The broad beans haven't done well - put in too late with all the hot wearther we've been having here. The driest for 100 years or so.Quote:

It is looking very untidy, as the grass has grown quite big, but I'll be strimming it this weekend hopefully.

My wife's brought on the aubergines and courgettes. We've also got cabbage and lettuce to go in, so we've got lots nstead. Pity about the broad beans. They're great young and tender in a salad.Quote:

Yes, unfortunately a lady has to keep her head about her, check for phone numbers and pictures before you give your heart; men are just far too clever and unlike women, they stick together.Quote:

I don't know where it started, but for years, every summer one class at least will be told by the teacher to come here and discuss some aspect of 1984 or Animal Farm.Quote:

I am always surprised when I see the creole ladies down our way boiling down all these nasty animal parts, putting tons of hot sauce in a pot and then, would you believe it, by the end of the day a glorious smell and glaze at the bottom of the pot and meat that falls off the bone.Quote:

I have to get over there and check all this out; I must admit, I am quite ashamed of myself, I never even look at literature now that I am on a literature forum.Quote:

All her own work, on a 6-lb test line, the fish weighing about 4 pounds. It's a kahawai by its local name, but internationally, it'd be called a sea trout, because they fight just like a trout, leaping out of the water and going on huge runs.
Her arms were a bit tired at the end of it, but a superb catch, eaten for dinner in a kahawai and spinach quiche!
The playhouse has been taken down as we're going to move. Just waiting for the right house.
:lol:Quote:

She can half fish though! You shoulda seen her - reeling in, letting it run; just like an old pro. She got a bigger fish as well, and that's a very small set she's using. A+
Fantastic!
Ivy cottage is being used by the old Guy next to me. He asked me if he could keep his tools there, and that's no problem. THE Shed is way big enough for our needs.Quote:

The runner beans my wife has grown are big and healthy. The next job is to fill a raised bed for some rather nice aubergine pants my wife has raised.
I strimmed the plot today with the association's petrol mower. It leaves your hands popping inside with the vibrations. It makes it look neater though.
I'm off work for the week after next, so hopefully I'll be able to catch up then.
That's a dance I can do - sitting in a row on the floor and swaying back and forth. The only problem in the old days was the spilt beer and broken glass on the dancefloor.Quote:

These are puzzleing times.

I've got an ad for fungal nails and Tatton garden show. One makes sense whilst the other...perhaps Google's psychic. Are you taking an unexpected trip to Doncaster Mick? It would be unexpected as no-one would plan to go there.
Nope! nor Iceland. It's not an advert for anything though, just the words "Doncaster Borough Council" and a crest, nothing else.
The only thing I can think of, is that they are one of those authorities who put their (our) money in a high intrest account in a certain Icelandic bank, and lost it all. Google remembers all!
Or perhaps they wanted to advertise, but had nothing to show off in it.Quote:

Parker's setting up rounds all round!
A worthy dream. I just had a vino vision of Claudette Colbert. Gibbon's had it all wrong, I tell you it was Claudette that brought down the Empire! (see below)Quote:

Gilliat, I don't know how you find these clips. Ms. Colbert certainly had it in spades - before "it" had been invented.
Meanwhile, the imaginary afair with the Dutchess Of Cambridge is not going well. My dreams have returned to the usual- walking down the Highstreet without any trousers on- sort of thing.
That clip had a lot of passing Yorkshiremen in it - you could hear them all passing going, "ey up, ey up". I always suspected that we had an integral part in the Empire and Hollywood.Quote:

Ah, the princess. I think you should tell Mrs P that you were dreaming about Kate and it was just terrible, she wasn't air brushed in the dream and all of her old acne scars and white heads were showing; so you looked down the isle and a beautiful creature came walking toward you and when you woke up...there she was.Quote:

I'm completely bewildered by that video. I like the tune too, though I've never heard it before.
Keep the wierd vids coming Gilliatt.
Nice picture of your boy. It's a great thing to be able to make music.
By the way, the "Serious Discussions" thread is becoming a little serious. I see you chaps are keeping out of it. I had a little tinker, but it's a bit pointless I realise. I'd not dipped into the Mozart thread, and so I didn't know what to expect. I'll be joining you chaps in the members only bar later.
I'll bet you never catch colds, do you? My husband smoked 5 packs a day, never caught a cold. Viruses hate smoky breath, or maybe the lining along the throat is all callouses...Quote:

Yes, young Gilliatt is quite adorable...talent too, take some of Gilliatts dna too Parker...
You don't say...I have to get over there! Every time I've been they're discussing the same stuff they were 3 years ago. Speking of profound discussions, where is our Jocky....and why hasn't Mark come back to tell us a joke?Quote:

Every so often I'll drop a response on the porch light it on fire then run. When it comes to M****t (I can't even bring myself to say the name), I'm quite satisfied that I settled that issue two years ago back in Dumas at the "Dreary Beery"Quote:
