What's on your mind?
martinrowe: There's a Roy Harper tribute song right there. Sept 3, 2021 23:18:54 GMT
ocarolan: When an old whisky drinker leaves the bar... Sept 5, 2021 12:20:48 GMT
robmc: ... and walks straight into the bar on the other side of the road. Sept 5, 2021 13:35:09 GMT
minorkey: Slide is ridiculously fun! Sept 5, 2021 16:22:11 GMT
walkingdecay: The swings aren't bad either. Sept 6, 2021 16:23:02 GMT
walkingdecay: One of the local foxes has made him or herself a playground with found items at the end of our garden. There are shredded plastic flower pots, a mauled frisbee, a washing liquid widget, a disemboweled tennis ball - and an onion. Sept 7, 2021 23:21:08 GMT
martinrowe: You could move the swings and slide down there Sept 8, 2021 7:34:51 GMT
walkingdecay: Yep. They would probably take a while to chew up. Sept 8, 2021 16:19:15 GMT
curmudgeon: Watching the run up to F1 Sprint race with subtitles on -Just seen "Mercedes" interpreted as "Miss Sadie's - Well toto - thats the name of your team now!! Sept 11, 2021 13:53:54 GMT
walkingdecay: A few weeks ago I would have agreed that having had a heat pump installed was essentially an act of old hippie wilfulness and that it hadn't been worth the considerable disruption. This morning it feels like it was a very good move. Sept 20, 2021 8:09:33 GMT
martinrowe: 'The Whole Earth Catalog' here we come. Sept 21, 2021 16:28:06 GMT
walkingdecay: Always confused me, that. I can think of fewer more awkward spaces to occupy than a geodesic dome. Sept 21, 2021 17:05:09 GMT
walkingdecay: There, you've got me worrying about people who live in geodesic domes now, and more specifically what must happen when they try to lean a guitar against the wall. Sept 21, 2021 19:52:59 GMT
martinrowe: :) Sept 21, 2021 20:10:29 GMT
robmc: The raison d'etre of geodesic domes is to stop people leaning guitars against walls :naughty: you could ask Buckminster Fuller if he were still with us but he has sadly passed on to the great dome in the sky. Sept 23, 2021 10:22:58 GMT
davewhite: If you had an Ovation - or a lute - you'd probably be OK 8-) Sept 23, 2021 16:56:58 GMT
walkingdecay: Or a really big kettle drum, which might even obviate the building itself.(Dome in the sky - I like it.) Sept 23, 2021 23:04:40 GMT
otis1960: I haven’t had an Ovation since I was 19; they were a lovely audience that night Sept 25, 2021 10:26:00 GMT
walkingdecay: Oh, that's splendidly bad. Congrats. Sept 26, 2021 7:23:29 GMT
walkingdecay: Trapped in a room with Strictly Come Dancing on for the first time in years. Fortunately a former bandmate was also confined, so we had a good time ripping in to its bloody awful band. Sept 26, 2021 8:26:05 GMT
