Bet that was dramatic.

Same here Stephen!

My turn to be jealous! I gave up trying to witness celestial shows, it's great when you see something by chance but it seems whenever there's an event the Borders is cloudy!

Morning all. Gusty wind and rain battering off the windows here, warm though. Day off today so.at least I'll be avoiding it. Have a good one folks.

Someone said earlier it reminds them of "that awkward moment, after weeks in their bedroom practicing, your teenage daughter proudly shows you what she's choreographed and you wonder if she's having a fit and when the dancing actually starts". For me the funnier bit was an interview later where the Australian team defended her by sending out the Chef de Mission to say she deserves credit for having a go.

Dearly beloved, as we gather here today, some more wearily than others, the sense resides within me that the good Lord, our Father in Heaven, would wish us to show understanding to our fellow man. Indeed, when we consider Ephesians 4:32, it would seem incumbent upon us to make allowance for the vagaries of our fellow travellers through life's difficulties. It is most appropriate, on the day that our Lord gave us his creation, we should lift his sentiment high above our heads and show others by example, the good and righteous path. Amen. Donations will be received in the vestry following the service, and I trust I'll see you all on Wednesday afternoon for the charity spelling bee marathon.

Sounds lovely peds, enjoy your time with them.

Feeling a bit of pressure this morning. Have the sense it's got to be a decent result to keep morale up, but then Navvy opens with a two! Pre wordle nerves are building.

Morning all. Seems no time since I first picked up William from nursery. His mum (a good friend and my boss at the time) had a meeting go on too long and I went to get him. Was buzzed through the main door and found myself in an 'airlock' between two doors where I was informed I'd stay until they could speak to her and confirm I was meant to take the child. I was there a while, William waving through the window "are we going to the river Doug?", "can we get ice cream". Eventually I was released, got him, then his big sister, then we got ice cream and water pistols and went to the river. Yesterday he gave me a run in his car, we picked up a sofa with the trailer for his new flat, and he told me about his electrical engineering apprenticeship. Was one of those days when you realise how much time has got behind you. Kayaking undecided as yet. She's cooking a big breakfast for some friends and we'll see how we feel later. Have a good one folks.

Morning all. Been another good week. Got a sofa to collect with the trailer later for my mate's son, otherwise not much planned. Tomorrow might be a day out on the water as the oh is making kayaking picnic noises again, that'd be nice! Have a good one folks.

It's in the east wing and only the staff food is prepared there, all his refreshments come from the gallery kitchen downstairs. If you ever need someone to service the dumb waiter, I know a guy.

Thanks Mark, excellent support I'm getting from my team. Traitor. Peter, I'm relying on you now.

Avoided a hat trick of failure at least, it's little comfort. Wordle 1,147 6/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 🟩⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟩⬜⬜🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

No trunks with me but if required I can sit in your old mog til it passes! Have a good one folks.

You're welcome Mark, I'll do your on-boarding session later but you look like you'll be a great addition. Most important thing is we aim to keep Mick's ego inflated by ensuring we are always worse than him. Good to have you involved.

Ah bugger, I'm thinking of retirement, past it. Wordle 1,146 X/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩

Morning all. 2nd day on a road job, climbing was done yesterday so a few fells left to do and get it all picked up. Better remember a coat as it's to be wet this afternoon, boo. Have a good one folks.

There was a thread on here a while back about those guys wasn't there? Tidy bang bus or something?

If you're using a chainsaw they'll need to be protective boots. As for which, it's subjective really, cheap ones I had were Treehog, they lasted a year. Best approach is go to a dealer and try them on. Most important point I think when looking is a deep heel, you want a ledge for spikes to sit in when you're wearing them.

👍 I just can't understand why the time period or a geographical spread matters as to how many victims are attributed to an event.
