From my Facebook memories this morning.

Take your current age, and add one.

That's how old you'll be next year.

I thought you were making that up BUT I just tried it and you are indeed correct.
You are not just a pretty face 🙂

Yup - that was me

I was the only person who could reliably find BBC2!


EDIT - for the younger people on there
BBC1 and ITV were on VHF - which was easy - well not easy as all we had was numbers on a dial - but you could work out the number you needed and it was tured to only certain positions ever 5-10 degrees round the dial via click
One of the numbers was a letter "U" for UHF
When it was on U the tuning used the UHF dial underneath which was a smooth sweep - and the best reception was not always in the same place

Easy really - or so I though at the time

Cheese and onion quiche for me. It was in the reduced section as it is to be used by today.

Quite a strong breeze picked up now so keeping the house a bit cooler.

RIght - I'm awake and I have repaired some cobble like bits of the patio that had come loose
idiots that did the patio didn;t to a very good job - the base layer for some of them hadn't been mixed properly and some of it was just pure sand - no wondervthey came loose
if my solution works then I can used it for the bigger slabs at the front that are much worse


now lunch - pork pie and tomato - maybe some beetroot from the jar - should get the fruit and veg portions up a bit!

The jokes that Tommy Cooper told were really stupid, but they still made you laugh.

When you wake up in the morning you never quite know how the day will end :-

Today I thought I better try and start my car as I have not used it for four weeks, it started, but very rough so tried it again and it sounded if it was only firing on 3 cylinders and then smoke came out of the engine bay, I quicky switched off and opens the bonnet, there was light smoke, but not burning smoke and it was not exhaust fumes, so a quick walk to the garage.
The mechanic thinks an injectors is loose or broken, but as the car can't start I'll have to wait until I can get a tow or picked up as it is an automatic.
As I said I have not used it for four weeks and the last time I used it it was fine going like a good one so how did that happen.

Morning all

Off to Taunton this morning to fill car with diesel and to buy a leaf blower and chainsaw.
Probably be having lunch on the way back.

I feel faint at the thought of all that expense.

I feel faint at the thought of all that expense.

What filling the car with diesel
