Phone didn't come with a user manual, other than a brief "get started" guide.

So off go I to hunt one down online.

There isn't one. That's because it's installed on the phone.

At least I've finally managed to get rid of the gesture navigation and go back to the standard three buttons.

Thats the first thing I get rid of when I get a new phone.

It's the weekend

Just the same as the week day, I'm retired it doesn't matter.

Cats have been fed (Felix AGAIL with salmon & green beans) and soon it will be time to feed me. It's a poppity ping night here - the advantage of batch cooking.

the RH bumper button on my Xbox controller doesn't work... no biggie really, but i just bought a new game (SnowRunner) and was really looking forward to playing it, but first i need to release the handbrake, which is on the RH bumper button

Does anyone know where i put my contact cleaner?

Lovely supper of tomato & basil soup, curry, rice and steamed greens, and half a mango for afters.

No more wallpaper to strip.

But. I found the floor in the corner of the room is dipping down. It's not saggy or bouncy but just goes down hill. So now my task is to decide if I can be bothered to rectify it. The floor boards I got up this morning and found no rot. Just shoddy repair work from decades ago.
The mundaneness continues.

How can you live in a place for 30 odd years and not notice that the floor is not level??

My bedroom has a 1" diagonal slope across its width where one part of it is above the back porch and level with the rest of the house, while the other lower part is above the built in shed. Late 50s/early 60s ex council house so they weren't going to spend too much getting everything level.

Take your pick most nationally have plenty, intentionally the amounts some have are criminal.

Numbers?

Is it a bit wet in your parish?

No, my parish is frozen, but the snow has gone.

 

[Hebe]

It's all a bit busy here.

It's Saturday morning and it's time for a ride

I think I’ll just have a walk/jog. I’m running out of roads or paths to go that aren’t muddy or waterlogged.

Morning.
Just thinking about making another .
Watching The Repair Shop the other day reinvigorated an interest in a model boat that I have . It is one which I had bought at an auction some years ago. It was a plastic kit of a Corvette that had been part started . Anyway I thought I would dig it out of our loft and have a tinker . Figuring out how to put an electric motor in and RC gear was a bit scratchy heady at the time so I thought I would start off by painting some numbers on it . K36, it is supposed to be Clematis, pretty in blue and white . I had a small picture of the side view of the ship to get an idea of the style of letters and numbers . I didn't know that the letter K was an awkward shape before , it's not like the one here . Well I managed to make a representation of it and then started on the 3 and 6. Once that was done I could transfer it ont the boat and paint it on . Just to be awkward it sits astride part of the camouflage so part of it has to be white and the other half blue .
There are some stunning models out there . Mine won't be one of them !

I saw that one. It was quite impressive. I didn't realise they could go so fast!
