Sounds good Mick. You can't be a million miles away from me. Blimey, I'd love a drink. Just to chill and to take the edge off things. I've not touched a drop since Friday 4th December 2021. That's some achievement for me - for anyone who likes a drink I guess. Enjoy your tipple and the rest of the day mate. Peter

Even my vet mentioned this and said don't flea your dog every month routinely. If they're not infested with fleas don't do it - simple. I don't flea Ace any more. He's relatively free of fleas and stuff - well he doesn't scratch himself silly nor his he in any discomfort so I don't bother. I'm just one - but it's got to start somewhere. Peter

How boring is this; not even a sound track! Ace is barking now though. Excuse the mainly scruffy yard - it's as much Ace's exercise/play space as it is a garden. fence.mp4

Hi Stephen Any action? I find that when people "cone off" out side of their house to try and stop other people parking I get very irritated. My friend Guy, he lives on a pseudo posh street, and some people cone their area off. When I go and visit Guy - not very often due to my mentalist issues, and find they've coned their area off, I simply chuck the cones in their garden and park there. Mm, I should have said they live next to Guy. Peter Peter Parking Meter (maid). I've like all the posts but I ran out of likes. That's what Mikes been doing - monitoring the likes! (sorry Mike I couldn't resist).

Well, it's the final summer Bank Holiday, always a marker for autumn. So what are you up to? Resting, out and about, at a venue, home chores? I don't go out save for necessity due to my mentalistic state. So, I'm weighing it up - point up the little bit of garden wall which I'm going to paint bright yellow, or finish treating the wooden fence; it feels like there's so muh of it. There isn't really, I just lack motivation. I'll also be playing with Ace in the garden. Oh, I'll also be popping in here. So, how's about you? Whatever you're doing enjoy yourselves and stay safe. Peter

Yes it must be. In one way I'm pleased I managed to kick the vinyl habit in 2018 - giving my last modest collection away for free sort of sealed it. I suspect lots of people are swapping and selling bits to get the new records they would like and to keep the collection fresh. Notwithstanding that, there are still some people about who have plenty of disposable income, and there are far more damaging things to buy with it than vinyl. Peter

Now there's a record mate. First heard that at Wigan - one of Sir Dickies. Peter

He looks a nice big boy. Peter

Hi Karen I hope you're ok? What a shame about the lack of bees and butterflies - all of that natural habitat and food. Good of the farmer to take part in the government scheme. I love horses; do you have any photographs. There are two ponies in the field at the side of my house. Peter

I have grey squirrels that frequent the trees in next doors drive; I don't mind them. However, my Doberman rescue Ace, cannot abide them - they torment him, I'm sure for the sheer pleasure of it. They run along the fence but never put one foot in our garden - they know he'd have them good and proper. He's a right labour of love my Ace, poor boy has really bad arthritis in his back legs. He's only just turned nine as well. He's so reactive to other dogs and animals I can't take him anywhere. He only gets dark night walks, only when he is calm. He's a labour of love, but I love him to bits. Poor boy was so badly treated before I got him.

Hi Rick I hope you're well my friend. We could all maintain a reasonable speed back in the day, and the speed was reasonable too. Peter

Oh come on. If you want to get all prickly about something find something to get prickly about. I'm sure my contribution to the thread didn't spoil anything for anyone. Peter

And he does it consistently which is why so many people sell their records via him. People knock him; but his track record speaks for itself; he knows his stuff. I mean he's been around forever............ Peter

I'm gonna have a Bobby hour now........................

Anything good. Well, this is what I have on, this is good.

Was it a serious point, I mean, milk and biscuits? I did used to have a KFC before I had my ................................................. Peter

Someone must have bought a favourite record at that price. Additionally, Johnny knows how to run an auction. I think it's one of those records - you either love it, or............................................ Peter

Amazing insight and knowledge Rob, as always. Gordy is music's Don King of boxing. I hope you're well and manging to relax a bit Robb my old friend. Best wishes Peter

A bit further north than Bestwood Simon. It's Sutton in Ashfield. Peter

I agree; it isn't fair. Some "mug", or unfortunate, enthusiasm filled individual will probably be parted with their cash. The issue is the sellers, not the unfortunate mug. Yes, people not in the know should check, but people are people. The seller should be reported. Peter

This looks quite interesting; a new observatory in north Notts, about forty minutes away from me. It might be of interest to other SS's, Steve? A five million pounds new resource should attract quite a few visitors I would have thought. Sherwood Observatory (sherwood-observatory.org.uk) Peter Pet

Hi Steve Things not so bad here thank you. I don't get back to Mablethorpe at all; it feels a bit sad (of me I guess), but I just moved on from there. I last went beck in 2018 I think, I was asked to speak at Dorothy Gray's funeral - the showman family who used to run the amusement fairground there. It was quite daunting but I did it. I'm still in touch with a couple of people from there. How about you and Boston? Sending you my best. Peter

Sounds like Barbara Mason to me. Peter

Hi Steve I hope all is well with you my old friend. Charly need to get their finger out. I hope that they refund you more promptly than they've dealt (or not dealt) with your order. Sending my very best wishes. Your friend. Peter

My four sunflowers are doing reasonably well, although the wind blew off the first bloom the other day. I'll exceed my previous height record (not that impressive) this year, with my best one standing at 13 feet and still growing. Peter
