NFR NFC - to tide you over the fallow year

[carlosj]

We walked round Roundhay Park this afternoon, getting to the lake cafe just in time for weather worship, and downward moisture. That must be worth something in 2 weeks' time.

I'm also planning the MrsCJ Hotel Break as a reward for her listening to me on about Glastonbury, and Nick Cave next week.

Well we got pretty drenched walking round Edinburgh Zoo but the watery stuff cleared up for the Spice Girls and even the sun came out for a bit!  Still, I hope that my offering to the weather gods is sufficient to the cause.

Spice Girls were fucking ace.

Not as exciting but ordered some beeswax thingys so I can reduce cling film for wrapping and one of them had panda wrapping. Irrelevant and silly but there ye go.

Sooo cute. We saw the pandas at Edinburgh zoo a couple of years ago. Well one. It eventually came out , rubbed its arse on a post , went back into its warm house. To be fair it was December and I probably felt like doing the same.

Got properly Manchestered walking around Amsterdam at the weekend, so hopefully a bit of sacrifice taken into account!

Driving to York yesterday, saw a car with a private number plate of G19 NFR. A sign, surely.

I like this positivity!! 

I’ve arrived in Spain. I’m afraid to say no sacrifices will be made today... it’s scorching.

AMAZING!!! We saw one when we went a couple of years ago, she came out, did a walk around the enclosure, then went back into her house. Apparently that was the only time she'd come out in weeks! So lucky!!!

Me again, after another long break.

I'm having trouble coming to grips with the visit to the hallowed fields only being a couple of weeks away, must get my shit together.

I must commit to spending more time on here chatting, panicking, and generally being jovial too.

Love to all

Staring at the Clashfinder without a clue isn't helping....

Sounds like my step daughter and her bedroom.

Yep.

There are quite a few names I want to see, but some where I'm thinking 'Do I know the name because I don't like them?' 6music is helping choices otherwise I'd be sticking a pin in, which is not the worst strategy.

I think Glade might be the biggest 'who?' for me so far.

Sounds like we were pretty lucky!  Both of them were hanging around the indoor “viewing areas” for ages.  It was a bit emotional really.  Took the nieces and one of them has been obsessed with pandas practically since she was born.

We weren’t sure if we would see them at all as they are supposed to be moving to a new enclosure but it’s not ready yet.  Really really lucky ?

We've managed to only have one wall painted black, she wanted them all doing.

One of our neighbours kids wanted to know why she has Halloween decorations in her windows (Skulls).

You were!!! I saw a panda at London zoo when I was about 4, and have wanted one ever since

A month’s worth of rainfall now is infinitely better than a month’s worth of rainfall in two weeks time.

It’ll be reet ?
