Jack Black , I started to quote you about tool man before I ran over to the church to turn off the boiler. I was thinking it sounded like he was trying to goad you into drawing first.

LOL! No, he knows where goading would get him!

No-one will notice this pic is re-used:

Somebody thought the boiler was smelling and sounding funny, and sure enough, the pump motor has overheated and fried a bearing and a shaft seal. The older part of the church is on forced air; the Sunday School wing might be a bit chilly for a while.

It's a cool pic Jer I guess those kits are on sale here too, but due to my longstanding loathing of eggs, I have never gone in search of one I do have a chocolate egg, I was gifted Hope the boiler is not too costly to put right

No, when we lived in Arizona, our house backed up to a golf course. I started collecting all the golf balls that would end up in our back yard. Thankfully we only ever had one broken window. Patched a lot of stucco.

That would drive me crazy!

Nope, I was just being optimistic.

LOL! While it's a holiday here, I know a lot of people will be working regardless, and not even getting extra pay Things aren't the same as when I was a kid

Special thank you to Jack Black Came home today to a package from Jack. Inside was a little tin with a beautiful '19 lambsfoot and an awesome pin. Also included was a wonderful Yorkshire keychain and a Richards pipe tool. What a thoughtful and generous gift my friend. I don't really know what I did to deserve such an amazing gift but promise you that I will cherish this for years and years and years. Thank you, Jack. The knife is great but the friendship is what truly matters.

The people in this thread are amazing. I have had a string of wonderful things happen to me lately. I promise to pay it forward.

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone has had a good week, and that you're looking forward to the weekend It's a nice sunny day here, and I usually go out to the village of Heptonstall on Good Friday, for Pace-Egg. All my friends are either working or otherwise occupied this year though, and I am still worn out from my day at the market yesterday, so some housework aside, I'm planning an easy day of recuperation Have a good day Guardians, and enjoy carrying your Lambsfoot knives I'm carrying my 2018 Guardians Lambsfoot, shown here, as new, and today. If you don't know the story behind the Everest connection (and George Mallory), it's a great opportunity to check out the Guardian's Thread Index

Good morning Guardians. Having a great morning as the sun is out and today marks the start of warm to hot weather here in Cheeseland. Carrying a new knife is great but when its a gift from a friend it takes it to a new level. Thanks again Jack. Today marks the first day of many for this ironwood beauty in the pocket. I hope everyone has a great day and a wonderful Easter weekend.

Hard to believe that it is only April, with the glorious weather we have today, and that we are in the same month as yesterday! I had an easy morning, which was nice, seemed longer, as I had got up early, as usual I had a bagel for breakfast, and listened to some Bill Evans, having being bought a dozen albums on CD for my birthday, while I ate an apple, and read the online news. I cleared off last night's dishes, and noticed I was nearly out of washing-up liquid, so after having some bruschetta, and an eccles cake, for lunch, I decided to go into town.

The squirrels are getting frisky on my street, chasing each other round the trees, and the birds are starting to build nests. Spring is definitely here, and some of my neighbours are showing themselves for the first time since last summer!

My elderly neighbour Bridget was sat out in her garden, with her daughter, so I called round to see if she needed anything from town, then walked down the road talking to a feller from Kenya, where, coincidentally, Bridget and her husband, John, taught English in the early 1960's.

I arrived at the bus-stop just in time to hop on a bus, and got off close to the market, calling in at a shop to get my washing-up liquid, before going into the market for a few other things. The city centre didn't seem different to any other Saturday, but later, there'll probably be even more boozing than usual going on

I bought some dried Turkish figs, and some roasted cashew nuts from the nut stall, and some breadcakes and hot-cross buns from the bread stall. I saw some nice-looking English new potatoes on the fruit & veg stall next door, and bought some, together with a well-priced punnet of raspberries. I chatted to a few of the stall holders, both inside and out, and then managed to jump straight on a bus home. My neighbour Frank was at the bus-stop when I got off. He's originally from Dublin, but moved onto my street in the 1970's. I walked up the road, in the sunshine, seeing my mate, Carlton, who lives across the road, with his Turkish wife, and stopping for a chat with Rasta Steve, who was out digging his garden. The kids next door were bouncing up and down on their trampoline like jumping beans My gardeners turned up next, which surprised me, as I'd expected them to take the day off, and a friendly Amazon delivery driver, who was also enjoying the sunshine. Good weather is always a good lubricant for conversation here!
