Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

The weather in Asheville has been glorious the past few days, sunny but not super hot nor cold, just perfect. We went for a hike with Sofi this afternoon and really enjoyed ourselves. The path we were hiking had various berry bushes so we got to munch on berries all the way, which made me think of Blue and his wife. The forest was very moist and luscious so pretty. Here are some pics from our adventure.

Great photos @Sassy Colombian what is the second berry as it doesn't have the same leaves as our blueberry ? Don't eat that mushroom!
 

I went out to the garage after the defeat to think about something else and finished varnishing the dinghy ,it is made from old pine and an old teak worktop ,all cast off wood :-

Not into boats but that's a thing of beauty Blue
Thank you .It is an essential if you want free fish ! Just another project in a way as we could have bought a rowing boat .I am trying to convince the wife to agree to an electric outboard because it is a bit short for two if one is in the middle it stands up on one end . It fits onto the trailer we have which is 2.7m ,9ft long with a little overhang .
 
Morning Mascoteers,

Wow , it is boiling hot already ( 8am).

Don't know about you but I find it so hot sleeping in this weather. Anyway due to break tomorrow so hopefully some rain and perhaps even a thunderstorm!

Amazing photos @Sassy Colombian looks like something out of Jurasic Park. Me and Mrs J were chatting about travel last night and although we are pretty widely travelled particularly in SE Asia we've never really wanted to visit the USA and probably need to do so.

Going to do a CV session in a bit then some relaxing yoga . Sat out for an hour yesterday and it wasn't too bad so might do the same again before I watch Chelsea v Spurs.

Everton - mon dieu! Ok the positives .... excellent spirit amongst the players and absolutely no doubt that they are really trying and putting a shift in ( especially Iwobi) . Defence very well organised. However ..............there is virtually nothing going forward and we just don't look like scoring . Without goals relegation becomes almost inevitable. It's not just a lack of CF ( although we are desperate for 1 even 2 strikers ) we just aren't creating much.

For me the balance of the team is all wrong. If you play with wing backs they need to start high up the pitch so you play with 3 at the back not 5.
We need 3 in midfiled otherwise we are overrun and 2 up top , perhaps split strikers.

If we don't learn lessons soon we will be in big trouble.

Anyway could be worse - we could be Man U spending a billion pounds on players to be that crap. At least we've only spent half a billy.

Have a lovely day y'all.

Spot on. We so need a striker! There are signs that things are coming together so I'm still cautiously optimistic about this season.

Lovely pics, Sass
 

Morning all, just been doing the ironing before it gets too hot. Have promised grandkids nos. 3 and 4 I will take them to the fun day in our local park this afternoon. Temperature of 34 forecast - what was I thinking, I must be crackers :Blink:. There was due to be a fun dog show as well but the organisers have taken the sensible decision and cancelled it. Don’t know which will be worse this afternoon the heat or the girls’ assault on my finances! Have a good day all.?
 
Spotted this thread and like it, been spending time on the Everton forum and the place is full of know-all connoisseurs of the game, it's good to finally find a sane thread with much more balanced people on it. The thread for me from now on.
You are here welcome ,please show respect and understanding .This is a coffee house :D
