By the time you get back I hope to have been to London for the conferring on my new Order of Mercy award. There will be no need to bow - just salute!!!<br />Peter G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-41262690586093246202009-07-11T17:51:21.942+01:002009-07-11T17:51:21.942+01:00OK, Tim Berners Lee can go on plinth - I feel I should have known that, and I hesitate to admit this, but I didn&#39;t know www. stood for anything, now I know it means world-wide web.....<br /><br />G, Ro has assembled several Billy book-cases - they are A Good Thing to start off with! It&#39;s things with drawers, or large things like wardrobes, when you need someone (or two) to support what you are trying to screw something in to. We&#39;ve also got arm-chairs with very springy wooden frames, which were quite difficult.<br /><br />We&#39;ve had two chaps and their lorry here this afternoon, sawing four tree stumps down (or slightly below) ground level. We were quoted anything from £800 to £1200 for digging out stumps and re-turfing. So we&#39;ll get Martin to turf round them - or possibly over them? Poison of some sort has been put into drilled holes, possibly that means we can&#39;t turf on top, so we&#39;ll stick a tub on them or something. Levelling all the stumps cost £100 cash, and two lots of tea and biscuits....<br /><br />Have a great time next week, lucky you with someone to look after garden. Are you allowed to take laptop?Jillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-55084277137790917672009-07-11T10:18:44.598+01:002009-07-11T10:18:44.598+01:00Second post?<br /><br />With your newly acquired expertise perhaps you should be yclept Mr FlatPack (which reminds me that after Ralph had been emasculated I called him either ‘Flat-Pack’ or ‘Sad-Sack’).<br /><br />I think you’re really quite proud of the Casio photo.<br />I take it the viewfinder converts SLR into sort of Rolleiflex?<br /><br />It’d have to be a VERY special occasion to pay £15 for afternoon tea, although Betty’s was £5 two decades ago (I couldn’t afford to treat Sandra too!)<br /><br />Not just Wetherspoons. Walking down Leeming Street I saw Yates’s had good offers also.<br /><br />We’ve no room for flat-pack furniture – even UNassembled.<br /><br />Yvonne:<br />The ‘Sun’ and ‘Mail’ have a lot to answer for!<br />(the idea that only foreigners’ get council houses was recently blown out of the water).<br /><br />Perhaps it should be renamed ‘caterpillar flu’?<br /><br />Jill:<br />I had to look up Berners-Lee too.<br />I’ve an old copy (my mother’s) of ‘Enquire Within Upon Everything’ which supposedly inspired WWW.<br /><br />Perhaps Bill Ivory is only dustman who would appreciate any old irony?<br /><br />AnonPeterG:<br />Thanks for recapturing days when discovery under back seat of cufflink (or more extreme adornment) would have been no surprise.bobnoreply@blogger.com
