Starting to droop here. Bed seems like a good idea.

Nunnight one and all xxx

 

[Oldhippy]

It is stupidly windy outside.

The lightbulb on the staircase has gone *ping*

It's going to be a b*tch to get up there to replace it

Not a problem I have. Ah, the joys of living in a bungalow! 😊

Glad to admit I was wrong about the footy - those youngsters brought a much needed boost to Arsenal's energy levels at the start of a match. I hope they keep that up in the next few matches! No more of this sitting back to see what the other team is going to do (which is usually to attack us and go a goal up before we even start playing!).

From a quick looksy, I reckon the bulb changer on a pole is a non-starter.

The kit will cope with bayonet fittings, but not fittings that dangle according to reviews. I'm not coughing up for the kit plus the pole only to find out it doesn't work.

Oh, 'tis a dangler. No, it won't work.

I changed a light bulb the other day. The old one was getting pretty feeble and I was planning to have my mother round for a Christmas meal. Her eyesight is very poor so I thought a brighter light would help her make her way around. The current one is very, no, far too bright for me so I will change it back.

One of the advantages of being fairly tall and living in a flat with a slightly lower than usual ceiling is that changing the bulb requires no ladders, chairs or acrobatic balancing acts.

I just did a hard sudoku in under 5 minutes with the aid of a second mug of tea. Bella is being more petulant than stormy down here. This is something of a relief as well as a disappointment.

Wind has subsided outside as has the rain so might sneak out for a few local miles.
Oh and a good morning to you all

 

[PeteXXX]

Good morning, all.. Yes, the storm has blown itself out.
My little plastic greenhouse thingie will need reattaching to the wall as the rawlplug got pulled out by the wind.
That'll be my second job of the day after riding over to No 1 daughters (she's covid 'legal' as she is A: vulnerable & B: in the family bubble) to fit a carpet.
Note: The carpet is there. I don't have to carry it with me!

Another power cut last night, so three ovens need their timers setting. On the plus side I've read the instruction book and found you can have the time not displayed, so I'll have one showing and the other two not.

 

[Oldhippy]

Three ovens!

 

[Deleted member 26715]

Three ovens!

Yeah you would have thought they'd have put another one in for Goldilocks

 

[tyred]

Still windy with rain mixed with sleet.

Global warming must have taken a fortnight off over Christmas

 

[Oldhippy]

Just grey and wet now.

Well they were damp underfoot miles

 

[Illaveago]

Morning.
We have some sunshine at last ! There is a pond on our back lawn and our garden furniture seems to have fainted.

 

[Tenacious Sloth]

Hard to reach... It's a three ladder job. Two against the wall to take the scaffolding boards that reach the top of the stairs on the other side, then a step ladder on the boards.

Wow! That sounds dangerous and something I wouldn’t attempt without a cable harness, double mattress, a fully-trained team of acrobats and the Fire Service.

Please be careful; you don’t want to be anywhere near a hospital at the moment.
