Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

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!!!
That's the emoji all right!! (I never claimed to be an artist!!)!!
I'm glad you got one -ahem- Where there's a Will, there's a way!! 😂 (real emoji!!)
 
Thanks Jack !


Best of luck buddy !

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 pics 😎👍

Excellent photo Mitch! 😁👍

Congratulations Bob 😎🙂👍

Very nice Jer 👍👍

Lambtastic 👍
Thanks Jack.
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 👍
Glad to hear you have a plan and heading in the right direction. I bet you feel some relief.
Bond villan? Or dr evil?😀

So scary and so sad.

I'm sure you could have spent more money for less chair.

Off to get an MRI on my knee. Hopeful that the doc is correct and it's a meniscus tear (since that's actionable). Won't have the GL-24 or any other knives on me while I lay in a big metal tube listening to odd time signature industrial music.

Looks like you had a great meal my friend :) That's a lovely Lamb :thumbsup:
Evening all
The blade is definitely the thing :) :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, I hope that you made it through the week, and that you have something nice planned for the weekend :) It's hard to credit how the weather has changed here over the past few days. We've had an unusually cold winter, but yesterday I was walking round in my shirt-sleeves, and the neighbours' kids were playing out, just like they do on summer evening. Temperature is supposed to be 50F today, but it's a nice, sunny day, from the look of it. Matt's missus has taken their daughter, Rheia, to London for the weekend, as a birthday treat, so me and Matt, and his lad Cillian, are going out for a curry later. I haven't yet made any plans for this afternoon, but hoping to meet up with a few pals, maybe grab a pint. Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend :thumbsup:
