I've just collected a DVD/VHS recorder from Freecycle.

This takes the biscuit !

Spam email just arrived in my inbox.

An advert for buy one get one free for an "adjustermatic" riser recliner chair !

I might be 49 and a bit battle scarred, but I'm not 80.



Goes to check the price !

How long is "a while" in terms of flour-based baked food product procuration?

 

[Andy in Germany]

Would that be "double steps", long, short or standard. Up or down?

Single steps, normal height.

Up and down, fortunately down when I'm in a hurry...

Today's home made soup is curried carrot and potato.

Must admit I'm quite chuffed with this one. For once I haven't overdone the curry powder, and the texture is spot on with the potatoes adding a bit of "body".

A few months I think.

The fault may be before the house, if North of the city centre.

I finished work today with an hour of daylight left. So, what was it to be? A quick bike ride on a beautiful afternoon, or an hour or two in the workshop?

An hour in the workshop?

 

[MikeG]

Two hours in the workshop.

I've got 9,999 'likes'.

In almost exactly 3 years, which is a nice symmetry.

I suspect a good half of those were in the hope I'd shut up and stop talking about Politics...

I have the misfortune of doing 2 days commuting to Birmingham, by train, this week. Sardines in a Tin comes to mind.

I've had two tins of sardines this week
