Guardians of The Lambsfoot!


It’s an odd sort of day for me today. The old man turned 79 today. As you know he’s not well. I rang him this morning he always tells us he’s okay just a bit short of breath 🙄 have to speak to Mum, she was a nurse most of her life.
He’s not bed ridden spends most of his day in his recliner, likes to watch YouTube.
Will have friends over for lunch, travelling buddies my parents did a lot of travelling around the world an Australia.
My brothers will visit tonight, we’re going over Friday.
I guess I’m just a little sad.

I'm glad that you and your brothers will get to spend some time with your parents 👍

Many Happy Returns to your dad Mitch, and I hope you enjoy seeing your family and friends, and that the melancholy eases :) :thumbsup:

A nice quiet night at work in store for me. Got my Cosimo to keep me company.

As payback for missed time… a little “under the hood” detail on the GL-24. A really nice touch that I sometimes forget is there.

I reckon so buddy :) :thumbsup:
 
Good morning Guardians, I napped too much yesterday, and didn't sleep great as a result :rolleyes: I have a busy day tomorrow, with a podiatry appointment in the morning, and then a wedding, in Bradford, in the afternoon - not mine thankfully, but I'm a witness. Today, I have a few things to do in respect of both appointments, and since I'll be busy tomorrow, I need to get some sandwich stuff in for Friday, as I'm going to the annual Good Friday Pace-Egg do with Matt and his family. I'll be starting off with a coffee in the cafe ;) Putting some WABOOM in my step! :D Have a good day Guardians :thumbsup:

Thanks Jack
Can’t stay to melancholy as he has had a good run and he’s deals with it bravely.
He has joked before “ worked most of life working in a foundry and ended up with lung cancer, fancy that”😳🙂

Life is tough on most working blokes Mitch, particularly your dad's generation :( I've been lucky, could have easily ended up in a factory or steel works :rolleyes: I hope your dad enjoys his birthday mate, and I'm sure he'll enjoy seeing you all :) :thumbsup:

Yes indeed, if it wasn’t for disabilities I would have been in a trade as well.
My eldest brother was a boiler maker but retrained as a builder, recently had his carpal tunnel done.
Other brother was a boiler maker, where he did his apprenticeship had to be blood tested once a month to monitor lead levels, too high you got a few days off.
He had to retrain a few years ago due to medical reasons.

Yeah, there weren't too many options back then I guess Mitch. All my dad's generation were in factories, and it was pretty much still the same when I left school, that or coal mines. I was an apprentice mechanic/plant fitter in a big garage, but it wasn't much different, terrible health and safety back then. It took me 6 months to get my hands clean after leaving. Twenty years later, I remember seeing lads I went to school with, who didn't escape the factories, and they looked 50 or 60. My dad spent the last 10 years of his working life running a care home, but the years in the factories still caught up with him :rolleyes:

Great pic of a wonderful knife :cool: :thumbsup:
 
The bread stall in the market does some nice ciabatta rolls, and since I won't have time to shop tomorrow, I thought I'd get a couple for my sandwiches on Friday. I got to the stall at the same time as a posh woman, who I let go in front of me. She asked how many ciabatta rolls they had, and when told there were only 4, she bought them, and half the rest of the bread on the stall 😕

Probably, but I don't remember. It can't have been outrageous, or I couldn't have bought it. I was thinking sun when I bought it, but I wear it mostly for ice storms. And tornado warnings.
It sits a little high on my head, so it might make Clint Eastwood snicker enough to give me an edge.

I think I saw my first one on a member of a road crew locally, and mine is still only the second I've seen.

Jack just reminded me it was almost too late to bring up my Easter eggs.

The red wooden eggs and saucer are from Ukraine, out of the Catholic Company catalogue, a couple of years ago. MIxed colors were already sold out. The others are marble, or stone, anyway.
The little green one is from a dollar table at an antique mall that's been closed for some years. The white one has been around for a long time. The blue one was my choice at the Florence flea market in 1967.
Mom had some wooden Easter eggs, which I can't find. When they turn up again, I'll put them with mine, which are in the stand-up desk in the basement.

LOL! :D Nice collection Jer :cool: I meant to buy some more Hot Cross Buns in town, but so annoyed by my experience at the bread stall that I forgot 🤔 Maybe I'll get a chance to grab a pack on my way home tomorrow. The train journey from Leeds to Hebden Bridge near Heptonstall takes over an hour, so we can have coffee and Hot Cross Buns on the train hopefully :thumbsup:
