Something like that and a good accompaniment for when we can get the family round for barbecues.

Sorry but I should have explained. It is a chiminea which uses wood for fuel and can be used as an outdoor heater/cooker.

Mine will be used for heating purposes only.

Icon12 Ahhh! corporate mentality

slight update: In driving my recuperating daughter to her job and appointments etc, she related that she sent a photo of her carwreck to the Subaru people thanking them for their good product which probably saved her life ...and got a response to the effect: "thankyou so much for your e-mail! Normally all we get are complaints... ":

I've been going to my grandparent's house lately, they are inside our "Corona Bubble", basically our small social circle. Their dog, Lacey, is a Chocolate Labrador and has a sore on her right front leg that she was been chewing open a sore so now she has the cone. We call it "The Cone of Shame". I've been going fishing with my grandpa and shooting sporting clays as well. I've been bonding with them a lot lately.

I hope that they make it through this so we can still live a nice life with them.

Haha Once I was driving the golf cart on a clay targets course and I thought we went past a station so I turned my head to look that way, and I turn my head back and we are about to crash into a tree! My grandpa grabs the steering wheel from me and drives the rest of the way to the station with one hand.

He wasn't mad. We laugh about it now. By the way, I shoot a Ruger Red Label .20 gauge.

I just found Moira dozing on the sofa. "Are you in a drunken swoon?" I asked.
"No I'm not," she said... "I'm in a happy place"

Gave the wife free reign to go with my son and pick a new three piece suite back in January, telling her not to inform me of her choice so I might hopefully get a pleasant surprise.

She was told it would take up to thirteen weeks to manufacture but that unfortunately coincided with the lockdown.

The suite (one three seater and one two seater) arrived Friday.

The picture below is of the two seater and the head and leg reclining functions are individually controlled for each seat.

I asked her why she felt the need for all the bells and whistles and she replied "I was thinking of you as you approach old age and besides, each unit has two USB phone charging points.

That explains it all then

Why white? Why not tan or black, but white? You can't even put your feet up on the darn thing

Oops! wrong picture....it is actually 'steel' coloured but the shop only shows a picture of it extended in the white colour.



In the flesh.

You usually find the dog stretched out on the right hand side, hence the cover on the two seater.


The picture probably doesn't do it justice but the three seater below is much bigger.
