was in Cribbs - 1st time in years - last year, the day I went over to view the Ajax ... Pam came for the ride - and the retail therapy sesh ..... saw the Tesla showroom and was shocked at how small the car was ... couldn't say I was impressed either ... and'll be a long time 'fore I rely on the 'energiser bunny' to get me from A to B :rolleyes::unsure::LOL: .....
was a 'spensive day that, 'tween the milling machine shop and the jewellers, where Pam found just what she'd been looking for, for ages :oops::oops: ... but she's worth it :rolleyes::giggle: ... has been awesome the last few weeks .. yet again !! (y):cool:
Apart from the poker up the rear end for the phone screen and a chicken lunch in Nando’s I couldn’t part with any cash! We did look at some very expensive watch’s but the reality was as we haven’t been in a shopping mall for a long time my wife said “no wonder online works” if you can shop from your arm chair! Which judging by the number of delivery vans in our quiet little lane, everyone else is at it!

aye we're partial to a Nandos too :giggle: .....
totally agree on the armchair shopping ... rarely have to resort to going looking for anything, other than in the ether .... only three properties here, but there's usually a courier/carrier's van here daily to one or the other of us ....
neither of us are what you'd call 'shoppers' .. we go, we buy what's required, we return :giggle: (with maybe a trough session in between);) ... f*** wandering aimlessly round shops for the hell of it ..... unless it's a really big shop I can usually survey all I want to see from the doorway :LOL: .. unless I'm on a mission.
Did need a new suit ... but after The Heath's 'intervention' recently, I think what I already have'll fit again :rolleyes::mad:

Don't complain - suggest what's better
We had a couple of intense bands of hail come through, but too warm and damp for it to accumulate for more than a few minutes. Been pretty wet as well.

Been digging footings at my own house the last few days and luckily we are on sand/gravels, in places it’s literally dust!! The best draining ground I have ever seen, not complaining as the last one I did was in running sand which wasn’t fun!!

Same round here. Farmers are moaning, but it was only a few months ago we were getting flooding. What with weird weather and the virus, the end of the world is nigh!
I have a theory on this one ... Druid's theory of Weathertivity :ROFLMAO:

What we are currently experiencing is the sort of spring we had when i was a kid ... proper spring weather, followed by proper summers.
there is no question in my mind that this all has to do with the lack of aircraft, polluting above us and the lack of ground traffic these last several weeks .... air quality is without doubt, seriously improved ... can 'smell the grass' round here :rolleyes:

Heathrow on its own handles over half a million flights annually .... add it up globally ... there's a **** of a lot of aircraft in the skies constantly dumping unburnt kero and kero fumes, plus the kero dumps they have to make, to land with the right amounts of fuel on board .... what goes up must come down.
35 million cars in the UK ... globally WTF is that figure :rolleyes::oops: all pushing s**t into the atmosphere. These last few weeks have given our planet's atmosphere a window of opportunity to heal/recover, with virtually zero negative inputs from the virus affecting it, called the human race

Yes when I was a kid we had aircraft and cars, etc., but nothing like on the scales we have now ... I'm talking early 60s
I am convinced that what we are currently enjoying, weather wise is a return to a more natural, un-hindered/affected cycle of natural weather pattern ............now where is me tin hat :rolleyes: :unsure::giggle:
