It ended up being postponed until January! 

If the wind down your way is as strong as it is up here then with that behind you, reckon you could have recorded your best time😉

You think you've got problems? I spent all day yesterday trying to find a goat and a virgin. I mean FFS, you think a person could find a goat easy enough, at the very least! Squandered. Squandered that day was. 

 

Tell me about it. Sometimes I just settle for a virgin goat nowadays.

[GhostOfMaurice]

Sounds like something Richard Branson would come up with.

Ha! Probably. 

Took part in a race this morning, only had short sleeve top and shorts, no base layer or buff.

Then, it started to snow....

What, no 'kid'ding?

 

Ouch! That one's just gotta smart.

I'm lucky enough to live right next to an actual stone circle in Cornwall. Took a pilgrimage with my dogs at sunset this morning. No Cornish Piskies this morning though sadly..

A lot of nyads, elfs, sprites, and all the 'little' people,  regularly party at the end of my garden. And sometimes I join them. I can't see them but know they are there.

Lol. In Cornish folklore, piskies are said to appear at stone circles to cause mischief. If they see you as a friend however, they can help you solve your problems.

What if you've got no problems? What do they offer, if anything, then? Or - do they just default to mischief if that scenario crops up?

Surely they then become a problem which they can solve. Most of the time they realise this so do not actually show themselves.  That's why it is hard to see them.

 

It's the Faeries in mushroom circles that are the f**kers. Keep you there for what you think is moments when in actual fact it is years

It's because the mushrooms are portals into other space / time dimensions, and it is these (s opposed to the mushrooms themselves) that take you on long journeys. Journeys which feed upon, nay devour, time itself. 

 

Talking of which;

Wife and I spent about 40 minutes at one festival watching a play on a small screen.  It was actual just some lights flickering on a hedge. We thought it was a confusing play anyway

Bloody hell, in 2017, I was waking up my fellow attendee after an hours sleep saying sniff this and swallow that. 8.30 am. 

This went on for 5 full days. Insane. How we didn't do any lasting damage is beyond me, though I've not been back for 7 years so there's that

As long as you don’t get confused and sniff when you should swallow. I’m sure I’ve still got things slowly dissolving in my sinuses

That is absolutely true. Before I met her, my wife, her brother and his wife all did this with a particular substance. All ended up with tears in their eyes and  bitterly regretting that they hadn't done their research (chemical) beforehand.

Which would indicate that you still have sinus's. I'm not sure that I have anymore after the last few days hoovering up.
