Hmmmm........I don't think you are!

Good advice @Clive

That's 20 dollars an inch!

I wonder if we can get that over here? I read Paddy Mayne's biography many years back and the evolution of the SAS from the Long Range Desert Group was pretty interesting. I think I've got Rogue Heroes on audio book too.

Trigger's broom?

After a couple of gallons of wine, who knows!

I think the idea is for people just to have a taste. I don't know how many are going, but I'm guessing about 60, so 30 couples, so potentially 30 different soups! Yeah, that wouldn't end well!

No, at the Salle de Loisirs.

First heard this when I was 16 and still play it regularly. What songs have stuck with you since your teenage years?

Still rockin' the shorts I hope you noticed. Fuckin' hard core, me!

We've got a soirée tomorrow with our club, where everyone takes some homemade food along and everyone tucks in. The club supply the aperitifs, bread and wine to go with it. There's also a soup competition, where people take along homemade soup to be judged by the others. We're doing carrot cake and a carrot and coriander soup.......well, when I say we, OH has "got to go to the office" tomorrow for an important event, so muggins is left with cooking duties! Hopefully no one will die!

Nah, not a tele person.

Today's little foray!

I used to use ACF-50, but can't seem to get it over here.

Sometimes even buying more expensive don't work out any better! I've got a couple of pairs of Merrel MOAB 2 Goretex shoes and a pair of Merrel goretex mid boots, none of which are particularly waterproof! I like the MOABs because they're super comfortable straight out of the box, but I don't know what they've done to the goretex! Not super cheap, but questionable quality! On the other hand I've also got a pair of Scarpa goretex mid boots and they seem to be pretty waterproof and are fairly light and pretty grippy and I've got a pair of Berghaus goretex fell walking boots. They're pretty heavy and rub slightly above my ankles if I don't tighten them correctly, but they're pretty bombproof! I've been through large puddles that almost come to the top of the boots, but no sign of any water getting inside! It's definitely a lottery, finding decent walking shoes and boots.

So it should be. Check out all those cans of WD40 on the shelf by the bike!

My OH doesn't sleep well so, consequently, neither do I! I have got one of those headphone headband things, which helps me get to sleep, but then the music wakes me up again in the early hours, so I have to take the band off. Have a listen to "The French Whisperer" on YouTube, he's very good at putting you to sleep!
