Same place as mine

.....I'm sure it'll last until the end of the season

I hope you're right. Not sure of the rules but if they finish in the top four do they get to play Europe next season?

Yes!! Now there’s a thought!!

However much you would like to, please avoid visiting Speicher Towers over the next month.

The lounge is going to be redecorated and have new carpet over the coming weeks. Most of the lounge furniture is now distributed across the other rooms, so the whole house is a giant muddle. It would be good if you could have visited, and then helped me thin out the china/glass/tableware that I have accumulated over a lifetime.

I think I will ask some of my neighbours, the ones that have parties (in normal times) if they would like some glasses.

Also what is the best way of storing cds? It is not until I had to move them all that I realised how many there were. Please avoid suggesting that I load them onto a memory stick. Call me old-fashioned (or a taxi) but I like the cds and their cases.

Think yerself lucky. We've got a few hundred Vinyl LPs (and a shitload of CDs and Cassette tapes) Takes more than a day to shift that lot when Maz decides we're I'm repainting

 

[Speicher]

I have only got about seven LPs, but there are lots of cassette tapes. Lots of video tapes, mostly of recorded Tour de France etc. They were already in boxes, and easy to move. The cds were in stacks, and in those upright cd racks that are tricky to move without all the cds landing on the floor.

This room was last redecorated in 2005, I think. In another sixteen years, 2037 , I hope to have given away/donated etc lots of items.

Nah We I do a room every year so it's about a 7 year rotation but Maz is on about a new Carpet in the 'dinning' room (thats where my hifi lives and all the LPs etc.) but as I pointed out it was only done about 4 years ago

 

[Speicher]

Yes, doing one room a year is very sensible.

Sadly huge demands were placed on me by my mother, after my Father died. That was twenty years of sorting out stair lifts (twice), new boiler (twice) new doors and windows ad infinitem (?), re-wiring the house, with little or no help from either of my Brothers.

Long story short, over the years it meant that decorating and shedloads of other large tasks were postponed or neglected. Six months after she died, I was diagnosed with Cancer (July 2019).

Last autumn, the main bedroom was done, kitchen done three years ago, so nearly sort of caught up.

Reynard, what is an MOTD?
It's clear, a little cool, and the high winds forecast for today will blow last night's snow around. Still, a walk or maybe a ride should be doable.
Perhaps I will tackle a chore I have been avoiding...printing out tax forms on my POS printer. Times like this I wish I wasn't such a Luddite.
Last night I had to make dinner and so pinto beans with chopped onion, sliced avocado and green chile chicken enchiladas were the result. It was edible.
Be well and safe....

what is an MOTD?

I believe it refers to "Match Of The Day", and is connected to something known as "Football", a form of ritualised tribal warfare much favoured amongst certain tribes, and which their youth are often forced to "play" under the pretence of "education". (See also "Rugby")

Am I getting older, or is the Welsh Open Snooker final very interesting?

He'd know it as soccer, not football(which uses a simily odd shaped ball as rugby).

"Tribal Warfare", why didn't I look at it that way at school.

Reynard, what is an MOTD?

As @Andy in Germany says, it's "Match of the Day"

Basically highlights (mostly) of Premier League and / or FA Cup games - that'll be soccer to you over t'other side of the pond. AKA The Beautiful Game, where ladies like me get to watch 22 fit men wearing shorts and playing with round balls. And we may even support a team.

Which in my case is Arsenal.

And I'm not a "plastic fan" - I grew up a stone's throw away from the stadium. I could hear the crowds on match days.

 

[Reynard]

The prototype of the stub axle was just that. A prototype.

What I hadn't anticipated was how well the glue bonded with this particular type of card - it's pretty well much solid. And so as a result, the original was *WAY* over engineered. I have redesigned the stub axle to be much closer to what it should be.
