Whatever you do, don't forget your breathing tube if you go for one of the hardcore options.

No thanks, each to their own though. I had a mate growing up who was partial to a slab of cheddar, liberally slathered in butter and then coated with granulated sugar.

Clocks? That sounds interesting, worthy of some elaboration. Maybe one for the pottering chat.

Nice one. Hope you've not been taking tips from your mate though?!

I'd be looking at army surplus Goretex jackets. Probably tougher than anything costing a couple of hundred quid.

Premium lightweight pottering here today. Though it was fairly inevitable with a 5 year old shadow in tow all day due to a forced day off to cover another bloody school teacher training day. (There's a very generous handful every year now. I'm sure we barely had any back in the day. It grates). Leisurely breakfast followed by finishing off a jigsaw that was too hard for the lad. One job on the list was to repair a leak on an outhouse roof. It was raining this morning so I contented myself with climbing up and looking at it, poking it and thinking about it some more! No need to actually do any work today I told myself, that can wait for the weekend. Next job was to free up seized wheel bearings on his scooter. Whilst doing that he wanted to make a mallet. That necessitated clearing the inaccessible workbench. Which unearthed a little beauty that I picked up on a second hand stall months ago. That obviously then had to be cleaned up and lightly fettled. Changing the wiper blades on the van led to messing around trying to sort the dodgy cd player. A mix of mortar for various little masonry jobs around the place and then time for dinner. Plus a load of other semi-productive fly shit jobs along the way. Four pints of tea. Two mugs of coffee. Zero Stellas.

Ummm. For me that doesn't quite cut it, as a justification for Israel's actions. Even if they did hold fair and free elections in Gaza. Do they even allow women and children to vote?

Been there, done that! Annoying.

The casualty ratio says it all really; it's currently running at ~28:1. Of those 42000 thousand Gazan dead it's fairly easy to guess the proportion of Hamas fighters versus innocent women and children. Another depressing stat is the number of children lucky enough to survive that will grow up to be Hamas fighters of the future. (Maybe that's why Netanyahi seems to be trying to achieve all our genocide). Casualties of the Israel–Hamas war - Wikipedia EN.M.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

So, err, how did you approach this? From behind presumably. How very Welsh.

That's answered that then. Great pictures, thanks.

So it seems. Though I don't recall ever seeing it used in Cornwall. The English must have beaten the habit out of them.

Catch 22 ......

I seem to remember seeing it used on the fields in Brittany as well as a kid.

Something I've always wondered about: what about the salt on or in seaweed? Do you have to rinse it before you use it?

Delightful. That beats the normal arse shaped tomatoes and suchlike.
