Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Good Morning Guardians

 

Good morning Guardians, Old yellow got out for a picture this morning.

 

Ha ha, if my second son would have been born first I think I would have decided to not have any more children. He was quite a challenge.

 

Good morning, Guardians!

It's Thursday!

 

Again?

 

That’s good Jack! It’s actually tolerable here today. Cool and cloudy, which makes for good outdoor working weather! Speaking of shopping! That’s what Pam is doing now! That really is some fine Ebony isn’t it! A beautiful knife!

 

Good morning, Guardians! Another dark, damp and cool day here, but I have my Lambfoot, so I'll be okay!

 

A sunny new day for this Standard with Buffalo Horn covers.

 

Thank you, Jack.

 

I could say that about life in general.

Crikey. It sounds like a fair few of us have scrapped through by the skin of our teeth doesn't it.
My brother had the same happen to him as well.

I'd already owned one for several years. A rosewood Big'un that I bought from Barnitts (a hardware store in York that Jack has mentioned). I was looking for a British made larger slipjoint at the time, and found it in their knife display. I'd never owned a lambsfoot before but had used sheepsfoot knives, but the blade profile played no part in why I chose it. But as I got to using it I found I really liked it.

Great catch Ron, your certainly having some luck with your acquisitions.

Don't you have to ask the cat's permission before you try that?

That's some yard you have to work there.

Just some shots on a local walk the other day which was meant to help my back pain but actually made it a lot worse.






Great shots everyone! I hope everyone's having a good week.

 

No, they wouldn't listen anyways.

 

The Ebony Lambsfoot did a fine job! We’ve certainly been ordering a lot online that we’d usually just run to the store to pick up.

American bacon is what you’d call streaky bacon. Your bacon would (I think) be called “back bacon” over here, but to be honest, you can’t really find it anywhere. (Which is a shame, because it’s good! I ate my fair share of bacon butties when we visited England.)

I didn’t know about suspenders, but I do now!

We’re doing ok. Scout sleeps a lot… right up until about 1 am, when she apparently wants to be awake and angry for several hours.

I’ve always been interested in this sort of thing, too. (Maybe y’all remember the Dialect Quiz from the Lounge a while back? ) I’d never heard of a meat raffle or pull-tabs before we moved to Minnesota (both things that usually take place in a bar, coincidentally).

 

Now I have to know... What's wrong with suspender?
I don't wear them, never have, but my curiosity is getting the better of me.

 

Taking a shot in the dark, John, but I'm guessing it means "bra" in England.

 

I Googled it...
Suspenders in England are Garters Belts to hold a woman's stockings up.
Now I haven't worn suspenders in two languages.

 

I think I tried them once (just the kind that holds men's trousers up!). Didn't like them.
