Apparently Marcus Rashford provided the half time refreshments from an ethically sourced, organic food bank.
He was quoted as saying, "If I'd brought a bit more I could have fed at least 5,000 in the stadium"
Silly bugger

Harsh , but I agree .

Wow , thatâs really quickâĶ.are you sure itâs wise to ditch them quite yet âĶitâs only two weeks , isnât it .
Hey Baz 
Feels okay...it wasn't a full on break like yours was...and only on the side of my foot...not my ankle or such like.
Infact....had my son drive me out to Milber woods for a gentle stroll... in a pair of dappy shoes 
Got other parts of my foot feeling a little tender cos of compensating, but generally am okay.....not gonna start running just yet mind 
The woods were lovely...see 365 ....no one there but my son & me....heaven

Oh ok Yes, I managed to smash mine in several places âĶon both sides of the ankle âĶ.hence the pins , plates etc. Who would have thought falling down just two stairs could do so much damage , eh 
Nice that you could drive out to the woods though . One of the biggest regrets I have is that I never learned to drive âĶ..my life would be so much easier if I had .

I got my provisional with the intention of getting on the road....posted it on t'other place last Jan, but then the pandemic got in the way........ made some enquiries recently....have been told there is a backlog so may have to wait a little longer......well at least until my foot is better huh
Who knows...in a few months I may be able to come pick you up for a visit to Devon

I have to admit I was seriously having lessons a couple of years ago âĶbut bliddy Covid put paid to that

Will you have a go at continuing?
I took lessons many years ago....I was paying for my sister to have them as a thank you for letting me & the children stay with her and thought if she was having them , then so should I....but was not keen tbh and gave up after about 10 lessons.

I doubt I will now Slim. I did have lessons back in the 1970s âĶ.and got as far as my test , but then I found out I was pregnant with my son âĶ.we had been trying for a long time , so I was scared the stress of the driving test might cause a miscarriage âĶ.so cancelled it âĶ..and have not really driven since .

That's a shame
My brother ....the dodgy one ....had his friend take his test....was no photo ID back then
Baz and Slim
You can both do it - it's as simple as that. See how this year pans out

Hey Baz
Yeah is a good day so far
I've hidden some of the cookies...... to take over to my place at the weekend ...gonna try my foot to the station....only a 10 min walk ...usually ...son will pick me up t'other end.
Having an outside tap is a good move...we have one...and a rain Butt with a tap ....does make life easier

Good move with the cookies . Iâm sure you will make it to the station , just take it easy . I could hardly make it from the lounge to the kitchen this time last year , now Iâm up to about 4/5 k .
Yes, I donât know why I hadnât thought about it before âĶ.it wasnât until Ros mentioned it that I thought about it . I am finding carrying watering cans around a bit much at the moment âĶ.plus I can use it to clean patio . I do have a hose , but the connection doesnât really fit properly on my kitchen tap âĶ.so I donât use it cos I end up with spray all over the kitchen !

Ha! been there done that
We were fortunate that the out building has water to it, so was just a case of drilling through the wall to add a tap outside.
also made it so much easier to fill the pool....not having to have a hosepipe trailing...to fall over

Iâve got one of those power washes to clean off the bird mess , but I canât use it âĶ..I have to chuck buckets of water over the patio âĶ.which doesnât really do the job !
