The Russians have got through the defences?

You won't get rid of London that easily. It's as stubborn as Yorkshire.

Bit like my brother in law and brother. 'Oh my garden's starting to look nice, John's been three times to tidy it up'. They don't do gardening. Even having the lawn's treated. 3 years supply of iron sulphate is about £6, and you just sprinkle it in with a watering can !

That's what I want to do with my son at present. Promised to clear the garage, no chance. Both bikes are over an assault course of engine parts with my garden mulcher and the jet wash piled in the middle of the garage floor. MrsF is currently sorting out a permanent work space in the corner of the lounge, and needed the sander, that's apparently lent to son's friend as "we've not used it recently", along with my garden fork and spade. FFS. I'm considering taking the laptop and a screen and going back to work from the caravan until he fixes his car - at least there are two bikes I can get to there. He's even spilt oil on my back lawn (god knows why car parts were in the back garden) - and I'm worried it's going to kill off a large patch of grass (we've already got dead patches on the side garden where he's put oily or hot stuff), so I've been swilling it with water every day to disperse it.

As you can tell, my stress levels are about to hit the roof. The final straw will be if he drops something on my Ribble - I've told him go no-where near it (refurbed it a few months back). Oh and everywhere stinks of oil. He needs to go get some sand to soak it up.

It's been a stressful morning; my students are sitting an online exam. Although probably more stressful for them, and Son no. 2 who's got a maths A-level exam.

Firstly my PC's Skype for Business (work Skype) set-up has gone 'pop' and won't work, but I've re-directed that to my mobile phone.

Then the audio file to help a student with additional needs has disappeared, so I've had to re-record the questions.

But ... we're getting there. The 180-ish students are doing the exam, with technical hitches for a couple of them, and will mostly get there. Two hours to go before the last one with additional time finishes ...

Help!

I'm taking a break!

I've been severely traumatized by magnolia paint !

It covers well! There's plenty left in the roller and paint tray. The wall looks like it's hardly been touched .

I have replaced the batteries in my iPhone 7 and my daughter's iPhone 5. The 7 took about an hour (mostly struggling to lift the screen from the body) and my daughter's 5 minutes.

Both phones now on charge.
