Paul Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 not much in the way of social distancing in that top photo, do they all live in the same household? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Correct and not at all, that photo was taken quite a few years ago now before anti social distancing had been heard of Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Today is my birthday. Can't say that I'm thrilled to be having yet another one! Still I suppose the alternative is no great shakes either. Received a card from my granddaughters on which beneath the heading of Greatest Nan Ever was a photo of me bathing them 21 years ago! they said that as we couldn't all be together today the next best thing was a photo of when we were. It really made my day.Tony bless him says that as he can't take me out to dinner as normal, he is going to cook Sunday lunch. Roast leg of lamb with all the trimmings - he is an excellent cook so I'm looking forward to that. Whatever you are all doing today have a good time.

addicted Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Thanks for all the birthday greetings they are much appreciated. I had a lovely day.Spent the day mostly in the garden with my Kindle It was very relaxing helped along by the lovely bottle of very cold champagne produced by my wonderfully thoughtful husband ( he knows me so well) As it was so warm we chose to have dinner this evening instead of lunchtime. |It was every bit as good as I knew it would be. meat perfectly cooked, so tender you could cut it with a spoon and gravy that really spoke up for itself if you know what I l mean! Hope you all enjoyed your day too. Carole 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Sidecar? Perish the thought. Besides I’d need a poxy bike trailer! Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 It's those fast right handers when the combo goes up on one wheel that gets yer! But I suppose modern combos are so heavy it does not happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 or like a family friend, sold the sidecar, and on the way home after dropping it off, stopped at the lights and promptly fell over sideways. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat nee blownup Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 My old man had a Vincent. The only way he could get it going was to push like billyo then jump on. We lived approximately 5 miles from his work. I remember him pushing it every morning. He pushed it 4 1/2 miles before he could get the bugger started. He must have done it on the way home as well. But he was happy Sent from my iPhone using Norfolk Broads Network 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolcat Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 My day (yesterday) was an enjoyable water soaked day of cleaning Lady Emma's outside bits After over two months of not being able to attend her needs and seemingly used as target practice for the seagulls, she certainly needed a good scrub! Six hours or so later, she was looking a lot better.

TheQ Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Morning All, Friday I went to the boat, and checked everything out. Topped up the batteries, 24 of the 25 that is, they seemed OK. However there is definately a problem as the drive system is not working and the solar panel not charging. I suspect there is a failed junction at one of the batteries or I have a battery failure. This is typical as I'm now back at work and do not have time to work on the boat. So I bimbled down to Boulters, and booked her in. She's due the BSS, a lift out and antifoul anyway. Of course all those who have been delaying their relaunch till relaxation of the lockdown had started, had beaten me to it.. So Boulters can't fit the boat in till mid July. I did give her a wash and brush up on the exterior, not that much needed doing, the lack of rain has reduced to normal amount of "greenness" that appears when you leaver her overwinter. just the solar panel needed a wash and the decks a wash off of dust. Next time she will be due BSS I will have been retired for 2 years So I can get her in a much more presentable state than she is now.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
