plantfit 7,659 Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 Anyroad to get back on topic, today I went to the nearest petrol station (Hykeham A46) to fuel up the car, had a coffee when I got back then decided to wash the car, something therapeutic about washing the car, ran out of car shampoo so had to use next best thing which was Radox Bath Soak, I now have a very relaxed car, the monthly local magazines were delivered to me when I was doing the car and looking at the local weather forecast for tomorrow (I usually deliver the mags on a Saturday) it said heavy rain/showers so decided to deliver them today, 45 copies the other end of the village 40 minutes from leaving home to getting back, quickest I ever done it, after that I made myself a lovey, tasty cheese burger on a toasted bun mmmmm, about it really apart from do Mrs P a bowl of soup with herb and sea salt croutons (whatever they are), hope you've all enjoyed the day, Rog Now where's them bloody cats 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MelissaJKelly 2,124 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Glad it's the weekend. I'm off for a bottomless brunch at Pitcher and Piano today with my old work friends. Thoroughly looking forward to it. Hoping it stays dry! 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,348 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Last time I was back in Nottingham we went to the Pitcher and Piano. I was very surprised with what it was like inside and I must say it is a better use of the building than what it was originally used for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,219 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Pubs certainly attract a larger ‘congregation’ than most churches these days. I only go to my local pub once a week for a ‘religious experience’. I did put £14.70 into the collection. Part of that was giving unto others. A pint of beer is approaching the price of a bottle of communion wine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MRS B 546 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Ref unwanted cats in gardens has anyone tried one of these metal cat scarers ? I have them at the allotment and they seem to work ! I did test one on my cats and they ran off so worth a go. Amazon have them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,295 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 After 5 days of Man Flu I was well enough this morning for a 20 min ride and 20 min row on the indoor machines. Still congested but rowing soon clears it up. Re cats - oddly enough I like our 2 cats. Big Samson and sleek Panto. Big Samson is my mate and I protect him from Patch our Jack Russell. We spend a fortune on them in vet fees etc., in fact Panto cost us £1400 for hip surgery after he was run over. As long as we have them they will receive our care and attention - I just wish that we did not have them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is a place I always wanted to go to but never made it and we dont travel very far now. The train journey across Canada was the other one that I wanted to go on , so if this is on TV I always watch it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Years ago I could do it and remember posting pics of our dogs and our old MF tractor on various topics. The problem I have these days is that I only use my iPad and before I was using the PC.
