The Shed

They'll almost need washing soon! there is a scientific way of determining this, Chris... when you throw them at the wall, and they stick...

Oh come on Steve, why the shock?? You're a prog fan of a certain age, you know how this goes, especially when it comes to music festivals... pants & socks worn to extinction, then turned inside out for another week or 2 (this also works to hide any holes which appear), then the trowing at the wall test to see if there's any adhesions, then the final stage is to give them a good beating with a large stick every evening...

...when they start to hit you back, then it's time to wash them - ie, give them to your wife/girlfriend/mother (all three if you hail from Norfolk) to wash.

ahem! I'm a "Norfolk Broad" !!!! Thankyou very much!

ok, I've had a trerrible morning, and am looking to the Shedders for sympathy as I'm home alone!

I went to the post as usual, I had to go 5 miles east to get fuel, return home, pick up the post, then 5 miles west to the PO, lovely sunny day so I was enjoying the pootle on the scooter.

I stopped off at a place (and I'm holding Fandango responsible for this bit ) where I know they sell Tyrells Beetroot Crisps, then continued my lovely sunny ride home. Turning right into a T junction I was clipped on the wing by "White Van Man" I lost balance, and toppled to my left, Bertie (the Scooter) managed to stay (albeit on his side) on the road, I ended up in a DITCH, a smelly, dark, dank, deep ditch! I hauled my self out, righted Bertie and got myself home....... Stripped in the drive, thew my clothes in the washer, and showered to within an inch of my life, I STILL smell of ditch.

But I've got a bag of Beetroot Crisps for lunch!  Had I not been buying the darned things I wouldn't be smelling like ditch water though  

But the good news is....................... it's raining in Rome today, so at least I have sun on my side!

Still miles from anywhere decent particlularly with the roads as they are here, as again you will know!   Do your family still live there? Do you go home much these days? I don't get home as much as I should. It's a long and expensive drive, I tend to see my Mum when she stays at my sister's place in Surrey, or I get up there maybe 3 times a year to see her.  We do speak almost every day though. I keep in touch with some friends, but really my friends have scattered to the 4 corners of the globe, one friend I get together with at gigs, as she's a right prog-head!    I loved the place, the people did my head in a bit though!     Nice pub in West Runton, can't remember it's name though!

There are a number of villages lying east of the Norfolk coast, and in a few more years there'll be even more
