The eyes have it!Charlie's eye is upon you.
Thanks pal
Thank you DavidHope all goes well buddy
Such a sweet Lamb
Well done Tyson, I don't recall seeing a pic quite like that beforeIf I'm going to carry the same knife everyday, I can at least try to get different sorts of pics of it.
Sorry to hear you're not fully recovered WillUnbelievably, I'm still hacking and spitting though I do, on the whole, feel better. I give this cold a rating of 4 on a scale of 1 through 10 where 1 is an isolated sneeze and 10 is ebola virus. Gross though, very... "moist."
Upon further consideration, I can think of a few other scales where "ebola virus" takes the top spot including "Things I Definitely Do NOT Want to Experience," "Diseases I Would Prefer NOT to Contract," "Excellent Antagonists in a Medical Thriller Series," and "Reasons I Would Banish A Fellow Human Being From A Lifeboat." It's important to think these kinds of things through before finding oneself in a given situation.
I'm glad you're still ruminating Happy Double Lambsfoot Day CongratulationsI was never not a Guardian. It's just that some of my lambs ran away for a minute. But a whole herd is showing back up! Just as surprised I got ahold of this Rhidian (thanks @JTB_5) as I was to not have to turn to the secondary for the Waynorth. And I've got an Albers on the way now finally, and one of the GEC #15 Navy Knives to which to apply my classic Lambsfoot treatment. It's a good start to the year for my knife collection. Hope everyone here is well!

Such a classic example of barlow sawcut bone. I can't make it out, who made that?
Yikes!
I once had a girlfriend, who a couple of years before I knew her (thankfully), went to a neighbour's party, and somehow managed to get her head stuck in the stair railings! 
They had to call the Fire Service! 
Great-looking picsBonus!
Excellent photo Mitch!Afternoon all

Good afternoon Guardians, been a long, tiring day. I got a taxi to the hospital, and it's just as well I've been complaining, because my care plan has changed completely! From no care plan, it has gone to seeing a wound specialist every week, and the surgeon every 2 weeks. I was previously told to do everything I could to keep it dry, and not to wash my hair, or have it cut. Now I've been told to bathe it, and I can wash my hair, and have it cut if I want. I was told to apply Vaseline, now I have a special cream to aid rapid healing. Idiots! 
After leaving the hospital, I arranged to meet Wolfie, and we had coffee and pancakes, before setting off to find a furniture warehouse, where I could buy a new desk chair. The place I came across online really took some finding, and at first we thought it had closed down. Fortunately, just as we were about to leave, we saw someone enter one of the doors of what was an old clothing factory. Inside, was a clutter of office furniture, but I got a real Bond Villain chair for £60, and while the seller was probably making £55 profit, I was glad the hunt was over. It weighs more than Odd Job, but Wolfie carried it upstairs for me, thankfully.
I then had to get rid of my old chair, so set about stripping it down. I think I was a mechanic the last time I undid that many nuts and bolts!
It has been like a summer's day here, and I decided to go and get some fresh air, with a walk down to Charlie's cafe. I forgot to take a pic of the delicious orange cake I had
Just putting my feet up for 10 minutes I hope everyone else is having a nice day

I've named her "Tilly."
I can hear it now - "Why, Will?? Why would you go and give a perfectly splendid lamb a name like "Tilly"?"
Listen, I have reasons - ok? Upon opening this knife's shipping packaging, I noticed a cryptic message scrawled on the tube, along with a hand-drawn representation of, I believe, the
emoji - and a name (I assume of the joker who inscribed the message!! 
I'm trying to track this individual down, so if any of you have any leads, I'm all ears - just like King Charles III!! 
).
Upon reading the message left on the tube, I knew just what name this lamb deserved - Tilly, which is short for: The Improbable Last Lamb (of) Year (2025) - T.I.L.L.Y. See? Reasons.
"Improbable" because I really believed I wouldn't be blessed with one of these legendary lambs - at first, I was gonna go with "Unlikely," but then I'd have had to name her "Tully" and while "Tully" definitely sounds like the name of a gentleman who would sport a flat cap - I tend to prefer naming knives using a more feminine convention.
Even if I had a baseball signed by Babe Ruth, a basketball signed by Michael Jordan, or a crusty tye-dyed shirt signed by Jerry Garcia - this tube would take pride of place uber alles. You could say I'm quite happy to have received it - not in spite of the graffiti, but in large part due to it!! Thanks "Charlie" - whoever you are.... This one will forever be part of the permanent collection!
"The Last One!!" - lordy, lordy. I went from feeling like I'd waited too long to feeling like I'd never employed such expert timing in all my days!
"" indeed!!!
