Hmph
Feeling sore and foolish
I've hurt my good thumb. Ouchy
Back to being completely useless

After watching some wet and muddy park runners, I continued my walk but
slipped on wet leaves on the steps down to the loop line.
I landed on my back side and saved my bad hand but the good hand took a whack, particularly the tip of my thumb which has bled under the nail

 

[slowmotion]

I'm nipping out to Lidl.








WTF happened to SexnDrugsnRocknRoll???

Day 5 of step daughter renovations....last week, removed all the wall paper upstairs, 9 hours, boy I enjoyed my pint that Saturday night!

Today removed the toilet, sink and finally the bath, capped off all the water, none of them had any isolation valves.... but they do now!
The bath was either iron or steel, not sure, but Christ it was heavy, me and son in law got out and down the stairs. I have never lifted anything so heavy, but a really good job done and the daughter delighted to see the 70's pink bathroom suite finally removed.

Pipe freezing kits, wow they are the future, so clever and easy!

Next time take the bath out in pieces, they break easily with a club hammer.

Thats how they did the old baths in our first two houses.

My daughter stroked a southern white rhino today, and reports that the skin was somewhat like a gel bike saddle.

Smooth, soft and smells of sweat?

Squidgy, supple, and with a Charge logo on it.

I made the last bit up.

Just uploaded 37 monochrome photos I took today.

About 8 are good.

The rest are crud.

This morning I took all my empty beer bottles to the bottle bank.

Now I begin the whole process over again...

Don't you have a separate Wheely bin for bottles ?

In Glasgow we have 4
Blue.... plastic, cardboard etc
Green... general waste
Brown...garden and food waste
Purple...glass. it can be noisy on Sunday mornings

In places you're charged extra for that. Many take them there themselves because the extra charge isn't worth the amount they'd have in the year.

No charge if you take them there yourself.

I possibly could have if I wanted but it's hardly worthwhile. Every town here has somewhere with big bins for bottles, tins etc which are collected by the council. Mine is only about a mile away.
