Give them time, pluck the weeds and give them time. All* good things come to them that waits.
* This is patently untrue but it serves the cause of optimism which is a daily requirement.

My neighbour popped round to ask if I wanted a beer, I declined, I am worn out from hand excavation, digging is something that someone else should do.
He had offered the use of his excavator and when he looked at the patio (its oo-er, a terrasse here) asked how thick the base was that I would have to crawl the machine over, I said I don't know it was laid a long time before I got here.
The torment of doubt and not wanting to look at cracked stone denied me the use of a mighty arm to make light work but my neighbour now thinks I am fairly hardcore and I was always a sucker for basking in the glow of admiration.
The old laborious ways might not be productive but make you feel well hard even when the fatigue and strong aches brought on by unacustomed muscle use tells you that is far from truth.

Eurovision night. It is just as horrendous as in previous years, a triumph in these difficult times

The remarkable thing about Eurovision is that for one night all the peoples of Europe are united in their horror at the awful spectacle of Eurovision.

You'd think they would have voted against that kind of nonsense. But, no, they've got rid of different bits of Europe.

Oooooh, I had fabby hunting in Tesco tonight.

I'm not going to say no to rotisserie chickens at 51p a pop. I also got, amongst other things a side of salmon, a 2kg pork belly joint, a kilo of fresh tuna and a reasonable number of eggs. As well as a goodly quantity of fruit and veg. And a chocolate cake.

I had first dibs at everything as nearly all the other regulars were conspicuous by their absence this evening. I did have to stand on the toes of some Eastern European opportunists, but I wasn't going to let them have the sausage rolls I had my eye on when they brought out the chilled stuff.

Looks like the United Kingdom is heading for another wooden spoon in Eurovision.

You will be subjected to motor racing - it's the Monaco Grand Prix.

Damn! I'll be further north by then. Never mind, catch you on the way back south.

Now T-Mobile & Orange are both the same network. They sold off the towers to another company, who objected when they wanted to do away with two towers in the same location.

The Orange network had the better mast system. Locally the T-Mobile masts were removed, with the three networks relying on the Orange mast network, for a short while. T-Mobile customers being the first to be transferred over to EE, Orange as late as this time last year.

Most masts now have more than one network using them. Mounting their own equipment on the physical mast. O2 are slightly ahead on their 5G masts, which are standalone, and seperate from their 3 & 4G masts.

EE was an "off the shelf" company, previously part of the Carphone Warehouse. Liquidators were in Rochdale, their call centre was down south. Having spoken to the liquidator I managed to finally to get an answer from them I informed the caller that they were in liquidation. News to her, and her colleagues.
