A whole new start for another Bits and Bobs.

Wow, that was quick off the mark, OH! Many thanks.
To anybody who is on line from the southwest: I hope you are ok in this horrid weather and particularly safe from flooding!

What's with the nearly, it's grim up North today.

Wishing all those suffering the grim weather safe a passage through it. sounds like the emergency services have been doing a sterling job as usual.

I thought someone might pick up on, "nearly".
I just love your sense of humour, now i have got to grips with it Geoff.

Morning Peter, the first run went well thank you, and returned unscathed.
Regarding the snow prediction for this year, deep and crisp and even.

We have seen a Red Admiral this week feeding on some fallen Pear remnants even on the frosty days earlier in the week.
..and this morning in an effort to get our barrows quickly out to the border work we arranged for a Le Mans start...
Actually a few more drivers need signing...there are more barrows than drivers
..and two still needed unloading from tateying...

Wheelbarrow heaven, Clive.
Now i'm not one to brag about my new wheelbarrow but, i'm sure some of the posh Mums who passed me this morning in their big four wheel drive automobiles, were showing a touch of jealousy in their expressions.

I suspect they were reacting to your raw animal magnetism OH.
Good job Lizzie wasn't going past in her Range Rover or she'd have photographed your a*se for her private collection.
Either animal magnetism or the raw manure you were transporting.

I'm touching wood and crossing fingers here.
... My "new" computer has run for more than 15 minutes without a shut down and auto reboot.....
Hopefully the axe that I have leant up the computer table can be put back in the log shed now...............

Evening Clive, i can sympathize with you, i'm a placid sort of a fellow, but hammers and axes do spring to mind when my computer is messing about.
Hope you get it sorted before you resort to the axe.
