Today I shall be Mainly...

[Stanley]

Nice references to Kayfield and Hemp Butts Wendy. Straight into the index!

[Wendyf]

I forgot to mention that the sale of Kayfield & Hemp Butts in 1774 followed the death of a Robert Walshman.
Back to the muck heap this morning. Some neighbours took a couple of trailer loads of well rotted stuff away yesterday, so now I can move more recent contributions to the back and tidy everything up. I do like feeling the heat from the heap through my wellies on a cold morning.....

I expect there are certain warm fuzzy feelings to be had over a pile of fresh manure, Wendy.
I am not ruling it out as a source of pleasure...

[Wendyf]

Get back to that roast chicken dinner!

[Marilyn]

And back to the poo pile with you...

Roast Chicken dinner was nice. No leftovers as son took them home.
Big clean up of dog hair here tomorrow.....

[Wendyf]

Actually, it's disappointingly cool up there this morning.....too well rotted down. Ah well, tea break over, back on your heads.

[Stanley]

Wendy, you've reminded me of the old days. 60 years ago, a hard frost which froze the ground and meant we didn't make a mess poaching the land. Loading steaming muck into the Massey-Harris spreader. Your feet were warm and so was the rest of you from the work! Wonderful how the vapours from the pile could clear a cold and give you an appetite. Good days..... Other memories as well, getting to the field and finding the draw pin had jumped out and I no longer had a spreader attached! Uncovering a shrew in the heap which bit me when I touched it. Hitting a pocket of pig and human muck mixed, not quite as wholesome as the rest. (We had a dry earth trench under the lavatory which mixed in with the liquid muck from the pig sty.)
Schedule today is reading, looking after Jack and eating plain food.

Resting aching muscles from weekend exertions of Switch On and Remembrance Day.

On Friday morning, I was mainly occupied with a swollen tongue which prevented speech. Bob Kenny was amused at the way it had silenced me!

Fortunately (for me!), the course of steroids has done the trick and normal speech is possible.

[Stanley]

Reading and arranging for the Sparks to replace the lights in the kitchen.

[Sue]

I was supposed to have my flu jab but still have Eve's cold and limited voice. We have just unpacked having arrived home at midnight. It will be a quiet day today.

[Tardis]

in Burnley

[Moh]

Getting most of my Christmas shopping.

[Stanley]

Writing articles for the BET. They want one a week over the Christmas and New Year holidays so i need to do five to get me to the second week in January....

[Sue]

Up very early, still trying to fight off Eve' s cold. I have a stiff aching thumb after my cortisone injection, a stuffed up nose and a headache. Can't sleep so got up to make a cuppa.
Today is art with Jeremy Ford

[Stanley]

Nowt wrong with getting up early Sue. But remember, it's sometimes the early worm that gets eaten by the bird.....

[Moh]

Today I shall have a full day working on hubby's family tree, he has gone to Harrogate for the day with a friend to a Motor/Motor Cycle Auction.

[Sue]

Streaming old and now Bob has stated with it

[PanBiker]

Funny how a couple of typo's can change a sentence. Your last post Sue sound like it could have come from the mouth of the French "Gendarme" in "Allo Allo".

Hope you both feel butter soon

[Sue]

Oh yes, I see what you moan!!

My Christmas cactus today! This is a plant I tend to forget about, I rarely water it and never feed it. It sits in the least used room in the house month in and month out.

[Stanley]

More writing....

Loved the typos Sue!

[Sue]

Head all stuffed up, typing hand doing its own thing

[Moh]

More Harrison family tree work.

[Stanley]

Spending far too much time deleting spam and banning spammers..... But if we don't do this the site would be crippled.

[Wendyf]

Visiting Mum, but worrying about what's happening on here.
