Good to have you back, matey. Amazing what goes round and round in our tubes. Ever had stones?

One of the judges with whom I worked often came in and asked if he could borrow my sellotape.Pontius Navigator wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 5:28 pmSome also confuse it with 'give' as in, 'can I borrow some sugar?'
Or toilet roll, as if they will bring it back.

Welcome back HF, good to hear that you and your kidney friend are both on the road to recovery.

... and Jim, from his usual place at the end of the queue, adds delight at the return of our old mate.
Don't forget Friday tomorrow.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV
It is with the greatest of pleasure that I announce this to be
FRIDAY
I can rest easy now. Back to bed after a cup of tea and some cheese and crackers.
By the way, JIm, how did your procedure go the other day ?

Welcome back HF. Happy to see you again and make the Friday announcement. My wishes for a good quick and painless visit to the hospital this morning.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV
Great news HF, and don't do it again
We wanted to take the boat out this morning as it is a great day for it but too many hippos around. Not very relaxing spending all the time on hippo watch. Then one goes down and you have to guess where it is going to pop up. Or, in the case of our attack where it is going to leap up and try to destroy the vessel.
Friday; fruit and banana watering day. One of the coppers here the other day wanted to pick lemons. He would have taken a barrel load. Mrs Ex-Ascot gave him two.

Just went out to move wife's sculptures away from pine tree to be cut. Tramontana blowing, then hailstorm. This is mid-May in Spain. We had stove lit last night, still leccy blankets in use on bed.

Excellent news HF. Something of a trauma for sure, but those in charge seem to know what they're doing. If only governments were run as efficiently...

Mum visiting at lunchtime; we may even feed her. However, we're also on childminding standby as our daughter might have to take one of her cats to the vet. The cat is MtMM's sister.

I can answer that, without HF the week would only be six days long and we wouldn't know when to prepare for the weekend.CharlieOneSix wrote: ↑Fri May 14, 2021 9:16 amGood to see you back HF. What would Friday's be without your confirmation of the day!

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV
Smoooooooth. Still a bit of blood in the jolly old whatsit, and it's a bit hurty from time to time, but I was able to be down at church for 5 hours today without needing to gallop to the loo.
I'd called in an elfin safety inspector and he was, let's say, thorough, and I was delighted to hear him say that we'd got nearly everything right, we're legal, and we just need to tweak a few things.... well, that's until his report arrives.
Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV
Good to hear you are OK HF!
