy your weekend folks. Mitt, Sea, Gaye, Gnawed.

I could swear I posted already! Enjoy your Friday safely please! Tom just told us of a story from Santa Pod. A team with a 9 second car (right fast), accidentally put diesel in the tank and not race fuel. On realising the error, they drain the tank and refill. But neglected to do the hoses (big diameter), filter (huge) or rail and fired it up. The thing worked but the pall of smoke caused such a frightening that the fire marshal's shut the track as they thought there was a pit fire! Laughing stock now is that team! Curve, Offal
-
"This to be in place by the end of the decade" Wow. This lot work really fast. Sounds like "let's pass this hot potato to the next lot". Or, "unless we tax everyone even more to hide this statement, the voters will forget another promise we cannot make!"
-
Personally, neither have I, even further, I think everyone should have their dna recorded and stored for used in detection of a crime too. But, there is a section of the community believe that carrying an ID, is against their rights to anonymity!
-
I see that Two Tier is going to introduce compulsory ID cards in the near future to stop illegal immigration and workers etc. What a joke, they haven't the stones to do this!
-
Off to machine show in Newark again, big show with lots to see and plenty of folk to talk too! It rained yesterday so I came away early - taking brolly today! Les, thanks for the kind words, irons in the fire etc...... Yesterday, I really meant household jobs!😂🤣😂 Off to watch rugby at Doncaster tomorrow and was looking forward to beers in the stands but bonus daughter fell of her horse yesterday and broke her ankle! Looking to change tickets to seats now! Ova, Run, Doubt!

Morning Team. Off to Groundworx at Newark after sending out a summary of my experiences at GreenMech. After 27 years there, I've a load of experiences in different scenarios but a shite CV. Sounds and looks like a decent day weather wise but I did get told that the weekend could be wild. Toy car got the MOT, but it was suggested that I remove the bulbs from the ABS and Airbag warning lights and take away the black tape that covers them! Be good today folks. Wry, Tup, Mice, Treat.
-
RIP Dickie Bird. Cricket umpire. 91, not a bad innings.
-
Tracking says tyres are here, so get them fitted and collect MOT, If not, I got to pay twice and get it retested! I pity Paul at the garage. He can only charge £54 for an MOT and some take over an hour and the garage up the road charge £95 an hour for labour and Mark up the parts too!
-
Awake and thinking of what jobs to do! Tom's birthday today so offered to take him out but he would rather stop in and have sosige and mash, but may go to pub for a couple with him. Hope tyres for Focus get here to get the MOT finalised too. Glossing stair bits maybe too? Machinery show at Newark? Hmmm. Tay, Lam, Maid.
-
Morning Team! Awake and got a list of stuff I need to do this week and already changed the plan. Was going to old folks but then remembered that it is Tom's birthday so will delay visit. He is off drag racing in the states again soon so present will just be a wedge of yankie cash! Have a good week and do it safely! Wooden, Emma, Knee.

Decent lie in doing the crossword etc, couple of diy type jobs to be done. Booked a Crete holiday for next August and thinking of what I need to do with trip to old folk in Devon. Truly awful rain storm yesterday evening so didn't get to the Brewshed! Enjoy your Sunday! Warren, Peas.
