I'm afraid anticipation of the cold got the better of me and I stayed in and knitted last night, rather than go to the WI (which would have involved wrapping up warm in a room with all the windows open).   

Also Only Connect is one of the few tv programmes Fester and I watch together.

Today's pre-farm plan is to empty/harvest one of the potato bins.  Ferretfingers loves scrabbling around looking for them.  We had four and got a stone out of the biggest.  This is #2 so there will probably be less.

Mrs Jeremy  I love watching Only Connect as well. You might have seen our younger son appearing with his team, The Steelers, in previous episodes this series.

Bentonbag We undoubtedly did, but didn't notice the connection.

Drummerman  If rastaman came from Barnsley the accent might be thicker: we came across the Frumptarn Guggenband at a folk festival- they explained the first part of the name as “Are you from Barnsley?”.

Mrs Leftfoot  Wow Drummerman you're the only other people we know who have mentioned seeing them.  We saw them both years at Towersey.

Drummerman  Saw them at Derby Folk Festival twice.

Woolerwoman  I love Only Connect - I sit rapt in wonder every week.

Bentonbag  When she was a WAAF my mother once had to decode a message from one of the other storekeepers, a Yorkshireman, about something which had been delivered but nobody could find.  The note read "Put int anger whalt mornin."  After interrogating him they discovered it meant "Placed in the hangar until the morning."

Drummerman  Apparently Aberdeen is known in some quarters as “Furry Boots Town”: “Furry boots are ye frae?”.
