Nice people thread part 8 - worth the wait

Yesterday dh stood behind me while I was cutting the grass, I picked up a stone or something in the blade and it shot like a bullet in his arm.

This is, and should be a cautionary tale.

I was just noticing his tennis ball size swelling and remarking on the bruise forming and dh, in his sincerity and childlike ness said ' its fabulous because I've never been shot before'. His approach and determination to see the positive and exciting is tremendous, he also doesn't want me to feel guilty (I felt bad yesterday). My family joke his catchphrase is ' that's amazing!' Ad he genuinely feels like that. He's so awesome.

Gush, gush, gush.

When I dismantled our trampoline a screw fell into some long grass and I couldn't find it so th rule is we need to wear glasses or goggles when we mow/strim the lawn unitl it turns up.

Any other NPs ever been inside one/lived in one? What did you think of them?

I've seen loads from the outside as they were everywhere in the 1960s/70s.

I knew a girl who lived in one

I've been inside 2-3 staged ones. The Museum of Welsh Life has some: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22museum%20of%20welsh%20life%20prefab%22&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.47534661,d.ZWU&biw=1172&bih=537&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=Nti0Ua2KAaS47AaixIGAAg#um=1&hl=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=%22museum+of+welsh+life+prefab%22&oq=%22museum+of+welsh+life+prefab%22&gs_l=img.3...2814.2814.2.3748.1.1.0.0.0.0.205.205.2-1.1.0...0.0...1c.1.16.img.visX51o-bYE&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.47534661,d.ZG4&fp=8221451c96e9d25&biw=1172&bih=537

I feel I still haven't achieved proper adulthood. No sudden enlightenment or burst of maturity. Wish I knew when that all happens.

Women grow up; men just grow older.

Ahhh - bless. What is he going to go about the stone/ whatever it is? Is it still in there?

Dinner chez Nikkster: turkey stir fry (aka all of the vegetables lurking in the fridge, no rice or noodles so suitable for fast days) which included chard. I've never cooked chard before, but it was too cheap to turn down. I've got three more portions boxed up for meals during the week, so its a good job it turned out ok!

When I was a kid I used to vist my cousins down south.

The ones in London lived in a basement flat and had to walk to a cold dark outside shared toilet at night. As did I .

Hated it.:eek:

Seemed normal to everybody at the time apparently.:(

How sad. One of my fave authors, Iain Banks has passed away. He wrote such optimistic books. Everybody would be better off if they read at least some of them. Religious or not, God bless him. What a fantastic contributor to modern life.

Have you tried cordosyl(sp?) mouthwash?

Those maverick tomatoes sprouting from the compost in all sorts of other pots have been "weeded" out into their own pots. I'm going to see/hope they strike out on their own.
As a result, I now have an additional 74 tomato plants!
