Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Rufus1949]

Quite the bevy of beautiful lambs!

Thank you kindly JJ. Now, if only I could photograph them like other members here.

LOL! That is like a Tool Man sandwich! Very tasty-looking my friend, as is your Hartshead Barlow I hope you're having a lovely day

Speaking of Tool Man, I just to him, and the weather-forecast is cold and dreary tomorrow, with the possibility of rain. But I'm sure we'll have a laugh anyway I'm going to be carrying Big Rose, thought screened porch might like this pic

Ladbroke Grove and Notting Hill!

And an answering hail from Rose Beast.

Good morning folks. A little too close to the second page for my liking.

 

[Rufus1949]

Another warm March day here in dairyland. Red Bull drink for breakfast. I should stop drinking that poison but much like the 7 eleven burrito....I love em . Got this beautiful lamb with me today. I hope everyone is having a great day.

Good day everyone......Market day

Looks like a great market with really fresh produce Bob. HHB is settling right in my friend.

Morning Guardians! Another Lamb that hasn't been out in a while. Jack hope you had a good day at the market.

I don't think I have seen that one David. Very nice and interesting variant.

Nice capture of your lamb Paul.
Is the red bull giving you wiings yet?

The market is incredible. There are 5 sections! One better than the other...but no burritos

lol. I don't think my body recognizes caffeine as a stimulant anymore.

Ladbroke Grove and Notting Hill!

Bit of a trip down Memory Lane Jer! Such an interesting area, though I think it was better when we lived there, rather than the name-dropping author, a decade later, when gentrification had well and truly set in. It brought back some happy memories though, and I enjoyed reading what is really just a stretched stream-of-consciousness article. I'll try and photocopy it for you

And an answering hail from Rose Beast.

The Beast unleashed!

Hope everyone is having a good day I was hoping to get a nap, but not sure I'll get a chance now, before I eat. The market was fun, as usual. Tool Man's main pre-occupation today has been a new tattoo, which he is thinking of having, a winged wheel from a pocket watch he has. He knows a young tattooist, Kenny, who I don't have a lot of time for, being as he is covered head-to-toe in every gang tattoo imaginable, and dresses like a prison thug, whereas he is in reality a posing, soft, posh boy. Tool Man, being Tool Man, had decided he wanted this tattoo on the back of his neck, and had discussed the tattoo with Kenny, who has inked a lot of his previous tattoos, before. Having no sense of direction, or knowledge of the streets of Leeds, he didn't actually know where Kenny did his tattooing, except that it was somewhere near the market. I guessed where it was, and took Tool Man there, but the shop hadn't opened yet, so I suggested Tool Man go to ask Barber Brian if he had Kenny's phone number.

I went off to buy some Eccles Cakes, and Tool Man went to see Brian. He obtained the number, and spoke to Kenny on the phone, and an hour later, quite excited, he went off to see Kenny at the shop. He returned later saying, somewhat forlornly, that Kenny, who has facial tattoos that might get him killed in some places, was no longer doing neck tattoos. I have suggested that we go into the shop, and seriously menace him on the issue! I hope Tool Man takes me up

The market is certainly full of colourful characters, and I managed to finally get a snap of this harmless nut-case, though only from behind unfortunately. He dresses up either as a late 20th century ferry captain, or a 1960's airline pilot, and has wandered around like that for years. He was the Captain today!

Tool Man has taken a somewhat irrational position with regards to his recent health problems, and his diet has actually got worse! "Well, if I'm going to die, I'm going to die happy!" Nobody has actually mentioned dying, but he is shovelling fried Spam sandwiches down his neck, like he's in his final days! I was feeling peckish, but couldn't really decide what I fancied, so I wandered around for a bit, and got a Tunisian pizza from a stall in the market. It wasn't much like an Italian pizza, but it was freshly-baked, and very tasty, as well as being extremely spicy!

Tool Man returned from his foray to see Kenny clutching a large Bearclaw, (known as an Elephant's Foot), and proceeded to get cream all over everything, including my bag, and his nose. I left him half an hour, before handing him a Kleenex, and telling him about the latter!

Jack, you can never say life is dull, especially on Thursdays.
That sammich looks incredible!

Wow, what a fantastic-looking selection of fruit and veg! Not to mention your fine-looking Hartshead Barlow of course It is in stark contrast to the state of the shelves here at the moment

You've captured that Damascus very nicely Paul I tasted Red Bull once, 20 years ago, and can still remember it! And not in a good way!

Thank you my friend, it's nice to see that unusual JR again

LOL! It's not a very good photo I'm afraid Bob. The Tunisian guy cut the pizza in half, and wrapped the 2 halves in foil. Very tasty, but not great presentation

 

[sceva]

I like seeing the knives with patina and obvious use. It's obvious they are being used as intended instead of being relegated to a display case. It's also obvious that although they are being used they are not being abused.

I do count my blessings...but they come at a steep price.

Thanks.
I'll have to come back for the full documentary. I didn't see me in the short version.
I'd be interested to see the article.

lol. I don't think my body recognizes caffeine as a stimulant anymore.

When I worked swing shifts in my late 20s my day usually included a couple of quad mochas in the morning, a pot or two of coffee at work, a large (32 oz) Mountain Dew with dinner, and a 2-liter of Mountain Dew after work. I didn't think caffeine effected me at all at that point - I'd built up immunity, like the Dread Pirate Robert's to iocaine powder. I was a light sleeper, but waking up a lot was just my ninja-like reflexes.

Then I gave up caffeine for Lent one year.

I was physically miserable for about two weeks. Headaches, swollen joints, exhausted, you name it. After that, I slept like a baby every night and was well-rested for the first time in many years. It was positively life changing.

So for the last couple of decades when I drink coffee or tea it's decaf (the occasional non-decaf tea is the one thing I cheat on but not very often) and I drink homemade sparkle water. (Bonuses there are not only no caffeine but no sugar, either, and it's way cheaper to carbonate your own than buy it that way.)

Very sound advice Tyson. I need to stop living like I'm 20 years old. I just realized the stuff I squirt into my water bottle on occasion has caffeine in it lol.
