Mundane News

[Andy in Germany]

I've just cleaned the burnt pan.

I need a third water barrel, the two I have are full.



The ad said 210l, and yes, I am wearing socks.

In other news, the birdbath I repaired broke again yesterday, depositing its contents on my left foot. Shoe & socks damp.

I think it has rained enough for a fourth. The hole I dug to pump water out from the bottom of the garden was dry, now it has water in.

It's my daughter's birthday coming up, and as usual want's money to put towards a new laptop or gaming pc. She usually falls a bit short on money, and buys something else (she bought a used Xbox One last time). So we've decided to build her one as a surprise. She currently games on an older laptop that came from her grandad. We've specced up an AMD Rizen 5 and my son has upgraded his graphics card and is giving her his older one (for those that don't know, this is where the cost is as a graphics card can cost upwards of £150 to £1000. Bits and pieces are starting to arrive in the post, and we should have everything by mid next week to put it together.

My friend used to have one in his kitchen, when I asked why he said it was too noisy to have in the bedroom, it was set to have a drink ready when he came down before going to work.

My father used to, only used it a couple of times, it made that much noise it woke him up 30 minutes before it was ready

I see now that the take-aways are open again, all the body kit and big bore exhaust brigade are back to sit in the car park beside McDonalds to eat crap and rev the nuts of the car and then cruise around the town looking cool

The peace was nice whilst it lasted.

Gad! You have that over there too. I think it must be from the psychological effect of eating McDonald's food or something. Stay away from that McRib, btw.

Mundane mundane..Do you know i can iron a polo shirt in one min thirty seconds. I was doing the ironing this morning,when a clock appeared on the tv screen counting down to a televised church service. It was the last item to do,,and i had to finish so Mrs P could sit and watch on youtube..I managed it.

Did you turn the collar up and do it flat? or did you put a crease in the collar?

Theres only one planetX

And that listing is still the same, with same illustration. Which is interesting, because I was just thinking about a SRAM front derailleur. But it looks unfit for purpose.

I may have mentioned this before, I have only eaten food from McD's twice in my lifetime. Once in Basel, Switzerland, and again in Dusseldorf. The reason was that the alternative on both occasions was very expensive restaurants.

What I should have done in Basel, is bought food from the small shops at the station, but the brain was rather tired after travelling all day. The other (two) times that I have been to McD's I had a coffee, or on one occasion, as they had run out of coffee, and doughnuts, I had nothing.

Had a week off the bike this week - been busy with 'birthdays' after work - dropping pressies off etc. Following on from my son upgrading his graphics card, he hadn't checked the connectors on the card had changed from DVI to Display port. That meant I had to rob two cables off my Zwift computer in the garage. Amazon to the rescue and new cables delivered. Will Zwift tomorrow.

Your McDonald's has donuts?

Your McDonald's has donuts?

About twenty years ago, no they didn't, they had sold out.

This small market town does not have a McDonald's, though we do have a fish and chip shop (or two). It is to be noted that this quiet part of quiet west Worcestershire is very quiet, and really we are still in the C20th.

They had a lot then, if it took 20 years to run out.

Is this a challenge?
