what could possibly go wrong

typical gun addict, their precious gun, is the answer to all their problems

but honestly, I can't imagine an Audi owner being that stupid, that's gotta be a fake

It's the passenger side door opened.
I know of one Audi owner who tried to use a trolley jack to raise the rear of the car, prior to working on it. He couldn't do anything as the jack damaged the fuel tank.

I can remember when I was working on a car which had a makeshift bonnet stay. The stay fell out and the bonnet slammed down. My fingers were in the bonnet gap between the wing and the bonnet at the time the bonnet slammed shut. You should have seen the look of horror on my bosses face. I was in a state of shock not knowing what had happened to my fingers! I didn't feel any pain. The boss opened the bonnet and I removed my hand. Luckily my fingers had just been bent down and we're just trapped in the narrow gap. No harm done but I was lucky.

Lovely comforting supper of potato, sweetcorn & bacon chowder, a chicken & bacon ciabatta roll, and the last of the apple & quince crumble with custard.

I make similar but without the Bacon, good meal if vegetarian friends/family come round and it can easily become Vegan if I leave out the knob of Butter and use more Oil when sauteeing the Onion and Spuds.

It's also good if you swap the bacon (and / or chorizo) for salmon scraps or some smoked basa / haddock. I add fresh chives and parsley to mine. The good thing about soups is that you can easily tweak a recipe to suit the circumstances.

The rain is very loud but comforting living on a narrowboat.

After a day which didn't turn out to be too bad with a bit of sunshine & a 35 mile bike ride, it has just started getting very wet outside.

A new bulb has been ordered for the fridge and the evening's hot chocolate has been had.

A great midday wander. Beautiful sunshine and warm enough to be nice.
All totally spoiled by the kitchen tap!

A bloody tap, part of it is such crap material. But it had cost £13 compared to it's predecessor that was ten times that much. Lasted about the same time.
Rummaged in the accumulated bits and pieces and found a replacement part
Then spent the whole afternoon on my back under the sink removing the faulty part.
Total pain in the back. Also rummaging for the plumbing tools took ages.
But I didn't face to pay a plumber
