Do you put newspaper in them ?

What's newspaper - I'd have to go out and buy one !

I think we may be claiming off the household insurance for a new laptop. Youngster cat knocked a drink over it a few days ago. I've sprayed the key area with electrical cleaner, but some keys refuse to work, others type two characters. It's currently drying near the radiator - oh and the mouse got hit as well and is dead. Fabulous.

Can't pop open the case as it had to be 'glued' as the hinges pulled open the case some years back. Thing is, it's not a cheap laptop, £1300 one. Ah well, I'll leave it over the weekend and see if it recovers.

I just bought a pair of new Diesel stretch fabric jeans from Lithuania £40 incl. delivery to France. I guess they are "seconds" ....hopefully not "thirds"

I used to do a reasonable business at shows of various kinds selling seconds. Mostly very little wrong with them and very good value but a surprising number of people thought they were not new but "preowned".

I'm happy to give this company a go , they have a good ebay record and for the money it's worth a punt....https://www.ebay.fr/usr/tommy_studios?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

Bright day with light showers but cold at 5C outside when I got up.
The house is getting cold as it takes a few days of heat for the fabric of the building to warm up so I lit the stove early today and ordered more smokeless fuel to keep me going for a week or two.
The price of electricity from SSE is extortionate so avoiding the storage heaters. We are supposed to be getting smart meters early next year so once that is done I will change suppliers I think tho' that seems to be a bit of a minefield for some who have changed but the benefits appear to be short lived.
I feel very old and tired today so just sorting out stuff from my trip away rather than getting outside.
I have also run out of freezer space so need to sort that out as well.

It's chilly out. I've been to Deptford to see the Little Amal puppet dance down Deptford High Street, discovered a new beer place on the way back (except they only do 2 beers, an IPA called Work and a lager called Posh), queued for a while at Hönle café only to finally get told that the queue started at the other entrance so I went to the Avalon Café instead where there was no such problem, and now I'm home.

Grey, chilly and blustery here chez Casa Reynard. If the cats don't want to go out, you'd do well to heed their advice.

I turned the rest of the ox cheek and rump that the girls didn't want to eat (they only got a small portion of it) into a spiced beef casserole that is now simmering away in the crock pot. Plus I have done some writing.

My Book of Faces and messenger are still not working properly.

It is almost time for luncheon.

Face slap is working perfectly fine here. Has there been issues?

I've had problems with facebook for a long time, not all pictures are showing, some of them just show a blank square and a written description. shutting it down then clearing Firefox's browser catch then restarting will sort it for a few days then it starts again.

I was posting old photos of general interest on our local FB page until I ran into problems with the pictures being posted and then vanishing. Not tried recently but must start again and try to sort it out.

I can't comment on posts. I can create a new post on my timeline or reply to someone as long as their name is in the field, but I can't just make a basic comment. Irritating as hell.

And my messenger just gives me a blank screen - whether that's in FB or on the website. That is actually a known bug btw, but I can't seem to work my way around it this time.

I've been having issues for the last fortnight or so. It's a right pain.

I'm running the latest version of Chrome, btw.

Anyways, had two slices of bread & butter for lunch, one with salmon, one with that Cornish cheddar, plus a minneola, half an avocado and the obligatory two
