This afternoon I sat on my front porch reading, having a few beers and watching my (newly installed) next-door neighbour painting his front steps and porch.
As he finished the last railing I said "Nice job Ken, fancy a beer ?".
His reply was " No thanks. Oh, I overestimated what was needed to do the job. I have about 4 litres of this paint left, would you like it ? I can give you the brushes too if you don't have any."
I think he was giving me a strong message there.
These young kids (around 35 with two kids) are too bloody enthusiastic !

Took my 4 year old son to Leeds market to buy some seafood. Thought about an octopus, but couldn’t be bothered watching you tube videos of how to prepare it, so settled for 3 sea bass for a tenner. Showed my kid how to gut and filleted them, dusted with flour, fried them. My kid just turned his nose up and asked for some crisps...

No point in all of this good parenting lark, we lost the war to kfc long ago.

Up into Northumberland National Park on Friday evening, with the caravan.

Fish n chips from the chip van in Powburn on Friday night.

Ingram sheep dog trials Saturday morning. Walk up to Linhope Spout Saturday afternoon. Watching geese and bats over the flooded gravel pits Saturday evening.

Watched that documentary about bombs on NHE. Watched Apt Pupil with Ian McKellen.

Read a bit of me book.

Drank a bottle of merlot, 3 cans of IPA and a couple of G&Ts.

Come home this afternoon, picked the raspberries and made a crumble.

Funny you mentioned watching bats, one flew right through the house last night, the doors front and back were open to let some breeze through and a bat decided to have a look see.

Been down in that there London with Mrs Tash looking after my Granddaughter, while daughter and husband had weekend away

Kew Gardens yesterday, bit of a wander round shops and eateries today. Really nice time

Challenged a barman today though when he tried to charge me £8.95 for one pint and a small lime and soda!
Barman “that’ll be £8.95 please”
Dennis “no it won’t”
Barman “sorry?”
Dennis “I should think you are”
Barman “........”
Dennis “I often drink in here and that pint’s not much over a fiver”
Barman “£5.30”
Dennis “there you go..,so you really reckon you’re going to charge me £3.65 for a dash of lime cordial and a squirt of soda water?!...I don’t think you are” (I failed to mention the fresh lime he’d cut to go in it)
Barman “ahh...ok...£5.45 then?”
Dennis”...err...yeah that’s fine”

I’m available to sort that Brexit stuff out if either side needs a tough negotiator with a proven track record.

This reminds me of the time a mate of mine and myself went into Punch on Victoria square on lunchtime. It was early in the new year and he always had a dry January to get over his overindulgence during the Xmas holidays. He decides to have a pint of orange cordial with water, and myself had a pint of mild. They tried to charge him the same price as my pint, a big argument started finally ending up with him breaking his abstinence and having a pint of bitter.

Spent the long weekend in a brilliant BnB near Ypres - visited the Menin Gate and a couple of WW1 museums/grave sites, all sombre stuff. On a non-sombre note had a great time talking daft and drinking some tasty Belgian beers (nothing under 6.6%) with a few biker mates; we gave a load of grief to the guy who decided to book us all on 'Le Tunnel' to save £60 against travelling from Hull - silly sod forgot about the four full tanks and £80 of petrol to do the 500 mile round trip from Folkestone <doh> - add that to the mile after mile of traffic + roadworks on the southern roads, the A1 being closed at Peterborough and the general fatigue of the slog, he got away fairly light with some piss taking. Football, who needs it?

North Sea Ferries every time ( I know it's p+o now) it works out cheaper and much more convenient.

I was in Austria at the European Bike Week, it's not only Harley's.
 
Writing another book, a charity calendar and my Mrs continually telling me to repair things around the house.... **** sake lady, leave me the **** alone.....it hard enough when you have a limited vocabulary and imagination, but when someone is always ****ing nagging, just when you have a good idea....it's near impossible..... I have one about killing my wife but better not print it as it could be held as evidence..... apart from that... **** all really!!!?

Angle grinder update - two poles cut so far and still have all my fingers, though I cut the first one in a t-shirt and my right arm looks a little burnt.

Office stinks of burning anarl.

Quite like it though, the bloke in Gt Yarmouth who just knocked me for £3k should start checking his brakes. :bandit:

Edit: The cutting disks don't last fine minutes, got to back to B&Q now. <doh>
