Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I am waiting for a 32gb sd card to arrive for my new phone. The excitement is completely underwhelming.

I've just shortened my new shorts why do they make them so long, it's my arse that need padding not my knees and I hate those grippy things they sew on them too.
View attachment 396409 Well...we just had a very nice Sunday lunch and a waddle back home.
I do like Sundays.

Serious 'executive power nap' time coming on now.....
Hope that tasted better than it looks.
I worked 3 days last week , well 19 hours to be precise.
I've decided I won't be doing that again.
It's onlt meant to be an occasional shift , as and when .
Two maximum from now on, and even at that I don't want full days.
5 or 6 hours to visit a few folk at home, preferably spread out a bit , so I can enjoy the cycle between them.
That's really the main reason I still do it.

I hope you have a warranty on the Panda. There is a tendency for rust around the back suspension. My 2005 was on its last warning when I changed it and a neighbour’s 2008 had to get extensive welding or a total rear axle assembly at a cost which would have been approaching 4 figures. She took the welding. If you get mysterious computer faults check your battery. If it is getting near the end of it’s life even tho’ appearing ok you can get weird faults.
I am on a pre retirement wind down at the moment. I have to take outstanding leave from last year before the start of March, so I booked this week and next off, (I had cancelled some of last years when my Dad died last September). I only have 26 shifts left to do.

I just bought myself a LHD car for Spain, it's on UK plates 2010 Focus Estate so I suppose I'll have to drive down to the house in Spain and get it matriculated over to Spanish plates. It was originally French so I hope it's not to complicated and expensive to do. I pick it up 3rd march I told him no rush, I find I don't do that these days.

Up the pub with Freddie the Farmer and Ray the Racist most of the day. Its not my fault, was walking past just before mid day and the dog clearly got a whiff of Pepperami and dragged me in.
Well, not one to waste a happy accident I may have accidentally drunk 7 pints of Guinness and a Bells. The dog ate his weight in free crisps and scampi fries. I stumbled out at 1839hrs and the dog led me home. Retirement is great .
