WCMUT....what cheered me up today

A pleasant drive around the back roads in Mrs Nod's car, despite the 40MPH DOF in front for 15 or so miles. Roof down, a gentle burble from behind (the car's exhaust, NOT mine!), sunshine and a gorgeous blonde beside me. Better hope Mrs Nod doesn't see this post!!! :D
 
Emissions warning light appears. Expecting a large bill due to cantankerousness of said car. Half hour labour, all sorted.
 
WCMUT... A nice drive in the Jazz through some back roads and town.
Slightly spoiled by a flatulent driver behind me who insisted on speeding up and slowing down.

Fresh, locally grown strawberries. :-)
 
Watching bats flying around as I walked home last night, fascinating :)
 
Wcmut - OK it's getting on a bit, but on days like these I'm quite happy with my old Quattro. It makes a little trip to the post office a pleasure. Even my wife and children who beg me to get rid of that old thing want to drive it today. Hehehe

Booked a few days off work in the hope they had got the weather right and it would remain sunny. Spent 4.5hrs just laying in the sun before hitting the gym this afternoon. More of the same tomorrow and Thursday too. (y)
 
Fancied an ice cream this afternoon so took the Trump out for a blatt down to Exmouth for a Devon Toffee Fudge cone. Delicious!

Did you manage to talk him out if these ridiculous presidential aspirations of his?

Oh..Ohhhh. :sulk:
 
About a gallon of fuel poured down his throat and exploded to produce a load of flatulent, noisy hot air sounds good to me!

Sounds about right!
 
Checking my lottery online, just now, found I had won £3.10 on the Eurolottery last night. Not a lot in itself, it is true, but with just one week to go before we are into September, I have had a win or wins on either my Euro or Lotto numbers, sometimes both, each and every month for over 2yrs. Sure I'm still running at a loss, but not a bad batting average for sure, but one day, one of them could be the biggie.(y)
 
I put my lottery money into a jam jar. And every few months I take it out, and celebrate a win! Yoohoo!
But my big dream is that someone will walk up to me in the street and hand me 10 million quid. Just like that. The odds are slim. But I can dream!
 
It's easier to keep the money and have it in notes. Then set it on fire. This will save about the same on heating costs as you will earn from playing the lottery :)

As part of a syndicate at work, we had many wins, some of them resulted in good wins, so much so we were actually in profit. A small profit, but a profit none the less. Other mates in another syndicate won around £70k each in one hit, so they would be hard pushed to be running at a loss.
If I want to save on heating costs, I can just put on a sweatshirt.
 
Precisely. They know that one big win gets talked about and keeps a lot of people paying in. And it keeps many winners paying it all back slowly over time too. The dream...
 
The greed...
 
Wcmut. Close to midnight, still 30 degrees, cold beer, hot pool and fantastic company.

Add to that a lucky dip from last nights lottery. (y)
 
WCMUT was actually managing to play better than my handicap! Now all I need to do is the same again next Wednesday...
 
Only Harvey...
 
But he's only a night time friend and too much time spent in his company makes him less welcome the night after! Of course, the night after that, he's welcomed back with open arms (and a finger in his ring!!! :ooerrmissus!!!:)
 
I just saw they are starting to harvest the hops here now. And it's looking like a bumper crop this year.

Here it's a massive hop growing region. With all the fields of hop vines everywhere, full to bursting. All the farmers are going to be mad busy the next few weeks. And the Oktoberfest is only a month away. Where everyone will be mad busy drinking the beer. They actually transport several tons of hop vines to the Oktoberfest, just for decoration of the tents and horse-drawn beer wagons.

Lots of hops around here too.
Let's hope the commodities brokers made some good decisions... Hops are a futures market.

Well known as in famous, or well known as in gets around.
 
Fairly famous but I doubt you'd ever have enjoyed their company!!!

Oh, I'm enjoying them in person as well...

Cheered you up simply because she's a lesbian?
 
Not a she or a lesbian - Lesbian... More Sappho than Ellen De Generes...
