In Sheffield

In Sheffield at Sonia's,Mike montana is casting doubts on my mental state,I have just had a two hour driving lesson,and that would challenge anybody.
I think that its really suppressed anger about me sacking him all those years ago.that is clouding his judgement. thats all for now as i am using Sonia's lap top,and its a little different to a pc.

quiet day

Went for a paper and bumped into an old neighbour from Sheffield,they were at their holiday home,had a chat then came home to find the grass being cut on the field to the south of our kitchen window,that will disturb the wild life,it borders on to the dyke so they will all hide away in there.
Love reading the Whitefish police reports especially any related to incidents at casey's bar,keep posting them montana.
Read sonia's blog, and noticed reference to eating out in Sheffield,I think it must have seemed very expensive after the Red lion at Spilsby.
So far no Phenocane arrived but then there was no post at all today,it's a bit unreliable to say the least down here.

too good to be true?

So today read Montana mikes blog, the wondermedicine may not be all it seems!what a thing to do raising the hopes of elderly relatives in this way,we shall have to see if the trials work ,Ithink Sonia will receive hers first knowing the inadequacy of our local postmen so if she starts taking them and lives to tell the tale,yours truly will follow.
We are available to help with moving and stuff in Kansas,as we are always at a loose end,so let us know if our services are required,maybe I could even get some of the real Phenocane?
I was just reading this out for correction,but La signora had gone,talking to myself ,Is that a bad sign,she just came back and said,"who are you talking to?"is this a result of Phenocane deficiency?
Sam the pom must have MASSIVE phone bills,with that shy wife of his. Just kiddin Sandra.
Today must be ailments day,so progress report on the twisted back much better,normally it takes about 3 days,good job I'm a young man I suppose.
I think I will give up on Scything the banks on the dyke,there seems little point, and it is a haven for wild life .I must be getting soft.
Two blue tits were inspecting the nest box yesterday,I wonder if they are looking for winter quarters,surely they dont nest again in autumn? I suppose some knowledgable person out there will tell me.
Gina's pepper plant is in fine fettle and harvesting time draws near,I failed with the outside tomatoes this year,I suppose some you win some you lose ce la vie.for Italian speakers and football hooligans ,che sara sara.
Our thoughts are turning to winter Quarters, it's already getting dark early, Christmas will be bleak here on the east coast,siberian wind and such inclement conditions as prevail.
Is it to be Snowbird country again? the weather at the moment is mostly cloudy with sunny spells 65f. there is a smell of cake from the kitchen,so it could be coffee time,(wish you were here M S &M Montana?)

Webcam and stuff

Went to spilsby yesrerday met up with Alan and Vicky,no market on but we had an expensive lunch at the red lion,cama home and had a wbcam conversation with kansas,the montanas and the aussies were in kansa and we were at this end,after some short conversations the two ladies Sandra and Sonia took over the airways,I did try to interject with odd comments but was overwhelmed by a torrent of words between the two .
Today did some poster work this morning and now just relaxing a bit to rest the back strain.

week end

This weekend Sonia is visiting,weather has been ok,we are going out to spilsby monday for an expensive lunch at the red lion with Sir Alan and Lady Victoria,they are at their lincolnshire country pile for a respite from the City.
I was hoping to contact Montana Mike but he may not be back from the windy city.
Farmer joe stopped for a chat,and when asked if he was taking his dear wife to church,denied it emphatically,and said he was only going for a sunday paper.
Had an e mail from Sandra the pom and I think it was all a made up story.

Glimmer of hope

Looking out of the window at 11.15 am I feel a glimmering of hope,the sun (that elusive planet) appears to be making efforts to penetrate the clouds,I feel a bit like the kids at summer camp in the USA ,the old stan freberg record,"mudder fadder kindly disregard this letter"
Speaking of USA Montana Mike has finally come up trumps the tablets are on their way,and he need not be concerned I shall give them a go , and then its back to humping bales and suchlike exercise.
,I see from MM's blog he has been having a chat to THE CONTENDER,Liam, I wonder if he is still contending? he's lucky I am no longer in contention and the way is clear for him, I have to admit he talks a good fight,and sells a mean curtain.
The peppers are growing away merrily in the "conservative" I have just watered them,It should not be long before we are harvesting the first one, stuffed peppers Gina!
Gentleman George's construction work is going on a pace,the concrete mixer was there at 7.30 am ,looking forward to the topping out ceremony.
Our rabbit supplier should be calling soon with the results of his shooting prowess,we are not hoping for any pigeons for a while,pheasants maybe .
The weather has turned fine and sunny,been out tidying the garden and visiting Gentleman George,he looks ok and his construction job is progressing well.
Sorry to hear Mary Sue is not too good,I think she needs a nice brandy to pick her up,and Sandra should join her,its good for jetlag too.

I never felt more like singin the blues

Well! I am now into a week of snake oil ",and so nothing" as an old canadian friend would say,me and sheila have been to Laceby to morrisons supermarket,up there on the wolds lovely sunshine and then back to here its gale force winds and clouds,22c to 17c all in about 25 miles,
its enough to make you paranoid.
Montana Mike seems not to be aware of my dire financial straights when he glibly advises spending money on holidays,church mice are well off compared.
England were totally without passion for the game against Germany,3 players were worthy of the England shirt,the rest were a waste of space, oh for a Brian Clough, the present manager seems not to be able to inspire his chosen bunch of millionaires.
looking out of the window typing this the sun at last seems to fighting a battle with the clouds,hope the weather improves for Sexbomb when he visits his lincolnshire residence.
I see in comments on other blogs that Sam thePom is resisting all entreaties to become a member of the hypochondriacs club,Good on Yer Mate, a good Aussie that bloke, he's no whingin pom, this homeopathy is a load of crap too,it does'nt work.
