That must make work difficult and very painful for him.
Seat belts have been compulsory in the UK since the 80s I think. I never used to use mine before then and it took ages for it to become an automatic thing to do even when I was a passenger. I'm sure they do save lives though.
Rose and I had our seatbelts during the accident. The airbags didn't go off though. Not sure why!

Good afternoon/evening all.
Happy Friday!
It was quite a nice day today and we even got to see the sun - until about 4.30 pm and then the heavens opened again and will stay open for the weekend with the return of strong winds. :( . I hope we have some decent 'weather' weather this year.

LOL....vanilla Ray. I had to buy chocolate last week but I still had enough vanilla for a shake! I asked bout the seatbelts cause I thought it was automatic for folks younger than me to wear them. I fell out of a car while playing with the door when I was a little kid (everyone should have known then) and my dad took seatbelts from a junkyard car and installed them in our car. It was pretty well enforced for all of us after that.

Kerry's coming over later this evening. I think we'll try to get the release code from Mint for my phone # so I can try Visible out. Got to get emissions done on my truck too but I can go to the self-serve variety.

Glad the weather is nice across the pond today for you today Lyn ........though all hell is getting ready to break loose for the Royals in 3-4 days!

I've always used seatbelts but I didn't start that for safety. I'm small and don't like not being held stable in a car. When they passed the seatbelt laws I barely noticed it. I think I'd be really stressed if airbags inflated on me.

No wonder you think you're Superman 😜. I used to say my youngest son could leap tall buildings with a single bound because he could and tried. He later did roofing among everything else.I had to watch him like a hawk. I'm glad to see you are getting through the covid thing though. Yeah 👍 Thank God for blessings.

Yeah, it’s Friday & finally some cooler temperatures! A solid 50, some sunshine too.

Dropped off the new Feeding Station to my “customer” who was very pleased with the end result.

Here’s one last pix prior to delivery.

It's really nice. What did you finally charge? And I'm wondering about the Blue Bird nesting houses. Will those entice them to come or do other small birds like them too? I haven't seen Blue birds for many years. That doesn't mean they aren't here. I may just not have suitable nesting spots.

.....that should have said 'winter' weather.......
We've actually got flood alerts out now for the local river, the defences are pretty good here so hopefully we'll be OK.
Can anyone lend me a boat though - just in case?

It's already started as bits of THE book and tv interview are emerging. Seems like nothing is sacred to him now.
Have a lovely weekend with Kerry, glad she's feeling better too.

We're supposed to get some snow today. We'll see. Promises promises.😉 that'll be better then a pond in my backyard. I'm about to turn my TV off so I don't have to hear how dysfunctional our rulers are for even one more day. And they call us peons dysfunctional whatever. And then to hear them tell it they have to reveal on the world stage what everyone already knew so we won't feel alone anymore 🤔😁😁😁 I'd love to lone you a boat ⛵ so we can sail away 🤗

Good morning/afternoon,
The rain continues but it did stop long enough for me to pop to the shop for Lola.
The river is really high but still has quite a way to go before it breaches the banks so I think we're OK.
It would be a big problem if any large trees fell and got stuck under our old bridge. That's what happened the last time the town flooded when I was much younger. Fortunately the waters stopped at the end of my street so our houses stayed dry. Hopefully the trees will be safe.
I hope everyone has a good Saturday.

It's been kinda nice today. I felt like hanging my little Feit camera outside. Especially after I saw that new larger beautiful woodpecker visiting again. I only managed to capture my little Downy. I'll get the bigger guy now that I have some energy.

What's really nice too is how I got more energy within 24 hours. Sabine and I were in agreement about the benefits of echanecea. She even advised me to take it to prevent covid here on TFO.🤗 and well I was laughing because I knew she was so correct 🤗 yesterday I started taking the angustifolia version for the first time and today my energy is returning. This time I know why I actually do need it though. I'm really glad I have an actual diagnosis. have lymphacitic colitis.

Do you happen to have Celiac disease?

Good afternoon.
Here, it is still extremely cold and windy. I managed to rush and buy a few things, after I heard that a further drop in temperature is expected with heavy rain.
Take care.

What season of the year is it in Jordan now? How are you and Ollie doing?

Winter. And it's extremely cold at this time of the year. It snows almost every year, whereas we all get stuck at home. It reminds me of lockdown during corona. During snow, nobody is allowed out. If one is in need of anything or if in need of help (God forbid), one has to call CDD (Civil Defense Dept.)

Oli and I are fine, thanks, though neither of us is enjoying this cold weather: we're both cold blooded.

Stay warm and dry Gillian. Have you had any snow yet this year?
