Conkers...

If you've ever played conkers this should make you smile...

~Flat conkers are known as ‘cheesers’ or ‘cheese cutters’

~Old conkers are known as ‘seasoners’, ‘yearsies’ or ‘second yearsers’

~First to call out ‘strings’, ‘clinks’, ‘tangles’ or ‘snags’ when you get tangled strings gets another go.

~Hardening methods: bake for an hour, leave in dark drawer for a year, soak in lemonade or vinegar but best of all pass the conker through the digestive system of a pig! (really?!)

~If a conker is knocked out of opponents hands, shout ‘stamps’ and jump on it! But if they shout ‘no stamps’ first you can’t.

The girls have been playing conkers, Evie has hit May's hand more times than the actual conker and May has no oomph so her's is just kissing the air! She is also moaned of arm ache, a common conker injury, you can see her supporting her arm with her other hand! However, they're having a ball!!

Lovely day, went to Evie's school and sat in her class and watched some children present their homework and now getting ready for Kath to pop round for a few drinks as Colin is away with work for a few days!!

Right, need to put the laces back in my trainers!
