Here at Sheila's indian restaurant its all systems go,I am busy doing posters to involve the good citizens of Sheffield in church activities,will this rescue me from the fiery furnace? of course not but I may get the warehouse job and escape the coal shoveling.
I notice Montana Mike is playing golf with a partner he refers to as jc, surely it can't be
THE J.C.!!!!
Here on a more materialistic note the weather is typical English Wind Rain Clouds with patches of lighter grey.
Home alone again Montana,it must be something you are saying to your fellow residents, it pays not to upset waiters and especially cooks as I know only too well from my inebriate ramblings in a certain Kansas City steakhouse.
We are expecting Susan this weekend but so far she has not arrived,I shall have to put extra beer in the fridge ready for when she gets here,luckily she has a dislike of whisky,so my "medication" is safe.
Montana Mike asks if I have flights booked for Fla. but I am trying to save up for a little longer
and I am sure the Dogs will want a little quiet time between Sandra the Pom and Me visiting.

THE TROPHY
After much trial and error and Flippin ecks I have managed to get a photo of THE TROPHY on
to my blog this is the cup Sheila came in with last night from the Charades contest at the WI
She was on a massive adrenalin high and came in brandishing THE TROPHY and BRAUNGIN!
for those not conversant with the Rotherham dialect,that translates as Bragging, its a bit
Wednesdayite if they finally manage to win a game at the 7th attempt of trying.,they
"Braunge".
Its all gearing up for the curry night here lots of coming and going with large pans .
The weather is wintry with a cold north sea onshore wind blowing in rain showers
I shall now attempt to take another photo to put on Sheila's blog,so thats it for now.

EARIWIGGI GO!! EARIWIGGI GO! EARIWIGGI GO!!.
I have no pictures for the darts match,took a couple but they were too dark so words only.
It was a very entertaining for spectators!! Sheila won one and lost one so not a bad result for her first game,the standard of play was not of premiership level but with practice could improve,(lot of practice) one contestant was Mrs. Broccoli who in her formative years in the mining communities of warwickshire was a Javelin thrower!!I am assured this is true,she also drinks eariwiggi coffee,it seems she had a coffee at weightwatchers and in the bottom of the cup was an earwig the warwickshire pronunciation is "eariwiggi" to be said with a brummy accent.
The reserve team were mainly immigrants to the area,and the locals were in the main the first team.
The homesick Sheffielder Doreen tried valiantly as did all of (MY) team,the local BIG HITTERS were really rather serious about it all and later all the ladies devoured chips and sandwiches,including the two weightwatchers Mrs Broccoli and Dee Daa Doreen(the homesick one.
The scores were in the main fairly low and so the Games were rather lengthy,in fact the president of the WI was becoming worried as she promised to be home for 8.30.and it was around 10.45 by this time.
The area around the board was a little pitted toward the end of the evening,causing the Landlord to ask "does anyone know a good plasterer".
Due to the number of low scoring throws the Scorer had to ask for more chalk to be supplied.the average throw would score around 30. but big oaks from little acorns grow, and it gets the girls away from the soaps on telly.
It also gives sarcastic buggers like me the chance to take liberties in my reporting,but as my old pal Moshe Jones would say"its all part of lifes rich tapestry"
The only worry now is repetitive strain injury,so we shall have to find a good physio.

Weekend of Excitement
Saturday we visited Gentleman George's palatial residence,he had been out and played 4 holes at golf,which was good news as he has'nt been up to golfing for some months,he asked me to saw the top off a tree stump so he can fix a bird table on it ,he presented me with a saw out of the ark,never had oil on the blade,me and Sheila gave it a try but could have had more impact with a nail file,I went home and brought my saw which did the job ok.
His building extension is well on now and will make the stately residence even grander.
Today Sunday went up to the village for a paper and posted a letter,came back and had bacon egg mushrooms and tomatoes!!!(free range eggs) this latter comment for Montana Mike's benefit,but true all the same, 4 hens look as if they have escaped and were enjoying the run of the prairie,came home and cut a privet hedge well back ,breaking off to watch 2 football matches on sky,West Ham v Newcastle good open game which Newcastle won 3.1 but the game was more even than the score suggests.
4pm. watched the Man U v Chelsea game Manchester won 1.0 but the ref spoiled the game by sending off a chelsea player for a yellow card tackle , I think Man U would have shaded it though had he stayed on.
Tomorrow I have to go to the DARTS MATCH at the Turks Head Pub ,I have been made an accredited reporter for World Class Coaching Kansas City, and have to report to Montana Mike on the Match,I think I may take the camera and get pics as well.
Had an instant message conversation with Dave Dawes who was waitng for a delivered bacon sandwich and probably salivating at the prospect ,she likes her grub does Dave.
Now an evening of television viewing is in prospect one can have too much excitement.
Thats it for now.

Wet to Dry
Just arrived back from Gina's at Preston left in torrential rain as we always do massive hold ups on the M62 till we arrived on the yorkshire side of the pennines from there no rain and little traffic,that motorway is not only the highest in Britain its one of the worst to drive on.
We inspected the house they are looking to buy along with Andrews parents,general opinions were it was ok, needs decorating to their tastes but does'nt seem too much wrong,so they need to have a survey done and proceed from there.
Poppy the kitten has twice pinched the little pineapple plant we took she appears not to like pot plants,not into gardening it seems,and yet she has'nt disturbed a basil plant ,it may be the strong scent is something cats don't like.
Thats about it for now Sheilas big day on monday DARTS at the Turk's Head pub!!!

Preston West End
Here at Preston,RAINING well it is Lancashire,Sheila brought a pineapple plant for gina but Poppy the kitten seems to dislike pot plants and has taken it into the other room to play with leaving soil strewn across the floor!Sheila just called from the kitchen,Poppy has done it again,so have repotted it but it may not survive.
We are left to entertain ourselves till Gina comes home around 2.30 from work,trains are trundling past over the road on their way to blackpool,but today it is probably a dismal sight in the rain.
Montana Mike is claiming injury I know he is playing Sam the pom at golf this weekend,is this a tactical ploy or is it an excuse to use in the event of losing?

Weasel have rain !
Today not done much, been to the village garage with La Signora,she has closed the bookings for the curry night,so we went to remove the ad, from the garage,I checked the air on the tyres,then came back to the little house while sheila did the shopping.
sat in the "conservative" and watched a weasel struggling across the grass with a large mouse in its mouth,it might have been a stoat,because it looked about 12 inches long,but I couldn't see if it had a white underbelly.
Its very dry down here and the preparation work for planting is creating clouds of dust,we have avoided it up to now but Gentleman Farmer George looks to be in direct line of fire.
some showers are forecast and the farmers will be happy about that,but not so good for yours truly,who likes hot dry weather.
Watched a programme about the mafioso they caught in Sicily,we know most of the places featured and it set us off wanting to go.
Spring is the best time there lots of wildflowers and greenery which all burns up in the summer. leaving everywhere ochre and black.
Tonight I am home alone and guess what,there is no football on sky tv!!
I think montana mike may have rigged his scales he claims to have lost weight,but is eating loads of organic rubbish????
Visiting Gina for her birthday so cross country drive is in the offing, and viewing of proposed house purchase.
Last night must have been cosa nostra night Sopranos was on ,and it seems that the actor who plays Tony Soprano is not a very nice bloke in real life.

Owls need to Wise Up
Watched the Liverpool game yesterday,I think the manager left out key players to have them fresh for midweek european football,I thought Liverpool were on top most of the game but failed to score,still a draw away is not bad.Rotherham beat Wrexham away and United won at home so Ian who lives in the village will be happy ,he travels up for all the home games,true blade.
Jamie was also there with the two lads,he is indoctrinating them at an early age,only the poor beleagured Wednesdayites not happy this bright sunny Sunday lincolnshire morning.
It was the Mablethorpe Marathon today,but we did'nt go to watch it,went last year to support Muneer but he is injured this year,and its not as good to watch as to take part.
Oh yes for anyone who does'nt know the result of the Preston v Wednesday game
Preston 1 Wed. 0 oh dear......its quite a nice place Preston not least because our Gina lives there.
Spent most of last night looking at flight options in January re Florida/Kansas.how can it be cheaper to fly to Florida and the up from there to Kansas ,than to fly direct to Kansas??
I think car hire has gone up since last year but I suppose a Lincoln town car is a bit big for 2 people,not sure about American models ie which one would be ok for us two,but I am sure that Mike Montana can offer advise on this.
Looks to me as if Sonia has eaten all the chocolate and biscuits orignally destined for Kansas!!

Break a Leg!!if only they had
Not a lot happening,we went to the theatre but I'm not big on musicals so bit boring,dinner was ok .
Looks like preston lily is back on the house purchasing ladder,she sent us some info on the net,it looks good but they have to be seen in reality to judge.
Spent all yesterday afternoon scything the brush from around the fencing about 100yards of it ,but it looks better now and lets air get to the fence.
Farmer George says the rodents are active looking for winter quarters so the rifle is in use,think i got a couple but not sure,as the pilots in world war 2 would say"not a confirmed hit jonny old chap"
Football is on today Portsmouth v Liverpool kick off 12.45,might watch it,if so I will pass comment later,biased of course.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY SUE try and eat loads of non organic stuff,and drink loads of booze!
Graham and Sheila
On a serious note we can't make it for Christmas but are looking into New Year,Today took our car in for mot test minor failure which repair cost loads part not much,these blokes charge mega labour prices.but it means we can get another years motoring before considering buying a new car
We had a nice sit in the park reading and cappucino,while we were waiting for the garage to phone us,it was lovely weather,and mothers and toddlers were enjoying the slides and stuff,the mothers dont yet know about TEENAGERS
The park was flooded during the crazy rain storms we had,but its back in working order now and looks good.
Went for a chat about tomorrows outing to the theatre with our neighbours
gentleman George and Lady Ann,all sorted,Graham is the chauffer!
Yesterday went up to Sheffield to deliver some work,and had lunch at a chinese buffet,Sheila enjoyed it very much,I found it ok but not as good as the Mongolian at Seminole Florida.
We parked up and rode the tram into town,coming back we got on the wrong tram but put it right and finished up back at the car,then two hours drive home with a car load of books,and I mean a car load.

Ladies that Booze!
The Maltby le Marsh "Ladies that Booze" W I darts team,enjoying an alcohol free practice and were caught in the act by yours truly,who did imbibe a small batemans bitter,the lincolnshire beer.
These girls are potential champions in the WI darts league,they just need a little practice.
Well I enjoyed the practice,tons better than watching TV,and far superior entertainment.
On the way back through the village we stopped at the house of the second from right young lady and raided her orchard for plums,pears,apples,and figs but the figs were not quite ready.
Oh the excitement of country life I am sure townies are really jealous,we discussed septic tanks and things of that ilk,its great.
Checked Farmer Joe's spread and bumped into Patrick the tramp,he's been given a brand new fluorescent jacket,it should be loppy in a couple of days ,placing him under threat from manic drivers.

Sunday Special
Finished posters this morning,went for sunday paper before the weekenders flooded the roads into Mablethorpe,there is lots of ploughing in progress at the moment,and I saw a dust devil today,the soil is very dry ,visited the elderly at the caravan site, and received all the latest on who has died of a heart attack,3 this year!!
Had a little shooting practice this afternoon hit the target accurately.but definitely not in the market for a hit job on Montana's dogs.
Nice whisky cake in the glass case,but If Mick is reading this it's all gone,and anyway they are baby sitting for my ex protege in Sheffield.
Loads of e mails from Sexbomb,he is back on line in Alan Towers.
The pepper plant is going great guns and must surely be harvested sooner if not later.
Still not sure where to look for winter escape,Montana says it is expensive in California,I suppose it will have to be Florida again,but last years weather there was poor,though we did have a good time with Gina and Andrew drinking Margarita's,and had a good time with the Montanas in Kansas City,great steaks and good red wine helped a lot to temper the midwest climate,we also were ensconced in the Queen Mother suite which was temporarily unoccupied at the time,and had the two daft dogs to play with if we got bored.
Thats about it for today folks .

England 3 Israel 0
Missed the coffee morning at thevillage hall,had a large order for posters so I had to stay at home and work on them,should finish them Sunday,would be nice to have enough money to retire,travel and see the world.
Bit of a shaggy dog story on montana mike's blog billy is causing a few problems on the house selling front.
Sexbomb has gone back to Alan Towers and correctly forecast the England Israel game score,hope he had a bet on it.
I had big reservations about Heskey playing,but he came up with a good performance,but he did squander a couple of good scoring chances,my tip for the top came good again(Micah Richards) and scored a goal.
its all down to beating the Russians on wednesday now.

Jam on toast
This morning dawned bright and sunny,went on the bike for a paper,took bottles to recycling bins, destroying all evidence of boozing.
Jean and Norman called in at lunchtime on their way to their caravan ate us out of house and home! Norman said something like" jyncfre hfteu nidjh" or at least it sounded like that.
I laid some flag stones in the garden then had a sit in the sun with Sheila Norman and Jean.
Tried the Jam on toast this morning ,very nice,and all the better for being partially free,only the sugar to buy.
Had a fairly big order for some posters today so that should keep me busy over the weekend
YES I shall once again be working on the sabbath,but days off in the week make up for it.
I think Sexbomb is returning to Alan Towers in burngreave today,we would have gone to Boston on Wednesday but I had a rush job of posters ,so we missed out on the all you care to eat chinese buffet which we usually go to wth them.
The Montanas are busy trying to sell the Kansas City spread and it all looks a bit hectic for them at the moment.
That poor Rotherham lad is under the cosh again at high green,regarding the quality of his driving but we can take it us natives of that lovely picturesque town on the River Rother.

scrumping
Today painted some posters for a london customer,and then went to Louth to pay in a cheque,a real labour of love ,we bought some fruit in the farmers market then back to little house on the prairie.
After a sumptuous repast at lunch time(cheese sandwich) went to our neighbour Gentleman Farmer George,whilst the ladies discussed W I matters and George cut his acres of grassland,
I explored the wood and found some sloes and damsons which I decided required a little scrumping in the end the four of us were involved ,Graham up the ladder and three offering advice,end result was a little job for the two WI stalwarts(JAM but no Jerusalem)
Local paper featured Patrick Mower the actor who is apparently a near neighbour 6 miles is near in the country,he is currently acting in the Emmerdale soap,Sandra the Pom is it seems a big fan of the programme.
Weather has been nice and warm all day very pleasant.
Prospects for the football international on saturday don't look good Heskey is rumoured to be playing...???? not looking good.

EGGYTHUMP
Yesterday Monday little to report,we went up to louth did a little shopping,bumped into Mick and Peggy Rotherham in Wilkinsons,Mick has dipensed with the stick so things are on the up for him,he claims to have squeezed the whisky out of the cake before eating it,(it's a Rotherham thing)
Today tuesday read Sonia's blog and spotted a very interesting Photo of a young fellow who looks absolutely worn out he obviously needed a power nap.
Donations toward sending him on a well earned sunshine holiday would be gratefully accepted,but PLEASE NO COINS.
Cycled to mablethorpe for a paper and took some bottles for recycling ,came back and read the sport page ,on which subject watched a game between Blackpool and Hull on sky last night,hull forward was carried off with a serious looking injury ,not something you like to see happen,lets hope he recovers ok.
I have been "volunteered" for a couple of WI events,they had a committee meeting last night as a result I am commited to attending two events.
Montana has got a new food fad EGGS! it's the future a bit like garlic bread as recommended by Peter kay the lancashire comedian.
Weather today is Sunny but a bit cool,which leads me into hot Sunny places,Gina's trip to Crete is fast approaching for those not able to make the trip,I can recommend a couple of good books based on the Island by ,Nikos Kasantzakis, Zorba the Greek, and The Fratricides, and as usual anyone seeing only the film will say the book was better.
Have been looking at Calfornia as a winter sun destination any information on it would be helpfull.

Football report
This morning I defied the scriptures and did a poster,however I may be excused because it was for a church in Sheffield,pure hypocrisy.
Some people have no scruples where money is involved.
This afternoon I watched Arsenal v Portsmouth,very one sided game ,portsmouth allowed them to play and were outclassed,fancy football but not one Englishman in the Arsenal side!
The second game was Aston Villa vChelsea, Villa were battling the whole game and came out winning 2-0 I was rooting for them and it was a good outcome because it leaves Liverpool up there(everybodys favourite team)I do have a tenuous link to Liverpool our Herbert 's grandmother was Liverpool Irish(for those not in the know Herbert was my dad.)
Montana seems to think I had an alcohol induced hallucination when I described a lady on a white horse riding by the little house,but it was an actual incident,I'm sure Farmer Joe will have seen her too,he does have an eye for the ladies,though in the past they have mainly been female bovines.
Gina is counting the days to her departure for a cretian idyll, Andrew thinks it is an it conference,but he is being culturaly challenged , ruins and stuff for the uneducated reader

The second game was Aston Villa vChelsea, Villa were battling the whole game and came out winning 2-0 I was rooting for them and it was a good outcome because it leaves Liverpool up there(everybodys favourite team)I do have a tenuous link to Liverpool our Herbert 's grandmother was Liverpool Irish(for those not in the know Herbert was my dad.)
Montana seems to think I had an alcohol induced hallucination when I described a lady on a white horse riding by the little house,but it was an actual incident,I'm sure Farmer Joe will have seen her too,he does have an eye for the ladies,though in the past they have mainly been female bovines.
Gina is counting the days to her departure for a cretian idyll, Andrew thinks it is an it conference,but he is being culturaly challenged , ruins and stuff for the uneducated reader

Back on the prairie
Here we are back on the prairie,had a nice couple of days at Sonia and Michaels,met up with all the" quiet "sisters and spouses ,also Dino.not seen him for a couple of years,he looks in good shape,and is off to USA for a holiday,got his e mail address so will be in touch .
Tormented Naomi a little bit but not too much as it was her birthday bash,she was a little stingy with the cake though.
Gentleman George has returned a walking stick I loaned him(through the letterbox)!!I suppose he has got himself a gold tipped one with a whisky flask in the handle.
Montana Mike is off the rails he's eating DONUTS!not a good Idea next it will be Beer and stuff,where will it all end?
On a positive note we watched Sheffield Wednesday losing at home,How some of us laughed,others present were not so amused,Dino was particularly amused as he is a Leeds fan,a legacy of when he used to go wth me and Sheila to watch them.
It all seems a little congested up in the big city amazing how soon you get used to a different environment.
A young lady has just gone by on a big white horse,not many of them in Burngreave.
