Desso Pitch..

[bricktop]

I keep seeing the updates shared a few MASSIVE gruntlets on Facebook. They also have the MASSIVE excitement of having a new telly installed. It has not yet been installed the but the smart money is on it being a shit 1980's Finlux monitor. In other horticultural news, the bald patches on my lawn are now sprouting luxurious green grass, although i do need to make an application of weed killer.

Does anyone know what happened to Ollessendro shed? That was gripping stuff.

Are we all ready for the week 7 video tomorrow?

Can't wait. Does anyone know what time it'll be released? I'm planning my day around it.

Think it's been mid-morning in recent weeks.

 

[MobileBlade]

I'm up and ready for it. What time does the overhyped preview start on Sky?

 

[stringjunior]

Is it today Dad?

Oh my God, I'm welling up here..............

This really would be better with some sort of commentary. No idea what's going on, looked like a few days of sweeping with a tractor and then *wham!* green stuff on the ground on Thursday, like magic.

Ennis-stand-watch update - signage still up.

 

[JohnDenver]

It's a blinder this week. We have greenery!

And that is one sexy perimeter.

 

[WhiteHawk]

Unbelievable scenes!

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

Lordy, not sure if I can take much more of this...............

 

[Bladebri]

So when they start injecting the fibre that takes 12 hours per track we still have 3 weeks of compelling viewing.

true - I was tying to explain to my nipper that at season end all we had sometimes was green triangles in the corners and a diamond of brown earth everywhere else.
best thing was we could still play footy on it - more than can be said for some of them these days

Oh my God, I'm welling up here..............

I can see the Green Shoots of recovery.

 

[MobileBlade]

Puts "Please don't walk on the grass" into a whole new perspective.

Thursday was this series' 'jump the shark' moment, completely lost its credibility.

The green green grass of home

Bonus edition we got a Saturday installement. Omg riveting stuff, a whiff of green Thursday morning to rich green areas on Saturday. OMG, OMG, OMG

Skip to 4:49, pretty sure patches of that stature aren't meant to be present.

That looks to me as though the sprinkler system is spraying water well away from the sprinkler itself, encouraging growth, but not close by. I'd be fairly confident that the installers will spot the big brown circles at some point, so don't worry too much +

My goodness I wish my poor excuse of a lawn would respond so quickly. Damn them, and all who sail in them
