Other Post So, how was your day?

At first it was Bandit and now Jake, both taken too soon....

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight,
To me did seem
Apparelled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.

It is not now as it hath been of yore;—
Turn wheresoe'er I may,
By night or day.
The things which I have seen I now can see no more.

It’s been quite a week with the aforementioned flat renovation, but TGIF and all the work went smoothly, and despite the very much gloomy autumn weather, this is a date and day I’ll remember.

I proposed just this afternoon « the one » which I occasionally mention by the term « missus » or Ms Jake. It was a bit presumptuous of me to call her that before. Ah she said yes by the way but I was very much expecting this precise reply.

This is the hand I’m going to hold for the next couple of decades, anyways:

Félicitations camarade!
 
Electricity supply has blipped a couple of times this morning - and there is 5-6" of snow outside that fell overnight, and it's very windy 50+mph

Don't like snow this early in the year - needs to give it a rest till at least mid-January
 
Melted snow here too, and I turned off the TV five minutes after they started making it some breaking news « snow in late November » yeah right. In 2010 at the same time we were experiencing -15c and about 30 centimeters of snow for over a week.

Better not be like 2010 - there was still snow on the nursery between the tunnels in June

This was the table and chairs outside the back door in 2010

Yeah November 2010 was very chilly and the snow was insane. In my whole life in my town an hour north of the city I had never seen anything like that.

It snowed heavily and for days on end hence your picture is similar to what we saw here. ☃️

Congratulations To Ye Both ..........................................................
 
I may have to invest in some new Gloves .. even though wearing 2 pairs , my fingers were numb with the cold .. as the day progressed .

A number of ignorant people out walking .. when out on the back roads ..and saw some cyclist not have the decency to let a motor pass him whilst i was standing overlooking across barnbrock . As if he's in a rush .. . to get somehwere . Another two came out of the woods with the lights flashing .. as i passed them i said "you don't needs lights on in the woods .. it's daylight " ...........
 
It froze, and it snowed some more - watched the new neighbours grit our road from my grit bin - using my nice shovel - and then it snowed again so that was a real waste of effort and material - they will learn

The main road at the end of our road there were loads of cars stuck, and then a soft top BMW came down the hill and splatted a couple of them - police van and police cars arrived - a 4wd then came down the nasty bit far too fast in driving snow and hit one of the police cars- oops

Given another day cold and then back up to 10 degrees

Congratulations Buddy. Smartest move I ever made & married way above my station. I can't imagine how I would have survived all the tuff tours with the wicked bad stuff I've seen without being able to come home to my wife that keeps the kids in tow & quiet for a few days while I decompress & rubs my head while the dark thoughts drain away.
 
Thanks buddy, it did take a bit of time, but having someone to share the up & downs in your life is totally worthy. That’s how other people outside this forum anyway complimented the engagement.
 
Walked into a mess ... the guy who started in the morning .. Left my section a disgrace , Never bothered his arse to replace what he used . .

And he's useless doing the board . Doesn't take the checks down of orders that's already gone 10/15mins later ... he asks if Xyz ..has gone even though it's already gone . ... and also spikes checks which still have desserts still to go .. ,

Utterly useless ...
