Farmer's Curst Wife did.

She were from down south though!
And got sent back, too bad to be in hell.

I think I've got a middle age crisis.
Or midlife crisis. Whatever the name.

You old enough?

I've had to spend the latter part of this evening being the recipient of online abuse, both on a FB group and via FB Messenger, with the abuser then accusing me of bullying.

An unpleasant individual. Reported both to the group and Facebook.

I can do without these type of people in my life. Unfortunately I have to go past their house whenever I want to go anywhere.

Edited: I've now had similar overnight from what I presume is the respondent's husband. Personal, and unpleasant again but this time threatening - both in terms of going to my employer and also to me. And again reported.

Made it home anyway. It is fine once I adapted to how to drive it but desperately down on power. Every hill was reaching for the gear lever. Made surprisingly little difference to the actual journey time over a 35 mile drive.

Not sure what is up with it. No obvious miss fire or anything, sounds normal and hsppy to rev up with no load on the engine but a very low idle speed and no power. I'll have to get someone to do interrogate it's brain. I don't really need it at the moment anyway.

I had a similar problem with an engine once, admittedly decades ago. It turned out to be a dirty "needle" in the centrifugal carburettor. When I tried to accelerate there was no power.

The other occasion with loss of power was when the lever under the accelerator pedal became disconnected from the pedal. No, I do not know how that happened.

Been awake for a while so going to do some miles

Worked for me and I eventually sold the table I used it on for a nice profit.

15 years or so 'down the line' the stains will begin to show (It takes that long for the wood to show the contamination)
OK for a quick 'refurb' but not good in the long term.

Good morning. I'm at the small shop today, so I've got about 20k or 12 miles there and back; hopefully the heat won't be too oppressive as there was rain in the night. Allegedly the temperature should be in the 25-30°c range.

In other news, I've got some chairs to add to the table, but I still haven't found a bed.

Looks like someone's bolted a cut-down door to a pair of cast iron legs. Does have potential, though...

Sarah Moore from Money for Nothing would sell that for thousands !

If you know who is sending the abuse can you report to the police.I don’t know how these social media things work having never used them.It seems they can be a means of bullying without face to face contact
Hope you manage to get it sorted.

Up late, today.

I managed to change a setting on my phone and now it keeps going lighter and darker. I think it's called Adaptive Lighting or summat.
Now I've got to find the box to tick (or untick) again.
I wonder where it is 🤔

Thanks. I now know who they are - name and address - so can follow it up if needed. I'll give Facebook and the group moderators 48 hours to respond, then take action if they don't.

Basically it appears that they accused someone falsely whilst being illegal/dangerous themselves, didn't like the response from the public - including me - and then have become abusive as a response despite none of the respondents personally identifying them. It appears to be typical behaviour of a narcissist-type personality.
