My mother emailed someone at their outlook.com address but somehow typed in lookout.com. The odd thing is that after a bit of a delay the email arrived at the right place. I'll try that with mailg.com

Ya'll might think me a fibber, but I've just erected a pop-up tent and de-rected it and got it back in its bag 😎

@Hebe 612 nothing nicer than a sweaty pork pie especially if it has proper old fashioned jelly in

My cunning plan to resolve our sticky shower valve having come to naught, I emailed Bristan asking for advice.
I received an email asking when I'd purchased the shower. I replied February 2019. They replied saying that they'd pop a replacement valve in the post FOC, which should be with me in a couple of days. There are comprehensive fitting instructions in a attached PDF, they also offered to send one of their service engineers to do the work, but they would need to charge £79 if I chose that option.
That's exemplary service, I'd mentally pencilled in the cost of replacing the shower, so that means I have a bit of extra money to spend on fripperies vital upgrades to the bikes.😎

Must be some sort of world record.😄

It was delicious, with little tomatos and a bit of cheese. It had a little jelly, I'll try the proper butcher ones next time.

Remained overcast here all day but warm at 21C. Wind keeps it bearable and not too muggy.
Tried to change my Calmac booking for ferry next week but no chance and had to take one 3 days earlier than preferred and not the time I wanted either.
It is the local Highland Games next week but I doubt that has any effect on ferries. At one time everything shut down for the day and the whole town went up to the field. Now a shadow of it's former self as greed rules and many of the businesses have no attachment to local history so see no reason to bother.
Similarly the local agricultural show when everybody whether farmers, crofters or no attachment to the land went and the place closed up for the day. A good time was had by all and the beer tent did good business.

My lockdown pop-up tent has been in and out of its bag so many times that it now needs help to pop up. I still struggle to put it away though.

Clock in the showroom has just chimed 12 minute to two.

No-one knows why.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls.....

Being in Germany, is donging in metric instead of Imperial?

I think its in it's own time zone

Back off Boney, and put. The Scythe . Down.

 

[Andy in Germany]

Is it to remind you to mend the clock?

I've got the ideal tool for the job:

I am going to go and wash my hair, and then go and sit outside with a book and dry it in the sun.

How about that for an energy-saving tip?

Why'd/how'd the book get wet?

She was reading in the shower, while washing her hair.

Obviously.

She never mentioned the shower!
How did you know?
