Fitter's mate.



This weekend I have been back on The Hill here in BS5. It had been a long week away at stores, but then the view from one such store is as per the picture of the waterfall. It is at Lake Vernwy in Mid Wales.

Anyhow, back on the Hill, I was fitter's mate for my friend Tony. Between us we put new frames on the window of the church vestry. The frames keep the protective wire in place so that youthful hooligans don't smash the lead framed windows. The task took quite some time but it was satisfying to complete the job.

I am off again tomorrow on the train up to Silverdale which is just on the edge of the Lake District. I am there overnight and then on to Teeside before heading on to Bedfordshire and Northants later in the week. I have my laptop sussed now and apparently one can get on line on the train so I may Blog on the move tomorrow!

Is that anywhere near Rhyader? Some nice memories of there.

Good to see you back. Don't slack off on the blogging, fella -- it's one of my morning rituals to read your latest post over coffee and cereal. And hold my head in my hands.

You know you can post to Blogger from your Blackberry, right?

I was expecting some new toaster action!

And how come your bro' is banned from using the words 'chick' and 'bird'?!!!

Hey thanks for that - I am chuffed that my Blog is part of your day. The place with the waterfall is a little north of Ryader but it also reminded me of there straight away!

Sub - toaster to follow.

Well, Suburbia, Dandelion feels they are somehow patronizing and sexist. But I'm glad you see no problem there, my good woman. (That was a 'patronizing' joke by the way!

Hi D'ang, perhaps she could mention the matter to BS5? Though there is no chance now he has the RSPB excuse!
