Good morning.
The Fragrant MrsP and I will be leaving Bath soon.

So how long have you and MrsP been having Baths together ?

Did you go on the Cathedral roof tour ?

Nothing mundane about bonkers parking charges here's two days worth last weekend, and yes the flight was cheaper
View attachment 493751

When booking a 2night stay in a London 10 yrs ago "claridges" i enquired about parking as i was going to drive so we could have a shopping trip and fill the boot.

The hotel was happy to sort the parking, "we have use of a car park around the corner"
Only £150 a day ah we par £3 in Peterborough, we'll get the train

Not travelled with LNER in a while so will defer to your experience, but isn't it just 'some' of the new Azumas? https://www.lner.co.uk/the-east-coast-experience/the-east-coast-standard/quiet-coach/

"Please note: First Class no longer has its quiet coaches. This will give you more flexible space and greater freedom. But fear not lovers of the chill - First Class will remain an oasis of calm, as will our Standard quiet coaches." Wish I had of read this yesterday, but guess what the WiFi was also down

I used to enjoy our trips to Bath. I used to enjoy looking at the architecture .
When my wife and daughter went shopping they used to leave me in the care of the Modeller's Den baby sitting me . We haven't been to Bath since it closed .
The William Herschel Museum is a good place to visit .

Morning!
I don't know what is up with my Lenovo tablet ! It seems to have developed a dislike to any video type of feature. If I try to look up anything which features any video it will show it but in freeze frame mode and without any sound !
Last night we checked to see if it was due to internet speed, but that seems to be fine. My wife checked to see if it was chock a block with rubbish but that is also fine .
I'm beginning to wonder if I may have to take it back as it isn't functioning properly .

I am no longer in Bath, but in the warm embrace of my habitual abode.

Thanks ! I will try that. I may be silent for a while .

It worked ! Thanks !

It was scary! I had to hold the volume and on/ off switch down for 10 seconds . The tablet vibrated causing me to jump and let go !

Up came a battery charging display!

What have I done ?

After several attempts I did it and it is now working fine .

Alt-Ctrl-Del used to be easier

I just switched on my laptop while shaking a can of primer at the same time.

That's multitasking, man.

That's a tough call ecologically: Change to eco friendly treehuggy version and add to landfill or repair instead of replacing and use oil? I see the problem.

I use a broom but I have it in mind you do this as a job which is in a very different league...

I use a broom as well, there are some places, like just outside out house, where you'd switch on the vac, wait 30sec and have to empty it. Fortunately the prevailing wind blows from our house across the road! But the blower is great on grass, that hasn't been mown because the water was lapping round the mower.

That said, I just wonder what those who live in a more wooded area do with the leaves, my garden bin was full the first time I used it & the compost bin has plenty in.

Personally I left them where they lay to rot into the ground and feed the spring growth. Circle of life man, circle of life...
