As a Yorkshire man, new posts from this person always jump out at me.


 Re: The blonde Golf thred... by Eck

On close inspection, it turns out that the tree that sneaked up on me is an oak.

At first I wasn't 100% sure, I'm not that good with leaf ID, it still looked a bit copper beechy to me, but then I saw these....

Hi Shaz, glad to hear you're going forward, albeit slowly. Små steg, as they say.

Don't overdo the döstädning. I inherited a lot of my dad's tools when he passed and I think of his hands on them every time I use them.

Thanks for that always wondered what an eclectic was when I see it on our HOWDIDO app. If you need a hand keeping it Tony I'm a plus handicap with excel just send me your card everyday and I'll send you a monthly automated update

Been getting out at least once or twice a week during all this depressing weather and playing a load of winter greens at times as it's raining so much up here. Been playing ok, Had a remarkable round couple of weeks ago. 13 normal greens 5 winters just in front of normal greens. Tees are up to the  front of yellows and a couple of the longer ones on the reds. Turns what is par 71 of white, 69 0f yellow to a fairly easy 68. Shot 70.

Need someone to start a book on which year KevB will finally give in and move to Thailand for good.

Ha ha Cos. I do love the country and people to bits, and oh my the food.

SHAZ! How the devil are you?  I hope yourself and himself are well.

Mrs Red makes sloe gin every year but muggins here has to pick the berries. I end up looking like a bad lion tamer.

When she's finished making the gin she uses the alcohol soaked berries in her home-made chocolate liqueurs.

Lethal they are.

Hello there Sir Red Dog!

We are both ok tyty.

Him indoors is really good, good enough to complain relentlessly about the Welsh weather and no sign of any gollf yet. He went out with some of the lads for breakfast this morning and I reckon the biggest topic of conversation was the lack of golf and too much weather!

I'm good, still on crutches but I'm allowed to start gentle excersises now and I'm looking forward to getting out when Spring arrives. I've not been allowed out on my own due to the risk of falling and not being able to get back up again, mad huh! I confess I don't miss people but I miss being able to jump in the car and head to the beach for a paddle and listen to the sound of the sea. Hopefully that will improve soon.

I've got hobbies ongoing and I've started doing the Swedish death clean (döstädning) it's a Scandinavian method of decluttering and organizing one’s home to reduce the burden on loved ones after death. Not planning to die yet but I'd like to get rid of everything I've collected that I don't need anymore. I might as well investigate EBay, vynil collectors  etc  and get some dosh for it before anything happens and his nibs just chucks it all in a skip! I still have books to send out, I've not long since learned that Royal Mail collect now so no excuses now! I have 3 areas in the house to put things, one for friends, one for EBay etc and one for the Cats Protection. Our somewhat shrinking black bin is always full. I miss Liverpool and the 3 bins - laughs.

I try and keep up with Blonde, it's a bit easier than it was which is sad. I try and keep out of politics as I could swing for one or two or three but I'm not the only one so........

When I do get out, I'll start to take pictures again. I'll have to ask how to post them as I haven't for years and the method escapes me.

I trust you and everyone at home are well.

Likewise everyone here.

xXx

P.S. The cakes look pretty cool!

What is young Mr Reece doing these days?

How are you keeping Mo?

Hi Tom, Hope you're keeping well.

When I was around 10 or 11 one of my Subbuteo teams was Shamrock Rovers and the players were not even !

Ah Ralph, good to hear from you! All good here, hope you’re doing well too.

On the subbeteo, I was a player myself, I had dozens of teams. They were the 3 D versions though! If you’re a fan of the Undertones, they’re from Derry and the cover art on their single, “My perfect cousin” had Derry subbeteo players on it and subbeteo is mentioned in the song.

My team is Bohemians (we won’t be bothering the top of the table) and Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians are sworn enemies!

I'm good too thanks Tom.

Love that tune. Teenage flicks?
