Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

I'd forgotten about that one David, quite a cool collectible I imagine many folks here won't have seen the Space Lamb, mine was a very thoughtful gift from JohnDF

Cool Space Lamb!

Not going to lie. I spent an hour scouring for the shuttle lamb. Happy to report that it was a success! On its way!

Are you playing with my head, or are you changing your quote in your Avatar each day. ?????

I've only changed it once! The last one was just for Prester John

I must have noticed the different one Yesterday or very recently.

Thanks for the kind words, Paul, and certainly, coffee and lambsfoots are a pair of mystical realities: enjoyed by many, but truly appreciated by only a few.

Its been a hang of a time, New Zealand has been hit extremely hard with bad weather- torrential rains that have caused hundreds of millions in flooding damage, then a week later Cyclone Gabrielle decided to visit, and she was not in a good mood.

In my region, Napier / Hawkes bay also very close neighbours Wairoa and Gisborne were absolutely smashed. we went without Power for a week, No communications from cell phones at all, everything was closed and it was a ghost town - like something out of a movie!

People lost their lives - children were lost - houses destroyed then all the animals , horses and farm animals lost in the most horrible manner - wow , Sue and I are the very lucky ones - going back in time and standing over a basin having cold washes, my daughter borrowed all of our camp gear so we didn't have any of our gas cookers at all apart from the little wee one you use to make a cuppa on during a Hike- so that little champion cooked all our dinners etc.

The behaviour of some people during times like this is unbelievable, in saying that though you also saw the good in some people as well, at Traffic lights lights- the communication and friendly waves and giving way was great to see, but there is always the element where somehow the worst people dwell a little lower and burgle evacuated Houses and businesses.
People queueing for miles to get into the one supermarket, then a few days later one gas station opened- wow!! we just kept away from all of the dynamics going on there!!

So with things coming back to normal ( apart form those poor poor families who suffered loss of loved ones ) I am carrying my friend right here.....

Quite the beast but a good one!

Have a great day folks!

I’m sorry to hear of all the suffering. Glad to hear you and yours are safe, Duncan. Wishing you all relief.

Afternoon Guardians! When I got home. I found this Rodgers Millennium 2000 Lamb in the mailbox. I've switched over to it this afternoon.

David, that’s awesome.

Very cool photo Harvey.

Thank you Dwight.

Sorry to hear about all of the mayhem Duncan. I'm glad you two were spared grave damage my friend

Some cool looking coins surounding your equally cool Lambfoot, D.

Thank you for all your kind words Folks, very much appreciated, please don't get me wrong- I am certainly not playing the sympathy card, in fact the opposite to be honest where I feel almost like a cheat as we are so so much luckier than so many others! I just drove from Hastings to Napier today on the only road to and from there for now.
Oh boy!! only in Christchurch after the massive Earthquakes did I see red spray painted circles on the outside of Houses to mark the Houses as either cleared / checked etc - I did hear the other day that the damage and carnage is way way worse than the Christchurch earthquakes from this Cyclone.

All the Houses along this one long road were devastated, along with huge Bulldozered piles of carnage into massive piles roadside to ensure makeshift thoroughfare.
also all along the Roads were cars strewn among trees and bushes and against each other - all were under water - wow, and here is Sue and I who escaped very well off with having suffered no harm, I cherish be one of the lucky ones- yet feel guilty, I guess this is a normal reaction of those who care.

Have a great day folks, and thank you.

Gotta figure out how to use "Sod their crockery!" at work, but I think I'd just get blank stares. They think I'm crazy, anyway.

I asked the seller of my recent eo stag Lambfoot for its’ history.

His response:

Was in a trial once where one of my witnesses had over a thousand knives. Came out in cross-examination. During closing argument, opposing counsel referred to this witness as "the man of a thousand knives!", as if that were a bad thing! I laughed to myself. We still won.

Sending smoke to you and your neighbors

Thank you. I think it will go to my son as long as the pull is not too tough.

I do that all the time mate, I'll be in a cafe or bar, and say "How long have you had that photo/painting up on the wall?" And they'll say, "All the 10 years you've been coming in here!" The old one was only there a week or so in this case

I asked the seller of my recent eo stag Lambfoot for its’ history.

His response:

Thanks for trying Harvey It sounds like it was made some years back, but it's a long time since Sheffield was using stag of that quality. It's character, and the matching between Mark and Pile sides, along with the EO notch point point to a bespoke piece IMHO. I reckon you have a one-off there my friend Beautiful shot

I'm appalled that this hasn't been in the news here Duncan, but then even the Turkish/Syrian earthquake was only mentioned for a few days, before making way for some rubbish to prattle about. I am sure you have heard of Survivor's Syndrome/Survivor's Guilt, it's a common, and natural, reaction when empathetic folks witness the suffering of others, but escape relatively unscathed. It must have been traumatic to see your new home devastated in this way, and to the extent it was. It sounds you're going to be reminded of it for a while too, as things may take time to get back to normal. You take care buddy

I might just give up Lent!

Thank you. I think it will go to my son as long as the pull is not too tough.

The pull is reasonable on mine

Good morning Guardians, horrific to hear what Duncan and his neighbours have been through! It's been a heck of a few years hasn't it?! Most of our disasters here, can't be blamed on Mother Nature Hope your week is going OK Guardians, and that you have a good day I still have this nasty cough and sore throat, but the former is intermittent. Carrying my '19 today, like our pal in New Zealand. Have a good day folks, and stay safe out there
