Is this a ruffe or double ruffe ?Thankfully this train of thought seems to be flounder-ing
So perhaps people should stop carping on, and brace yourselves for the non fish theme tomorrow.

So one day a man is driving along in his car, and he gets a flat tire. Now, luckily, he gets the flat right in front of a farm. So he gets out of his car, walks over to the farmhouse, knocks on the door, and the farmer steps out. Now, the man starts talking to him about his flat tire, but he can't help but look over at the fields and see a three-legged pig. So he finishes up telling the farmer about his flat tire and he says: "Oh, by the way, how'd that pig over there lose its leg?"
The farmer says, "that pig, over there?"
"Yep."
"In the fields?"
"Mhm."
"With three legs?"
"Uh-huh."
"Why," the farmer announces, "that there's a hero pig! Yessir, that pig saved my life. You see, one day in the winter I was out fishing in the pond, when I fell right through the ice! And that pig comes rushing down the hill, dives right into the freezing water, and drags me out. Saved my life."
"Wow," the man says, "what a brave pig to dive into that water, save your life, and lose a leg in the process!"
"What?" says the farmer, "no, no, no, that's not how he lost his leg!"
"Then how'd the pig lose its leg?"
"You mean that old pig?"
"Uh, yeah."
"That one grazing over there?"
"Yep."
"The one I just told you about?"
"That's the one."
"Why, that pig's a hero pig, I tell ya! Saved my life! Y'see, one day the chicken coop caught on fire, and that there hero pig bolted in, pulled me out, pulled the chickens out, and by God he saved all the eggs, too."
"Man, that pig really is a hero, to save you, the chickens, the eggs, and lose a leg while doing so."
"Pfft, that ain't how it lost its leg."
"Then how'd that pig lose its leg?"
"That one?"
"Yeah, yeah."
"The one with one missing leg?"
"Yeah, that's the one."
"The one you're pointing to?"
"That's the one."
"Why, that there pig's a hero pig! One day two robbers broke into my house and stuck my wife and I up! And just as they were about to pull the trigger to shoot us, by God that pig came barreling in, knocked the gun away, and bit the fiends until they were off the farm!"
"My God, that is a truly brave, noble, and heroic pig, to save you and your wife and get its leg shot off in the process."
"That ain't the way it lost its leg!"
"Oh, come on! It dragged you out of a pond, saved you from a fire, chased away your would-be killers, how on Earth did that pig lose its leg?"
"Oh, you mean that pig?"
"Yes, that pig."
"That one over there?"
"Yup."
"You sure?"
"Yes, yes."
"Well, you see, a pig that good, you can't eat all at once."
The farmer says, "that pig, over there?"
"Yep."
"In the fields?"
"Mhm."
"With three legs?"
"Uh-huh."

I’m looking forward to half a Neck Oil soon, once I’m recovered a bit more
And the other half or 3?
Get well properly and as fast as sensible!

Thank you. I think 3 halves and I'd be dancing on the table (if I could get up there!.) I confess I did have a can (a half pint!) at home the other evening. I almost took a photo and then decided it needed enjoying insteadAnd the other half or 3?

and oh boy I did! I have been sensible though, and haven't had any more alcohol

Dappled light.

Feel free to post a letter of compliantWhat you mean like 'round and round the maypolepost' ?

But the idea is a "post" could almost be anything up right and erect
Lamp post, sign post, gate post, just get it posted, post haste

Light can mean anything, its a very wide ranging subject.
Perhaps some did post images of a lamp post, I don't know I don't look.
But if that was the extent of their imagination....
Yep, it always starts off easy, to ease people in, but once they get proficient, it does and will harder.

Just had a little walk with my phone - not wanting to carry extra weight as I’m still on crutches. It struck me, that this is one of the easiest themes we have had as there are posts everywhere - whether you are urban or rural. What a great theme!
Funnily enough a woman ended up backing up 50m (in her car ) to see if I was alright. I was holding my phone aloft waiting for her to get her car out of the scene. I now realise she probably thought I was trying to get a signal. I suppose you don’t see many people in country lanes on crutches.

I don't like to rush the technique. I managed some road sign posts in dappled light this morning. With my limited mobility for the next few weeks I was tempted to use it just in case, but I have been brave and am holding off.
Now now! Play nice!!If I think about it long enough, I maybe able to avoid that possibility
