As simple a thing as 'planting a new field' just shows the progress that has been made in the last few years, OK we aren't loaded but the improvements keep coming slow and steady and in the end I fully believe they will culminate in a perfect storm of a season Hi PJ, welcome to the crazy world of JKB. There are a lot of very knowledgeable posters on here and a lot of arseholes. Sometimes the two are one and the same. Like life, you have to negotiate your way through the shite. But we're all Jambos really. (Well most of us). Oh and I'm sure there are some that think I'm an arsehole (see earlier in this thread) but I can deal with that crap. If you can then you're well in mate. HHGH. And on topic, whit a braw park. ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure at what time it’s handed over as a finished product but, with the sewing tent still being in use, I guess it’s not ours to cut yet.

My Eighty four year old Mum was out thinning her apple trees yesterday. She told me that she takes a lot of the young apples off the tree and reduces the height. This allows the tree to grow bigger, better apples and thickens the tree rather than it getting taller. My wee mum is getting wee-er. I think cutting young grass might help to thicken it , I dunno though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until a full days rain is forecast they will need to get the sprinklers on through the night. Hope we have enough cash for the water bill?

I am home now after a feckin nightmare journey in the heat with the feckin train going like a feckin tortoise. I am owe you an apology. I never saw the feckin mower originally m and was being a smartarse. I admit when I am wrong and I was here so apologies mate. Apology gladly accepted Jonno. We all miss-read or miss-see posts from time to time. Also, as I said in my following post I always find your posts at the least interesting and often fecking hilarious ! Have you ever considered a career as a comedic poet ?? No probs fellow Jambo. I know what a feckin nightmare train journeys can be, especially in the heat. Fort William to Crianlarich in the oppressive heat like today can be awful. Last time, me and some fellow mountain wanderers had to empty the trolley of whisky miniatures just to cope!

No real change in the weather predicted until about Wednesday next week at the moment, maybe a "heat shower" or two, or the prolonged heat could bring on some spectacular thunder storms. The local mountain rescue teams are on alert for heatstroke, de-hydration and potential lightning victims at the moment.

I know what you mean BHB but the Pie man was right when he said "not fit for purpose" he was wrong about leaving Gorgie 'tho. I love what Hearts have done and the Stadium is now one of the finest in Scotland. I still miss the old days, in some ways, ( I caught TB in 1990 and the Specialist said it could've been someone in the crowd coughing or sneezing near me. He was a Jambo himself, and a light plane pilot. He was killed in a plane crash in the small Isles in the 90s. A good guy). So I don't miss that bit.
