Another pointless thread

I go for regular colonoscopies. We don't yet have the fecal sample screening here, but because of a family history, all in the female line (of which I am the last) I am checked regularly.

Trust me there are worse jobs than checking fecal samples on a card.

Can we please go back to talking about something else!

OK so what do you want to do.

(memories of Jungle Book have just surfaced)

Not that I'm infering that you're from Liverpool

Must've knocked off early

Sorry, but I missed the reference entirely. Took me a while to remember the vultures!

I am supposed to be painting a room. I looked out the window this morning and the sun was shining so I took my camera and new lens and headed of to get some photos. Well two hours later, not a single photo.
So I headed home, went with the dog, checked life online and still haven't touched a paintbrush.

I got my new toys this morning. weather Rubbish, birds (starling) Won't Keep Still.
Signed up to foliopic so friends and family can heap praise on my prowness with a pentax

weather here has been a bit strange too .

Damp , plenty of rain overnight , but high winds - nearly lost the Freelander's door when I was parking her

Can't remember gales being forecast

Just had next door round for afternoon tea - baked a victoria sponge with raspberries, and scones and clotted cream and strawberry jam - nice way to pass 3 hours !!

Sounds very nice Tony - any left overs???

Just had a phone call from my youngest. He relies on temping jobs to earn a crust since journalists are not in any great demand.

He has just had a bill from the dentist, and since in a recession temps are the first to go he hasn't had much work lately, so could I lend him (ha!) the money to pay the bill please. So I am now €500 poorer and he is a perfect set of teeth richer. I just hope after neglecting them for years he now will maintain them.

I've told him it's a good job he had them done this year because we won't have that sort of money twiddling it's thumbs next year.

Isn't it wonderful when we still have to help them out Gwyn

Do we ever lose them ?

Oh well - I suppose this is what families are about - thinking back to my trip for the wedding of the year last week

Planning for a trip to Norfolk for next week. I need to find sites for the van that have a pub next door i also need to find a b&b nearby 'just in case' the weather turns bad and we find the van cold at night or the wind too strong.....

Big sky country and birds by the million - I hope I can get some good light for decent shots

Hope you have a good time Dave, we looked at B&Bs in Norfolk, the prices are, shall I say, interesting!

It's a place I've never been and at the prices they charge it's going to be a long time before I do go, still...

...I think we're going to North Yorkshire for a short break at the start of March.

A pub we know is offering a good price on accomodation, all we need is some good friends to agree and off we go.

If I was returning to east anglia for a visit I'd time it for the cheap caravan holidays in the Sun. We've had a few at various camps around the country, Seton Sands being a favourite.

Our usual price in the van on a campsite is £10-15 per night including electric and quite often showers. That means we can afford a b&b every now and again
