Hello, after a decent night's sleep and some messing about with emails and a couple of last minute items for the Parish Magazine, I'm here at last. I received an email from Scarlett last week after posting that I thought people who knew more about running boards than us should be listened to, and th...

The same problems as with Sues. A plaque on all their houses!

I'm not allowed to access the Bull, As a 'guest' I'm not surprised, but a little surprised that I'm allowed to lurk in the Bull Upstairs and the Village Hall. Curiouser and curiouser. I saw this morning that Brian has begun posting there. He'll be back. OW is still posting in her usual gnomic fashio...

Since it is 1995 with a full service history, it may be a while before I can check through all the paperwork. My Skoda was supposed to have a new TC every 4 years and I had it done soon after I bought it, so the 7 year rule is a bit reassuring. Blunders bought it in 2012 (actually he swopped his hor...

Oh Good. The cats will look after her well. I don't mean physically, but emotionally really. Being home is very comforting and let's hope the the neuralgia dies down as quickly as it flared up. So you've met Grace in the flesh/camper. I've seen her at Meets. I bet Pearl was a gas or didn't she have ...

Since I think that banning of either of you or 3 Wells is unreasonable, I shall not be re registering on Angies. This I understand was Bowman's board until it became Angies. I shall stay on Peet's and here if that's OK. I'm not going to re register just to administer a blast that would get me banned...

I've had another look in the Bowman board. I don't actually like what they are doing to you EB, since you have only been trying to help. So there's that and I'm not entirely sure if it is safe yet to re register, so I'll hold off for a while longer. As for you, GLO I'm equally mystified. There's no ...

If it wasn't a sin, I would envy you Brian. It does make me think I'd like to do that sometime though. Canal cruises are wonderful as well. I've done at least 3. I'm coming out of my depression at the result of the election. It is all changing so quickly, that it would be foolish to stay down. I mus...

I've deleted my account with the Bowman board. I hope something replaces it but I doubt it. Love to 3 Wells, and I hope that the treatment is successful and that she can return to her lovely home soon. So sorry you were snared on a public footpath Spring Dragon. I always shift stuff over to the side...

You did say at first 'de-weed' your garden, but if they do painting, you could have your skirting boards and doors done, and maybe one or two might fancy paperhanging too. Once the gloss work has been done, that's a good start. I'm going to go and vote some time today, and will try and sleep a lot. ...

GLO, when I was working for a residential home in Birmingham, we had a group of youths on remand to work in the garden. The first time, their leader knew how to garden and directed them well, so the weeds disappeared and the things we wanted to keep remained. The next time we had them there was a di...

Why they can't say "I know I'll be busy until 11 so you can go and get stuff in before they arrive, I don't know.

I'm being a bit cheeky starting a new thread in the event of a bit of a cataclysmic bump of Sue's closing during the night. About time for those with a life that they couldn't quite get around to. If anyone arrives from there instead of Peets, Just a welcome. This place is gentle and meandering and ...

I've only done commercial flights, though I've often been tempted to try a balloon flight. One Bank Holiday weekend there are lots starting in the Welsh Mountains and going over to the Cotswolds. I'm no longer on the flight path, having moved down South to the Bristol Channel. If they want people to...

I could take the shingles. I've had the injection so they'd just shrivel up and go away almost straightaway. They can't do everyone but if you're 71 you can have it, or if your 79 going on 80 you can have it if you didn't have it at 71. It's only been offered for about 3 years. I'm going to the alte...

Hooray that you are home 3 Wells. I hope the pills work and you get plenty of rest and soon back to normal. Also lots of TLC from the animals and the black bull. Dropping back in and out, I'm fairly occupied and don't have much time, so if I vanish I haven't taken offence. Hello everyone, GLO, Brian...

The good wishes aren't just for Wellsy, but for you too. You've had a very anxious time. I came to the conclusion some time ago that the ever loving suffer just as much, only differently. But they have to try and look calm to reassure the other.

Me too. Love to Wellsy and a swift recovery.

I didn't think the polling booths were that easy to assemble and disassemble, but practice makes perfect, and the bits slot together more easily when they've been used a few times. Maybe a blow torch to warm them up a bit might help. A little one for creme brulee, nothing savage or WD40? Of course, ...

Good morning. Sorry, I haven't been in. No particular reason barring tiredness. I only went for a 3 hour meeting on Friday, followed by a walk, but I've been knocked out ever since. I'm glad you don't have to knock out too much this time Brian. What if some of your 'retiring' staff decide they want ...
