.....Mowing a lawn & making this

Are they actually fire bricks? I may be telling you what you already know, but a lot of modern bricks it's not safe to get them hot; they have plastics in them and stuff. Good old fashioned Burmandtofts house-bricks you're fine up to about 1500C though

Only the very brave loiter around Burmantofts

These bricks are ancient.
I have a friend in a village who demolished a really old house & made their own pit from the same bricks and it works great.
I will be testing it & making a gulyás or a pörkölt though before the first guests arrive in June

Debating whether Allison Becker should keep his big gay Studio54 muzzy.

Though after tonight's performance it should stay until Madrid at least.

It dint go so good in spain though...but all we really have to do is f**k the Deigo's 2-0 at Anfield...'s a doddle eh Chris? if Allison can keep a clean sheet while Jota destroys 'em at the other end we're almost there! meanwhile we get to stamp on the posh brummies for some vengeance.
Life could be worse ...we could be MANCS! urghhh!

catching lions part 1) make the bait wriggle enthusiastically

fools! it only works if you trigger dose it by seguing from Teachers....AA-siding it from "Body Electric" has a much milder effect in inverse proportion to its cost (unless you use the synthetic "They Shall Not Pass" - the CNT compilation album). ask da ickle baby cheeses- he LOVES the Sisters! (even though , you won't. guaranteed.)

all this is a prelude to "frankspeech.com" going live on monday...i think its a clever and amusing word game where you exercise your conditional free speech to call God a c**t or whatever without swearing or blaspheming or wearing a Cradle Of Pissy Not-Goth shirt.*

* if thats not the game tough. thats the game i am going to play

Went down the local for a few pints , was nice just being out and seeing people .

...getting my head around the fact that I actually agree with Gary Neville for the first time. Modern football just sucks at times.

Family trees are very interesting

...smoked a lot because of Galatasaray. Man, football will give me a cancer.

Many of us know your pain. In my case it has been a very odd season being a Liverpool supporter, thankfully no Super League but also no return trip to Istanbul either. Welcome aboard.

The saddest part is that we're experiencing this damned period with our greatest-ever manager, Fatih Terim. Probably, it will his last season and will see him retired from coaching.
Thanks for empathy anyway. It would be very nice to see Liverpool back in Istanbul

thank fuck...i was that disgusted, felt that betrayed by the team i have supported for half a century that if it had gone ahead i swore i would wash my hands of them. i think i meant it as well.

chatting to my sis on the other side of the world which makes my evening's her morning's our future day. yeah get that wrapped around your minds when it's birthday times.

but her living in NZ and me in NL our time is precious and when getting older and having a mother stil alive living in SA makes life challenging at the most of times.

listening to my niece and nephew with their accents and enjoying the fase of spider man and monster trucks and the last year of primary school and how my niece is doing becoming a young teenager always does my heart good.

also i have planted seeds that will grow and have cleaned and on monday go back to the rat race.

all good things

drinking and dancing like tomorrow will never come...

god i am dreading tomorrow

....putting off ringing the housing assoc. about matters fiscal. as it happened i got a decent individual who despite a terrible grasp of the maths involved stuck with it whilst i explained it over and over again and finally agrreed with every word i said. bonus!

Drinking Pimms, making pizza and listening to the Style Council.

Cleaning windows & mosquito nets.

Similar activities here. Set up the linnen summer sun window shield to keep the flat cool when high temperatures arise ... ...
Beyond that I've watched a 5-hour conference on human rights under corona and other situations and what the lessons learnt would be from this current pandemic with regard to human rights as well as on whether patent laws ought to be revised of maybe the whole system of whether health issues should be a part of the economic process at all etc .... fairly interesting. I only wish at least half of all the good ideas were to get addressed some time soon ... *sigh.

Inventing new swear word combinations as my total inability to do any form of DIY plastering has resurfaced. Luckily, an old friend is a master of the dark art and I can politely pass him the coffee and beer.

Sitting in the sun and drinking beer .

Playing cards and eating cake in the garden with my parents ... unlike me, they're fully vaccinated ...

Enjoying AZ Jab 2 in the air conditioned splendour of my GP Surgery.

well technically not today but yesterday I defended my dissertation and passed with minor changes. I worked so much and so hard on this I am so so happy really. still a while before I get my degree cause the UK system is a bit complicated with this but I will be awarded soon enough. freaking fantastic:)
