How's your day?

[PeverilPeril 3,300]

Another day working on grandsons garden. That's 6 full days work in the last 10 days - did 9 hours today. It sounds like hard work but I enjoy it. I just like being out doors. Now that I have no French fermette to look after I am landscaping next door's (grandsons) garden. Cleared what had become a wasteland (prev owner) and built 5 raised veg beds with brick paths in between and laid about 20 paving slabs for surrounding footpaths. Also built a patio with old quarry tiles. Looks lovely. Fishing tomorrow

Where do you get all that energy from, PP?

[DJ360 6,760]

I've been getting gradually more tired as this jaunt has gone on..

To be more accurate Boowul Old Folks On Tour have all adjusted to the pace.  There's no rush to do anything.

Going down for brekkie in a minute . 08:15 here.  Then a little last minute gift shopping and hit the beach.  I never normally burn in the Sun but got a bit sore on my nose yesterday. I suppose when I'm on my back it's a bit closer to the Sun.  May not get to the beach tomorrow as our flight is scheduled for 16:10.

We've had a fab time though.

Well deserved break! Hope the sunshine has given you a boost!

Greedy DJ360 took all our sun away. Its freezing cold here , rained all night and some places have snow. Only a few days ago we were enjoying sitting out in the sun and I got a bit of a tan, well a bit pink.

Glad you enjoyed it DJ, now we've got to wait until the sun returns

Ben look at my Avatar, I still wear a flat cap and love it. Would look a bit of a prat  in a topper. B.

[benjamin1945 16,282]

I wear one now and again Barrie,, very smart one that matches my crombie

[Beekay 5,261]

Got to admit it Ben, I live and die in mine. Birthday present from my sister in law and her husband. B.

[benjamin1945 16,282]

There's a photo of mine on here somewhere,, taken at a meet up in Bulwell in wetherspoons in 2014? 

   Think Chulla took it when i went fir a smoke,, lol

[carni 10,094]

Was that the hat we had a collection in while you were gone benj. It wasn't my idea .....honestly.

 

On second thoughts, I think the collection hat was a Crombie.

[benjamin1945 16,282]

Thats the one carni,,some collection 20p if i remember right,, lol,, what was the chap from Belpers name? He and his mrs were there,,

[carni 10,094]

Sorry benj, we have been trying to remember his name but it's gone. I don't know if you can remember but, I think we were there to meet up with him after he had been to hospital for a check up. He was always very concerned about getting the message over to you men about getting checked for Prostate Cancer, as there are no early symptoms. I'm off to bed now, I bet it will drive me crazy trying to remember his name???????

I notice that our old friend who was advising all men to have the PSA blood test a few years ago was ‘banned’ from Nottstalgia, think there was a bit of aggro but in fact he talked a lot of sense, what a shame he’s been excluded from this forum.  He’s only listed as a Guest since exclusion. He was from Belper, hope it’s ok.

Andy Charlesworth, Lizzie. A great character and a sad loss to NS.

[benjamin1945 16,282]

Thats the man fly,, yes a character,,liked him,, 

 

[FLY2 10,109]

Me too. Big Reds fan also.

[LizzieM 9,539]

I never met Andy Charlesworth but he seemed a real decent bloke.  Hopefully he recovered from his prostate problems.

And thats what happens when you give the power to delete posts and ban members to people who think some posts are directed at them personally, let the members have a vote on who gets banned,suspended or other, there's the odd one or two "in charge" or think they are who are killing this site.

Yes Andy Charlesworth did have constructive things to say and he was and probably still is a decent sort and the likes of him are missed all because of some trigger happy delete/ban/quote button pressers

Oh what a beautiful day the sun has returned at least here.

[nonnaB 4,913]

Still very ...cold though

[Beekay 5,261]

The smile on your Avatar always warms my day Nonna.  

[nonnaB 4,913]

What a compliment. But the photo is practically ancient at least 9 yrs ago. And time does age me. But thank you anyway.

I was cuddling my grand daughter.

[Compo 10,328]

Right....time to get my posterior in gear and get out into the garden to plant me tatties before the storm returns.........

[Stavertongirl 1,727]

Just had my tv stand delivered, a few days early well done Amazon! Going to do my chores and then get geared up to put it together. Description says all screws etc are in bags and marked with symbols and the reviews said it wasn’t too bad to put together. We will see later, will report on progress (will either be put together or in a heap in the back garden), wish me luck.
