So I didn't realise what I let myself in for when I bought this house.
The previous ownerscl were elderly and let the gardens go a bit. I've spent the last three weeks buying garden machinery and working hard to reclaim parts of the garden from overgrowth of trees and weeds.
I'd have run a mile from this work for the past twenty years, did a bit of landscaping in the US when I lived there, but I'm actually getting something out of it now. You forget so much like wearing gloves, I've little cuts and scars all over my hands at the minute.
The one thing I'd never used in my life was a strimmers/brush cutter, awesome piece of equipment. Next job is to cut back plants at the rear of the back garden. There's stone going the whole way around but not visible in may parts.
I'm actually enjoying all this work, feel much better too. It feels like I've been doing weights in the gym.'Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you' - Bill Belichick

Somewhat related, there must be a serious boost for current chart songs that can coordinate a TikTok challenge/dance with a songs release.
The Macarena was ahead of its time.

Tiktok dance vids are a couple of seconds long and you have a small tiny cut of an entire track.
Like when this advert came out
coolest shit ever, great track, 100% buy it now.
Then getting hit with this pile of musical wankology

first 30 seconds soaring excitement, then a complete collapse of any momentum into the inane lyrics.
(the song probably, critically, isn't terrible but I just can't get past the disappointment.)
I'm 100% sure there is TOTP video of the first time it was done "live" and the audience collectively going "WTF"?
edit: yep

I had good mesh netting over all my brassicas this year and got through the first round in June without incident but the fuckers still got in and laid eggs for the bigger season finale.
Picked off a few hundred caterpillars the last two days . One fine head of Cavello Nero that was perfect on Sunday is just a poxy shell today... Most of the Sprouts are badly picked at but the buttons just starting to form will probably be alright. Cunce

The next self-inflicted wound for Trump looks like being the Bob Woodward book.
I mean why go on tape like this, why co-operate with Woodward? WTF did he think he was going to get out of it?"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Can confirm Monaghan soil is stoney and grey. They have a tin church, and lots of forest parks. Ventured into rossmore forest park to look at the drumlin giants, and was somehow disappointed even though I went in with very low expectations. It's meant to be one of their top new attractions for tourists, it's 40% finished after 4 years of work and nowhere on the park map does it mention where the sculptures actually are.
I was on the way down from Tyrone and the Irish American Folk Park was closed but was going to check that one out as it looks a bit different, a real shame, as it meant spending more time in MonaghanGo big or go homeless.

Its like the healy rae effect on a bigger scale, the more the opposition want him gone, the other side take as a reason they need him in.

Even nicer smells outside tonight after the Ooni finally arrived, impressive bit of kit in that it does do what it says on the tin
This one was just homegrown tomatoes burrata and basil. Its going to be some struggle to keep off the weight I've lost this year!

edit....when i make dough, using 450/500g flour, i usually only get 2 pizzas...struggle to stretch them thin like the pros, so would be a fair lump of dough.Last edited by oleras; 09-09-20, 21:45.This too shall pass.

If anything, I think Woodward is on the morally dodgy ground, sitting on those tapes for six months. Releasing them now only serves to make Donnie look more thoughtful and presidential than he normally does.

For the golf starting today there are 2 players that sometimes start hot but never close it out. So 1st round leader bets are good for these. Matt Every @ 150s and Scott Piercy @ 95 to 1. a euro each (cursory glance at the odds)Last edited by Solksjaer!; 10-09-20, 08:22.

That the moronic take that Woodward is the villain here is what people are taking away from this is just one more sign of how far down the rabbit hole we have gone.
Then his spokeswoman, with a straight face, can flat-out deny that he said said X.
But in any case it's all gravy. As long as the Trump campaign is explaining, they're losing. Biden might as well go to bed and let Trump lose this thing all by himself."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

David Simon is such a class act, I'd no idea that Anthony Boyle was a Nordie and as for Winona Wouldya she's as mad as a bag of cats but great craic altogetherTurning millions into thousands

Trump is toast . IPB really has its finger on the wrong pulse in this regard . I hope ye got on. The tedious narrative that he could shoot a baby and his base will still follow him is moot. His base isnt enough to get him over the line . He got the winds of change backlash vote last nime but he wont get the clusterfuck vote this time. The electorate will destroy him .
