Moomin No1 delivered to Bill Fen. Cleethorpes in sight.
-
So, having had the iPad rescued from behind the downstairs lav radiator (don't ask but it could've been a lot worst) I am ensconced in my pit at Tawny Towers. The world's most complicated car moving scheme has been refined (Cleesthorpes via Bill Fen, minus Newark but plus Glascote and shopping) and I have retrieved all five clean pairs of knickers from Bismarck's footwell. Cleanliness is next to Godliness and if I can't achieve one, I can aspire to the other ...

Still at the 'orspital

Setting off ...

After four full days of preparation, we are about to begin our positioning move!!!
Three days to get to the start so nice and relaxed.
Just need to work out how to fix the yellow leaflet to the front of the boat.
Blowed if I can see how to turn the picture the right way up though
How long does it take to get from Oz? I can't find it on CanalPlanAC ...

It's going to be a mere peccadillo compared to the cost of having the false inglenook back taken down ...It is in cahoots with the chimney. They seem to be competing to be the most expensive
Richard
Still, the other chimney, about which I feared the worst, has now been repointed and isn't unstable any more. Damp will be cured by introduction of yet another airbrick. The cottage had none, so it seems like there's a lot going in ...

Can anyone see how I can squeeze in going to Liverpool and Skelmersdale into that programme?

I don't think anything exceptional should be read into this. B&NES have always had a very vigorous approach to surveying the people who enter their jurisdictional space and one of the reasons is to assess the impact needs may have on council finances and services. Ellen's had something very similar as a householder in Bath and I was surveyed in Bath by a company representing B&NES, who were looking at my needs as a visitor, late last year.
Patrick is charged with distributing this survey to as many groups as possible, because, statistically, the data becomes far more robust as the survey population increases. Therefore, there is less chance of the results being skewed to one particular interest group.

Sadly, yes, Mike and she's been sold again since then. Probably on her way to London as I type ..
I will look for another boat at some point, but the roof is eating money, people have come to point and stare from miles around.

But you have just sold Cobbett so you can afford it with change left ovet
Sadly, the roof decided to give up the ghost ...

Oooh we have a date
But does anyone give a fig?

There is a very good reason they never went out of fashion ....
I'm an international style-setter?

Not that half sucked one he takes everywhere with him?
Yep, Victor Vectis had spat it out three times before that and I think the late, much-lamented Viola y Gath had licked it a few times, too.
-
I'm checking too, so far £3.74 has been located, plus the customary boiled sweet RLWP left last time he was here.

Put them in the wardrobe and wait till they come back into fashion
Whaddya mean out of fashion?! They've never been out of fashion in the Wriggly household ...

Balls, the army fire off hundreds of Shermully parachute flares all over the training areas, and they are not toys, they burn out long before they hit the ground. Just fire it you big Nancy !
As fond as I am of fireworks, bonfires and general mayhem, I have an inkling in the back of my mind that it's an offence to fire a marine distress flare without cause, I think it's buried in the Marine Shipping Act 1995 Whether that actually pertains to land use, I have no idea. I would say that it's not the best idea in the world though. Emergency services are stretched enough.

I suspect the speelchucker got hold of Bukh, which, I think, is what I spied when I saw it a few years ago.

I think this has exhausted all the possibilities now, and you've had your nice warning, so I'm locking it.

Mike is correct. IIRC, Roger had originally posted his email addy in his OP, and when I checked, his website was also directing to his email address amongst other things. I'll ask Roger to put his website address into his signature, there's no problem, just thought he'd prefer not to have the attention of Mr Prince of Outer Entereshqniaqi tel him about his financial 'good luck'. Especially as the OP was inviting CRT to contact him ....
ETA ... I'm probably being over-cautious here ... Currently marking ICT exam papers, therefore reading essays on Internet safety. Some are unintentionally hilarious ...

You get them anyway
It's the only emails I get that make sense sometimes ... It's nice to think someone is thinking of me. Still, there's a limit to how many I want to read ...

Please don't post your full email addresses on open forum. Before you know where you are, you'll be the only verifiable legitimate valued inheritee of a vast cash shipment of cash and cash gold waiting for you in a sealed vault at Heathrow which you can only redeem by paying Mr Sue Grabbitenrunne £6,578 of your hard-earned. Fifty gazillion times over.
As you were ...

Thanks for that Bazza.
I wonder if they come in brass or stainless?
Stainless obviously ...
