Another pointless thread

Are you back with us then Alan? Has the new toys rekindled your interest?

To be honest Barrie, I did seriously consider taking the cash settlement and just keeping it, but it didn't feel right, also I'd be left without the 16-50, and yes the new body may help energise my photo mojo.

I do miss the forum though, although I've not been online as I've not really had much nonsenese to talk about

I am set for tonight

Interesting combo Neil .

Just had fish and chips and an Anchor IPA. Sadly not English style F&C but still good.

Have a good weekend everyone.

That stuff doesn't agree with me.
I had a bad head the morning after 1 bottle.

After a visit to the dentist only managed a cheese and tomato omlette.

spent an hour playing with a new heat pump type tumble drier.......

Oh dear this is typical of me, been watching and not posting for the last few weeks...

...and tonight it's happened!

A mixed selection of bottles of beer, a mix of Thwaites Wainright, Pendle's Witch and Marstons IPA...

and the curry's here, some things never change...

I've been informed,apart from the veg for Xmas day, all the shopping is done.

We've only just agreed where and when (by son#2, Boxing Day) . Not begun to think about what to eat or give. Only the cards are ready to go, just waiting for the right stamps, which seem to be universally out of stock right now.

Christmas!

Well, we've got nowt yet!

We'll be doing the shopping in the traditional way.

That'll be last thing....

turbulent weather forecast today so will don the sou'wester and its off to Staithes and the Yorkshire coast.......low tide around 11:30 so maybe Robin Hoods Bay will get a visit....

Club outing today. Weather rather inclement at High Force and not much better at Grover Rake, sad to see one of the abandoned building fire damaged and another collapsed. If the rain had not been horizontal from which ever way the camera was pointing might have got an image or two. Highlight of the trip was fish and chips from the Chinese fish shop in Stanhope

Lovely day here - sunshine most of the day, but cold.

Our street was flooded yet again though. They are renewing the sewerage pipes in the street at the end of ours and for the last couple of days (and nights:evil they have had a couple of pumps working continuously. Today something went wrong and instead of pumping where it was supposed to pump it was pumping it into our street. It was interesting at first to see water flowing up hill, but then turds started floating by.
Our neighbour is a police officer - he called his boss who got a crew out to it in record time. Several people have had flooded cellars, sheds and the like though. Luckily our house is on what is known as a terp - a man-made island of higher ground, so we weren't affected.

Such excitement in the street. A week ago it was a tree down on the neighbours garage, now this.

Next few weeks the UK will see some really crap weather, that's guaranteed cos' lot's of people have just got new cameras
