Six of the best

This is the sixth time this year that I've had words with the selfish freelance delivery woman who was driving this car. I don't remember how many times it happened before the start of 2017, but it was a significant number.

The only English word she seems capable of uttering in my presence is "sorry" but she still parks like a tw@t so it's pretty much an empty apology. This time I needed to get my car out to deal with an urgent family matter (carers had called me to attend to my mother-in-law who is seriously ill) and I couldn't keep my temper under control when I found that the freelance fuckwit had blocked me in (again) despite the huge expanse of parking space to her near-side.

I guess she's one of the highly-trained highly-qualified people who, we're told, we have to import from The Continent because we, the Ignored Indigenous, allegedly don't have the requisite skill-set. Well, for the right price, I too could drive/park like a pr1ck, eschew the native language, ignore the rules of the road and not give a flying f*ck who I upset along the way. And no, I'm neither racist nor sexist, I just believe that our road-rules apply to all-comers, there's no exemption policy. When in Rome...

From now on, she should be in no doubt as to the consequences of her self-centred attitude - if she didn't understand my words, my body-language and my gesticulations should have got the message across:

Go on, tell me that it doesn't look like a Pokémon character being rogered by a somewhat surprised wall-socket:

My neighbour was clearing out her shed, she found this tank in a box of tools that belonged to her Dad, and she's kindly given it to me:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ironically, it appears to have better build-quality than my Kia 🙂

The long hot spell has given us the biggest and best yield yet from our cherry tree - plenty for us, and for the neighbours, and for the song-birds. I reckon we'll have picked about 50 lbs by the time we're finished.

Having two cats helps to keep most of the Woodpigeons away, the air-rifle deals with the others.

Looks like there'll be no more electoral posts for a while.

Here, have a cat video instead:
