Well, it made me smile.

Snow, more bloody snow and my my buckie isnt so much on ice as ice





This was my village church growing up- we got dragged here from school every Easter, Harvest and Xmas, the whole school would be marched through the village down the hill to the church-

Wow, you have almosty as much as we have here. (And ours is rapidly disappearing. )

You can have ours if you want more!

Sure. I'd say that's a legally binding contract. When can you get it here?

Just as soon as you can shovel it all onto your transport- preferably sooner rather than later, and you can start with the path outside my barrel

Òh, but it's common contract practice that the seller handles transport, or outsources it. And, either way, seeing as you supplied the content of this contract, the supply of Scottish snow to fjordlandia, any ambiguity has to be interpreted in your disfavour I'm affraid.

Now, I'll not have any of your heathen legal talk!!! Ive got you a shovel ready and everything, well I say a shovel, I mean Ive asked Dave for a loan of a shovel, him being a farmer he is bound to have one for all that manure I keep leaving him in his fields

Well, I could handle the transportation. But I would have to bill you for it.

See, you made no note of transportation cost in your original offer (=rookie mistake).

Ah well if you are going to bill me thats fine - I can bung it in the kindling pile with all the other bills!

Are you sure? I wouldn't want to have to repossess your barrel.

Nobody would repossess my barrel, not with the fridge still in it

Fair point. I guess that means the deal is off. You will have to keep your snow.

Its been just like a sunny Spring day here Tho I did like the snowy church pic Petty !

I went for a walk in the snow.

I HATE litterbugs! I have spent the last week going round all the lanes where I live picking up other peoples shit, plastic bottles, cigarette butts, pizza boxes! they are lazy selfish twats. There is a little layby and everyday this arsehole empties his ashtray in a little stream that runs along the side of it. I know who it is but he is not the sort you 'tell' as I think he is a bit thick. I was wondering what to do about it. I thought of posting his shit through his letter box, or putting a sign up saying 'compliments to the ignoramus' but I think he is too ingrained in his ways. What can I do to put a stop to this horrible behaviour, its dangerous for the wildlife and looks like a tip.

The first thing I'd do is take pictures (still trying to get a good one of Petty in the act... )

cant take photos, he would see me, theres nowhere to hide in that area.

Me to Figgy ! I hate seeing other peoples crap just chucked everywhere. They are just fooking lazy makes the place look like a shithole

"Manure" is it now?- David

I was being discreete

I just don't get people who litter. I bet they don't do it in their homes so why do it in beautiful Nature? it makes me boiling angry.

If only you'd be a little MORE discrete, I wouldn't be needing the shovel

The farm is within a mile of the beach, and every summer we've got the problem of people who've come down to the beach for the weekend looking for places to dump their garbage.

I'll go for a walk down our little side road toward the main road, and I'll find somebody has thoughtfully left us a present of several bags of old bottles, half-eaten food and dirty baby diapers.

Unfortunately they always seem to forget to leave their home address, or I'd happily return the favor.

If only you'd be a little MORE discrete- David

I cold wear a balaclava
