his bro. did well, to enable him to stay at home for so long, but he was exhausted and Ken's quality of life was not great

No, that's right Martyn ... he said to Pam Friday, he'd had enough! .... went from a horse of a guy to a frail shell in days .... just gave in to the inevitable and stopped fighting it.

think the other one is a Harrison or an XYZ .... job to tell .... may have to have a trip to Port Talbot for a shufty.
nice boxes they're in too ... full side openers ... wrong bloody way round
Tyres are all cheap start bids at £1 .. spose they want 'em all gone ... disposal'd be expensive .... fair pile of crap too in amongst it all.
will give them a call tomorrow and see about a viewing .... if they went for openers i'd buy the two
the containers are all Pandora's boxes "complete with contents"
Don’t know much about that kind of thing Druid just seen it and thought of you, local enough as well. If your down at the auction let me know there’s a couple ditching buckets I’m interested in could maybe measure them up for me if ur there.
As for the containers your right some of them could be like Aladdin’s cave and others full of utter junk.

got any numbers for them Mark? ..... there don't seem to be any lot no.s as such ... just 'item numbers' ??? weird way of doing it .... unless lot numbers are yet to be allocated and added to the catalogue ??
If ...a BIG IF, ATM, I can get away for a few hours, will have a shufty at the lathes which're in Port Talbot .......
have a look see where the buckets are @Mark ? the Swansea site or the Port talbot site???

been 'some' week .... a lot to get sorted and done ....
in between appointments and phone calls, I've 'relaxed' finishing off the second area that needed some additional soil ... extending a 'flower bed' and raising the ground level a bit here, to channel run off when it pees down, away from our septic, which has been know to get flooded occasionally, when the monsoon style rain we seem to have been subject to now and again, has swamped the field above and our lawn
I'd raised the GL here a while ago, but not far enough 'up' the run of the lawn, so has been an opportunity to increase the area of it.
no sooner gt it all topped off and graded, when Squeak came tearing down the lawn, raced around it all, dug a few holes and legged it with my cursing ringing in his ears lil' bugger!!!
Up at the church yesterday, checking out the 'space' for Ken, next to his sister ... gonna be tight ...... been a while since I was last there and had forgotten just what a 'crooked' old place it is .... built on a bit of a landslip, centuries ago ... and has moved a lot over time ...
the flying buttresses, that have been there as long as I've known it, keep the tower 'put'
pix do not do the lean justice... has to really be seen to appreciate the degree of lean and of the twist down the entire length of the old place ... the other end leans and twists in the opposite direction .... significantly .. and the whole place bows like it has a broken back .... a testament to the builders, that it still stands at all .... the end in the pix above must've sunk 2-3ft, judging by the size of the very low door way inside into the tower and its cockeyed shape

That's quite... on the piss.
Spent Saturday slaving in the garden with the missus to clear the big pile of hedge I pulled out last year and was going to burn but never got round to. Filled 3 big 1T sand bags full, and took to the tip then back to fill another! We're slowly weeding the patio to sort it out again.
So it's gone from this horridly overgrown mess;
To this slightly less overgrown mess;
To this slightly less again overgrown mess;
We will get there. Just need a rotovator and some seed and we'll sort the grass out.
Sunday has been spent at Avon Valley Railway in Bitton doing a Lego display. I'm thinking of making up a proper mine scene next time
This is only a small part of our collection - I have two more big Technic sets to build still here, and we have tons of Creator Lego like the Mustang you see here, but space was limited today so I didn't bring as much! We have the Beetle, Mini, London Bus, VW Camper, Tower Bridge and the Disney Castle. Plus a few other bits and bobs!

Don't complain - suggest what's better
Hope you are taking the drema to do the business.
Guy who worked for me had done a fair few graves locally with his last employer and always said he wanted me to turn up in the walker and sort it out for him, but in the end the family decided on cremation.

Hell Gra, I'd struggle to get the Fleming in to where the hole's gotta be ....
aside from the road up to the church
... the 'Drema'd widen the lane as it went up, ... with the blade down - or up Les the local grave digger (who incidentally suffers with a very similar genetic blood disorder as me
) runs a 2 t Kub ..... thinking of ringing him to see when he's going up there to dig it ...... I wanna see HTF he gets his Kub in there the funeral director struggles to get the hearse up there .... and his limo.s are out of the question .... we all choose the smallest cars available to us ... and pile in ...... the P38'll not be in use for sure
on a side note ....... anyone else having Gmail issues this evening ... just looked on their website and it says it's down
