I didn't hate it, but I don't mind it being dumped either. It feels like a good experiment that was validated and rightly stopped.

I'm more confused why Croft/Brundle keep bemoaning it's abandonment during Sky coverage.

Brilliant.

I had a very good conversation with friends recently where we concluded that PWilly is the most malevolent assistant and the Lesser Tom is the best waver.

I'm sure there's a PhD in this

Actually good - good day yesterday, first beekeeping inspection today and she moved out last weekend so not living in a toxic hell-hole.

How's life with you?

Today was the first inspection of the year. I don't normally do them until April, but an unexpectedly warm week is a good time to get in there. They're looking good.

I even managed to get stung on the top of my head too. Honey for sale at priorsleehoney.co.uk

Divorce and work strife have made my last 6 months hard.

With yesterday's good news and first inspection today, I'm in a much better place and going to come out the other side so much happier.

Even getting stung on my head makes me happy

Same. He looked really good until he didn't
