Winston Churchill used to build walls for relaxation. He was an old war horse but he did leave nettles to grow for butterflies. Somehow that made him seem more ordinary.

I love it that people know these sort of odd but interesting facts :T:T:T

Yesterday sounded like a very good day :j:T:j

So pleased the wall is still standing, how high will it be by the end of the day?

only 2 breeze blocks high - that's how high it's getting :rotfl: :rotfl:

Just been out and given it a good kick - and it's still standing :rotfl: :rotfl:

LOL. I can remember all sorts of useless things but often can't remember what day of the week it is. :rotfl:

Phew reading this is exhausting! I hope you do manage to rest too!

Churchill sounded like a lovely bloke, thank you triciaxx for the lovely bit of info.

Wow! Energy levels here sky high, I am lost in admiration. Especially when I'm looking at that wall

Welcome back KC! :T :T

Energy levels are indeed sky high today :T :T :T

Had another GORGEOUS day, although slightly less hectic yesterday (and we were told off for not lining our trolley up properly in Aldi, and not packing our shopping quickly enough :eek: :mad: Shan't bother going there again - I only went because we were on that side of town for something else, and I was convinced it was a Lidl, and when we got to it and it wasn't, I had no idea where Lidl was :rotfl: :rotfl:)

Anyway, rest of the day at the free city-wide music festival thing has been gorgeous :T :T Just got back home after camping out in the park for a few hours :j :j :j How lovely :j :j

Quick cuppa - then going to build the rest of the wall! :rotfl: No rest for the wicked :rotfl: :rotfl:

(MUST remember I'm at work tomorrow, and heading up to the far north (well, past Durham anyway :eek:), so need to make lunch and get everything ready tonight!)

Lovely place Durham. I met Sir Bobby Charlton on a train to Durham. He looked after me by taking my laptop case and suitcase and putting them on the rack and then scooting me in to sit by the window while he sat next to me. Lovely man.

Does indeed sound like a lovely man cheri! :T

I'm planning on head down and working on the train, rather than having nice chats like you did Needs must this week - I'll be spending, er, 13 hours on trains this week :eek:

I love trains though

Cheery_Daff

Right, all ready cfor first train trip Plenty of work to do (and a picnic, of course )

Oh, and I got the parkrun results - 37 mins 21 secs - so 1 min 27 seconds faster than last time Very pleased with myself!

Have a good one all xx
