The Pointless Page

Correct Dave, although  it might be "size-er or even sighsir, with a S.Cumbrian or even Westmorland accent.  We should really ask Goldie for the correct pronunciation. 

Think I read that Tammygirl was on the Zeebrugge / hull ferry tonight,

one of my work colleagues was on the Hull / Europoort crossing tonight

and there is a  Severe weather warning and an expected delayed arrival time of at leat 2.5 hours hope everyone o these ferries are ok

Lit the wood burner and settled back in my favourite armchair to cogitate the pointless question, when I awoke the answer hadn't been revealed, nice cosy doze though, so not completely pointless

It's just "size - er".

And if you're in the area, don't forget to go to Low Sizergh farm Shop (our cousins!).

I'm sitting in the awning, having a cup of tea at the moment. The sun's shining but it's rather windy.  I slept eleven hours last night, yet I'm still feeling tired. I think I'll fall asleep in the relaxer soon or would that be pointless because I'd probably wake up after half an hour so, feeling tired once again!

Lovely walk with the dog this morning,  the wind had brought down the last of the conkers,  had to bring some more home, pointless really as I've already collected loads! 

Helen, OH likes growing conkers, then passing them onto local plant sales. He managed to bonsai one conker from a tree we had in Scotland, then passed it on to our son as a memento, it promptly died under his care....son now has huge conker tree in the street a few yards from his house full of local lads with sticks etc at this time of the year. There must be a moral in that somewhere...our grandson is happy with the present situation though. 

Not sure I could grow any Brue,  love the trees though.

I want some conkers to deter the spiders in our conservatory so when we picked the grandsons up from school this afternoon we gave them the choice of collecting conkers or going for a chocolate milkshake. Guess which they chose 😦A bit of a pointless question really.

Do conkers deter homing spiders? I am sure I have removed the same spider umpteen times!
