    There was a grand gathering of engines close to us at the weekend and a good dozen passed our place. One engine even had the cheek to require a stop and roadside lubrication before continuing. The really classic bit was the Invicta steam roller which started off at the traffic lights on green and was the only vehicle to get across by the time the lights changed back to red.
    Bless! Fucking basted, if I had been behind it I would have fed the driver into his own fire box. Grrrrr.

    Go with the flow. I am sure you can bluff your way out of any difficult situations.

    Just be thankful that the description "dilapidated" was applied only to the shed. You could have been on the skip alongside it while a new "foundation" is prepared for YOUR successor.

    Be happy that you are being permitted to stamp your personality on a new shed. (Or are you? Has she chosen curtains for it yet?).

    Not posted on here for a while, no shed related news,
    However.....
    This weekend sees the repair of the lower edge of the doors being a priority task,
    Looks like it will be cut the damaged edge away and replace with s new panel,
    Positive side will be an excuse to paint the doors, I'm thinking Conker Brown gloss?

    Brown!

    Have you no imagination? We don't need to hide under camouflage anymore.

    Go for orange, or ultramarine, or a nice jazzy pink, or even candy stripes.

    You will have less difficulty identifying your place of residence when you return from a confusing trip away.

    Ask The Iron Duke - he is the resident expert (although he will probably recommend Petter Green).

    In my defence I'd like to raise two points,
    Firstly it would match the window frames, facia boards and gutters of the permanent brick building nearby

    and secondly, perhaps more importantly
    due to recently painted the items above I've got loads of the stuff?

    Conker brown!
    I wish I had the wossname to wax lyrical over conker brown.
    Vocabulary. Thats the word.
    The shiny brown of a new conker, straight out of the shell, is one of God's wondrous beautiful sights.

    I may build a new sh*d entirely from conkers.
    I could die happy.
    But I'm not going to die until I've buried you lot.


    Don't take it personal like. I just want to live forever.So far, so good.

    Today I had a problem with a Tortoise called Johnathon, who laid nine eggs. Obviously not fertilised. Not sure if he's a pouff, or wrongly named. It's all a worry.
    Anyway, I'll make an omlette and see how it goes.
    Today I've been drinking mainly cider, followed by strong ale.
    How does that grab you?
    I don't care.

    Aah tortoise eggs slowly simmering on the shed hexi, marinating in cider and strong ale, with the merest touch of garlic puree, the mouth waters at the thought, mind you with wifey away marmalade and cheese butties are getting boring, can i come over for the next batch of eggs? i will dig out my plastic spoon from the "bound to come in useful someday box" and bring a quart of homebrew along.

    Something caught my eye on a wander through other freds. Spooks infiltrated someones site and substituted cupcake recipes for bombmaking recipes.
    Hmm.
    Have we been infiltrated? Are Bno and the Reverend Modes moles? Or even voles? Should we know? Do we need to know?
    Does anyone care? It's all a worry. Until opening time anyway.
    (Anyone got a recipe for moles. Or voles?)
