Flapjacks, bicycle gardening and football
I munched on a flapjack yesterday (as you do) and half my tooth broke. The dentist was very good, patched things up and I now look forward to root canal work or something like that (sounds like they take a pneumatic drill to your tooth, a small one of course, and dig out the nerve. Well, that will be a new experience to look forward to. I had another flapjack this afternoon but ate it on the other side of my mouth. Probably not a wise thing to do, but certainly most tasty.

Recent gardening activities: grass cutting is now in full flow, but will the looming petrol shortage put a brief stop to that, I wonder? Of course I could always revert to an olden day sort of character and go about my horticulturals on a bicycle. (And as luck would have it there is an article about just such a fellow: http://www.ruralgateway.org.uk/cgi-bin/item.cgi?id=979)
(By the way, the bit at the end of the article that says I give talks etc no longer applies. I did toy with the idea once but decided it was far too stressful so I don't do garden talks anymore - and in fact never did, and probably never intend to in the future)

Football: The Rangers game this evening. What abysmal football.

Next time take the shells out if you include nuts in your flapjacks! I can't imagine any other way one can break a tooth unless plaster of paris was mistaken for flour :)) Harold http://haroldsmusings.blogspot.com/

Bicycle for work

I do a little bike riding in town, at 77 I don't need much anymore. Used to do some locksmithing, including opening safe deposit boxes at the local bank a couple blocks away.
Never used a fancy well decorated Locksmithing truck. Simply took my toolbox, electric drill & extension cord all loaded in my little red wagon & walked up there & parked it outside while I did my work.
Seemed humourous to me at the time, if to nobody else. Unpretenciousness at its best! Harold
