I'd go with sand and they're masonry drills.

This afternoon's National One rugby match was strang. From the bar I volunteer to run we could just see players at the halfway line, we're twenty foot behind one dead all line offset slightly from the posts. At times we couldn't see the posts at the other end and a few times couldn't see players in ...

Second frosty morning!

Perhaps the RHS are being Baaashful?

Then occasionally spotted one Hertford way, they arrived here as occasional visitors a few years later and never saw them east of the M11. Now they're as common as muck, had two circling on Sunday, way up high, and see them ofte...

Best avoid Google then Tiger!
