Thursday should be fun. rain, sleet & snow expected between the morning & evening commutes. typically bossman doesn't let us leave until it's unsafe to drive

My garden broom is knackered.. It needs a new head & a new handle, too..

how will you recycle the old one?

 

[rockyroller]

I'm trying to match the furniture which was damaged in the flood at my father's house with replacements, as requested by his loss adjuster.

Some are OK-ish to match, others nigh-on impossible given some are antiques / bespoke.

A suggested valuation for the jazz record collection appears to have been acceptable. At least I don't have to match hundreds of rare records with sold prices, if they are actually available.

are the actual vinyl records destroyed or just the cardboard covers? understanding that sometimes it doesn't matter if everything is gross. we had a sewer flood out Dad's basement office & a lot had to be discarded

The head will go in the bin and the handle will do as a plant support 👍

Just the cardboard covers - so the suggestion is to cover the loss of value rather than destroy the records. That compromise seemed to have helped him cope with the stress of them being deemed to be 'written off'.

You can buy plain white cardboard covers and inner sleeves to replace the water damaged ones

Happy 75th @postman

Antibiotics doing the trick it seems as toothache has gone.
Ernie paid out £100 - where's the rest of the 0s?
Just had to pump one car tyre up, thinking expense looming as it probably has a slow.

@raleighnut - I did explain that to an upset elderly parent. But then received a lengthy discourse about why the cover of an LP by an obscure 1960's jazz artist was so central to the music that I chose not to suggest that for the next LP he showed me. And the next. And the one after.

It's been a mild and breezy day here chez Casa Reynard, starting off grey, with sunny bits in the middle, and is currently drizzling.

Did not sleep well as brain wouldn't switch off. And then a certain madam kept biting my nose. I had intended on making a fresh cauldron of soup, but that's been deferred to tomorrow on account of the incoming wet stuff, the priority being given to bringing in another trailer load of firewood. So the morning was gentler than usual, just a few basic chores.

Lovely luncheon of pate on toast, fruit and a

Then off into the garden to dismantle the dead cherry tree (a good 14 inches at the base) that Eowyn smashed up. The tree itself is almost down, just a couple of dingle dangling branches to pull free from its neighbour, but I ran out of dry weather and fuel for the saw, so that's a job for later in the week. I have a full trailer of fairly decent quality logs.

However, it is highly recommended NOT to drop an eight inch thick branch on one's foot when cutting it free. Owwwww! Thank goodness I always wear sturdy leather shoes when gardening. My foot is rather bruised and numb / sore, but nothing feels broken. I'll just have to keep an eye on things.

Now sat by the fire with a and a slice of poppy seed cake.

Try Triggers Brooms and they’ll fix it up good as new.
