Is it true that you and the Weder are competing in the Shot put?

Carrying a torch ?
If you are in the UK, you can't have escaped the press and media hype trumpeting the Olympics. I'm not particularly sporty, but I do enjoy some of the stuff that's showcased and I appreciate the dedication and time of the atletes to be the best in their game. What I really hate is the commercial...
You and I have both had the sixties on our minds lately... I just posted Petula Clark the other day... LOL

Yeah, yeah yeah
Bought this watch dead cheap off E Bay ages ago from someone in Hong Kong. First time I put it on the strap broke as it was too small. Anita managed to get me a grown ups sized strap and she had a replacement battery too, yeah, yeah yeah. Fab gear.
Looks like Spring in your sill!

New bloomers !
Last week, my sister gave both Anita and I a Hyacinth plant, neither of which were in flower. I thought about three weeks before they would bloom, but even in the relative cool of the bedroom (warm rooms will make them bolt) these have come into flower in a week. Also, their scent is wafting r...
Very nice

Naughty Mr. WInner
I've been exchanging tweets with Michael Winner for quite some time now and have to say he's one of the most genuine, funny and dare I say charming people you could exchange messages of 140 characters with. Here's this morning's exchange: Isn't he a scamp ?
I can never stay up til 10. I was in bed by 9 and slept 11 hours... So much for a rockin Saturday night in the City that Never Sleeps! LOL

Miserable, moi ?
OBC was just showing off that he can acquiesce to the new technologies, picking up my phone and taking this picture as we had a quick pint in the Pretty Bricks yesterday after I got back from the hospital. When he saw it, he said it made me look like the miserable git I am. I was far from mise...
Looks like a Happy Keith!!

Bounty from Baltimore
Postman's just been. A package from Baltimore, bursting with beautiful and unusual varieties of chilies from Molly Goatwax in Baltimore. It is she who gave me the bug for growing chillies, but our summer didn;t allow for such a harvest like she has. She's been telling me recently that she's h...

I will NEVER buy Epson again !
I've had Epson printers since 1990 when I bought my first PC. I only ever owner one HP which was an excellent printer but the ink was too expensive for volume printing. My SP900 was a great printer and the generic cartridges lasted a long time. I had a BX300 which went wrong (chewing paper) ...
Congrats on the weight loss, mate... Another three kilos and you can have a salad! (No dressing... Just lemon. Beans for protein!)

Pleasant valley Sunday
OK, so I'm not in a valley, but I did have a pleasant surprise this morning when I got on the scales and a whole kilo had gone (2.2 lbs). I've not been on any walks this week apart from a couple of trips to Tesco, as I've been under the weather most of the week. Another three kilos and I get to...
I can smell the basil from here!!

Pets in the greenery
I've got two visiting Ladybirds who are enjoying the Basil (or bay zil if you're American). They are very welcome, because I think I may have Aphids and Ladybirds have a voracious appetite for them. The Basil's doing well isn't it ? Smells pretty amazing too.
Hey, I recognize some of those Canada Geese!!!

Bread, bread bread, it's all they think about
Serious caution should be employed when walking alone in the arboretum carrying half a 400 gram loaf of stale wholemeal. This first picture isn't so bad, quite orderly in fact, a mother swan and two cygnets which she did a masterful job of protecting from an onslaught of ducks all quacking "go...
That does look like a hearty and delicious meal... I'd never heard of Mushy Peas before... Are they just pureed??? There must be added butter or sugar or something to make them so high in calories??
As you know, I've been vegetarian since last May...
I reckon that sometime after the weather switches to cool, I'll be craving a hunk of meat...
We'll see...

Compromise
I made it known to Bob the Butcher and most others who would listen, that as soon as I shifted 20 kilos (44lbs) of fat, I was going to treat myself to a T bone steak and chips. Chips are something I very rarely eat, in fact I have had them twice in twelve months, once in March of this year and t...

Look at the traps on that
You've not had a carnie update for a long time, so here's one now. the VFT's especially are doing well, as you can see by the large size of the traps and the pink inside, which means they are getting enough light. They are also feeding well up here on the sixth floor. Pitchers are OK, b...

Apologies for the lack of posts, neck problems making me miserable. Physio session on Wednesday, I hope it helps. Took the little Canon with me on my walk today as it was a nice sunny morning. Early morning offers great light for photographs And a bit of blue sky helps Saw two of these gu...

Herb bounty
Left to right - Dill, Basil and Oregan (doing best of all).
Yikes... I didn't know about any of these poisons... When I microwave potatoes, I guess, I'm de-poisoning them... Cuz I ain't sick yet... At least, I don't think I am... (Perhaps sick in the head!)... Bought some beautiful red/purple "new potatoes" from the local Greenmarket the other day, Keith... You would love these little babies...

Listen up potato heads
OK, here we go: So here's the allotment home grown potatoes with the Warwickshire dirt still on them. Really looking forward to boiling those up and serving them with a bit of butter and mint. Well spotted, there is s tinge of green in that front one. Will have to see how deep that goes in...

Moll's progress vs mine
Moll in Baltimore sent me a picture of her orange explosion Habaneros which are now fruiting and will soon ripen into their full descriptive orange explosion colour. I sent her a reply saying I feel like the inadequate guy in the locker room, here's mine below Admittedly mine weren't planted...
Oh... and just so you know... the post under this one is identical to this one... A little too quick on the trigger there, Keith boy?

Restricted, Baby Bio ?
There are certain items over here, that if you wave them in front of a barcode scanner in a supermarket, it will flash up "restricted item". This includes booze, knives (because of the teenage obsession for using them on each other) and cigarettes, to name but three. You have to be over 16 t...
Glad to hear you have solved your puzzle... I have no patience to try and figure these things out and am from the "throw it out" school. So, these things last only about two years I'm afraid til their planned obsolescence kicks in so effectively...

Steven Moffatt and his current crew should take not that there are some people out there who understand the timeline of the Daleks and how much people actually love them. This animation is actually produced by an amateur. With the Daleks having been retired by Moffatt (possibly out of embarrass...

Where does the time go ?
I know, I've not posted in almost week. A combination of being busy or off colour with my neck problem. Went to see Dr. K yesterday and she agreed that I shouldn't rely too heavily on the DIclofenac as in large doses it's no good for your kidneys and I've had enough probs in that department. I...
