Time for a new garage

I'm afraid I've fixed it. Popped to B&Q earlier, and left with a small reel of wire and some cable clamps. Straight forward job as the side that went 'wonky' is not the sprung side, so it was a case of just ensuring the cable was taught, as the other side takes up any slack.

Didn't want to risk leaving it, as we've drinks in there, and if someone went in, the garage door would fall off, worse still could knock something to fall on my newly painted bike.

No N+1 garage

I'm quite discustard at all this trifle shaming... 😔

I hope you get your just desserts!!

It’s just General Custard, do you surrender yet?

 

[fossyant]

Can't be bothered to cook after the running about, and I'm cooking for 9 tomorrow, so ordered pizza delivery - much to the delight of my two adult 'kids'.

I will be cooking roast chicken and roast tatoes this evening.

Steak and chips tomorrow tea time, with Christmas pudding to follow.

Another 23 minutes of Christmas shopping time left this year.

I hope everyone has secured enough food in stock for about two months as the supermarket will be closed for a whole day!

I've got jellies to make tonight, I also need to find the festive table cloth and clear the table.

Home made Burgers and sweet potato chips for us tonight.

One of the wall lights stopped illuminating so I changed the light bulb. It works now.

I can't pretend that gift wrapping is numbered amongst my strengths.

I've just blamed the Sellotape.

Nice evening stroll around the block completed.
Now what rubbish can we find on the goggle box whilst we record Dark Material

You've just ruined my annual attempt at optimism.

I hope you're satisfied.

Seven Boxing Days in a toyshop showed just what some would do to get their money back. Even if it wasn't bought from us.

I've made the custard for the trifle, with the help of Mr & Mr Bird, and pressed clingfilm over the surface to stop it skinning up.
When it's cooled a bit ill pour it over the jelly (jello, for our international mundaners).
Whipped cream topping will be lovingly dolloped onto the top in the morning.. 👍


Edit: NB: there will be NO soggy cake in my trifle!! 🤮

What no sponge in the bottom soaked In sherry.You can’t have a trifle without a dash of sherry

I delivered a few Christmas cakes my mum had baked for people. In previous years I had brought my ex-post office Pashley into service for this but my chest is still gunged up so forced to drive. This also meant I couldn't accept any complimentary beers or sherries

I discovered the petrol pumps at my local filling station play the Slade Christmas song while I refill the tank.
