A Harris Tweed nappy! [Starting 'em young makes 'em tough!..........I had the Donegal version as a baby - overcoat 27ozs a sq yard (dry)!
shiny 🙂
and your gift for her ? ... (don't worry, we won't tell)
it's either from the La Perla holiday collection, or weekly foot rubs - you'll probably get better mileage from the latter 😉

I'm listening to Janis Joplin right now (CD). No yellow snow here, and we have a bunch of walmart stores but today is cyber Monday.
* Sunny this morning, cloudy this afternoon, cool tonight. I'm alive and that's the matter of the essence.

Jacco, you would have to foist Burl Ives on us - go chase some fat ladies (leaves the lean ones for me, heh, heh....).

No, we're actually not doing gifts this Xmas. We're spending enough going NYC for Xmas, Paris for New Years, London, then out to Wales (where the Mrs is from) with two teenagers in tow. Mucho $$$$$$$$$.
(I actually prefer stainless steel watches, but needed a pic of a Golden one) 🙂
Oh, and 36C forecast tomorrow, with my son doing bricklayer's labouring on his holidays. Hard work!
Upsides and downunder take turns with the nice and nasty weather. The heater was cycling on here in Cali (San Jose) as I wrote this.

(my cooking turns them porkers anyway, why waste my time and their disappointment. btw, my favorite mating word is Oink)
Bob, most are more occupied with the question for how long

My friend and garden help weighs 400lb, 30'' biceps, decades of boxing at a gym.
Has a rap sheet the length of your arm, ranges from environmental convictions for dumping polluted soil, to several ones for assault and battery, even did some debt collecting for the local mob, iirc.
He started out as a road brick layer, went bankrupt, turned wheeler and dealer of necessity.
The entire family of four eats fast food 7/7.
His two sons look like replicas of Bob & Li'l Debil Valkenheiser from 'Nothing but Trouble', 6'4'' and >>300lb, with faces like they last saw fresh vegetables in the previous millennium.

A decade ago he survived a kick to his head by the largest of his dozen Belgian/Brabant horses, the world's heaviest breed, his biggest does nearly 3000lb.
After his recovery, he continued to stuff himself with huge amounts of snack food each and every day, till he snapped the surgically placed rubber gastric banding.
Instead of accepting he had to go on a diet, he arranged a different surgeon/hospital that was willing to surgically reduce the size of his stomach (Billroth II).
Right after the operation, he got a CVA, can't count anymore, has trouble speaking.
About a month ago, his wife had a minor heart attach. Chances are high either of his two sons will go cardiac before turning 40.
Upside of trailer parkies is that rare few reach the legal retirement age, the true heroes of every pension fund around the globe.
Stormy wind/rain weather's gone here, all quiet again at the Western front.

THAT fat laddie was sitting next to my seat on an Are Lingus flight from Dublin to London back in the 60s. He really was a not very pleasant man. Rumours which I heard later confirmed that view. Buzzing of the bees etc!!!
Having spent the Summer moaning about the lack of water in the Tweed, things have now changed. We have had some rain and the first pic is the Tweed about .75 miles from home, the second id the Teviot - a tributary - also nearby. Only thing to be pleased about is that we are located on high ground.
The floods are doing a lot of damage and (from a purely selfish viewpoint) are taking out all of the salmon and other fish spawn already deposited.
WHY ARE UPLOADS FAILING?????
