Watched a "video" on You Tube, of how to replace gear cable; "use a thin rubber hose....." Acquired one, said thin rubber hose, followed the guidance. DIdn't work! Why? They didn't mention that if you have an 8 month old cat in the house the very sight of a wriggly squirmy thing would be irresistible! I'm pulling the cable one way, Pink is pulling the tube back out as fast as she can wrap it around herself.
I've made bread. Might have another go at the bike later

I agree. I took some stuff out to the recycling bin and had to give the top a sharp thwack with a trowel to crack the ice sealed lid!

I knew that going into that car showroom would be expensive!

I can never move to the UK. I'm not young enough to assimilate the regional colloquialisms

I had to tighten up the knob on my larder door as it was getting a bit loose.

By sheer coincidence, I tidied up the broom cupboard yesterday.

I didn't take any pictures because the test drive car was grey and mine will be whitish. So I guess it didn't happen

How does the vaccine know it's been out of the freezer 4 times?

Can it see the light going on and off ?

I did some painting on the hull of my model corvette this afternoon . I first painted some white primer and then I had fun masking out sections to make the dazzle camouflage. It was certainly confusing trying to figure out where each section went . I decided to go for a pretty colour scheme of blue and white.
