I'll be behind you in the queue no doubt

It was all tongue in cheek Bob, posted off the day it came, I agree with all you say.

It does have small traces of green on the younger wood, like staining, so quite possibly just starting to establish. Suppose the square shape is down to the horse but I can't really picture it.

I didn't think reaching the qualifying age to join this esteemed thread would change anything much. I hadn't accounted for the NHS. It seems I've gone to the top of their red watch list now I've become a doddering half wit. Never had so much communication before. These days, amongst other things I can have a plethora of injections to see me through the next 12months of dotage, they're keen as well to receive a tiny little bit of shit on a stick so they can get to know me very intimately, they fancy that every two years, at least until such times I'm too old to be viable. Talking of very intimate, I guess I've to look forward to the next time I visit the GP when no doubt I'll suffer the indignation of a gent, larger than me (don't know why but him being bigger than me has a huge psychological impact), will engage in a pseudo sexual act, and let's be honest that's exactly what it is, without so much as buying me a drink or purveying suitable lighting for the occasion. But I'm not letting it get me down, I'm hanging on to the fact the physio once said I "wasn't doing too bad, considering".

Saw this at the base of an Oak today, it really stood out. Can't decide if the moss isn't growing there because of the different surface texture (it's been nibbled by horses historically) or if something has eaten the moss from that area. Unusually square I thought for nature. Ideas welcome.

Leylandii is just grand you see, no bugger wants it so it's cheap for me.

Morning all. Strange happenings this morning, this thread isn't showing on the website for me, I thought you'd all buggered off on a jolly without me! But I've found you hiding, eventually. Had to get here secretly via a notification from the other day. Anyway, physio this morning then pick up my top handle from the dealers, again. Think this is the fourth or fifth time they've had it for an impulse line issue. Last time they put on an upgraded part from husqvarna to solve the problem. This time he said he'd create a fix himself, fingers crossed! Have a good one folks.

Sounds like a collie that gets enough engagement and exercise outwith work hours.

Me, Alex, lots of us. (Sorry Ted, I'm taking the p.)

Who's what?

No, he said he's UNDER SEVENTY!

Penny's what?

Poor Steve, he's basically playing whack-a-troll

Morning all. I see the TV people have all gone to stand on the coast or at the end of a pier again in order to tell people it's too dangerous to go out! We're not getting the brunt of it here but there's always the chance of call outs for a bit of interest. Have a good one folks.

Didn't post this morning as I told wordle to f off and went to work in a strop. But I think it's only right to confess my worst ever attempt, a dark day indeed. Wordle 1,265 X/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟨 🟨⬜🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟩🟩🟨

I'm quite convinced they went, three separate Apollo missions positioned mirrors on the moon's surface which they point a laser at from earth and measure the distance between. Still measuring. Also, Buzz Aldrin...

Happy birthday Pete, all the best.
