You have nothing to worry about Paul :) I was an English teacher once, so that's a professional opinion! ;):D Hey, it's a forum, you're not writing your autobiography! 🤣 Most of the time, I don't even check my posts! :D I don't mean I don't check them for grammar or spelling, I don't even re-read them! :eek: 🤣:thumbsup:

Hey Paul, do me a favour though, don't put the inverted commas in the wrong place! 🤨 🤣 🤣 :thumbsup:
 
Jack Black Jack Black lovely photos and lamb Jack.

But it’s a very hostile looking environment, was it quite hot and barren over most of the island?

I’m from the mountains so for me home is green and wet hills with lots of game.

Thanks Jack, only part of the island was affected by the volcanic eruption, and it's interesting how the islanders rose to the challenge of farming in such an environment, something I'll show a little of, when I continue my trip. The weather is pretty friendly, but Lanzarote is the driest of the Canary Islands, and historically, the poorest because of that. That's because the mountains are relatively low, compared to neighbouring Tenerife, for example, and so the Trade Winds drop their rainfall before they get to Lanzarote. You want green and wet, you should move over here my friend! :D ;) :thumbsup:
 
I'll see you when I get back from the market Guardians ;) :thumbsup:

I had a boss that made it clear that he was self conscious over his grammar and spelling, or lack thereof, frequently assuring co-workers (myself most often) that he "really wasn't as dumb as he sounded" in his writing.

As the company's overworked (and much maligned) copy editor, I attempted to reassure him that equating intelligence with writing ability was a bunch of nonsense. I've known plenty of idiots that memorized all the conventions of English grammar and could, technically, write quite well - as well as a few very intelligent people that would have a hard time putting together a coherent shopping list.

You always seem to get your point across - that's effective communication in my book. 🤷

Thank you Duncan! You are correct about the bog oak- supposedly it has been under water in a swamp for 100's to 1000(?) years. That gives it the color it has. I have another knife in bog oak that I've had for years that I really like (Can't show it here) so when I saw the M. May Lamb, I had to have it. And I'm thrilled with it. It was my first Sheffield knife, so it took a little bit to get used to the action and break it in, but now I really love it!

Edit: I was a little off-base. I found this on the "Wood Database" -

"Bog Oak, much like Brown Oak, is not a specific species, but is rather a term that designates oak that has been buried in a peat bog for hundreds or sometimes thousands of years. The extremely low oxygen conditions of the bog protect the wood from normal decay, while the underlying peat provides acidic conditions where iron salts and other minerals react with the tannins in the wood, gradually giving it a distinct dark brown to almost black color."

It will be in the Thousands most likely, we in new Zealand here have the stunning Kauri Trees pulled up from swamps that is 40,000.00 years old - in fact there is a release on a certain GEC Pattern with some of that on the Handles.

Awesome stuff!
