Evening all. Well I have finally got on line after one heck of a week, see rant. Been very hot here even the kids lasted only a few minutes outside.
Going to try and get back to the allotment tomorrow before it gets to hot again. Need to get the last of my spuds up before the mice get to them, see rant again.
Have a good evening everyone

rary - Got some good news and bad news for you if you have grandkids that love Lego.

My grandson Andrew lost a bit of a boat he had built down between the decking a day or two back so when we went on our train trip to Glasgow today I took the boys to the Lego shop in Buchanan Galleries where we searched all the tubs they have containing Lego pieces for sale without any joy.

I then approached a young sales assistant who said - "Wait a few minutes and I'll search the bins, (not waste) - I could see there were hundreds if not thousands of pieces in these bins around the sales floor and she was struggling to find the lost piece but was collecting anything that resembled it so after confirming that none of them were quite right I suggested that we could save her time and bother and search ourselves which she readily agreed.

After a minute or two Hawkeye Andrew found the missing bit - (his eyesight is uncanny - he can spot a bus no. from 100 yards away). and here is the good bit for you - the girl said "well done" - "good for you" - "no charge" followed by "If he loses any other pieces just bring him back and see what you can find - no charge"

Here is the bad bit - she was so nice and helpful that I couldn't leave without buying something so I got Euan 2 Lego builds for a tenner, (£9.98 to be exact).

Sad day for you both - as a grandfather I think I can safely say SP's grandparents will fully appreciate all the care, attention and devotion she has given them and would not want her to be sad but happy for all the good times they spent together

Oh dear...bit of a sad day for some

I'll raise a glass of white to 'lost' friends/family.
I've lost enough of my own to know that sharing grief is always supportive

good evening Folks, a right wet dull day here butthere is some conciliation the tubs that are out of the wind are doing well, was out at the greenhouse for a time and put a fire on not that it was that cold but it was damp and I quite enjoyed the heat, I had to get out thr house as I had been making carbon for my compost, burnt four slice of bread in the toaster, so discretion the better part of valour I withdrew to the greenhouse till the smell of burnt bread cleared up a bit, and OH cooled down, well every thing seems ok she is making the supper so have to go I wish you all a good night if you are out tomorrow try not to get sunburn. Goodnight

Came home from work today & joined the children on the trampoline. They managed to bump into each other, & eldest child's v wobbly tooth came out with lots of wailing & blood pouring out. Much better now and I have been informed that as it's a front tooth the tooth fairy brings £2, not the usual £1!

With youngest child's constipation being "cured" 3 minutes into a shared bath it's been an evening of small drama

[Florence Fennel]

There's now a huge smile on my face - thanks to your children hh

Banging (as they say around here) Flo
