Nice to see Catherines Moroccan veggie one pot recipe, on page 34 of the March issue of the K.G magazine.

Well done Catherine.

Also on the same page i seem to have had my name put under Johnboys reply.

The March edition....??

Then I noticed to my right on my in tray (ever increasing pile of papers on computer table) ...the March edition...with thanks to my mail opening agent. .

Now back to pension paperwork..

Clive.

Indeed so clive.

My pension investments are with a large insurance company, and they are a total waste of time. I knew i should have bought another Manor house instead.

..and I should have kept even more Dinky toys. ..

Clive.

I didn't know you cut your local cricket field as well Clive.

I would....but I have no tractor in workable condition.

As a young lad I went through several of the Dinky Massey Harris tractors...I had the rare rubber tyred orange Field Marshall tractor that I went and painted green
The more detailed Dinky David Brown is long gone...
I have not even got the Dinky swb Land Rover in workable condition. ..that would have provided the tow...

Clive

At least you probably had hours of enjoyment out of them Clive.

I did....and then I had a stroke of genius

It was the time that Blue Peter were collecting old toys to melt down, I think?...(or check through, hopefully, for anything more valuable as is?) for one of their annual Appeals.. Along comes a school friend with a bag of his toys that he would no longer play with as he was too old and he was thus taking them to the collection point at school....
I spotted that this bag contained more or less the same toys as I had... But..mine were worn out through use excavating the garden and farming the carpets... So a simple exchange happened....and it was my old toys that went to the collection.
..and I was allowed to play with them still...and wore this next lot out. ...

Then...a bit older...I got into collecting at Toy Fairs and had a few years buying up a few workable (not boxed) similar examples..and some that had previously passed me by too..like the gang mower set...and recently posted mower...

Pension plans Bah Humbug...

Clive.

At last, a morning without having to scrape ice off the car

Dear Donedigging, i thought the ice had normally melted by 11 o'clock.

I think i could be in trouble now.

Good Morning OH,

Cheeky!

You do make me laugh

Dear Donedigging, you are a good sport.

If you can smile a lot in life, you're half way there to enjoying it.

Off to Tesco this morning. Better fish out some shoes

Or should I just wear my mud-and-chicken-shit-covered wellies and see their reaction?

How nice it was finishing work at Five o'clock and walking home with it still being light.
