Bloody Sunday — 7 Comments

  1. The danger of drinking whiskey and gardening is that you don’t notice the pain caused by the cuts!

  2. I actually can’t get past the fact that you needed to mow the lawn Grandad. I was already wondering WTH I’m doing here in Iowa this morning when I watched the special from London on the local news about the run up to the Royal Wedding. Trees in bud and flowers a’bloomin’ – That was the picture in London. None of that happening here in Iowa. Spring is taking it’s sweet time showing up here! Now it’s in Ireland too?

  5. Still have a foot of snow yet to melt but I certainly can’t complain at all. We’ve lost 3 feet already and I’m starting to gaze longingly at the shed out back where my beloved old Cub Cadet sits waiting for me to take it out for the first run around the yard. Right after I charge the battery…and fix the clutch pedal return spring…and replace the mower deck idler pulley…and change the oil…and clean the spark plug…and pump grease into all the fittings…and…
     
    Have you stopped bleeding yet?
