My relatively new downstairs neighbour began talking to me about chemtrails yesterday... as a possible cause of the sticky mess in his fridge

What would happen if you magnetised someone's Newton's Cradle ?

Or superglued the balls together? (NEVER a good thing!)

I ran out of bird seed yasterday, so they will have to go hungry in my garden for a while. The pigeons get 90% of it anyway and they all look like they should be on a diet.

Free lunch at work, today, to commemorate VE Day.

Pie, chips and gravy... 👍🏼

They'd end up with sticky balls.

Haha... no! This is the video I watched although there are several others on Youtube



Poor old 'Shotgun Red' is no longer with us unfortunately.

But Miss Sheila and Jennifer still are releasing recipes and making videos.

The trouble is that I'm going to have to do 100 miles in 3 days to beat her and there's no way I can do that on the turbo. It's going to take a sunny spell so that I can do it on a real bike.

Battery powered drill attached to the bike to spin the wheel when you're not on it!

When I came home, my neighbor was cleaning her garage, and throwing things out for bin day. I took her discarded gas strimmer, as it was about 2 times better than my old Homelite. I believe I just need to replace the cord on the pull start.

Why not believe everything on TV? BBC News at 10 had a recent bit about an island on lockdown and how we survive. Talking to friends the general reaction about those interviewed is "who were these people?" I have never heard of most of them before. Alan "Winker" MacLean was the only real local and nobody who knows him would address him as Winker anyway. He barely got time for a sentence. A couple of others would just about qualify but those given most prominence I have never even seen before. Settlers talking to settlers.

A cleaning morning today.First ironed the bedding,then made up said bed.Dusted and polished hoovered back and front room,hallway and hoovered the stair carpet.Now that is it for today.No gardening no walking,just about to go sit in a chair in the garden.It would be a shame not to.

Over here a few/many years ago when the new Firebird came out a local brewery ran a competition to have a lap of the course with Ron riding and the winner on pillion, he wheelied the full length of the straight from Quarterbridge to Braddan roundabout and completed the lap 10 seconds slower than race pace...... the poor girl could not speak when she got off

Can't say I ever liked being pillion!

Back to the water leak, trying to make the bodged job permanent, but as usual, all makes of pipe are different & instead of needing 6 inches & 2 bends, it's now 6 feet, 2x 45 bends, 4x 90 bends, 2x straight connectors & 5 clips

Back from the shops, I understand your frustration @Phaeton, I ended up replacing most of my plumbing in one bathroom, it made sense as I was replacing the suite and fitting a shower, luckily no leaks in ceilings beforehand
