Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven


Thanks Pete. Time to get stuck into the red wine now. Could get Messy later 😉
Two of my scouse mates are going on your cruise next week Jazz. She messaged me yesterday to say they've just booked it but when I looked just now they only have cruise only deals left and they want far too much for single occupancy.

Given the number of people on Arvia I doubt you'd come cross them anyway. But she's very loud and very scouse so you never know.

No no I'm on Britannia not Arvia.

Did that itinerary with Arvia last year. Great boat they will love it
 
Birthday just gets ever more strange.

Woodwork repaired and painted.

However fell off my ladder whilst repairing the wind damaged fence.

Fortunately I was only 5ft up and fell onto soil. No damage done except a sore right hand. Happily I drink with my left!

No work , just chillaxin now!
After many years of having to fix my old fence in the middle of cold wet winter evenings I went for a total replacement 18 months ago . We really get blasted by the winds up here with open fields at the back , so I researched panels and concrete posts , which you see everywhere in England &Wales but not in this part of Scotland. It was the first time my builder and his son had ever installed concrete posts , they did an excellent job . I’m hoping they’ll last quite a few years , I’m too old now for this repairing fences in the middle of winter malarkey 🙂 Glad it’s not your drinking hand and hope it’s recovering ok!
 

In that case you won't come across them then. You may still hear her though :rolleyes:

Did you have a good birthday lunch? What did you have? Something fishy?
Very good merci.

Calamari with spicy mayo and then Cod Parmigiana.

Delicious with a couple of glasses of Sauvignon Blanc.

Party's really begin now with a bit of Steely Dan and St Emillion.

The posts were fine , it was the bloody panel which came loose!

I built my own house and had fence panels every time we had strong winds I would lose some and as a builder i wanted to know why,there were two reasons 1/ there were no plants behind or in front and they break the wind force up to ten times there height and 2/ the panels were tight down onto the wall.When I lifted the panels up 2" I never lost another one with gales up to 90mph .This might be of some use to you -----or not .

That gap thing is why the second Severn Crossing never gets closed due to high winds. The older one always does.

Now that's really interesting.

I lose panels because Mrs J has stuff growing up them .

I never go for solid panels because of the wind thing but never thought of leaving a gap under them. Genius
