Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Small island, so I've encountered a few, some quite regularly. I always tell people I last spoke to Sir Chris Bonnington in the Himalaya - an Indian restaurant in Harrogate ;) I met the Earl of Wharncliffe (named for that odd-looking little knife) a couple of times, and he was a scrawny little feller too, and quite disreputable actually o_O Getting blown up like that doesn't sound much fun at all Les, I hope you don't have any lasting injuries :eek: :thumbsup:

I just knew you had been hobnobbing with the rich and famous over there. :p I ended up having to have 3 discs in my neck fused a few months later but the doctor did a good job on me.

That doesn't sound like a fun birthday Les, hope you didn't have any lasting bashes. I got sort of half blown off my feet in a terrorist bombing back in the 90's. A few days later the owner of the company came round the store that had been damaged and shook my hand. I only have small hands myself but I remember a clammy limp handshake. He was Knighted about 10 years later and has since been involved in so many dodgy financial dealings Parliament voted to strip him of his Knighthood. :rolleyes:

Dang terrorists! :mad: Glad you weren’t hurt badly in the explosion.

Good morning Guardians! I hope y’all are all safe and well! :) I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve got some knives that I call “Feel Good Knives”. When I pick them up they just bring a smile to my face. This SFO Damascus with Ironwood is most certainly a “Feel Good Knife”! ;) Thanks for that Jack! :thumbsup: :D

Sweet knife. I love Damascus and those covers are nice too!

Good Morning Guardians
Why does miserable allergy season have to be so darned beautiful.

I am with you on the allergy season thing.

This German beer stein was given to me by my son. He was stationed in Naples, Italy for a while when he was in the Navy and he and his wife traveled around to as many countries as they could while he was over there.
 
Still cute though :D
Yes, very cute and fun to play with. :cool::thumbsup:

Sorry to hear about the allergies John, that's a beautiful photo :) :thumbsup:
No big deal.
Thanks, Jack. :)

Peek-a-boo. :D:thumbsup:

I am with you on the allergy season thing.
It's like having a mild cold that lasts for two months.

Everything about that picture says... Keep your hands off my magazines. :D

LOL! I'm glad I didn't have to hobnob with the Earl of Wharncliffe when he was locked-up! :eek: :D Sorry to hear that, I'm glad the op went OK, I know it can be a tricky one :thumbsup:

That fancy stein and your fancy Lambsfoot go together well Les :) I don't blame your son, great to have the opportunity :) My dad did his 'National Service' (post-WW2 conscription) in Germany, but they were paid so little, he could barely afford to leave the base :rolleyes: A friend of mine visited Naples last year, said some of it was beautiful, but some of it was straight out of Gomorrah! :eek: :D :thumbsup:


Great pic Randy, you have quite the Lambsfoot collection there my friend, very impressive :) :thumbsup:

Must be great hanging out with those guys :) :thumbsup:

Good morning, Guardians! I hope that everyone finds a little spark of spirit-lifting delight today.

Talking of terrorists! :eek:

Nice Big 'Un Jer :) I don't know about you, but I am getting kind of tired of the lock-down washing up, I see to go through 3 times as many cups a day as usual, in addition to all the extra plates and pans
Thanks. That's the one you sent in the blue soap dish. It seems a little more traditional than the shiny sway-back.

I'm not finding the dishes too onerous, really. With just me here, I'm running the dishwasher maybe once or twice a week. I've started rinsing things and putting them in the washer instead of leaving a knife and plate on the counter to re-use all day. Gives me more counter space.
 
New day and headed to Wound Care again today.:eek: Oh joy:rolleyes:

Good luck Ed, they must like you there ;) Nice Lambsfoot :thumbsup:

Oh yes! :D If there had been a Guardians knife this year, I was going to send them out in traditional bamboo tea holders :(

Nice to see Old Toffee Wings Jer, I'm afraid that the only dishwasher at Grumble Towers is me! :eek: :D :thumbsup:
 
That tea canister would have been nice.
The dishwasher is the one appliance I could most easily do without, except I guess I would have to towel-dry the dishes because of my limited drainer space.
And it has a sanitizing cycle, which is important if you have a day care center.

They are very capable knives aren't they Ron? I often choose a Big 'Un when I'm going hiking, particularly if I don't take a FB with me :) I just put in another 3-loaf bread order for delivery next week, so hopefully I can stay in toast :D My maternal grandmother used to make a lot of jams and marmalades, wine too, nothing seemed to go to waste with that generation :) You too Ron, hope you and Pam are doing well :) :thumbsup:

Thanks for giving me a smile Ron, it's great to see that one :) :thumbsup:
I’ll take a big’un on most days and be quite happy Jack. ;) The grandmothers from that generation knew how to make delicious food with what ever they were fortunate to have available. The sweetness spread on a good toasted slice makes for a very satisfying snack or even a light meal! :thumbsup: Pam and I are doing well Jack! We’re still not venturing out unless it’s totally necessary. The days of getting out just to be out are over, at least for the foreseeable future. :( I’m glad I could make you smile my friend. You’ve provided so many things that make me smile! :) :thumbsup:

Very fancy today, Ron. :cool::thumbsup:
Thanks John! :)

Good Morning Guardians

Beautiful photo John! :thumbsup: :)

Thanks, fellas! It was a pretty good day. Slept in a little, had Spam and eggs for breakfast, a meal from Whataburger for supper, and my daughter made oatmeal raisin cookies (made with real butter, of course, and brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans!). :)
Oh my Vince! Spam and eggs, a meal from Whataburger for supper and homemade cookies! OMG! I’d give a C-Note for a meal from Whataburger! :D That’s my absolute favorite fast food restaurant! The closest one to my house is Trussville, Alabama. It’s over 360 miles round trip! :(

Great looking lamb foot knife Ron. The colors in the wooden backdrop are a nice complementary contrast to the scales .

Nice stein there Les! :thumbsup:

Randy it’s so good to see you posting my friend! :thumbsup: You’ve got a nice group of lambs there! :)
