Thursday should be fun. rain, sleet & snow expected between the morning & evening commutes. typically bossman doesn't let us leave until it's unsafe to drive

My garden broom is knackered.. It needs a new head & a new handle, too..

how will you recycle the old one?

I'm trying to match the furniture which was damaged in the flood at my father's house with replacements, as requested by his loss adjuster.

Some are OK-ish to match, others nigh-on impossible given some are antiques / bespoke.

A suggested valuation for the jazz record collection appears to have been acceptable. At least I don't have to match hundreds of rare records with sold prices, if they are actually available.

are the actual vinyl records destroyed or just the cardboard covers? understanding that sometimes it doesn't matter if everything is gross. we had a sewer flood out Dad's basement office & a lot had to be discarded

The head will go in the bin and the handle will do as a plant support 👍

Just the cardboard covers - so the suggestion is to cover the loss of value rather than destroy the records. That compromise seemed to have helped him cope with the stress of them being deemed to be 'written off'.

You can buy plain white cardboard covers and inner sleeves to replace the water damaged ones

Happy 75th @postman

Antibiotics doing the trick it seems as toothache has gone.
Ernie paid out £100 - where's the rest of the 0s?
Just had to pump one car tyre up, thinking expense looming as it probably has a slow.

@raleighnut - I did explain that to an upset elderly parent. But then received a lengthy discourse about why the cover of an LP by an obscure 1960's jazz artist was so central to the music that I chose not to suggest that for the next LP he showed me. And the next. And the one after.
