A bit of reverse fettling when I got home this afternoon - I took apart a solar powered shed light that stopped working some time ago to see whether it took a rechargable battery such as an AA or AAA that could be replaced. This is what I found, never seen one of these before.

That looks ready to pop.

Too small to be either of those so I've just done a search on the code on the outside - turns out that there is a 523450 battery which is a small, oblong block type thing so the one in my light has obviously gone wrong as it is more pillow shaped!

Could be AAAA batteries.

Might be where you are. Up here in Dewsbury it's

Now it's not been that cold!

Day in the office and didn't forget anything either way. Roadworks have moved during the day and the ebikes normal outbound route is now clear.

My working day is completed
Just went to start cutting the front lawn and it has started to rain

We have a Colman's mustard "antique effect" mirror on a kabding. More distressed than antique really.
It was a wedding present nearly 50 years ago from my boss at the time. I thought it was quite generous and out of character.
Today I took it apart to fix it. My earlier take on it was correct.
The whole inside had umpteen layers of scrap cardboard, to pack the mirror against the frame. Odd bits and pieces as if grabbed out of the waste bin
The Edwardian staples that held the hardboard back were so "street market".
But it's 59 years older now.

A faded photo of a king is held on place by masking tape.
I'm tempted to take the picture out and replace it with a photo of King Charles 3. But I'm not quite that much of a patriot or looking for more odd jobs

The package that Amaz on attempted to to deliver after the Post Office shut yesterday has been successfully delivered today while it is open.

I fancied a kofte kebab but I went to a different one today. The salad lacked dressing and the kofte was over-salted. Still, I wasn't to know that it was going to be second best to the one 100 yards up the road. But now I do.

Still not much heat here but I got washing dried outside. Still no word from my solicitor or from the builder. Some of the other residents are digging into all this stuff but I'm not good with legal matters.

I might venture out for a ride. Looking forward to more daylight when the clocks change. It is still light now when I finish work but I don't really like riding at that time as there are too many aggressive idiots in hurry home from work.

Seen 3 cousins today that i haven't seen for at least 10 years

My bank is emailing me about their new car loans!

I don't think I'm there target audience as I've paid cash for every car I've owned. Not because I'm rich but because I shop at the bargain basement end of the market.

 

[MikeG]

Your bank emails you? Wow. Mine doesn't even know I exist.

Actually, that's probably a positive......

 

[classic33]

yes!

Fair enough.

DOH!
Reassembled it. Put it back on the wall, walked away and two different corners popped.
