If you have clothes you haven't really worn you must have been a bit of a dandy in the past. I have to admit to having worn all of mine regularly, though my red weskit with the shiny back got a few looks askance when I wore it around school! The...

Living in the Montagne Noire, so called because the mountain sides are covered in Oak trees, or pines, more recently. We do worry a bit about fires. In all the time we have holidayed here and since then lived here 6 months of the year, there have...

Yes it is so easy with tap water, not sure those with it, most people, realise the mindset you develop when its in short supply. Your deliveries don't sound too bad, we get less water than you for more - 10m3 for €160 and that's last years price...

I know exactly what you mean. The jackets fit really well, but the trews are a bit "higher-octave-tight". But I live in hope of the resurrection of my former self. ;) One of the jackets is a lovely dark (almost towards brown) green and it is so...

So as it isn't too hot I have been out with the big weedwhacker/mulcher. Running better since its service. Did one tank, came in, about to go out again. I think I must be the only person for miles around cutting grass/weeds as they have all...

Have to say I am a bit jealous in that any clothes I wore before retirement and a little while after I could no longer get into, except for shirts and sweaters. Jackets would not button up and trews wouldn't get anywhere near fastening. The diff...

How did you know? LOL

Flares and wide lapels? Love it!!🤣🤣🤣

Suns come out again. Not so hot but still flippin sweating. :(

we are on 43. 46 north.

Oh gosh and gawd-blimey. In prep for the incoming cuckoo family I have been forced to go through the wardrobes in the "other bedrooms" of my house to clear them.I have found 3 or 4 really nice 2-piece nice suits. Now I may never ever NEED a suit...

OK Benjamin Button. :)

We must be on the same geographical line only 22deg so very nice

Getting younger? It’s not so bad once you get used to it 🤪

Morning All. :D A damp day so far with a light misty rain. I have nadgered meself somehow. Right knee, left arm and my neck...all sore. I hate getting old, but it is still better than the alternative. ;) Have a great day!

So shop keepers have to change the way thay do thing's to accommodate shop lifters ( thieves ) !! Could not make that up , but good shoes are expensive now so the police are cutting back on the amount of re-soleing thay do

Thinking of upgrading my house alarm to Texecom Premier Elite 24 because it has an optional interface allowing you to connect yer alarm to wifi or ethernet. A phone app can be used to remotely set, unset and monitor the alarm via the internet. I...

How does that work for the pound shop.

Difference between prawns & chicken......once swims in water the other is full of water... The other thing is one cant cross the road. 🤣 🤣

I woke up early this morning, as usual, and could swear I smelled burning. Not funny at all.

You do get complacent when you have water on tap, we spent 5k on drilling 10yrs ago but no luck ,the veggies just get enough to keep them going till the next rain August is supposed to be a wet month for us but not so far Thursday is forcast...

Its v hot here at mo. but we had a wet winter and the well's held out amazingly this year. Its on a timer so it runs at the same time every day and there's a level control so that the pump can't run dry, which ever turns it off first. In the...

Morning All. :D Kids go back to their parent today. :) Sunny & bright here. :) Have a lovely day. :D
