Hadn't thought of them as a wind up - not bad - may invest for the sheer h... of it.

AHA - but it's not the answer to a maiden's prayer.

That machine doesn't fold your booklets for you

Bet your glad you didn't have the extra pooch - one toddler is enough

Sounds as if you need a good drink - and a rest

Fun though

Sorry Gwyn - I've not got it .

You could try teaching your 4yr old to do some cookery Messy - yup but that's fun and he'd enjoy eating the fruits of his labour

I'm just thinking that this darn weather will have to improve - my weed remover arrives tomorrow evening , and if this goes on he'll be swimming round the garden

Well - here on teh West the rain has now started

Dunno what the bulbs I have in store are - we got freebies from Scottish Power [ 2 carrier bags full !! ] from the Council , another lot from Scottish Power .

I also have some 'old bulbs' for places where I need instant light [ got those in when I realised there were going to be problems and they seem to be good quality , not like the cheap B&Q ones Raymond got for some 'security' lights on Time switches .

The B&Q bulbs were dreadful - blowing if you looked at them so in disgust I've managed to get a sort of candleshaped low energy one in that socket which is working very nicely

Can't see me ever using up all these light bulbs.

Very mild rant Tony - but appreciated

#2 - stunning - the contrast between the bird in flight and that sky - wonderful

I love the detail shown of his feathers and the fact that he's in motion - I don't think freezing the bird would have had quite the same effect - there's a sort of softness there [ not an OOF Softness ] that's most attractive

echoed from the other side of the country too
