the ghost train

Enclosed a photo of 2 elderly ladies waiting for the famous Ghost Train to open,however their wait was in vain as it appears the owner was having a lie in!!

This morning whilst writing the blog, I felt a sharp stab in my toe,on removing my slipper a black beetle fell out,the beetle is now dead,after receiving a battering from said slipper.

Montana Mike please note,this is much more serious than being chased by a Big Rabbit(Marmot)leaving off blog to get ready for a trip to the market.

Well!visited the market at spilsby,La Signora bought some video's for £1. some of which can be thrown away,others may be worth watching. On our return there was a phone call from Preston Lilly,those SHARKS the car insurance company are once again up to their old tricks.

Weaseling out of paying as is their wont.We stopped to assist an old chap who had fallen off his bike,and couldn't get to his feet,we asked him if he was hurt,but he replied No! but I cant get this rucksack off my back,its full of potatoes,and its weighing me down ,I helped him across the road to his house,and returned to the car,in which three of us were then rather naughtily ,hilarious with laughter.

This is absolutely true and not one of my imaginative stories.

Thats it for Monday,and to my two blog readers please feel free to comment in your normal constructive way.

more boring stuff

Today,we are walking on the beach with our new lodger(Susan),yesterday at the barbie was quite good,we had sunshine ,booze,and lots of things to eat of a nature to fill vegetarians with horror,Susan joined us late but settled into the proceedings at once.


Made a good contact with our host ,Martin's shooting partner,he promised us some rabbits,which will be easier than plucking pigeons.


La signora joined in the games ,and it was nice to meet up with some more of the local inhabitants of the prairie.Yesterday am. finally hooked up with Sexbomb on the video/ audio link,he was slightly delayed fixing his smile(he knows what I refer to)we shall probably be out and about with our semi permanent guest ,in the next few days,Spilsby market Monday,and cheap grub at the red lion pub.


Mike and Mary Sue Montana sent us a nice photo of the exterior of Caseys Bar in Whitefish,I look forward to having a drink there next year,however the Montanas were it seems ,a little reluctant to do a trial run,could this be due to the frequent appearance of said establishment in the Whitefish Police Department incident log?


On the agricultural front,local farmers are hard at it harvesting before the Monsoon starts again,tractors are trundling past the little house on the prairie,night and day.

The sisters have been window shopping and tentatively looking at the ghost train,back for lunch after buying a video from a charity shop,a rip off at £1.oo

We watched a funny video last night",Commitment",based on a Roddy Doyle story set in Dublin,I can recommend it,but there is much swearing involved,(I was a lttle offended myself) thats todays lie used up!. The hired help(Susan) has been set to ironing,and we have allowed her to play music very loudly during this little task.Thats about it for this session,I shall report on our "Exciting " visit to Spilsby on Monday.

NEW SHED

Today,with the help of Norman,went and dismantled Shed,Bob the goose came with his truck , and we loaded it on. 4 over 60's ,there 's life in the old dogs yet!This afternoon was spent putting down a base,its a real joy for it not to be raining.Just chillin with a Becks german beer,and waiting for our visitor from Sheffield,big day saturday,THE BARBECUE,this seems to be akin to the North dakota Hayrides.I understand there may be alcohol,I shall try to force some down.Montana Mike's video was good Marmots and Goats attacking him,I didn't laugh ,,,Honest!

lighter shade of grey

Today the sky is a shimmering array of greys! and there is an occasional spattering of raindrops upon the window pane,and rather breezy,we are visitng the local trout farm this afternoon.


I was hoping to sit in the sun for a while today,but this may be a forlorn hope.


On the bright side, we are told by the media that summer will commence on the 15th of August,(can't wait),harvesting of the rape seed looks to be on hold,as is haymaking,its now raining heavily ,but forecast for weekend is promising.We have avisitor this weekend,who normally brings good weather,I think we shall be taking her along to the barbecue.There could be lots of locally culled wildlife on the menue,as one of the hosts is rather a good shot with his 12 bore rifle,

to literary critics

To all my literary critics,pick the flies out of this.
Oggi gia fatto una viaggia fino a la citta di Boston,dove abbiamo comprato,2 sedie.Non sono per noi,ma sono un regalo per una di nostra famiglia.Ora scrivo in Inglese.
We visited Boston today,where I tried to purchase,Phenocane,I was told it's probably an American thing,and the lady in the health shop thinks it may not be available over the counter here,but probably the internet is the tool I should choose to obtain it.
This evening I shall endeavour to purchase the aforementioned medication via the net.
May I take this opportunity to point out to"Montana Mike" that there is a vast difference between,Carpenter and Joiner,as those of us who have worked in construction well know.
The wonderful English weather came up trumps yet again ,and showers were the order of the day,this evening may once again be taken up with another hilarious webcam conversation,with Sexbomb who is back in residence at Alan Towers.
The forecast for thursday is wet!so lots to look forward to there.thats all folks!

tuesday a sunny day!!

Tuesday morning the sun is out and here is a picture to prove it,took me hours to put the picture on,and still cant remember how I did it.11am,and clouds are already bubbling up!I have not looked at the weather forecast yet.(no news is good news)we have visitors arriving today from the BIG CITY,La Signora has gone to get eggs from the farm,Montana holidaymakers please note,free range eggs.hope you like the borage field in sunlight,this is a better view in reality than the photo shows.I am trying to use correct English,as "PrestonLilly "was very critical of my literary efforts,I still consider we had a better education in our village school than todays kids get, watched university challenge last night,got about 50percent of the answers right, my dad was right when he said I was a clever b####r! I need to contact bob the goose about using his pick up to fetch another shed for erection at the little house on the prairie,but am waitng for improvement in a pulled muscle.Sexbomb is returning at weekend I hope the weather is ok by then.he tells me via the net that he can buy a mike/webcam at poundland Meadowhall(FOR A POUND??)more later,

woke up to the blues

Monday morning woke up 5am.sunrising over the sea,went back to sleep and woke up to the blues, !! yesterday saw a very topical quote in the paper from the poet Longfellow:
"Thy fate is the common fate of all/Into each life some rain must fall".so here on the prairie,its taking him at his word .and surprise surprise,,,its now raining,hence the blues.but the ducks are enjoying it ,so their cloud has a silver lining.looked at photo,s from montana,OK for some!!I read the police reports from Whitefish MT,they always give us a laugh.Must save pennies to make a trip there,Caseys bar looks the place to be.keep the reports coming
M&MS.the Rocky mountains look like Val Chisone in italy where I have some paintings on permanent show, at miniera Paola,a Talcum powder mine,no its not a made up thing..they do mine Talc.should be convenient when they start sweating.sky looks to be brightening up, so La Signora is heading for the shops,we had fireworks last night over the coast following the red arrows flying display.my old friend maurice would have enjoyed the red arrows,he tries to emulate them in a cessna,but not with much success! farmer joe was splashing out on ice cream yesreday according to his comment,paying game this duck farming,
