Oooh, but Mike, it looks about 80mm shorter in length.

Tell her we call them Canada geese and she'll just have to lump it. Unless they have Canadian passports.....

If you call them Canada geese you are correct! It doesn't change to Canadian in the plural.

I think the Gulls have opted for a spot of religion today as they have decided to sit on the church roof instead of mine .
Most of the bad weather has managed to stay away from here and it has been sunny this afternoon although there has been a cold strong wind blowing.
I sat outside in the summer doing some work on my second mudguard .

Fitting mudguards to a bike correctly is a job that must not be rushed.

2-3 day’s minimum.

Nominative determinism.

Nominative determinism.

I had to Google that.

 

[Tenacious Sloth]

Right. I’m off up the Medical Centre for a blood test.

This could be embarrassing as I have a tendancy to pass out around needles.

Most inconvenient during my 25 years in the Armed Forces.

You're gonna have to make new drawers now.

I went from Glasgow to Edinburgh by bus today.
Well 3 buses if you count the local ones at either end. ( 6 in total )
Grandson safely returned.
Bus concession passes are great.

Maz is going down to visit her Daughter and the Grandkids/Great-grandkids next week on hers. Leicester > Swindon for zilch.

Not that that would be a problem, but no, the drawers won't be functional because there will be basin waste and pipes running though one of them, and a towel rail and radiator in front of the other. So I'll simply be permanently fixing the drawer fronts into place.

I take it the castors are going too then, could be worth a few bob to a restorer.

I seem to be sandwiched between two banks of storm clouds at the moment . It is nice and sunny, but for how long I do not know .

I managed to figure out the BBC Breakfast maths quiz in my head this morning but then my brain went foggy and I couldn't remember how I did it .

 

[hopless500]

And those who do it for a living?

I imagine they know a bit too

That's entirely going to depend on the height of the basin we buy. We don't have one yet. We're going to want to bring the lip of the basin to approx the usual height (about 815 to 830mm), so if we need to lose a little height, they go. Otherwise, this piece of furniture will be screwed to the wall, so the castors would be decorative only.
