I'm not trying to impress anymore; but the blows seem to have more effect than they once did.
I don't know if this bloke would have even noticed if a pick axe went through the side of his head...
The weather gods have forsaken us all this year; we had a few breezy days and I thought we might have an early autum; but it's back to the high 90's
and they're warning us there is a stomach virus in our beaches...
Right you are; and the strings vibrate more...Tell Parker to give him an extra lash for me...
Can you manage a few low humidity days in florida while you're at it..
Yep, though gravity is causing the valleys to deepen...![]()
Jesus, there are a lot of people like that in the world.
Lovely!
I must say, I've always wondered why USA built their retirement state in the middle of a tropical swamp. Helps weed out the sick, I guess.
I'll have a go, but I'm struggling with some persistent rain here right now!
I think I called Mick's over to NZ.
Has it stopped raining yet??
Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

Ahhhh - a British summer. Isn't Yorkshire wonderful!

One of those virgins must have lied! Crikey, she was only 43 and three kids, but she swore she was a virgin.
Righto. Instead of messing about with these ancient pre-Druid remedies, today being Sunday, I'm holding a full-on, Dennis Wheatley-style Black Mass.
That rain will be gone by Monday morning GMT, and then no more than 5 mm before Friday afternoon.

Well I sneaked half the silage in between downpours, the rest is lying in the field quietly composting.
However Athiest's intercession may be working, there is fine weather on the way (honestly). He must know a powerful Diety to vanquish the August Bank Holiday Rain Sprite, wno has held sway in these parts since time immemorial.
I think he's swayed a bit further south of you - it's raining sideways here, although I don't have to worry about silage. Hope you get it sorted!

I'd come up and give you a hand but I've forgotten where I put my smock and gaiters. I've mislaid my pitchfork a well.

Dafydd: Is that a Ruddy Duck you have there?
Brian: Dapper as ever, One dosn't always dress for silage time, an informal lounge suit will suffice.
Jocky: You betcha!
No, Mick, the ruddy duck's a Mandarin. I'm fattening it up, then it's destined for the old orange sauce. Parker has an excellent recipe. Best served with a decent Claret, they tell me.

I'm sure that Parker will recommend a good Burgundy which is the usual wine for wildfowl but is not recommended for a Big Mac and fries. One would hope that, should you invite Prendrelemick to partake of the duck a l'orange, he will not cause embarrassment by asking Parker for a bottle of Newkie.![]()
