Shivered looking at this one

Been for a walk lunchtime with Paolo. We walked over Conham Vale and past the the Swan ........ and then over the playing fields to get to the panoramic walk ................ and then down the path through the woods to get to the river ............ The river looks in good condition at the moment , it's dropped about 12 foot from the level it was when in flood two weeks ago ................. This guy appreciated the better conditions as he landed a nice Chub while we there, he'd caught eight that morning all on worms ........

I never had proper cider. It’s not really a thing here. Got my little helper guy cooking tonight:

From today’s bimble over towards Velez Rubio……..didn’t bother @XTreme because he’s still got the lurgy. Anyway, this is my submission

Well it's a fuck sight more than some of these Casuals on here can manage Clive!

Out for lunch in my favourite hilltop cafe.

Good call Ray! Running into a Cockney never improved anybody's heath!

As far as i'm aware the boiler recycles the hot exhaust gases it produces when heating the water so it uses less gas making it more efficient. when the gases cool they produce water that drains to the sewer, as i have found out it cannot be made of metal as the water is corrosive. On my house the only way i could run the pipe was across my kitchen roof into the guttering which then goes to the sewer but it is susceptible to freezing which mine had done so it was running over the roof tiles instead of through the pipe. fixing this is what highlighted the corroded pipe in the boiler cupboard god knows how long it has been leaking definitely months rather than weeks. Its only a drip so has taken a long time to show up in the house as we never go in the boiler cupboard unless there's a problem

Anyway, we sat on a bench opposite Bristol Ariel Rowing Club to have a coffee .......... and then up through the Deer path and past the old quarry to get up to Dundridge Park and home

Ice Cream Shop!

This is the one I ‘m submitting, Pete

no need to be rude you bell end

Meanwhile, in Colorado ...

I think i found the issue there @XTreme

@Saul.... snow and ice....no fear.

No photos of any red barge’s this month

Walking to Newport with the daughter and Matt (Sam’s partner), goes on the bus and has his driving lesson. All on the bus if it’s raining. Prob spend the day there before heading back to Cowes for an early ish bed ready for the trip home tomorrow. Mandis still having fun in Singapore but she’s having an extra day sight seeing before the long flight back. She’s 8 hours ahead of our time so communications not been good, adding to the fact the vessel she’s on is having a lot of connection probs. Wi-Fi especially, been slowing their progress down since she got there.

If december is ok I have this one .................

Fer fucks sake, I’m only going to have a look at one…….that’s if they’ve got one to look at!

Wapping Old Stairs and some modern mudlarkers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudlark

This time last year you fuckers were ripping into my 650GS cos according to you lot it was Chinese! Now you're looking at Chinese brands!

I will just for you

Your back , have you reversed flounced ? any more problems on here , im here if you need to talk

Just got off the roof put the trace heating on earlier while i was having a sandwich but when i went out i had forgotten to plug in the extension lead so had to wait a bit before i could start This is the pipe with the trace heating tied on loosely ready for taping up and all the slates with that white stain will need replacing now but i will wait for better weather to do that or until the water enters the kitchen whichever comes first LOL This is it all taped up with aluminium foil tape just need to get some good insulation now i covered it with the old insulation for now

He doesn't know WTF he's talking about......same as usual!

Slept after work, watched Leicester vs Northampton with the Dear Boy. We are now watching Exeter vs then Gloucester gotta get ready for work at 22:00. Pretty good day in an unusually quiet house.

Do you need me to go unplug something and then plug it back in?

That's going to give Pedro a run for his money!

If that's the case why is @Sir Fallsalot pipe corroded so badly , dumbkoff

We carried on towards Conham , you never know who you might meet down there. Today it was Jacob Rees-Mogg But really I think it was Richard Branson

My day hasn't gone as planned, what i thought was going to be a few hours work replacing the condense pipe has turned into 6 hours so far and i'm still not done, looks like the condense water likes to consume more than copper I've had to replace half a dozen of the artificial slate tiles on the roof as well, all the ones that have had the condense water on just crumble to nothing in your hands. Having a bit of grub at the moment while the trace heating warms up so i'ts a bit easier to dress along the condense pipe

Or my cojones

It's 3 years old......but you would think it was ancient from how it ambles around.

Perhaps the dog is retired

It's gonna be so nice out that I'm going for a ride!!!

I'll throw this one in from Xmas Day.....which was the last time I rode it!

I don’t live in England either but I do live in a country that actually exists unlike Zzzak who lives in the fictional country of Australia.

Just to make up the numbers a rubbish photo

When he goes too far on the beach, do you walk around calling out loud “dear boy”?

Went out and about with the Dear Boy today. We did 7.5k but he’s was distracted didn’t want to pose for any photos or even mooch about like he normally does. He even got a bit frustrated with me when I stopped to take some pics of stone piles. Call me soft but I think he knew there were birthday prezzies at home for him. Anyway he is happily sleeping now after being spoilt on his 7th birthday.

Yeah its going great apart from the very long hours by which I mean most days starting 6am and not getting home till between 8 and 10pm most days but other than that I'm my own boss so I can take days off as and when I want and if I do 5 days a week I'm bagging over 600 quid a week so my plans are do 4 or 5 weeks at 5 days a week then do 2 weeks of 4 days which generally bag me 500+

My buddy's pooch....weird dog. Does everything in slow motion....

Weird weekend here, eldest daughter has a residential week at College and went today. Youngest daughter is round her mates for a sleepover and I am off to work. Just the Mrs and my son rattling around a quiet house. Not normal at all, no music no singing no bedlam. But it is the dog’s birthday and the Dear Boy has a new Ginger best Bud
