Rusty_Hinge writes The message from "Ophelia" contains these words: You put Deet on your chest?? Heh, who would have thunk it:) I bet that clears your tubes:) I've never even heard of Deet. It's not the kind of stuff to inhale, or use in a confined space. -- Gordon H Remove "invalid" to reply |

from Anne Welsh Jackson contains these words: Wocher bin up-to then? Riding fast with the sun behind miles of trees? Suffering from Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) Rusty. Oo-nasty. Commiz. No more mo'bike riding, as I gave Suzie away last week. Couldn't bring myself to sell her, so I gave her away to someone who really needs a bike, and I know will look after her - and I can visit her when I want to... I know the feeling. -- Rusty Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk |

I did. Almost like daylight outside, it was. I thought I saw an umpire flitting round, but it was only a dicky bird. Not a Dicky Bird. -- Rusty Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

Morgan writes p.s. who else spotted the beautiful moon tonight ? I'm a bloke, and we cough don't notice such things. It was a bit yellowish, I thought, but that might be the atmosphere, probably explains the cough, too. -- Gordon H Remove "invalid" to reply |

Hmm, you don't think your sock have enough malodorous content without the Deet? Oh poooheee:) Things like that are readily absorbed by the soles of the feet. The skin absorbes Deet? Probably - it absorbs Vick, and the effect is as good as putting it on yer chest. You put Deet on your chest?? Heh, who would have thunk it:) I bet that clears your tubes:) and kills the moles. :o) ewww Only on Rusty's chest. Your chest is safe. *MINE* doesn't have molehills... Oi! D&RFC ? |

On a walk during the summer months we stopped at a picnic area to eat lunch and drink water. On the next bench were a group of girl cyclists who were drinking orange juice and leaping around as wasps buzzed around their heads. I walked over to them, borrowed their orange juice, and poured some onto the next vacant table. Then I sprayed some Deet based fly repellent on their bench, avoiding their food. The wasps moved on. -- Gordon H Remove "invalid" to reply |

Forecast today is 24°C Next week we are back to 12°C -- Martin We have a gale here much stronger than predicted. It is forcast over 3 days with today being the medium grade, tomorrow it is expected to really blow. I consider that today is pretty bad, the greenhouse which was ready to be glazed is on the ground in a heap, the corner is twisted but Edward says he can repair it. Today was to have been the day it was to be bolted down into concrete. Judith |
