Hoots mon, ye hould see me toss ma caber laddie

No-one touches my bagpipes, they're supposed to sound terrible.

They left the hedgecutter out ready for you Jake.

How kind of you to offer Les, I'll be down in about 5hrs! Got so many eggs from looking after my mate's hens last week I'll be dining at home, a 4 egg omelette with cheese and tomato I reckon. You up to much today?

Sounds good, hope you didn't spend all your burger money yesterday!

Morning all. Feel for you Bob, your early start makes me feel like I wasn't up that early, thanks! In praise of my local dealer (Border Chainsaw). They've a turnaround of 4wks currently, but in a few days and an invoice for £3 something they've got my top handle running sweet, a joy to use again, thanks guys. Bright and frosty here. Have a good one folks.

Firstly I should mention Mick Dempsey, without whom wordle would be an enigma to me. I'd also like to thank the other half for her long term support while I have focused on my new found passion for wordle. I'm also grateful for the partial unemployment scenario I've put myself in which enables me to spend far too much time thinking about five letter words. But most of all I owe a debt of gratitude to our very own Steve Bullman for bringing to my attention the wonderous starting word that led to this personal victory on Wordle 1,040. And finally can I just say a special thanks to little Cassie who often keeps my feet warm during my thinking time. Thank you, I owe a debt of gratitude to you, one and all.

Morning all. Feeling lazy this morning. Been meeting some birds of an evening this week, they're quite excitable, take them some little gifts and they're all over me. Good layers too! This week I've mostly been eating, eggs!

It's just recently been laid, and my telling him he should've bought a roll-a-lawn without weeds in it didn't go down well.

He's done that every year since he laid turf Stere, but it's not giving the results he hopes for. Someone told him you have to dig the meadow grass out with its root but I think that's probably too much of a commitment for him. He'd prefer something really expensive and quite toxic that he can spend ten minutes spraying on and come out the next morning to perfection.

A robot would cut far too randomly for him, and It's little house would clutter up the perfect rectangle of grass.
