This morning I was trying to explain to MrsPete that, if I invented an all-in-one kitchen appliance that would be a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher for those folk, like us, who have a small kitch, that a major problem would be the spin cycle... 🤷♂️

You look after yerself, or else...I have to be careful here as I said I am officially banned but for complicated reasons it has been lifted for a few hours. I don't want to aggrevate things.
Basically it revolves around a joke I posted. I personally can't see anything wrong with it and have asked the mods to tell me exactly what was wrong with it.
So.... assuming they don't remove this post ......look after yourselves and behave
Morning troublemakers!
Dry day ahead, might even almost reach double figures 🫣
Using our NT cards to head to Stoneywell - an Arts & Crafts place nearby. Never been, but we are trying to storm NT places this year (first time we’ve bought membership) 💪
Then plans for decorating will begin…a lot to clear first 😳
Looking forward to the last Traitors on Thursday evening 👀

Good morning. Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs.
A bright and breezy day here. This is good news. I'm hoping it will dry the leaves on the allotment so I can blow them around. Some will be piled 6" deep inside my fruit cage as a mulch. Some on the compost heap, not many as they can make a wet soggy layer that doesn't rot. The rest I'll blow out the back gate on to the dirt track that runs behind my allotment.
First I have to return to #3 son's house; curtain pole, shelves and wall mirror. First though I have to go in search of extra long electrical socket screws. #1SP's bedroom has been skimmed, now the plaster is deeper two wall sockets don't fit well and are loose. I can't ignore that, I'd never forgive myself if something happened. Yesterday also highlighted my lad needs a decent head torch and set of Allen keys with handles. I'll order those from Screwfix for collection this morning.
It's amazing the stuff one collects over the years. Like a head torch and Allen key set. Even more so screws. I'm not known for my DIY or other practical abilities but never throw little bits left over away - just in case. I always keep undamaged screws and have a well organised screw collection. People smile quietly at each other, they exchange pitying looks.......UNTIL when you NEED four extra long electrical screws Granddad within moments can produce two from his well organised screw collection. Sadly I need four but one does one's best. I don't always get the credit I deserve. 😂😂😂

to be pedantic - the spin cycle wouldn't be the problem
using the dishes after would be the problem
An expanding plate rack with clips on the top of each slot. Insert in drum and adjust until it mates with the sides. Slot the plates in from front to back and engage the clips. Rotate the drum to the next row of slots, rinse and repeat.
Ahhh... You've spotted the flaw in the design, then 👍

The armour was contained in shaped pockets closed with Velcro. Some jacket were sold without armour so you could choose your own or go without. The jackets wear well without it so I figured I’d dump the plates and keep them.
D3O seems to be the most populate of the reactive type. There are some fun videos on their website.

D3O is pretty cheap over here. I thought I’d make a little suit for the budgie… toughen him up a bit.
