I'm not someone who can stay in bed, and I generally wake up early, but after I turned 60, the lure of the sofa for an afternoon nap increased!Thank you my friend. Man I used to love a good nap! For some reason when I turned about 40 years the luxury abandoned me. I mean I just cannot sleep when the sun is up.
I should probably just not get up so early! 
LOL! Brilliant Jer!Suppose Monty Python was thinking of Two Jags in their sketch where the composer Two Sheds Jackson gets kicked off the arts program?
I'll never be a Two Jags. Maybe when I'm famous they'll call me Multiple Sticks.
Like I saying, Spring is here.
Not a day to take Shuttlecock out to play.
It's so sunny outside, that my path has largely cleared itself, and the roads are clear...but the mail has been cancelled 
Good morning Guardians, we had some snow overnight, so Britain has come to a standstill...I wonder if anyone will notice!
I'm carrying an Old Friend today, my Unity Lambsfoot, shown here in an old pic
I've just seen one of the smug Landrover owners speeding up the street, like nothing could stop them, only to find it's a cul-de-sac!I sure hope you guys can survive the snowpocalypse
I did like Jeremy Clarkson. Talking about the Landrover you have because you live on a lane that sometimes has a leaf on it.I've just seen one of the smug Landrover owners speeding up the street, like nothing could stop them, only to find it's a cul-de-sac!
Thanks Steve.Congrats Bob !
I sure hope you guys can survive the snowpocalypse
Beautiful " reindeer" you have there.
Maybe put on my spatterdashes and go carolling. See if I get any cookies.
Score! That Jack is full of generosity.
Another HHB Score!
A Winter Wonderland.
Good luck Jer

Quality quartet there I'm glad I took a pic first thing this morning!A Winter Wonderland.
The low winter sun is so intense, I'm sat at my desk wearing a wide-brimmed Tilley Hat! 
They're getting you ready for the time shift this weekend.
Finished up the sausage making and fried up a sample for taste testing. My best effort's to date for sure!
One of my neighbors has an extensive herb garden and I was allowed to harvest some fresh Marjoram, Tyme and Sage to add to my concoction. However, my secret ingredient is that for every 10 pounds of pork I also ad 2 pounds of apple wood cured bacon. Oh man! I package 1 lb quantities, use a hog ring to seal each bag, and then put them in the freezer. My HHB helped the process along when need for odd jobs like harvesting the fresh spices/herbs.
Up on the rooftop, click click click!
My Tilley is no longer the stuff of Sunday best. Being a cheapskate, I'm a little at a loss for a replacement. It won't be a Tilley, though, if he's still charging Canadian prices for Chinese hats.Good luck Jer
I'm glad I took a pic first thing this morning!
Nice work Bill, I recall you mentioning the bacon before!Good morning Guardians. Some foul weather coming today. Cold and rainy (but we really need the rain).

Sorry to hear about your weather, guess it's sausage sandwiches all round! 
The new owners of that company must be STUPID to start making some of their iconic range overseas, it's not as if they are inexpensive!My Tilley is no longer the stuff of Sunday best. Being a cheapskate, I'm a little at a loss for a replacement. It won't be a Tilley, though, if he's still charging Canadian prices for Chinese hats.
The first one I bought was made in China, so I returned it, which was quite a bit of hassle. I managed to find a Canadian-made model in an outdoor shop, after getting good advice from
Crazy Canuck
Some of the models are still made in Canada, which makes the decision to produce others in the Far East, even more stupid I think! 
I was supposed to have another Canadian model delivered today, but the Royal Mail can't fight their way through the sprinkling of snow and sunshine Unfortunately, even the Canadian ones now have the cheap-looking label inside 
I imagine other corners are being cut too. A lot of good companies have gone the same way, as we all know
