Hopefully it will give you sleepless nights. My work is done.

I thought you were on your deathbed? Or was it a Lazurus job?
-
I can probably find a photo of myself doing just that in my glory days, if that is the way your mind works.

In France, starting today, we have to download a statement, print it off, a different copy for every time you leave the house. It has your name, date of birth, your address then a tick box section to state your reason for being out. Work, health visit, shopping or visiting an ageing relative. Gendarmes will be checking apparently. Fines of €38 then €131 if not paid on time if out without the statement. All well and good, Macron is doing something right. He was spurred on after seeing loads of folk wandering around Paris in the sunshine last weekend, not giving a stuff about contagion. No social gatherings but protests are allowed! The Yellow Vests were out in force at the weekend in Paris apparently. I worked yesterday locally, one French client then one Brit, asked them to stay out of the way, no hand shaking (next to impossible over here!) but everyone seems to understand that times have changed. Interesting times.

This to me is Springtime. Taken in our front flower beds.

Flowering pear in my back garden, not a brilliant shot, I'm afraid. Its gorgeous in Autumn with red leaves.

I was going to try and find an obscure black and white film in Serbo Croat, pretend I understood every slight nuance, then write a scathing review. Sod it , I'll go with Debbie does Dallas.

Don't think I'll be grinding these 62 poplar stumps out this Wednesday! A lot of these are a metre wide and 40cms high, just to give an idea.This is a riverside park 40kms from me, thought I'd better go for a look. Not stopped raining heavily for the last week. Ground is still saturated from the pre Christmas rain, only seem to have had a couple of dryish weeks in 4 months. Nothing like as bad in the UK but causing a bit of disruption.

Had the finger job in 2008, no problem. I nearly passed out 6 months ago when I was grinding stumps,felt pain in my nether regions,started sweating, had to get on the deck as I was going over. Put it down to my trousers being too tight, I am as you know, the fuller figured gentleman, felt a pillock in front of the client, trumped a couple of times, was ok then. Last week, same pain, bit of a job peeing, haven't fed properly without having to rush for the toilet. A few times it's been a photo finish. As to your other comment as to Messrs Lunn and Shepherd being concerned about my health, of course I haven't mentioned it to them. Vultures!

I've just registered with a new doctor, a woman, in my nearest town. I've been feeling ropey for the last 5 days, since my wife, daughter and grandson returned from a 6 day break to New York. I've told the doctor I need a prostate check as I've got pain "down below" to put it delicately. Anyhow, I intend to test the new doc's sense of humour . I shall wait until her hand, arm whatever is firmly inserted into my jacksie, then announce that I've been feeling rough since I returned from China last week. She will either withdraw said hand/arm clutching several metres of my guts, or run screaming for the door. We shall see.

Don't pay Mr Dempsey any up front commission. He did it with me. I ended up buying a shed in his garden.

Only if there's pictures and a section that I can colour in.

Surely the same must apply if the police pull in a couple of travellers with "tree surgeon" gear in the vehicle? Or is it just for the self righteous who never do wrong? How many times have we heard on here that the cops do sod all to stop and search wrong uns. One rule for everybody. If you've done nothing wrong why complain? Absolute bollocks.

Sorry, I must be thick, but I can't see the punch line in this joke.

Anyone use woodchip to dispose of dead bodies?

Christ Alive! Some of the nutters on here will be trying this out. I suspect a few mothers in law may suddenly go missing. -
Another "charming" example. This is explaining that someone swings either way, "il navigue sous vapeur et voile". Basically saying he cruises under steam and sail. How quaint. Also to admire a bird with large lungs. "Toute la monde est sur le balcon". Everybody is on the balcony. A bit more class than "Look at the tits on that!"
