Selfie Weekend

[BillE]

Nice try Chris, being a squirrel I would have used the scope on my air rifle and squeezed one off rather than using the camera though

You don't know you're born! I'm the only dishwasher I've ever used, never owned one.
Since 7 this morning I've washed, dried and ironed 2 loads of washing, that and updating the forum, checking on errors, and answering moronic text messages, I've been rather busy 

[Black Pearl]

You've never owned a dishwasher?

Peasant!

Nope, I've never even seen one, don't know anyone who has one, I wouldn't have a clue how to use one.

Snob!

Setting the scene for the selfie theme:

Once upon a time there was a boat launch ramp, but now it is an entrance to a driving track:

Consequently, apart from the water in the kettle and the doggie drinking bowl, this is the only liquid I have access to this weekend:

The  middle one 's my usual tipple but two weeks ago I  found a Bombay London Dry Gin which is fanatstic Unlike most gins  it's botanicals are added by vapour infusion

Unlike many other gins, which boil their botanicals directly in the spirit, the 8 exotic botanicals in Bombay London Dry Gin are hand placed in a perforated copper basket.

I am very impressed by it ...in fact I am still testing  it !

Polly I'll have a look for that to see if we can get it as well as the Sapphire.

We love the distinctive taste, but it is so expensive, (usually about $90 a bottle), that we only have it a couple of times a year as a treat, or if I happen to be passing through an airport and get some duty free!!

[Clicker]

 Good grief that is EXTORTIONATE !It's about  £ 19;.00 a  litre bottle here...Imake that about £30 cheaper !!!

I'll bring you a dozen bottles Dee ...when I come and visit  !

I'd settled in to watch a bit of top telly last night when a little devil landed on my shoulder and began to whisper in my ear.

"Go on, I won't tell anyone, it'll be our boozy little secret. Just think how nice that Aussie Shiraz would be with a chunk of mature cheese and some crusty bread. Go on, it's Saturday night and you've been such a hero by not having a drink for eleven weeks. Go on, you know you want to. Go on, it'll be lovely."

But I had a will of iron. Nay, a will of the purest titanium.  I brushed the little twonk off my shoulder, told him to come back next week and had a small bar of dark chocolate instead.

Here, friends, I offer you the proof.

Play nicely children 

Lets put all the toys back in the box 

[Korky]

Red wine and ginger beer seem to be a lethal mix - should've known a thread where there's alcohol would cause bother.

Now..... if only you two soul brothers could be pure and clean and wholesome (like what I am), tiny trumplets such as yours would be a thing of the past.

Peace be all over you, I shall light fork handles and remember you in my chants.

Can we count just now as weekend?

This is the carport roof from upstairs window, 5 mins ago

Its grim isn't it Judy. Just back from a five mile walk and it poured down for the last three so I got home bedraggled and without taking any pictures.

Been up to the High Street - about 1/2 mile away. I usually walk but it was so horrible, I took the car - 30p parking -  spend £5 in Sainsburys and get it back.

Any pics I take today will be indoor or through the window. It's cold as well as wet

[Korky]

It isn't grim here - I had a walk to the library to get a book about indoor bowls. I got chatting with Mrs Grimstock while I was there, she's had a hip operation and can't walk far any more, poor thing. Her dog, Bumper, had a right old sniff at my trousers and seemed to get quite excited. No idea why.

How about this.....

Photograph the Oldest Thing you can find when you're out and about this weekend - lets see just how far back we can go.

As a building is likely to win (sorry no prizes peeps) you get extra brownie points for very old objects.

[Clicker]

The oldest thing I may be looking at ?.... Ahem .......Could well be a selfie then !!!

[Black Pearl]

Right then - beat this......

That a Devils Toenail and is somewhere between 66 and 250 million years old. Just found it on the beach at Saltburn.
