  1. With the lockdown and social distancing, I am finding myself often not knowing what day of the week it is... When I remembered that today is Friday, I realised I hadn't taken photograph number 3 for the 52 out of 52 challenge I have set myself, to try and take one new black and white photograph each week over a full year. And the rules state that each week's photograph should be uploaded before midnight each Friday. As I type this, it is currently 23:25 hours. Due to the fact that I am currently, under Government covid-19 regulations, not supposed to leave the house or garden, I have limited choices of what to photograph at present. This is what I came up with:
  2. It went really well, thanks for asking. Continued clearing out the final, badly overgrown, corner. That should be finished soon.There'll be another bonfire to get rid of all the brushwood. Should be the last big bonfire, though. Also started turning a bit of soil for my vegetable growing.
  3. Hey, Page Hope you're having a great Friday, as well
  4. I'm not a religious man at all (that's not to say that I'm not spiritual), but I will follow @dughlas' quotation of scripture with another one from the Bible (Timothy, Chapter 6, Verse 10 - King James Version: "For the love of money is the root of all evil" A powerful piece, Gary. Words that need to be said, need to be said loudly, and need to be said often. You may say that it's not a political piece of poetry, but I think many would disagree with you. Thanks for writing this. And thanks for sharing it with us.
  5. Hey, Gary. Hope you're having a great Friday.

    Chapter 27

    I love a happy ever after ending! Thanks, Cynus. I was completely clueless as to who Silas was intending to call. Initially, when you wrote "It had been some time since he had talked to anyone from home" I was assuming you meant anyone from Crow's Lake, as that seems to me to be the place that Silas would think of as home now.

    Chapter 26

    I loved the exchange between Silas and Adam in the police station. I just hope Braids doesn't get the wrong idea of the relationship between the two of them. I'd forgotten about Officer Higgins' involvement until right at the end of this chapter. Hopefully no-one is seriously injured (although it could be someone shot Officer Higgins? ).
  8. Greetings, young Albert!
  9. All hail clochette, the fairy princess!
  10. That shot of me must have been taken an awful long time ago...
  11. So, is that what wee Drew looks like? He looks slightly taller (not to mention older) than I imagined he would...
  12. There doesn't seem to be an end in sight for the current spell of settled weather here in Ireland... Which means I have spent just about all my time in the garden, and haven't got round to deep cleaning my kitchen yet. And it also means that I cannot be 100% sure that the repair my builder did to my gutter has definitely stopped the leak. But the weather will break eventually (this is the west of Ireland, after all).
  13. Well if he wants a job as my gardener...
  14. As long as it's only up to its navel
  15. Everybody's big, when standing next to Drew.
  16. Just because what? Just because he needs a shave?
  17. Yea, yea, yea, clo. We might believe you, but thousands wouldn't!
  18. I sincerely hope you meant to say "milestone" there, clo...
  19. Hopefully it's nothing more serious than a bad case of w*nker's cramp...
  20. And many of them, Gary. (Thursdays,, that is)
  21. We could hear you over here in Ireland, Val
  22. Hey, Page! Hope all's well in Pageville...
  23. A somewhat belated G'day right bakatya, Gary!
