My neighbour next-door-but-one are a nice old couple I am very friendly with. They have a wood-burning stove, and additionally John is a keen carpenter, so you can barely get in the house for wood, it's stacked everywhere. I have a blackberry patch in my rear garden, and the gardeners are under strict instructions to leave it well alone. However, every couple of years, they'll get some new personnel, who don't check the work-sheet, and they'll set about my blackberries. One year, some idiot cut them down when they were covered in fruit!I erected a sign as a reminder, but the last one had fallen apart, so I had another made. A few weeks ago, I was helping my neighbour out with something, and I asked him if I could have a piece of scrap wood to nail the sign I'd had made to. I wanted to do it myself, but predictably, John wanted to make me one, and insisted he did so. I said I wanted something about 3ft long. I thought he'd forgotten, but I was out in the Guardian earlier, and he shouted over that he'd done my post, but it just needed painting! I told him not to bother painting it, and shortly after he delivered this!

And those vampires and zombies better watch out too!

This isn’t new but seems appropriate in these times.

So that's where it's all gone then!That used to be a cracking pint when it was brewed at the Strangeways Brewery in Manchester.

Thanks for the video! I love that song, but hadn’t seen that version. Here’s another cover of it that I like.
(Jack Black , you might recognize the guy in the blue shirt. Hopefully it doesn’t trigger any bad memories of incongruous venues and uppity theatre crowds.)

That’s a great photo, Jack!If you’re allowed out of the house, you should take that stake with you; should help with “social distancing.”

A veritable hep-cat.
I think a jive turkey was a bad thing, but by the time I was comfortable using a neologism it was always passe anyway.
Woody Allen's Bananas: "We're going to make an example of this, hep-cat."lol Jer
You just sent me scrambling over the interwebbs to find the meaning of hep-cat![]()
Not true. "Physical distancing" could refer to anything (apple, dog, chair, etc.), but "social distancing" refers to people. Maybe not necessarily literal, but everyone understands it. (My opinion.)I read today on the news someone suggesting to change the name to " physical distancing" instead as it is more accurate and sounds more positive than social distancing.
Beautiful AC/apples still life, Jack. I love the Time Machine movie. Themes like and evil exist side by side. Acting like sheep is not the best life choice. If you have a vision, don’t let other deter you. When Rod Taylor got angry at the Eloi for being self-absorbed and not doing anything to help, it seemed similar to us Baby Boomer Codgers ranting about Millennials.Good morning Guardians, hope everyone is doing OK. I thought I'd give my Barlow a rest today, and carry my ACTake care and stay safe folks

Lovely edifice you've got there.

The red hues of the wood and the apples complement each other very nicely.
You found the perfect use for it
I'll make me one of those sticks too lol
I remember how it ends! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, that's all I'll tell you.
I recently saw the end of the Vincent Price original, The Last Man on Earth, for the first time. No matter how many times I watched that on Bill Kennedy at the Movies (Detroit's favorite movie host), the reception always went out during the denouement.
lol Jer

Great story and portrait from your personal file.

Good Evening Guardians.
Don’t you wish everyone did?
