English traversing the Atlantic

[Resurgam]

                       Spent the last eight days confined to base and coughing me head off still; despite eating antibiotics daily. To kill the boredom and not overdo things, I have been skimming through back copies of The Searcher, The Treasure Hunter, and watching old movies on television.

                       Years ago, I watched a movie where American service personnel were stunned when they heard that an old pensioner was paid to knock-up  the local mill girls! 

                        Whilst lazily watching a US film today I observed a car pulling up in front of a local cafe and above the front was a large sign that read.........."Cafe  -  Jugs iced free". That Atlantic ocean has a lot to answer for.

                         Perhaps I have too much time on my hands.

Am I missing something here, I'm totally lost

[wagis]

I  think you have to much time on your hands mate lol

[Dungbeetle]

  You've lost me Chris, are you sure the doc hasn't got you on laudanum ?

[Resurgam]

Probably just the fever and detecting withdrawal symptoms Chris!

No it's all right Chris, I know exactly where you are coming from,obviously, everyone else is no keeping abreast of the times !!!LOL it must be an age thing👍
Keep!taking the tablets!! And I hope you will!soon  feel better.
Our handman/gardener is off with the flu,he's never ever ill so be careful, there's a lot of "nasties " about at the moment !!

omg, I thought it was just me! 

[Val Beechey]

Think they're a bit out of sync Chris.  One things for sure mine don't need any ice with the temperatures at the present.  ::)0

Stay safe, stay well, and happy hunting.

Oh, and stay well wrapped up!

[dingdong]

Hope you are getting better day by day !!👍

                              Slowly making progress. Finished the antibiotics today and am tentatively waiting to see if the chest infection will totally abate. Still coughing a wee bit but will hotfoot it back to the doctors on Monday if the cough looks like being problematic. Will probably not get out detecting again until February 29th.

                              Took my first trip into town for over a week today. Took ages finding my copy of Treasure Hunting on the shelves in W H Smiths. I eventually asked the girl on the till if the mag was late or if they were perhaps sold out.
It turned out that the copies of the Searcher & the Treasure Hunting had been placed behind the counter, due to copies being stolen off the shelves on a regular basis.
