The big question being a professional grandfather has jarndice got the bendy straws in the glove box ?

LOL...A good Granddad Wo2c is...probably so....Never had kids to speak of myself...just a bunch of Nephews...
This would be a reflection of what I would do


for a little while anyway

We spend half of our lives in cars, so more than bendy straws in the glove box, we have a flat in town and we commute between there and our home here in the Chilterns, It can get a bit bleak up here, but the views lift my heart as we trudge along our bit of the "RIDGEWAY" The song of the birds sometimes DROWNED OUT BY THE AIRCRAFT ON LONG FINALS as they approach Luton Airport.
It makes me smile when we walk through the forest, the fallow deer will run when they are disturbed by dog walkers on the path but don't even look up when an Airbus/Boeing fly's low overhead. Easy to imagine we are miles from civilization when in the forest and yet we are no more than 10 miles from 3 decent sized towns to the south/west/east and a major Motorway, but in a society where people prefer to sit in their cars rather than walk or ride we rarely see anyone except our like minded neighbours, their loss. a side advantage is I can drive my Tanks and fly my RC aircraft without disturbing anyone.
The trouble with crackling wood fires is they make smoke and we live in a smokeless area. so its a combination of gas and electric heating, most unromantic. It's alright for you two, all round summer in the Pacific and Summer building in strength in Australia.
Take care my friends, Shaun.

My good friend, Jarndice,
I do indeed shudder to think of 3 entire inches of snow in a 24 hour period. Think of the water rationing to follow... Take care of yourself over there. I want to come back to the Tank Museum one day and bring the Mate. The rest of Great Britain is no small shakes either. ;o)
regards,
Painless

I favour "Smoked salmon with black pepper and Hellemans Mayonaise on brown bread and thick butter accompanied by a tall glass of very cold apple juice".
I have the complexion of the typical Englishman so your image is not so unlike me after a week in the Indian Ocean, I worship at the gods of Air-Conditioning when returning to the Hotel after a day "Scuba Diving", The downside of any water sport is that sun creams wash off so I burn.
I remember sitting on a grass airstrip in Sarawak waiting to be picked up by the Army Air Corps,
It was heavily overcast that day, I had been serving in the area for over six months, and yet when I finally got back to base I was bright PINK,
Let that be a lesson to anyone on holiday in the tropics, you can get badly sunburned without being in direct sunlight.

I was in Penang on R & R when an event that to my dying day I am not allowed to talk about occurred, The upshot being I missed my booked flight back to Singapore by a day,
So onto the ferry (Spitting is forbidden if seen Police will arrest you, sign on ferry!)to RAAF Butterworth and hitched a ride with a Bristol 170 Freighter of the RNZAF to RAF Seleter.
No problems being late back the OC having been briefed.
I have seen sharks of various types close by but I have never had a problem with them (YET) but a funny though very near the truth video, thanks.
