Lovely spot, and just water Rail sized too

dog Training

I suggest a lanyard and hang the keys around your neck, or are you one of those people who loudly complain about your lost glasses that are usually pushed up and on your forehead? My ex's grandad would always lose his walking stick, it was painted white to be more visible, but it was invariably found in one of the ridges of the greenhouse roof or on the shed roof where he had put it for safe keeping.

I managed to print a few hundred, mine ended up going to my daughters workplace- a NHS training centre, as staff still had to be trained, mostly in covid related practices at that time, so though the NHS staff had PPE, the trainers etc were struggling to get hold of it. they were so busy that none were furloughed, but a lot of them did work from home for the duration.

I remember I was furloughed for a month, and when I came back it was to a 2 month backlog, they literally called me back as soon as they could, it was a life changer for me as working from home became the norm, and ever since it has saved me from 3 hours a day commuting, I now go into the office only for training or meetings- though now its a 2 day trip to coventry and a 4 hour drive each way when i do go into the office. my neighbours - well they never stopped doing the babysitting for their extended families (many ex's and many kids), so it was unsurprising that they quickly went down with covid- but that didnt stop them as they still continued as they still continued to be the contact point where the kids were handed between parents for visitation rights and they continued having people in the house through lockdowns. I bubbled with my sister and parents to keep them supplied with shopping as soon as that was allowed, my sister had been getting shopping for them and dropping it off at the door up to that point, but as she doenst have a car, the bigger stuff was problematical. as far as I know I have still managed to avoid covid, despite me finding that I could not breath in a mask (I tried to go shopping once, and by halfway round asda I was gasping from lack of breath and had to take it off,) when I tried again at home, within 5 minutes of wearing the mask my blood oxygen dropped below 94% and I couldnt continue. so I found a large mesh scarf they I could wear, as a token gesture.

try and photograph the night sky, and all you will see it the starlink trails crossing the sky.

I once did a 5am start from hardly cross with the aim to get back to beccles early to go get a new cooker- caught the tides early and made it there for 9.30am with the tide behind me both down river, through the new cut and then upriver to Beccles

the main issue with the Chet when it is like that is when you encounter something coming the other way, or wild swimmers who dont seem to understand theres not a lot of places for you to go to avoid them, and that once you start to pass them they become very difficult to keep track of from the helm of a boat, even if you are brushing the reeds on the opposite bank.

well Griffs Purdey is usually very good, she even manages to take herself to the bar to get a round of dog biscuits. now we just have to train Griff...

delight XI is aslo in the potter heigham section

That reminds me, must bring a new tin of varnish next time i am up, at least it looks like the starter battery is still charging properly and has kept the bilge pump working nicely.

you need a volvo griff, pull one pin, remove headlight 10 seconds- now changing the marker light bulb- thats buried about 6" inside the headlight unit and takes about 30 minutes.

being made in the Royal Navy, well my dad was too and he is now in his 90's, though he will be the first to admit that most parts are now defective or not fully functional, he has managed to let the NHS deal with most repairs, and they are keeping him going, with a bit of extra bracing here and there, and replacement headlight lenses. Mum wasnt made in the RN and she is a couple of years older than Dad, but has had NHS undercarriage repairs with a main ball joint replacement. She too is still going though with reduced mobility nowadays, she can still get around the house, though everything is a handhold.

I have just pinned both this thread and the other spring meet thread so they are easier to find at the top of theuir respective sections

well thats the holiday from work booked and approved, and the boat booked, so i am looking forward to it.

possibly because I knew exactly what she meant

it has the look of a delight, but the back deck is curved not flat and I dont see the steering quadrant that a delight would have on the back deck.

Isnt that where the electric post is though, so understandable if they wanted an electric hookup.

his next shot of gin was a blue gin

already read that one, very reminiscent of a loofa.

perhaps- just maybe if the Broads Authority are no longer sending letters and using emails instead it could make sense. Otherwise it just seems to be petty vindictiveness.. and to give no explanation why lacks common courtesy. I do admit i snorted into my coffee when I read "the two organisations share many common aims - primarily the desire to promote the Broads as a premier destination for sailing and boating." Really? since when have the broads Authority displayed the desire to promote the broads for sailing and boating, it always seems they want rid of all the pesky boaters.

I have heard of bog oak too.

not sure- lets find it on a map. well it seems most are cafes, there is one (an estate agent) that is temporarily closed, near the river thames- so the answer has to be - maybe

At Alkham where we hold our Astronomy meetings they have been pumping into tankers and taking the water away since early december, its an operation that has been running 24/7 since they started, at first they had several tankers and were filling up as fast as possible then taking elsewhere to empty (its a low point in the valley so nowhere lower to pump to) now they just have 2 tankers, still taking it turn and turn about to fill up and empty elsewghere, unfortunately this operation blocks over half of the parking at the village hall, making it more difficult.

small, round, flat and full of ducks, with the odd shopping trolley handle poking out of the water?
