My waashin is oot on the line and ma brother is oot in the gairdan daeing some gairdenning wurk.

It came out in a gordie accent when I read that :rotfl:

This thread has become so educational lately - thanks for the info on Mars Jo - the youngest will be up every night in August now ...... actually I don't think I had better tell him

Enjoy the rest of the day everyone
Back to the garden now and then will try and set light to it when the bbq gets out of hand

Still AF :j:j:j

Not at home at the moment but thought id mention to BHB that i was sent an amazing picture of the different planets in relation to their size. Ill post it up later, it makes us seem very small and irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Not on the AF topic but we need to keep this level of education up to relight the brain cells that have suffered thanks to the booze! Excuse grammer and punctuation, just text this message from my phone!

No, I have not managed to get in the pool this weekend. Tthe kids have been in though. I'm still waiting for the temp to go up a couple of degrees

No if only I could figure out a way of getting the bbq to heat the water .........Anyone got an old radiator ? :rotfl:

Best Wishes
BHB xx
