Hotchilidog Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 I miss the avocado already Still it put a good shift in. All the best to the pine cone which I am sure can pick up where the avocado left off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sticky stick goes Snappy stick i'm not sure i'll recover! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like a good one radiating positivity on the weather of Pilton as it did. In gastronomic terms there is not much worse than cutting into an avocado and discovering that it is horrid on the inside and can't be eaten. Give belly rubs to Big Dog .

For every argument about Tories, there's @bombfrog's Favourite Track thread. For every thread about diversity and women in music going down the pan, there's the quotes of people's mums being asked for their opinion on Stormzy. For every snarky response there's the thread and whatsapp group on supporting mental health at the festival. And towering over all, like a furry colossus, is Big Dog. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh the art of knowing when to sacrifice the avocado is not one I have mastered yet. However this one was very good. It had sat in the sun all day so was ripened to perfection. big dog says “ mmmmmmmm don’t stop” I worry about that boy sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today’s facts ( believe them or not , I give no shits): RAM jam jar = 30mm. So some evaporation occurring. The gherkin = 0 mm. no rainfall in 24 hours avocado eaten - replaced with a more high tech device. well sticky stick = well dry. Base harder than it’s been since records began. Mud thick and difficult for 2 inches. Increasingly difficult to get the stick into the base. Not yet got to “snappy stick” status but we are on our way. Big Dog paws= Flakey. A little like himself this morning. Current position- sideways on grass soaking up some rays. @deebeedoobee you make me chuckle every morning! Loving the jam and gherkin jars. Fingers crossed we have ‘snapped stick’ come Wednesday morning ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed we have ‘snapped stick’ come Wednesday morning ? To be fair it’s not a substantial stick. It was my oil tank dip stick, and before that a runner bean support stick. It’s been around and had a varied life so to be relegated to well stick is not so bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 if they didn't come in Glass Jars I would wonder how many people would be bringing gherkins to the farm this year ...maybe someone should let the coop know so they can get extra supplies in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckoner Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 From a superstitious side I’m worried about the Avocado removal, from a delicious side, the fact its ripened up and been eaten goes to show how positive the weather has been.
