I've had a bad day ! I sprayed some motorcycle panels and they all pickled up ! 
It's a good job that I only made up a small amount of paint, so I haven't wasted much .

Great big wodge of applications sent off; ten I think. All very slightly different because they were to different project managers in one organisation. I'm sure one somewhere has the wrong name or details even though I checked them several times...

On a more positive note, I checked in with a friend who started a company teaching English and doing translations about a decade ago in northern Stuttgart, and it turns out he may have some freelance work for me.
I'd still have to get a 'normal' job where I'm paying for social security and healthcare et c, but this gives the option that if I see a job offered for a three or four day week I can apply and then do freelancing for the other days, which I rather like the sound of: I enjoy working with people with disabilities and psychological illnesses but I'd also appreciate the variety.

It seems the email programme sent everything twice. It that's the only problem, I'm happy.

Just been checking my wife's car ready for it's MOT tomorrow. I adjusted up the handbrake, fitted a new front sidelight bulb and polished both headlights.
I wonder what they will find?

I hope that's the only reason my bathroom has let in water. Wind driven rain. I think some had been pushed under the roof tiles.

I hope so. Mind you, we had a full on leak in our apartment roof a year or two ago and it seemed fairly simple to fix*.
On the other hand, if the water is coming through the chrome bits sticking out of the wall, that's normal and you can stop worrying.
Happy to help.
*Before someone makes comment, we do live in the attic, so it wasn't coming from the neighbours.

I find that they have been very good at doing my MOTs over the years. They have only pointed out things which needed doing and not gone looking for work .

Yes. They were foggy before I started polishing them .

Try some toothpaste on the lens of the light. It gets rid of the yellow colour cast.
