So it wasn't that record setting Patek Phillipe watch then ? £24 million !

Nah, a nice Accurist ! Nothing quite as posh.

Wonder if @SpokeyDokey was anywhere near Thrimby at approximately 19:35:03.7 yesterday.

Can you narrow the time down a bit!

Morning - bit slippy on the decking. Oiled it yesterday, but there was a load of frost on it this morning, that's now oily water. Waiting for the sunshine to dry it out.

Managed to break a nice watch the other day (nothing expensive but it was a present) - caught the time/date adjuster knob and it's ripped it out. The watch doesn't work now.

Fortunately, I purchased a new phone in January, and there was an offer for a Samsung Active Smart Watch (free). Just had a message to say it's being delivered today. Really don't like not having a watch.

I haven't worn a watch since I retired in 2015, I've got several in the drawer upstairs, batteries are probably flat by now.

I don't think I've worn one this century

There is another house for sale in this street. That is now one "sold subject to contract" one "under offer" and one new on the market. One had new occupants earlier this month. There are only 30 houses in this street.

Apart from keeping an eye on the housing market, I am having a quiet day. The last five days have been very busy. Tomorrow will be busy because the new lounge carpet will be fitted tomorrow afternoon.

I wonder what they answer when asked have they had any issues with any other neighbour on the street?

I wouldn't do half as much housework if it weren't for Teams

I stopped playing the banjo a very looooonnnng time ago. Most people on this street are very pleasant. Of the four houses, one person is moving to be closer to her friends, one lady died last year, and the latest one is a couple who have now split up. I think it is priced for a very quick sale.

Long way from me!

Just had a call from the doctor, apparently when I came off my bike last June I broke my back I have a crush fracture of my 2nd vertebrae

Still, grey and chilly here chez Casa Reynard. The world is trying to decide whether to disappear, but it can't seem to make up its mind.

I have had a kitchen day today. I have prepped vegetables and tabbouleh for supper, and the fish is already in its parcel ready to be posted into the oven at the appropriate time. I have put away de-quarantined shopping.

And that big parcel of salmon I picked up on YS turned out to be four large pieces rather than individual portions. I will steam two of them (nice for sandwiches) and the other two are beginning to turn themselves into gravlax as we speak.

Had a lovely lunch of chicken and avocado sandwich, two and half a lovely juicy ripe mango.

I am now waiting for glue to dry.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

We've now gone from dry grey to wet grey. It's not worth waiting for it to dry. Plus, I've just done 10 miles on the turbo trainer.

My smart watch is here. It apparently can email, text, phone people, navigate and pay for stuff. Hopefully it can tell the time !

I've already turned off the 'inactivity alarm' - bloody pesters you if you haven't moved from the desk for an hour !

It's OK for a freebie though !
