Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[blue1948]

Three years ago I started a project to replace my garden fence , wooden posts which kept snapping at ground level and trellis- type panels always breaking. Very strong southerly winds just whipped across the fields unhindered and often broke a post causing the whole fence to panel to fall and put weight on the next post . Always in a winter storm , usually 6 o’clock at night when it was dark , trying to get it back in place it was a nightmare. I got a builder to put in concrete posts and slide in solid panels , unheard of in this part of Scotland , I think I put some photos on here at the time. So far so good . Propping up fences in the middle of a storm is a nightmare, well done on getting it done.

I had a problem when I built my house ,we were exposed to the winds and the brick pillars kept snapping ,after three insurance claims the guy suggested I leave a two centimetre gap below the panels -job done they never fell again ,now the bushes and trees have grown behind so the dynamics have all changed.

Looks like I got it all wrong. We are playing so much better and the results are wonderful. I hold my hands up “he’s got red/grey hair and I don’t care “. I hope it continues

Too soon for me to change I think anyone coming in would have had a more positive outlook and the team followed .

Good morning all on this dark windy one here .I hope all are well and had a good night . I strayed over onto some other threads and couldn't believe the bad posts about Mangala and his performances ,I really like him and would have no second thought if he was signed permanently .Some scaid he is too slow -they must have never seen Peter Reid or Bracey ,it is the brain and the touch that matters as well.
I love that last week it was the injuries Spurs had ,this week it is Brighton out of sorts ! With little mention of the fact we were down to ten men . I thought to a man they were all good yesterday as they looked a potent side going forward .Have a great aday all ,COYB

Hello, how are we all? Nice win yesterday.

I'm a bit miffed, I've been waiting for Daisy's new coat, turns out my neighbour has had it for days but didn't bother putting a note or anything through my door to let me know who does that.

It's too small as well despite following the size guide, 3 bloody weeks I've waited, so I'm peed off.

Some people are so inconsiderate, enough to make your blood boil. Have you missed the cut off point for returning it?

I'm not going through the rigmarole of sending it back too China G. That's the last jacket I buy online, I've bought 4 and only one has fit. I am going to just goto pets at home next time.

That’s so annoying! Could you not stick it on vinted and get some of your money back?

I am not good doing stuff like that, my niece is going to see if it fits her dog. I had a bit of a mare getting it on her anyway so won't be getting that style again.

The storm clear up continues in Ireland and I just heard that at the peak, 1.1 million homes were without power including 30% of the North. Travelling through the Midlands and into the West over the weekend I got to see the devastation of large tracts of forests destroyed and numerous houses with damaged roofs. We were so lucky to avoid any damage at all and no interruption to our power either. One person lost their life sadly but I think the clear message from both Govts to stay inside saved many other tragedies.

On more positive notes, what a fantastic win on Saturday!! Credit to Moyes for making an immediate change to results but he still needs fresh legs in now.

There were Swallows spotted in Co. Down in December which is just as wrong as can be. Nature is in the midst of a major time of change.

Morning all. I’m suffering with a bad head cold at the moment , a day in today I think. I’m also starting to see the changes occurring in the garden and on my runs, it always brings a smile to my face as I start to see the Snowdrops emerging in the hedgerows. Another few weeks to get to their peak and I’ll enjoy my run down Snowdrop Alley . Have a good day all.

Morning guys. Hope you're all well today. Weather is still wet wet and more wet but at least not a storm I suppose.

I have been giving Daisy probiotic chews to help with the itching and scratching, they do work actually but quite expensive. So this month I am going to try some better more expensive food that is supposed to help with itching, It's doubling what I am spending on Harrington's but if it does the trick, I'll save money on the chews. What a parp.

That's it, nothing exciting happening in T Town. Have a good day.
