Well it's time to relax and just been told that i can have a break on Friday

 

[Andy in Germany]

Just spent an hour on WattsApp helping Middle Son work on his presentation for his English exams.

I remember my German exam was basically asking the way to the railway station. He has prepared a PowerPoint presentation on the Tokyo SkyTree, and how it's earthquake proofing technology works...

Right, it's almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Lamb bhuna tonight.

Chicken korma in my gaff.

There's a gale brewing this evening. Is this Storm Meghan?

My car passed its MOT today with no faults or advisories, which means that come March 29th I can use it to go to other parts than this corner of Suffolk, even if I can't have a beer when I get there.

The weekend does get a bit less mundane as Lidl have their coffee on offer which is good news as I'm down to my last half dozen packs from the previous offers.

Other than that I've nothing to report from the past few weeks, not even bins (recycling or not) being put out for emptying.

The lamb bhuna was lush - I didn't quite have enough meat left from the shanks to stretch the curry to two days, so I tipped in a can of butter beans as well. Had it with basmati rice and poppydoms.

Sunshine food for a dreary day.

Thanks but I have figured it out! I need to get four of these:

Also I need to get an FM cable with a male plug. I have one but it has a female plug, which is probably why it won't fit!

I had a feeling it might use those after you'd said 72, my Quad (1967) uses really wierd ones though like a 'Banana' plug but shorter

Well that was a windy night outside
I put the black bin out last night as did all our neighbors but ours is the only one to have blown over

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

I thought I'd heard a dustbin lid crashing around in the wind last night but then I remembered that we don't have those any more.

 

[biggs682]

Just stood our dustbin back up .
Now to decide between fruit and fibre or mini shreddies
Oh and a🍵

 

[tyred]

All ready for another eight hours in hell work.

when I was just a kid, some 55 yrs ago, we had an old garage & inside was a metal spool of thin copper wire. it might have been "transformer/magnet wire" I used it from time to time for various kid projects, even building my own mobile ground plane shortwave antenna with a bamboo pole that worked. never did use up all the wire. parents still have the house but the garage is long gone. wonder what ever happened to that spool of wire ... looked something like this

I can remember my dad having a wooden reel of copper wire. It was very thin wire a little bit thicker than a hair .
