Good to see you back LG see we told you you had been overdoing it.
I use to tell my mum act your age not your shoe size. She never listened.
Seriously good to see you back and on the mend. Now listen to the mem...

Great news Lynn, bet you're relieved.

Try having a Nanny Nap (or maybe a Granpa Nap) in the afternoon LG, it does work if you've been acting your shoe size for a few days, glad you're back on form and hope you find someone who can do the jobs needed and do them properly

But it seems so simple doesn't it, you're there, job to be done, you're feeling fine, do a few shovels or swing a few hammer blows, oh not quite right, few more, ah that's nearly done it, just one more blow...................and then it happens.

Been there, done that Best thing I find is to set a time limit, e.g. one hour or whatever seems reasonable, and do not go over that time. After all isn't it better a job takes a tad longer than you think it should but you are still around to see it finished instead of finishing it in record time and snuffing it on the spot.

Pleased you made it home o.k TW, shame about the soggy shavings though
LG, chuffed to bits to see you are still with us.... you be a good lad now and do what the Missus tells you...will make for an easier life all round Lol hope you find a suitable member of staff.
Hi ya Harvey, slow and steady..you are right, that's the way!! that's my excuse with the half stripped bannister Lol
just spent a bit on the phone to my aunty, haven't been on to the council yet as we had an epic natter Lol

Yes very relieved Harvey we can relax for two months now regards Gill.
Always tomorrow for the council griff.

i am hoping my other neighbour would have reported her...knowing her she will have dumped the lot back in their garden Lol

Lg I was thinking about you earlier and hey presto just like mister Ben there you are. Please take care. x

Raining again now Looked at the forecast and Thursday, which was dry and cold (I arranged to meet my friend because of that) it is now saying snow and sleet, so will be cancelling our Post Christmas lunch in that case, next Thursday it is saying dry and cold for the whole week, so will reschedule methinks.
I am hoping for a long dry, hot summer

Awwww that's a shame June fingers crossed you get to meet before Summer.
I was thinking the other day we better have a long hot Summer. No word of drought mentioned.
