I have to wash and dry my rods and reels as any condensation or moisture will wreak havoc on the air tight cabinets I store them in. Also the LEV system I have installed in the garage to extract any pellet or bream-laden net fumes causes an almost hypnotic/slight hum white-noise effect that...

Those micro soil aerators coupled with oxygenated Evian sprinklers he’s got running have got his lobs growing and kicking like baby anacondas.

Tap with one, two or three fingers? And to any particular rhythm ?

Are we allowed to give a barbel mouth to mouth with the heightening rise in COVID cases again? Do we replace “Staying Alive” as the rhythm to use for compressions with Bob Nudd’s “Maggots in ya Catapult” ?

Good luck Jeff- look forward to reading your reports again this year - should inspire me to get out on the bank. Hopefully bump into you down SS again at some point. Tight ones pal

Did you catch there Jeff?
