Lockdown is becoming a distant memory and I miss it a little. I developed a new vocation with home schooling and taught my new Grandson to count.
I made him count the number of "ring-pulla" and bottle tops I had and made him count by the number of chocolates he put in my mouth.
You were supposed to put the chocolate in HIS mouth.

Turga, you won the #800 prize and you two boys didn't seem to notice

Oh, we noticed, it’s just that we are so modest and phlegmatic that we prefer others to announce the event.

I think the prize should go to me instead since I am so observant.

I’ll be happy to share the prize with you 99/1 % (in my favor, of course) – it could actually turn out to be to your advantage if the prize turns out to be a one year subscription to “Country Life” :D
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Nope...how wrong can you be...one of life lessons when they are young. It teaches them numeracy, thinking of others before yourself, taking care of the elderly and....chocolate is bad for you and makes you fat.
Numeracy?...You and Turga are vocabulary show off. You could just say plain 'ol Arithmetic...☝️✌️🤟🖐️😅
Chocolate makes you smile, not fat.

Don’t feel bad about it; physicians and nutrition experts actually categorize (dark) chocolate more as a vegetable than a candy. Makes sense as it is made from cocoa beans; but yes, excessive devouring of the substance does make you fat :p
I pretend dark chocolate is a health food...so no guilt.😋

I loved DD..."Dirty Dancing"...probably a chick flick the Not boys never saw unless a laydeee drug them to it.😅
Wrong. I enjoyed it and it wasn't because of Peg. I have seen it twice and wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Ghost on the other hand was ghosted. Peg was a potter and so it would be too laughable.

I liked Ghost, too. Both are types of romances, but I don't remember the famous song from Ghost, only the DD.

I have seen it as well..I was only joking.
I was a little disappointed though. It wasn't as dirty as I hoped. 🙈
I've seen the other as well 👻

That famous song from "Ghost", "Unchained Melody" always reminds me of the love theme from the movie "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

Now serious, "Unchained Melody" is one of the few modern songs that does not have its title in its lyrics. Wikipedia explains how it got its name.

And, as for The Righteous Brothers, they got their name when a black fan exclaimed "That was righteous, brothers." [They were not brothers.]

A lovely song, but this one is my fave of the two.😃

Slip sliding away, slip sliding away.

You know the nearer your destination the more you’re slip sliding away.
We call them "Calypso's" this side of the Atlantic. I have a few in the freezer.
They are great teasing material for young (2 year oldl grandson who needs to be assisted. I squeeze out about an inch and offer it and just as his mouth is about to reach the frozen goodness I let it go so it disappears back in again.

Bad Grandad.
 
I remember that my "spit" would soften the cardboard and it would eventually start collapsing, making it harder to push up the remainder...they were called "push ups" on my side of the Atlantic, but I don't recall them retracting to tease the innocent.
@Bristle Boy, you sound like a real teaser.
Look what I found! Recycling at home is the absolute best...forget using the bin when you can create things...such as pulpo!

And I have been under the mistaken belief that the cardboard was the most nutritional part. The multi use of the toilet roll might go some way to explain the popularity of the product and shortage during the covid pandemic.
I've made your model and put it alongside some real pulpo to compare the taste.
The toilet roll tastes better.

They aren't quite like this then.
Not quite..his genius was to stop it rolling. 🤣 when parked on a hill.
The true genius was if he had made the wheels square he would have got four clunks per revolution...being triangular you only got three 😅😅😅

Of course David was not being serious...my kind of guy.

It maxs out at 5 kph but only if you have even credit to fuel it.

BTW, I just learned that the Cannonball Run record was broken a number of times during the pandemic due to lighter traffic. Now 25 hours and 39 minutes. Crossing Denmark wouldn't take so long though.

Turga would need to get his stamps when he refuels at SHELL petrol stations

At Turgamobile speed, it would still take a fair amount of time to cross Denmark, but at say 200 kph you could make it from farthest north to farthest south in less than 2 hours.

But why hurry? When the first railroad line opened in Denmark in 1847 running at max 60 kph, a group of physicians stated that “At such speed, the constant and rapid variation of visual impressions is bound to damage the brain and further, it is a well established fact that such exaggerated functional activity will inevitably cause degradation of human tissue.”

So… let’s take it easy :)

Am sat at home having a sportsfest.
