Good morning.
Dark, grey and miserable here with the promise of rain, heavy rain
It`s funny how we can say good morning and then go straight into the weather forecast which is, this time of year, anything but good!
On the bright side I am on my second cup of tea and it`s as good as the first

I needn't have worried as it went a lot easier than I expected
First cuppa is going down well
Seagulls screeching well outside

So tinfoil really IS the perfect wrapping

Against Taser's ?

 

[Illaveago]

I think a bearing is going on my washing machine

Is it German ?

I have a nice and a miniature bar of green & Black 70% choccy.

While my tea was steeping, I unpacked the silver propelling pencil I bought off the 'bay. Am well chuffed, it looks fabby and feels comfortable when writing with it. It's absolutely perfect for my friend's birthday.

So glad I asked the seller if he'd take an offer rather than let the auction run. It never hurts to ask, and the worst he could've said was no.

Only downside is that the instruction sheet is missing from the box, but I'm sure I can find a downloadable version lurking on the 'net somewhere.

What instructions do you need ? Put pointy end on paper !

Saw a break in the rain and decided to risk my morning ride. Managed to complete it dry, got home just in time for once.

My phone is demanding to be recharged.

Err... well, b*gger. A trip out tomorrow night to buy some.

Thanks @mybike for the reminder otherwise it'd come to Wednesday when I need to wrap them and I'd have been scratching my head.

I usually scrounge off the wife.

I could be wrong, I usually am, but isn't the test for recyclable wrapping paper whether it's rippable, or not?

My grandchildren can rip any wrapping paper.

It's painful, since I was taught to unwrap carefully so it can be used again. (tho it never is)

happy Tuesday? we'll see

I'm having a day with the fairies. I think I may miss the men's shed .

Many, many years ago, I wrapped a Christmas present for my cousin with paper left over from the previous Christmas (which my Mum always kept and stored) and when I was finished, I spotted some writing and realised that the paper I had used was the paper that my cousin had used on my present the previous year

Excitement for the week over now. Been for my bloods and B12 injection. This is the kind of thing which lightens my life now.
A bright sunny day with a brisk wind which is the only sun I have seen for weeks and back to rain again tomorrow for the forseeable future. Cannot take advantage to get out on the trike as the sun is low and the roads polluted with rally wonks who will just keep on going unless they see another car so too dangerous.
At least I don't have to fight the self important rally marshals now to get to my workshop.
I used to keep a boat beside the workshop sitting the trailer on wood blocks. They stole the blocks two years running and on the following year when I left the wheels on instead they pissed through my letterbox. This happened for a further two years until I boarded up the letterbox.
Is it a surprise that I dislike them.
