Welcome to the official opening of Granddads' shed

You can take a horse to the water, but a pencil must be led Nellie

just asking pompa re the pencil ..does he have any lead in it

Every year, we say we mustn't do it, but here we go again - heading away for 2/3 weeks during the busiest period in the garden. Greenhouse is full to bursting with bedding and baskets, but it is still too risky to put them out this week. By the time we get back most plants will have grown larger than I would like. I have risked sowing beans under fleece, they should be ok as long as the mice don't get them before they germinate. Next year we will NOT go away during May.

Should be knitting! Hard day at the tribunal face!

Circular hitting I've got three and they're BB.

Anyone got a knitting pattern for a tea cosy, using a pair of size HB pencils ?

As we near the close of yet another perfect day spent wasting enjoying time talking twaddle as some GNs do...I have to admit that I'm beyond And if ignorance is whatever...I'm in a state of unadulterated bliss. Off to attend to matters domestic. Bye for now.

jack!

Are you bald Pompa? Or just cold? Could I suggest that you keep your pants on and invest in a tea cosy for your head. As for the pencils, do be careful you don't end up with lead poisoning in your vital orifices. Besides, you should be using them for the crossword. Oh dear. You have so much to learn.

As for you jeni, I'm sorry the nose job went so badly wrong!

No not me then, I've got 3 pencils, one in each nostril!

Pompa sits in the corner gently rocking with his underpants on his head and two pencils stuck up his nostrils.

pompa are you me? As I don't know who I am some days, perhaps that's my problem?

Well that would be lovely ...

I've lost all track of who I am !!

PS It's not pompa, is it?

I think everyone's talking at cross-purposes here! I think jeni was referring to your male friend, jack. And I was wondering how it would take us ages to work out who your DH is unless he was using a female pseudonym!

I was going to return to the shed, I was starting to get things in perspective again.
BUT.
Is Jack an man or woman ? is Jack's DH Jill ? To top that, it appears that Jack, who I had decided was probably a woman, could be a Dutchman. .

Think I'll crawl back in my hole and try again later, perhaps this was all a bad dream.

No soop. He's a man. And jeni, if he doesn't know what I'm like after 44 years then I'm a Dutchman!

jack is it jill ?

Perhaps it's as well ! He'd find out what you're really like!

Yikes!

One of my dearest male friends won't join Gransnet because the name is "sexist". So perhaps there should be a Popsnet, or something similar.

But, I am pleased to say, DH is a member. But it'll take you ages to work out who he is!

Pompa...you are very dear to us

Beer will be chilled, ready for your return....

Thanks ga. Take care pompa. We look forward to see ing you back here soon
