N E C Show, Feb 2020

There was the usual " Do your own Cleaning" chappie there today. He's the one with a bucket of sudsy water, a blue plastic pipe with a brush on the end. I did tell him that, when he finished playing there, a fair few of us were available on car park E 3 but I didn't understand his reply ( Think it might have been a Brummy dialect   )

Had a walk round the accessory stalls 'til lunch on Club stand 12:15 - 1:00 then went on the " Buying  Circuit " - new fire extiguisher, few other bits n bobs and  some Snowdonia Cheese .  I'm not sure if anybody else has heard of that  . All in all not a bad day and not a bad show either, altho I did not see anybody I knew not even on Club stand.

Could have done with a Chauffeur for the drive there and back --  then I might have managed a decent foto or three of the area round Stafford by the Sea --  never seen it flooded so badly. Feel really sorry for those suffering and with the knowledge there is no end in sight

Just browsing on here  this morning and I came across a thread about KAYAKS.

That started me thinking about how the NEC Holiday Show has changed - there used to be water-based things from Canal  narrow boats  up to the sort of clever hard work thingies CY might have been interested in --  they might have had a few takers this week I think

If you see animals moving around in pairs, then you need to worry.

, hmm --  Saw loads of pairs of animals moving round the  NEC yesterday --  but I'm not sure why I should be worried. So I'll head for lunch & try to workout your conundrum CY .

Very good, very good indeed, BUT who nicked my specs 

Thank you, Goldie,  I'm still just waking up & I've only just seen the funny side,  Well I'm no archivist am I.

Must remember to apologise to CY when next our paths cross

There are times when living at the top of a hill has advantages. I’ll send the doves out soon.

But you are at the bottom of the country, according to my latest atlas - but whatever .

Send out the mallards !!
