Just spent an hour on WattsApp helping Middle Son work on his presentation for his English exams.

I remember my German exam was basically asking the way to the railway station. He has prepared a PowerPoint presentation on the Tokyo SkyTree, and how it's earthquake proofing technology works...

Got a Wattsapp at work: He got a grade 1.2. as 1.0 is pretty much as good as it gets he's pretty pleased. (he deserved it too)

My replacement shaver has been sent back to the seller by DHL as "Delivery not possible". Now the delivery (originally scheduled for Wednesday) has been rescheduled for Saturday.

As usual DHL have not made any effort to respond to emails or phone calls.

Meanwhile, I'm looking increasingly like Bigfoot. :okay:

Sounds like an improvement.

I have a parcel that has been with Hermes 'National Sorting Hub' since the beginning of the month and was due to be delivered yesterday.:whistle:
 
Ooh! That went off with a bang ! :ohmy:
I just thought I would pump up a flat tyre on an old bike . I could just see the inner tube bulging as it tried to escape and Bang ! Off it went before I could release the pressure . :ohmy:. :sad:
The worst, even when you know it might happen it still shocks, especially in a confined space. Happened to me once when I worked in Harry Halls shop for a summer job after leaving school.
A bloke being served near to me very nearly stained his trousers, I don't know where the Beano got the word "eek" from, its not the noise people make when something approaching the sound of a gun goes off next to them.

Ah, I know what you mean. CFRP composites tend to make that sort of noise when shattering. I, erm, neglected to mention that fact to research colleagues. Ever wonder why no one wanted to book lab time when I happened to be using the instron? :whistle:

Mild, bright and blustery here chez Casa Reynard. The forecast showers seem to be sliding past and dumping their loads of rain and hail elsewhere.

In the mean time, I have morphed overnight from Wheezy to Sneezy... I may eventually turn into Grumpy later... :laugh: Perfect for a one-woman version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. :crazy: I slept really well though.

Have been preparing Seville oranges to make another batch of marmalade. Just plain Seville this time. Although I might chuck a slug of brandy in as well...

Almost time for lunch, and I has a hungry.
Just see Doc, he'll put you right.
