A busy sounding weekend Sean... but ones I like...time does indeed fly when you are enjoying yourself

Today I decided since it was such nice weather I would paint my mother's garage door since the paint had gone flat and each time you touched the door you got copper beach stains on your fingers. Not my preferred colour for a door but well dad had at least still more than 1/2 of a tin of Dulux Trade paint left so I thought I might as well use it since my late dad did not like waste. Anyway a couple of mum's neighbours thought I was doing a fine job and it matched in with the house so that made me feel not so bad ..in fact if the weather is as good tomorrow I will give it a second coat since if I don't the reaming paint in the tin will just solidify

Save journey Robert and I hope it is a worthwhile trip.

Sink or swim Sean.... good luck but I have been there and done it and I have to say it is challenging and it "could " maybe work out to your advantage
-
Best of luck Robert...best get your self a Doric book of words since if its one of the two areas I thin are going well I think you may well need it to understand what the locals are saying

Personally Tim ... I think it is good these saying's are kept alive and passed down. It was only yesterday at the Black Isle Ploughing match at Conon - Bridge did Ian William's from Maud in Aberdeenshire mention to me it was Candlemas Day the next day to which I retorted ( Be clear and fair) since I can only remember that few lines that my late father would have said like poetry in motion to me. I regret now I did not write down some of his saying's but at least I have the memory of the ones I remember

It's 15.45 on Candlemas day here in Aberdeenshire and it has been dry and fair most of the day and the sun is still up.....but what does this mean
The old proverbs say...but are they true
If Candlemas day be clear and bright
Winter will have another fight
If Candlemas day brings cloud and rain
Winter won't come again
Well... I do hope ancient proverbs are wrong since the sun is still shining here in Aberdeenshire...and I like it...the days are getting longer

Aye but I'm sure you will make up for it when you get home

Happy "Ask for more" Robert

I had to laugh at that last post Joe....had you been a prisoner of war you would have been the camp scrounger since whatever was asked for you would have searched for and found it

Yes Kenny he was. When the lorries came out I said I would not buy but I have waited and now got three at discounted prices. There is also a horse box one and a tanker one that I know of but I'm not so keen on them...unless the price is right

Just drew the turkey for tomorrow, and I don't mean with a pencil!
I recall hearing the story of a farmer and son from Oldmeldrum had a big problem doing that to one turkey one year since it was more a kin to the size of an ostrich than a turkey......not to be beaten they managed to draw its neck with the aid of the the bench vice in the workshop.
