January 13, 20179 yr bugga - its that foreign timeline thing !!! xxx stick another candle on your cake from me
January 13, 20179 yr Thank you one and all for your very kind wishes! The day is going well. Started with breakfast in bed accompanied by a 5 man band of grandchildren outside the window giving Iron Maiden, and my lugs, a good thrashing! Then we had the usual morning chore of shovelling snow followed by a sauna and a roll in the snow (not a euphemism - honest)! We required hot coffee and something stronger to warm up - purely for medicinal purposes. One can't be too careful at my age. Now whiling away the last hour before my guests arrive and the serious partying begins. Hangover cures welcome tomorrow. Thanks again to everyone ... and Eggy 'Tack ska du ha' ... and Moe - yes they do, don't they. ... Foxy - I'll deal with you later!

January 14, 20179 yr Thanks Brian. Not feeling too bad this morning - or what's left of it - apart from Iron Maiden thrashing about in my head. Eggy, thanks for the hangover cures! I've already done: a lie in tea AND coffee AND water a hair of the cat (haven't got a dog) chocolate banana I'll have the fresh air after the roast dinner and the fry up. Definitely going to make some of those glow-stick thingummies when we shovel snow tomorrow. I missed today's shovelling - ashamed face.
January 16, 20179 yr you should try the ultimate hangover cure - the yodellburger I discovered this in Belfast after copious amounts of bush mills and guinness It consists of a tripe sandwich with a runny egg on top the clue is in the name...
January 16, 20179 yr greggs best - although those floury white buns add a certain substance and texture - and if you want some roughage go for the multi seeded types

February 16, 20179 yr Thanks HPW. A thowt it had been a bit quiet roond heor lately. Hope ya on the mend noo.
February 17, 20179 yr canny lass - forgive the lower case.. have bought some husky axes and felling axes and splitting mauls -- soooo sharp and wonderful balance - nice xxxx
February 20, 20179 yr It was wonderful help - Its half term here so used the opportunity to lay down 8 tonne of gravel in a grotto we use for the camp fires. (we are in an ex convent) the kids loved doing it, especially with the quads and trailers whizzing about! Then we took the opportunity to sort some wood out for the fires - there was only one casualty - er a leader who wondered how sharp these new axes were - I think I might have to revisit the whole safety thing !!!!! But after an hour or so of use the hatchets were still as sharp as they started out - lovely bit of Swedish steel.
February 20, 20179 yr Glad you like them! Don't forget to clean and hone a little after every use, particularly if you are using them on pine trees. The resin plays havoc with the sharpness. Bit of turps or an alcohol hand wipe gets rid of it nicely so that you don't get a build up. The latter is easy to have with you in your first aid kit - along with the elastoplasts.
