Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Eggs]

I was the childminder for our grandkids. Each of our three granddaughters in turn were obsessed by Peppa Pig, by the time the last one went to school I had seen the series that many times I was ready to abandon vegetarianism and would have cheerfully spit roasted the entire Pig family.lol

….ha, ha, think i know every episode of Peppa Pig from my granddaughters. They moved onto Paw Patrol and now Bluey. Grandson is going through a Mr Tumble phase and I suspect it’ll be Groundhog Day when another granddaughter hopefully arrives in January

Talking of Peppa Pig, Bacon butty time.

Morning all, lovely cloudless sky here so will go for a walk this morning before an afternoon of football. Will be doing a marathon watch along with my friend our match then the Manchester derby. My friend’s Dad didn’t put his clock back until late in the afternoon, the reason being we had a card school on Sunday afternoons, putting the clock back later meant we got an extra hour in.
@jazzy good luck with the gardening but mind your back.
Have a good day, all.

Yes I've listened to the wise counsel of @Val P and @anjelikaferrett and decided to give it another day before I go back to gardening.

An hour's yoga to strengthen my back instead and then watch ( if I can ) the India v England game.

Re FFP / P&S case against Everton I have mixed thoughts. The wreckless spending under Moshiri undoubtedly contravenes the rules regarding losses exceeding £103 million in any 3 year cycle despite what may or may not be "clever" accountancy regarding COVID losses. However I'm far from sure that that is the reason for the current charge as we were actively working with the PL to reduce losses. In fact the curious thing is that no one actually knows what the specific thing is that Everton have done wrong. I strongly suspect that it is something that we tried to cover up in the accounts post COVID.
I agre with Val that it is hard to see us escaping relegation if we are indeed deducted 12 points but again it's difficult to know what the appropriate punishment should be without knowing the offence. Perhaps the PL being seen to push for a harsh punishment is window dressing ahead of the Government calling for an independent regulator.

Why Everton first and not City? Well thats easy. Authorities always go for the easy win , the low hanging fruit. When do you ever see the police stop a gang of lads with a so called dangerous dog , yet they go mob handed to some old lady whose dog barked at a stranger in the park. It's life , it's wrong but s**t happens.

I remember watching Thomas the Tank Engine from about 5am one morning with my son. He loved it. Daughter was a Dora The Explorer devotee. I still know the songs.

…Thomas still going strong but ‘The Fat Controller’ wasn’t PC, so they changed his name to ‘Sir Topham Hat’

*starts a ‘bring back the fat controller’ petition……..

Thomas the Tank Engine was a favourite with my son and later his son. I had the books when I was a child and seem to remember there was a Thin Controller too.

City objected to the KC who was due to appoint the chair of their panel- this is why their case has been delayed. Everton seemingly have co-operated with the process as they feel the ‘tax related issue as regards a stadium expense’ is all they have to answer.

Not a chance we will be docked 12 points. That is posturing from the Premier League itself who want the independent committee extensively reformed if not abolished entirely.

I’m expecting a fine and a suspended points deduction. I am also expecting the ending of the P&S rules once both City and Chelsea win their cases.

Indeed there was.

Morning everyone,

Forget to tell Granny that the clocks go back so she was up like a lark at 5am ....oops.

7am now and it feels like a big lie in for me.

Backs gradually getting better and I might even risk a bit of gardening this morning. I need to move a very big Camellia and Amalanchier ( both in excess of 12 ft , have been in the ground for years and the roots will be a nightmare) but only have a limited window weather wise.
Added to that I need to move 5 rose bushes into a new rose garden that I am creating for Granny.

Yep all that should keep me busy and I haven't even mentioned the leaf collection which started last week .

Will make time to watch the game , fingers crossed that we can get something out of it.

Anyway whatever you do have a lovely day everyone.

Do you collect them with a mower? I have a ride on that picks them up but as you know you can mulch them .

I do hope you’re right

Decided to try out my new running rain gear this morning, a bit of a brutal rain and wind combination but decided I’d optimistically get the miserable part of my day out of the way first before watching Everton . I have faith

Yes on the large lawn but for the other areas I blow them onto the borders to act as a mulch

Well played blues and Branthwaite by a mile MOM
