Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Morning folks. Overcast and dripping a bit. Our friend's jet was early in from JNB as usual yesterday. Off to Kwara camp with her tomorrow.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Morning folks. Sunny and breezy. We have to pick up our house guest from the JNB-MUB flight after lunch. It is usually a few minutes early so today it will be late.

Now we have a leaking irrigation system. Plumber is away but can come here next week.

Re: USS Nimitz

There is the question of should they have launched those jets in that sea state. They do no seem to have seen much action so why take the risk?

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Morning folks. Blue sky cooling wind. The gardener is driving me crazy. I want everything spot on for our guest arriving tomorrow. He is just messing about instead of attending to detail. I swear I am going to kill him.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

The night sky here is amazing, absolutely no light pollution. It is quite mind blowing thinking about what is out there. So far we can see or detect up to 46 billion light years away. That is a long way. There is no way there can't be intelligent life form out there. Even if it is just to the averag...

Re: Friday Jokes

Just heard a true amusing story which I hadn't heard before. Our Late HMQ's car broke down on the Sandringham estate. She walked to one of the cottages to phone Sandringham House to get rescued. She couldn't remember the number so phoned directory enquires. They wouldn't give her the number because ...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Morning folks. Sun. We did have a little strip of water left in front of us but that has gone now. Largeish pools both up and down river but very shallow looking at the cattle crossing. We have a lady coming to stay for a couple of weeks on Wednesday. Always a good thing to force you into doing litt...

Ex-A fortunately Mrs Ex-Ascot is among the calmest ladies I know so she knew what to do.
Yes well, she first presented it with a door mat to climb out on, it got under it. She then tried a towel. It got under it. Being scooped out with a dustbin lid worked.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Morning folks. Broken Cu. Monthly rubbish run to the cage in the village. Hope it's not full as you have to try to throw it on top. Then the safari camp bar.

Mrs Ex-Ascot had a large monitor lizard in her bath in the safari bathroom yesterday. Took 15 mins to extract it.

Tea leaves from over twenty separate places across Africa and India all end up in Harrogate in Yorkshire and is then expertly blended – hence it's called Yorkshire Tea.

Hope you recover soon RiS. The raki is the best bet.

Our very own Banksy at work at the safari camp. He signs his murals 'Prince'. This was commissioned so guests can take photos in front of it pointing out where they have been. A fair bit of talent there. He is ridiculously cheap.
