Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Afternoon all
Been the doctors, no chest or ear infection but have sinus infection.
On the antibiotics.
Had lunch out.

Brian stayed in the car.

Tasty looking lunch, Mitch! 🍔

Yeah, at one time, they'd have been wearing shorts and stripped to the waist, but they're wearing full orange coveralls over other clothing. They seem to be managing ok when I chat to them though, used to it I guess 👍


Great scene, but it’s a shame they didn’t get to enjoy some icy-cold Bohemia-style beer after all that hard work. 😁


(Fair warning: some not-Porch-friendly language in that clip.)

Enjoying a little afternoon rain sitting on the porch with this beautiful lamb.

Beautiful stag on that Waynorth re-cover! :thumbsup:

Those road workers are having a lend they aren’t taking it seriously. There should be a minimum of 4 workers standing around taking on a supervisory role😀🤣
A few years back, a couple of streets away, there was a road crew that did virtually nothing for months. Then, when the gaffers were due to arrive, they worked like crazy, and got the whole job done in a day!

That sounds about right. We’re right in the middle of road-construction season here in Minnesota, and out our way it’s probably been the worst one since we moved here. Just about every road we normally use to get to the anywhere is closed, and we’re having to take all sorts of inconvenient detours.

It’s funny, most of them have been closed for over a month now, with no end in sight and hardly anyone working when you drive by, but then one of the roads that closed they tore up and completely repaved and had it open again in about a day and a half. 🙄


Great pic, Mitch. Reminds me of the popular Homer Simpson bush GIF. 😁

This is why they are called twisted assisted. With my TSprof, I could not put a new edge on it correctly!
The ricasso is different on both sides too.
It is now a utility drawer tool.

Wow, Bob, that’s shocking! 😲


Nice pic, Bob! :thumbsup: Your Rosewood HHB is looking great! I have a Montblanc that was my dad’s, but it’s a twist-to-open ballpoint which isn’t really my sort of thing, so it doesn’t really get used. I’ve messed around with fountain pens a bit and enjoy using them, but for everyday practicality/reliability, a good liquid-ink rollerball is my preference.

Happy Sunday, Guardians. We’re getting some relief from the scorching summer here in North Texas. Thunderstorms incoming today so the high temp is only expected to be 89F 🌦️

Another new old lamb in the flock. I believe this one fairly rare due to the addition of a @waynorth favorite element as an unusual secondary.

Hey, I know that knife! 😁 Hope you’ve got a good thumbnail strengthening regimen for that secondary. 😉🤣

It’s going to be warm and sunny here in Minnesota this week. (I’d say “hot,” but I lived in Arizona for several years before moving up here, and it’s still difficult for me to call anything under 100°F “hot.”) 😁

The jigging on your Cosimo is phenomenal!
 
Flash & tweed.
It was fresh this morning only 46F around 8am for my walk.

Been watching a good documentary series called The production Line it takes you into 3 British factories each episode. off the top of my head I've seen Dr Martens factory, Yorkshire tea, kilt making, Jamie Dodger factory, Ghillie kettles & Chesterfield quilted sofas. It's been interesting.

LOL! :D I did think about offering them a cold beer, but there's about 15 of them altogether, and that would have left me with no beer! :D :thumbsup:

They sure love digging holes don't they?! 🫣 Hope it's over soon Barrett, the centre of Bradford was dug up for over a year! :eek:

I had a Meisterstuck, like Bob's I think, but it was in my briefcase, when it was stolen during a burglary in the mid 90's 😖

I'd forgotten its full history!

Thanks Jack ! 👍

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone had a great weekend. I'm rushing this morning, and the page crashed 4 times as I was trying to make my first post of the day! 🫣 Just got time to wish you a good day now :thumbsup:

I've thought about trying it to aid in digestion. Let me know how it works out for you.

Evening all,
Kristy made enchiladas.


Yummy ! 😍👍

We're in for another hot week.

My giant scorpion took this picture.
LOL! 😂 Good choice on a hot day Jer👍
Thanks Jack ! 👍

Thanks buddy 👍
 
I hope everyone's week is getting off to a good start. I had to dash out early to meet up with a colleague, who had asked to borrow my portable DVD drive. I don't know why she doesn't just buy one, they cost next to nothing these days. We had coffee in Charlie's, as she had insisted I needed to show her how to use it - plug it into the laptop, put in the CD! 🫣 After that, I went into town as Leeds City Council had sent me a stroppy 'Final Demand' to pay my Council Tax. Pretty annoying as they hadn't sent me a bill in the first place, and the same thing happened last year! 🤔 I can see why my bills are going up with all the money they waste though. A few weeks ago, I had to get them to re-lay the historic causeway edges they'd gone and removed from part of my street. No sooner had the 1st and 2nd road crews gone, but a third team has arrived, and removed a section of stone causeway the 1st team replaced! 😖 I've had to complain about that, and this time, replacing it is going to be expensive - idiots! 😡 I'm trying to get a bit of work done, as I'm going out to a graduation party later - the daughter of a couple of friends. I still haven't decided whether or not to eat before I go. There's food, but it's a bit late for me. First World problems eh? 😉
