I was off work, which was great. Even better, we saw Alter Bridge on Wednesday.

The setlist was awesome and they played great, as usual. When the first notes of Silent Divide hit in the beginning, every single hair in my arms was standing straight. On the downside, now I’ve had an ear worm since the concert.

Oof. That’s worse than suboptimal!

Calm down, kids. These issues were resolved a longtime ago by ASN.1

I do once or twice per winter. It doesn’t grow much, though.

I’ve been intending to cut the grass, but I’m worried the lawnmower will sink if I try. It’s been raining that much.

Forgot to mention, I will offer Ardbeg Uigeadail as a preparatory sedative. The only condition is you need to take it neat.

Would it make more enticing if I was to say my wife is a retired dentist?

When will the wet weather stop. I have a lawn that needs moving and few other things to do in the garden that aren’t happening at the moment.

Getting the complaint out of the way, I’m off this week. I was looking forward to Friday whole of last week. Alter Bridge to look forward to and wife’s birthday too. (In that priority order, mind)

Mate, I have really good pliers, so I can save you couple of tons. DM me.

 

I came across this beauty today. Not only was the car placement immaculate, but it was also camouflaged, all in one sweeping movement. That is handy when driving a stolen vehicle, probably, and in a hurry to move on.

It sounds like you overdid your workout badly last weekend.

After good several years, I started again going to the gym late last year. At my age one needs to be careful to avoid causing more harm than good. So far no major aches or pains, and happily a noticeable improvement in the way my body (or what’s left of it) works.

Saturday was lovely with bright sunshine through the day. The contrast with the past several weeks was remarkable.

Sadly Sunday was back to grey and damp. On Sunday evening I found myself wondering how bloody bored must I be to be watching curling!

 

Stop, it’s for… (sigh) buses only

Myles enjoying the warmth of the fire. Beign a Spanish water dog, he is most comfortable with muddy puddles, but today he needed the warmth.

 

There is simply no excuse for his thumb in the eye. He deserves a very lengthy ban.

 

I think we have here a perfect case for a community service order: wheelbarrow, shovel, off you go.

 
 

I’m struggling to see the downside of a few betting shops going under.

After several weekends and evenings of toiling my new BBQ setup is finally ready. Just in time for the thunderstorms!

 

Larry has been a constant fixture of politics and UK foreign relations for a fair while. Just today he was part of the UK-France discourse.

I think he deserves a state funeral when he eventually passes. Should we create a parliamentary petiton?

 

What a way for Black Sabbath to bow out. Were you there or watch the stream? What did you think?

 

Modern technology threw some curveballs this year. I hope everybody had a great time regardless.
