Coombe Barton Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Last of the turkey constructed as a winter soup with dumplings last night. Leftovers for lunch today, and a couple of meal sized portions frozen. Shopping done until next year, coal fetched, new duvet cover acquired, and the only major thing I have to do, since the cooker was cleaned yesterday, is to cut up some logs. HOWEVER before Christmas she tidied up, and the large toolbox containing the bow saw is right at the back. "It was big so it went to the back" is not really what I wanted to hear. Neither is "Mind you put it back again." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium southern42 Posted December 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 30, 2014 Morning All, Tad frosty in these parts while walking the dog this morning.

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted December 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 30, 2014 Alison has three sisters and one of them is a policewoman. No information regarding their cleanliness standards! I better not tell you the French slang name for a policewoman then. If my daughter heard it she'd kill me.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 30, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 30, 2014 Last of the Christmas Dinner pork converted into lunch time sarnies with the remains put out for the eagles red kites only one has swooped so far and I think he's made off to his favourite tree just down the road however a couple of magpies are also having a dib. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebottle Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 . . . . . . . . Trisonic's tale of rape followed by marriage is a trifle unusual, I suspect. Most rape victims would be more inclined to offer their assailant a small surgical operation with a pair of rusty scissors! . . . . . . . . We would all like to know exactly what happened at Dunbar Castle on the 24th April 1567. I suggest that you read a little about it then decide who you want to believe. That's what most people do.

Ian Abel Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Morning - I nearly decided NOT to retrieve the newspaper from the front door step today! -24 at that point <bbbrrrr> up to -22 now You really don't "get" what a CLEAR sky is, until you look outside with the temperatures that low and not a cloud in sight! It's also really, REALLY bright right now, amazing what a difference the cold makes once it has extracted the last remaining moisture from the air! Not much else to report, Jemma returned for her final few days based out of LA yesterday, and work is pretty slow given most of the folks I'd be dealing with at most clients seem to have decided it's not worth working between Christmas and the New Year, Mrs off to "play" with a great-niece for the day... Stay warm, I'm bloody sure I'm going to - especially as they're predicting some light breeze later today that will push the wind-chills downwards more, then again the expected high IS going to get to the dizzying heights of -16 <woo hoo>.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Donw Posted December 30, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 30, 2014 My consultant surgeon from Musgrove categorically confirmed to me that 'they' will ' NOT ' be doing any more operations on eyes . Marion sees one of their specialists for eye pressure. Just before the news broke he had suggested laser surgery to reduce the pressure. She was rather glad to have declined.

RMweb Premium AndyB Posted December 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 30, 2014 This afternoon I have been finding and cataloguing books and magazines. Doesn't it take a long time There's a lot! Where the devil am I going to put them? I find turfing out railway mags quite cathartic. Makes the bin quite heavy after a purge though! My rational is that I'm unlikely to be able to find any particular article in a massive stack of mags, editors often repeat "how to" features every year or so, new products surpass old ones so what's the point in keeping mags which have a lot of product review content. A good clear out often seems to clear the mind and make new modelling projects possible. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted December 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 30, 2014 Evening. Another busy day at work, not really looking forward to stocktaking tomorrow but at least the busyness of the last two days means there is less to count...... Too much going on above to mention everyone's posts, interesting day though. 40k miles from a car to ensure reliability doesn't seem a lot now, does it? Both our cars won't see 100k again, the Picasso is heading for 130k, and no, it doesn't go wrong. The 'reliable' Flawed Foci does though..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
