No, he's a chippy, handy bloke to know actually, he's cleared some shrubs between our properties (got him a crate of lager for doing that) & what his missus has done in their garden has really lifted the neighbourhood.

Ah, no worries... Nice one:)
For anyone interested, here are some more pics taken from our weekend party:
One of Del's work colleagues and his wife, who's a nurse:

Here's 'Walter Smith' again, or rather 'Barry', looking up and wondering if there was more fun going on indoors.... :D:eyebrows:

Nice little fire we had going on at night, which was much needed as it got chilly!

It was a great party, enjoyed by all - and Del says she WANTS to do it again!:doh::D

Lol... Just a rather novel idea, I thought, of hanging up old pics of the 'birthday boy', with illuminated pegs, which as you can see at night look quite striking:)
However, the temporary erection of a gazebo, in order to facilitate the party, has made us more determined to have a proper one permanently installed, as it makes for a really nice seating area in the summer.
And there's plenty of room... Even with that and the bouncy castle (which was huge) installed on the lawn, there's was still LOADS of room left for folks to mingle. Don't think I could ever cope without having a large outdoor space to enjoy in the nice weather!:cool:
If the weather is half-decent over Christmas [which often it is, as the really bad weather doesn't usually kick in until January/Feb], we might get the crew round again, and this time just light a bigger fire!:D

Pooch goes to the vet tomorrow at 8.30am for surgery to remove two small lumps under her skin. They could potentially be tumours, cancerous or otherwise. You would not believe how much this is going to cost!!
hope it turns out well geoff. sons dog had cancer for several years, before she died recently, so often they can be benign. it can become expensive alas..
Sorry to hear that, mate. I can imagine the cost, but the most important thing is that he's ok. Hope all goes well:)

The dog's lumps are small, so I don't envisage problems after they are excised. It's my usual vet, but prices seem to have grown wildly. The fifteen minute consultation cost me nearly ninety quid, never mind the price of the still to be paid for surgery. No more pets for me after this one, that's for sure.
