Another pointless thread

I hope the kettle went on straight after closing the door

Or a bottle was opened....

Did someone mention a drink? make mine a triple.

Grandsons have finally gone to sleep. We agreed to have them so their parents could have a dirty weekend away, then oldest son announced he was coming to stay too. Youngest son turned up unexpectedly just after the kids were in bed, as went up and got them all worked up again, and then left again . It has taken nearly 2 hours to get them calmed down and asleep.
Hopefully the plus side is that they don't wake us up at silly o'clock tomorrow morning. They have been threatened with death if they disturb their uncle in the next room to them!

Late tomorrow afternoon the miscreant parents return and join us for Sunday dinner. Whether I will be sober enough to cook it remains to be seen.

Exercise in pointlessness. Posting to, viewing, and voting on the images in the Pentax Gallery.

Taken me a few weeks but twenty 2.4M x 1.2M Celotex panels later, my loft is now fully skinned internally. Looks like a foil clad studio..........

Went to the Salvation Army thrift store yesterday: Manfrotto 055 with 3130 fluid head.
No shortage of tripods at my place, but, for $3.50? OK.

Should that not be in the "Leads to Deals Forum"

It should be in the post! .......... to me ........ in exchange for some highly valued beer

That's an incredible bargain for an excellent tripod.

Either the head or the legs would be a worth over 10 times that on their own! I hope you donated the change to them.

Brings to mind the expression "If he fell in a pile of poo, he'd come up holding a gold watch"

HG would have been happy this morning if he were here. Free firewood.

A tree blew down in the night, landed on the ridge of the neighbours garage. A bit of damage but hopefully not too serious. Because the tree was in the back of the houses, and belonged to one of the terrace of houses behind us they had to get a crane in to carry it over into our street between my house and the neighbours, which was a bit heart-stopping. Anyway they then sliced the tree up and two neighbours have got themselves some firewood for next year once it has dried out.

I am now eyeing the lone ash tree left behind, and hoping it can withstand a few more storms, since it will land on our dining room if it goes. The owners refuse to maintain the beast, and we get all the hassle from it.

I can't believe this thread is still going, are you lot trying to break the forum?

I think the posts have slowed down a lot but the posts are still as pointless as the first post.

..and Gwyn took us back to the wood pile and the start
