eeeh lad. the sun has gone down over the rooftops.Originally posted by Churchill View PostYou lucky sod. I'm stuck in the office earning a crust!
The breeze changed, and I could smell the blossoms from the disused railway and watch the lazy bees buzzing around the garden. Then a plane flew over, in slow circles, a novice by the way the wings wobbled, and I could also hear the sound of a train in the distance.
all very nice
now I have an hour before the lady comes home from work, to make our cheese and wine party.
Crusty bread, a prawn cocktail, coarse mushroom pate, boursin, a bowl of grapes and a bottle of white wine for the lady
Bread, blue cheese, a jar of pickles, and cheese crackers, plus whats left of ten cans for myself
then its up at six tomorrow for another day.
its the contractor life for me boys. and girls

31 degrees C forecast today, but the sea temperature is only 18 or 19 degrees C. Still a bit nippy for swimming?Originally posted by Churchill View PostSee you in Lanzarote, chubs!
The other big problem with Lanzarote is that there are no trees to sling a hammock off. What is there to do there? I may give Tenerife a whirl.Comment

Mine was today's forecast, yours is current temperature (click my link).Originally posted by EternalOptimist View Post
Edit: At least I hope yours is current temperature, or maybe a daily average, rather than a high, because a 10 degree difference in forecasts takes some explaining. Except with the words BBC weather, Met Office, etc. Someone will just have to fly out there and find out.Last edited by TimberWolf; 7 April 2011, 09:50.Comment

Atlantic crossed on raft made of pipes
Setting off from the Canaries.
By an 85 year old, though his crew were sprightly 56-61 year olds.
I would like to think that I could sail the Atlantic in a boat made of pipes when I'm 85.Comment
