Ya'll might think me a fibber, but I've just erected a pop-up tent and de-rected it and got it back in its bag 😎

Can it be used again though, that's the real test.

 

[Andy in Germany]

She never mentioned the shower!
How did you know?

Logical thinking, innit?

My lockdown pop-up tent has been in and out of its bag so many times that it now needs help to pop up. I still struggle to put it away though.

Must resist, must re.....

And if she washed it* in the sink?


*Hair then the book.

What was wrong with it that it needed to be put down?

It was very heavy!

It was very heavy!

A bit drastic, intit?

Just watched the Lionesses *demolish* Norway.

Had scrambled eggs on toast for supper.

I washed my hair in the bath.

Been enjoying the Girard Perregaux watch I bought myself as a treat.

I've decided to keep the boingy bracelet as it is rather comfy, but it will need a service in the near future as it's running around 2 mins fast per day. Unlike the Gradus (also running a couple of minutes fast per day) this one is actually worth spending money on. It's actually ridiculously slim for an automatic watch that doesn't have a micro rotor.

Even better, Girard Perregaux gets a name check on the opening page of Ian Flemming's "From Russia With Love"

If both are running fast, by similar amounts, have you thought you it could be running slower not them running fast!

Disaster has struck. The base has collapsed on my favourite reclining armchair

Your logic is sound, but for the fact that the Seiko and the Citizen don't.
