Man, that looks tasty!!!I thought I'd go out for some fresh air, and a saunter down to the Sicilian cafe I mentioned the other day. I finally got a chance to try a slice of their cake - chocolate fudge cake in this caseIt's still overcast here, but also humid, which is not a great combination

I was up on the roof today trimming limbs from my large oak tree and then I came down to mow the lawn and trim some hedges. It is nice to have sons old enough to help, too! The AC was with me throughout most of the day. The picture comes from this morning when I was helping my two youngest with school.

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is well, and having a good weekend. I think I'm going to be having a quiet one, my girlfriend is full of cold, so our hike got cancelled. I do need to get out and pick some blackberries from the garden, something I've been trying to find time for all week. My Hartshead Barlow will be keeping me company again Have a good one Guardians

I've been meaning to get out in the garden, and pick some more blackberries all week, but I haven't had time until today. I'll probably make one more trip, and then leave it for this year, I'm kind of crumbled out, and the freezer is full. I should look at making some jam next year - which I think I said last year

The black berries look fabulous as does you HHB (as always) Another sunny start of the day - hoping everyone's Saturday is a good one. Slowly getting acclimated to the time zone change - back to normal again
. Planning on going to a NASCAR race at Darlington tomorrow.

I was just looking for some other knives in my badly neglected Clean-Up pile, when I spotted this Lambsfoot, a Bexoid Big 'Un with a generic Sheffield stamp Someone has been rather daft with it unfortunately, but worth having a look at I think, to see if it still has its temper

The " Old Bedford ", the staple of goods transport. They went forever, that is why they had to go, we could not have something that was built to last, could travel well over 500,000 miles, that would not do in the modern world. Once they were sold, there was no more money to be gauged out of them, we could not have that. They were magnificent trucks.Thanks a lot Bill, at least it's not the Covid!

Definitely Leon, Sheffield City Council's fleet was comprised entirely of Bedfords and Fords, and I worked on thousands of them. A pal of mine had an old Bedford ambulance, which had been nicely converted for camping in the 60's. He bought it in the early 80's, and ran it until the late 1990's, when he passed it on to a friend with a young family. We had some great times with that old Bedford. My pal with the tool stall still runs them, but his camping waggon is a WW2-era Austin K9
I bet it's a lot more fun too!
Have a great day Bill Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is having a good weekend. It started out quite sunny here, but it has clouded over now. I hadn't realised it was US Labor Day weekend, when I posted yesterday morning, so I hope you're all having a good one
Pikelets for breakfast here!

They are so too!They're not pikelets, they're crumpets.
Until I was in my 20's, half the country called them pikelets, and when the big bakeries first started selling them, they wrote 'pikelets' on one side of the packet, and 'crumpets' on the other. Now they just write 'crumpets' on, so that the folks in London aren't confused! 
In Sheffield, where they are still called pikelets, by older folks at least, the word was also a mild form of derision for somebody who was, or was being, a bit daft. I remember a local newspaper hoarding, relating to the then leader of Sheffield City Council: 'Blunkett called Pikelet'! Sad that we're now in danger of losing that word Now some people will tell you that pikelets were something different, but that's mainly because they weren't born until recently, so don't know! I bought some small Staffordshire oatcakes sold as pikelets the other week Those look like drop scones, blinis, or Scottish pancakes!These are Pikelets.
