It isn't going to make anybody smile.

I thought of putting that ,but in fairness , it made me smile that he couldn't even see that it was a thread where that was supposed to happen

Live a good, honorable life… then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.
Don't interfere with somethin’ that ain’t bothering you none.

If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around..
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.
Most times, it just gets down to common sense.

No help to your search, but seeing the work meeting evidently being held across the Landrover reminded me of the farm manager on the estate where I worked pre college. A chap by the name of John Stephenson from Norfolk who somehow ended up in Herefordshire. He’d frequently draw directions and instructions on the bonnet of his Subaru and we’d always ask if we could unbolt it and take it with us.

What made me smile today is quite childish…..

Got wife to pick me up from the yard, she brought one of the boys in the car. She then decided she wanted to walk back up the farm road with the dog, so I took the car and asked if the boy wanted to drive (steer, on private road). Awwww, that’s nice she said. Anyway we get installed, window down, he leans out and says bye bye mummy with a little wave, can see her heart melting “drive safely”. We then rag the absolute shite out of the car up the road doing a 0-60 with the cherub behind the wheel, leaving her in a cloud of stoor. Could see her gesticulating from 1/4 mile away in the rear view mirror .

She’d calmed down by the time she got home. 🫢

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Can’t fault you!

 

[Muddyroads]

This made me smile today, for no reason other than it being such a rarity.
