Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

I miss weekends. Especially Saturdays. But I need the money and I have a job with regular and otherwise quite civilized hours.

Anyway, having to constantly remind myself what day it is keeps me on my toes.

It's going to be a freezing two days here and then back into the 40s.:(:D

I was going to take some pics outside, but the snowbells I expected weren't there, and if there are croci they're under a foot of crusty snow, and the sun went in before I got out, so I took a bunch of pics on my old Carhartt.

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:

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! 🤨

What a mess! 😲🫤 At least it sounds like you’re getting better care now, which is great news.

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!

Glad you found a chair! Sounds like a cool one, too. 😁

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 👍

We’ve had some nice warm(er) weather here lately, although yesterday it was incredibly windy out, which wasn’t particularly enjoyable.

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!!!

Pretty special tube you’ve got there, Will. :thumbsup: Hope you figure out who signed it, so you don’t end up in some Sandlot-type situation. 😁

I hope everyone’s weekend is off to a good start. I’ve spent more time than I’d care to this week shopping around for new eye glasses, but I suppose it’s worth putting the time in, as I tend to keep the same pair for a long time. The last time I got a new pair was just before Eleanor was born… almost 9 years ago! 😁

Afzelia Burl Albers for the weekend.

Should be a relaxing Saturday. Kids have been begging me for my Chili so I’ve started it. Think we will have it over baked potatoes for dinner.

Got the GL-24 today. Pile side always gets neglected so I took a shot of it.
