The second beer is named Toffee ale and it's also by Harpers,an Aldi beer.It does smell like and taste like toffee,but it's not dark enough and it's not to my liking.So crossing that one off.

Sorry to say that I was able to change the power switch for the shower without setting light to anything, breaking it or electrocuting myself so you'll have to put up with my drivel for a bit longer.

A belated Happy Birthday for what would now be yesterday @cookiemonster

 

[tyred]

Sitting listening to the boy racers doing burnouts and generally being picks outside. Again. Who said petrol was too expensive?

I used to enjoy cycling on clear winter nights but it's got to the stage I'm scared to.

 

[classic33]

how did your blind date go.

It were curtains for the three of them.

I've replaced the backup 9v battery in one of the three mains-powered smoke detectors in the house. It's still going 'beep'.

My guess, given they were changed when I bought the house back in 2004, is that it's probably time for new ones

Have you taken a vacuum cleaner to them?

That'd mean his today would be tomorrow and our today, his yesterday.

That'd mean his today would be tomorrow and our today, his yesterday.

Don't forget he's in Hong Kong so it's already tomorrow which means that it was his birthday yesterday which is currently today for us.

GOOD MORNING

(sorry @cookiemonster )

Early start for me as I'm off to Brands Hatch for my last meeting of the year.

If I buy something from the UK mainland I can sort of bend the rules and have things sent to somewhere in Northern Ireland as I am close to the border. It is what I usually do as postage is cheaper within the UK but occasionally if someone offers a reasonable postage fee to ROI, I will have it sent home,which is what I did with the book. The idea of customs fees hadn't occurred to me until a letter turned up. I won't be bitten again.

If I want bike parts or car parts, it is now often cheaper to order them from Poland or Germany than from the UK.

I used to do the same with “ mainland delivery only”. Things got delivered to Kilchoan and the ferry skipper picked them up and brought them over for nothing. Would have been cheaper for them to send them direct but they had no idea of Scottish geography. There are a few other daft delivery instructions and we sometimes got mail in airmail envelopes.

Not looked outside yet but need to go and pack the car again for another attempt to get home.
