Haha... no, but I did bring back Angolan Chillis and some Angolan beans, which I will post on the seed swap.

Yup, absolutely knackered... bear in mind we travelled with our 21months old boy too.

To be honest, most 'normal' trews are 3/4 lengths for me.

...and most shorts are full length on me

[jacob marley]

Beware if you are driving through Warwickshire and West Midlands they grounded the air Ambulance yesterday!!! why only they know so until the aeroplanes get flying again be carefull driving through this neck of the woods for the next few hours...jacob

[lottie dolly]

we had a helicopter over this afternoon

[ailsasyl]

Aunt still in Greece, no news as to when she will fly, we had one small light aircraft over and have not seen the helicopter that is based at Prestwick, which we usually see regularly
covering Scotland on emergency trips.

[basketcase]

Well it seems that the Scottish airports are likely to be open, but not the English and Welsh ones.

My DD is out in France on a skiing holiday and due to fly back via Gatwick on Sunday. Hope it's clear by then - she has an exam on Tuesday

[greengas]

My FIL is somewhere in Europe after being on a 3 week cruise of Indian ocean, we don't know when he will be back should have been Thursday. This trip they decided to leave all mobile phones at home so we have no idea where he is?

Here's the webcam of the volcano......

Eyjafjallajökull frá Valahnúk

pronunciation.......go on see who you can impress!!


"EY-ya-fyat-lah-YOH-kuht

The “EY” rhymes with the word “bay.” The “k” is softer than an English “k,” almost like a hard “g.” And the “t” at the end kind of sticks for a second and pulls away with a hint of a glottal “l.”

EY-ya-fyat-lah-YOH-kuht

Say it soft and it’s almost like, “Hey, ya fergot La Yogurt.”

[bobleponge]

Whilst I originally loved the yoghurt(yogurt?) volcano, its now becoming unamusing.
My back to back is supposed to be in pretty soon, but its looking increasingly unlikely. I'm only supposed to do 4 weeks, I'm almost at 7 already, and starting to sulk.
