Hope you are feeling better today.

Yes thanks. Am less sore than yesterday and the swelling's gone down markedly. A good night's sleep helped massively too.

I just stood in a puddle. Luckily I'd put on shoes and socks before going out so I was able to avoid a catastrophe.

To the Armistice Day service on the Village Green this morning.
Excellent turnout in the sunshine.
Our oldest resident laid the wreath. 95 next he is. Chestful of medals including OBE and Legion d'Honneur.
He was in the Signals Corps , landed at D day and told me "It took us a full year after that to get to Hamburg, and it was a hard year." His unit sent the signal of the German surrender.
Makes you proud to be British.

Alfie, next door's grandson, is playing up something rotten. I'm off to get me tea to get away fromt' noise.

I know it is Saturday night and you are all enjoying yourselves, but can you help me decide on the right size bracket I need to repair my window.

https://www.handlesandhinges.co.uk/24-top-hung-upvc-window-hinges/

In the above link for 24" window hinge, none of the dimensions given are 24 inches or 600mm. It does say that hinges for 24 inch windows are 609mm, but does not explain which dimension that is. Am I being dim? (shut it Potsy! )

I will try and purchase one locally, but would need to know the size when I start ringing round to track one down on Monday.

It's been a while since I've done that, but they don't half make a mess, don't they?

 

[Reynard]

Made a nice batch of butter with some YS cream this afternoon. All I need now is some toast.

Learnt some lessons from last time, was much less of a palaver. The ice cubes in the water definitely helped. And I worked in two tablespoons of oil along with the salt to make it spread easier.

I'm just glad it was a small spud, I dread to think how much mess a large one would make.

You were very lucky then

All I can suggest is that you look at the second image on the web page and see how the dimensions given match your one.
