Simister Island is nightmare am so glad I dont go anywhere near the M60 to get to work and back.
Mind you we are surrounded by temporary traffic lights all round us as new housing is being built, the SEMMS road construction and pothole repairs aplenty so getting out of the village and back can be a pain in the buttocks

Warning: Mini Rant
The number of dog owners in this town that walk their dogs without a lead beside roads simply astonishes me. The owners cannot with certainty know that their dog won't bolt and besides which, if I recall correctly, it is an offence to have your dog off lead within a built up area as they are not considered to be under control.
OK I am done
Hope everyone and their fur families are well today.
It is illegal, the latest version of the animal welfare act makes it an offence, I point it out to various owners I see doing the same, they are none to happy about it either, and I reserve my best "well if you dont f###ing do something about it I will report you" for the ones that turn nasty.
I make a point of telling out lovely PCSO's the info to, none of which are aware it is an offence.
We had snow here saturday too, was gone by sunday lunch time though, Cliffy not overly pleased as he has very low tackle that ploughs through the snow, but he is a good boy and does go though.

Marion has just texted me, she is still piggy backing her neighbours wifi but that has now blocked her from the refuge, she is just getting the same message as before
Ooooooo Laurel and hardy, i fancied having a crack at beer and wine making...is it hard??
Its pretty easy really, easiest of all are the kits and can be nice tasting, especially if you buy some additional hops and add them in, next up is extract brewing, similar to kits but slightly more involved, after that its using all grains and steeping in hot water for an hour (63 degrees C to be exact) then boiling with hops, the most important bit is steralising everything to an OCD level or it wil spoil.
my friends dog has heart failure, shes saying goodbye today
Aww so sorry to hear this its heartbreaking isnt it.
Had a call from the vet. Basically they don't know what's wrong with him and it could be a number of things so it's a case of ruling things out one by one. They are going to send some samples off to the lab today and also do another scan more slowly. They've done an x-ray and the only thing they can see is that his spleen looks slightly enlarged, but again that could be due to a number of factors. He's brighter this morning but he's not eating or drinking still. If he stays bright and they can get him to eat something then he may be able to come home later while we wait for the results of his blood tests. I asked about the potential bone marrow problem and they said it was too early to do a bone marrow biopsy then as he wanted to rule other things out first. So much for the YTS girl who examined him yesterday. I'm taking Lily to the vet at 4.20 so should be able to see him then.
big hugs for Timmy hope its something and nothing as they say. When Poppy went off her food I gave her cheese, tuna and chicken, all at the same time smooshed up, she loved it!
Not much to report, Cliffy update is I popped him in the bed last night, got in, he snuggled up to me then 10 minutes later decided he prefered in the bed rather than on it, and he snores !!

Just had a message from mum about Ted, she has taken him to the vet and he needs blood tests and his poo analysing. So she has asked me to pay half the excess on his insurance.
I might have let rip a bit. I told her that I recall the vet telling her not to feed him fish any more and that his health is more important than the feelings of the pet shop owner. I also told her that I was really upset about how dad spoke to me with his dash cam and that he was rude and ungrateful. Am pretty stressed at the moment - my accountant did my tax return last night. I usually have to pay £2500 in January and July. This year she calculated I have to pay £7000 in January and £4000 in July
I was not expecting the bill to be so huge as I haven't worked that many more days in the 14/15 tax year to justify such a whopping increase in my tax bill it does sound like you may need to clear the air, and if that doesnt work then the only choice may be to let rip, either way they should be left in no doubt what they are doing is wrong, can you call up the vet and tell them what diet he is on. anyways a big
for you for Timmy too.Nothing to report here that I can think of, Cliffy is doing well and hogging most of the bed at night.
Oh I made some beer yesterday so have that on the go, fingers crossed its ready in about 6 weeks or so.
Thats all - carry on !

Hi all, hope you had a nice time of it, very windy and lots of rain for the last couple days here
Before I forget its Cliffy birthday today so a happy birthday to my sometimes grumpy but a very snuggly 14 yo daddys boy
I cant post pics here at work but will try when I get home this afternoon, failing that I can whatsapp his pic to someone and some kind soul on here can post them for me as my PC struggles to load them sometimes.

I've ordered curry from a new place I've not tried before. Hope it's nice - so hard to find a decent curry house these days where the curry doesn't look like baby food.
Hi all
Merle Have you tried Namaste in Didsbury, its diagionally oppoiste the Metropolitan, place looks a bit rundown (well it did the last time I was there a couple years back) but excellent food as its Nepalese, as is the Gurkha a few doors down (same people own both).
Umm not a lot to report, bah humbug to Christmas, and Cliffy is just fine.
Oh I got my AC/DC ticket for the Ethihad in June of next year, the band is like a bus I waited 20 years to see them now seeing them twice in 11 months

Great news Snow
Alicia - I'm 30 now and no grandchildren for my parents (and probably never from me
). My brother is 24, getting married next year, so I suspect they may get some grandkids there Is that the one you're determinded to take a plus one to
Moaning

The security people in Canada couldn't have been nicer.
Greeting us with warm welcomes and smiles, and the chap with the sniffer dog politely asked (asked not told or demanded) could we possibly lower our backpacks etc to the dogs level as he was only an ickle spaniel, needless to say he got a lot of fuss and attention and nobody minded the queue wasnt moving very much depite a 9 hour flight
The dog not the man i mean
-
for you Griff
Woke up this morning Cliffy had crawled under the duvet; stuck his head on the other pillow and was flat out asleep the cheeky monkey. He was lovely and warm too !

Its a bit miserable out there today. The dogs and I have been out for a bike ride. I then had a shower to clean off and warm up a bit, and think we'll be staying in as much as possible the rest of the day if it doesn't brighten up a bit.
Bloody hell your dogs can ride !!
what bikes were they, Boxers
I'll get my coat..

took Cliffy out for his usual walk last night, lots of fireworks going off all around, and a major display just down the road in the next village, all Cliffy wanted to do was find the best spot for a wee; get home have his tea then snuggle up close on the sofa; he is such a daddys boy!
Am glad I have a bullet proof dog, no doubt there will be more tonight and the mahoosive one in the village tomorrow, I have taken him before he quite likes it.
shoulder is getting better, need to crack on with making some more chutney this weekend as stirring is good therapy

Glad you managed to get some treatment at such a bargain price LnH
We might need a photo or two of Cliffy to make sure he is looking good and hansum
I will post some if I get a chance, am at work at the mo on lunch and all my pics are either on my PC at home or my phone so once i figure out how to do it I will if I can

Sam hope you feel better soon here a big
for you.not much to report really, my frozen shoulder has been muchly sorted by a friend who is a trained massage therapist and found I had torn my shoulder muscle in several places, lots of painfull stretches; pummelling and other contortionist type movements it feels so much better a lot free'er and looser to move around, however it aches like buggery today; the cost? A couple of cups of tea and some home made jam; chutney and a bottle of home brew beer that makes great gravy or sauce if used in a stew (beers crap though if you drink it)
Boiler getting very intermittent showers need to be 90 seconds or under or the water goes really cold and it doesnt ignite again, same goes for the central heating, so I called the plumber who installed it 13 odd years ago to ask him to replace it as it has had a hard life, not only did he remember me, the boiler and house but the fact I have a (slightly) nutty neighbour - which was nice
Cliffy all good and looking very handsum, he got mistaken for a puppy the other day which was funny as he can be a grumpy old man at times.
Thats all, carry on !

whats everyone else up to today
Good news Suzeanna !!
bleurrghhg have the plague at the mo so have felt better but am slowly improving.
PS its the PLAGUE, not man flu OK !
just saying lol.. -
Meant to add - after I got home from my crappy day, my brother's wedding invite had been posted through my door. There is no +1 on it. They obviously think that I have no chance of finding a bloke between now and June. Me being stubborn means I am determined to take a +1 to this wedding
Spoke to my mum tonight (to break the bad news that Judge Judy isn't filmed in New York, so we can't go and see her courthouse) and asked if I find a bloke between now and then, am I allowed to take him. She said they might be able to squeeze him in somewhere.So if anyone knows of any fit, eligible blokes in the north west, let me know
No Comment lol
hahaha -
I watched the Alexander Armstrong program too, what stunning scenery, and 3 months of darknes too, yes please

this weekend sees the last flying Vulcan making its farewell tour so I will be watching it tomorrow as it flies within a mile of my house.
they were all built at Woordford which is just down the road from where I am.
after that its picking as much of my Damson crop as I can freeze ready to make jam chutenys wine and gin, not neccesarily in that order of course.
oh and Cliffy was sound asleep head on the pillow all tucked in the bed (my bed) when i woke up; cheeky monkey !

Found out last night one of my old teachers at school has cancer and its taken a turn for the worse, reading between the lines he doesnt have much longer left.
one of my old school friends added me to a face book group set up, in under a week over 4000 messages from old pupils have been posted which just goes to show how much he influenced generations of kids, he was one of my favorites too
