I've turned the washing machine on.
 
I had a cheese, ham and mustard toastie and a :cuppa: for supper.

Forgot to say I that also picked up a large bottle of ketchup in the green bins (damaged goods) this afternoon. The flip top lid was missing, though the bottle itself is still sealed. The one in the fridge is nearly empty, so when that's used up, I'll wash it out and decant the new bottle into it.
 
Oh ffs!!!

A few weeks ago, I got sniped on a slightly tired Tissot Seastar automatic watch. It was the watch head only, the original clamshell bracelet having long since bit the dust.

It's now back for sale on the 'bay for £500.

They sell for £250 on Chrono24 (high end retail prices) - and that's in tidy condition WITH the bracelet. So I think this one is going to sit there for a very long time. Another example of a seller living in Cloud Cuckoo Land... :wacko:

I like your style.
Best of luck on the next one.

Stopped off at work while I was out this morning to pick up my laptop as I need to book up for some nights away in October & November, but can't remember how much time off I've got left. All the windows in the office were wide open but all the light sea breeze was having no effect so I'm not looking forward to Tuesday which is my next day in.

Felixstowe seafront was stupidly busy - even the pay & display car parks were nearly full by midday. Some people had even set up sun shelters and the like on the shore line by the dock viewing point where it's usually only people fishing from.

Thanks :okay: Patience is a virtue and all that. :angel:

It's just as bad as the guy who has a Grand Prix Masters cap signed by Derek Warwick for sale at £249... :wacko:

Unlike watches, where I'm still learning and taking baby steps, this *is* my area of expertise. Hell will freeze over before this one sells - he's asking ten times what it's actually worth... (There is a guy on the 'bay selling the unsigned caps at just over a fiver a pop.)

Have to admit though, browsing Ebay is a source of great amusement at times.

Had about forty miles on my Peugeot UO-8 today (yesterday! ), my first ride on a road bike since my accident. Pretty hot:sweat: Annoying ticking noise which proved elusive was actually caused by the mudguard-mounted dynamo tail lamp's wires hitting the wheels (I hadn't got around to refitting the dynamo after restoring the bike and the wires were hanging loose).

My visitors came tonight and have now left after they drank all my whiskey and ate my biscuits!
