Tea? (Part 2)

and just by the feel I could tell they were something special

Should I be jealous?

Glad they work well! That's the thing about Poundland stuff, mostly you get what you pay for, but every so often you find a real gem.

Night Train, Pete would like to know if you have a mag drill in your collection of tools?

A magnetic drill? Unfortunately not, though I would like to get one.

Pete's looking at getting one for a project he is doing.

Morning, thanks Rocky... can't be bothered with Google Translate today, still waiting in for plumber so need another

Pete's looking at getting one for a project he is doing.

I have spent the night intrigued as to what the project is.

Morning all.
I've been up and about since 8am. I have switched my energy suppliers from Eon and British Gas to the Co-Op, with my final meter readings, and updated my electric vehicle build thread.

Going to get on with some more woodwork today.
I will need to try and make a tool to cut keyhole slots.

 

[Night Train]

Oh damn!

I just stumbled in the kitchen and banged my hip against the door knob. Fortunately my hip is fine as my phone took the brunt of the impact! The screen is smashed, though it still works.
I figured I might as well put in an insurance claim, given I have been paying the premiums, and get it replaced. Should be arriving this evening.

This should be just in time to cancel my insurance payments as it is going up from £6 to £7.99 in April, and I am changing my phone service from EE to something else in August.
Just need to download and clear all my data now, and then reset the phone to factory settings, hopefully without erasing my sim card.
Just need to figure out saving my calendar...

Oops!

Given that you didn't like your old phone, is the new one a different type or did you have to go like-for-like?

 

[coffeejo]

Ouch, poor phone.

?

 

[Night Train]

Due to it being 'insurance' I had to go like for like. I was hoping that they no longer had the Arc and would upgrade me a little but no luck. Still, it gives me a sellable phone for when I get a better one.

I am ok though. It was just one of those moments when my head doesn't know where my feet are and I stumble while looking for balance that isn't there.

I have had to loose my calendar but I managed to save everything else and then I reset the phone. I am back with my old faithful Sony W995 Walkman, except there is no music on it and it takes a different memory card. I did find my old ring tone though, the sound of a Cummins 6BT diesel engine starting up! I must remember to copy that to the replacement phone when it arrives.

 

[coffeejo]

Oh, yes please Jo, would be nice

I recognise Denby pottery!

When we got married we started to buy occasional bits from their Seconds factory shop... after 4 plates and 4 bowls they stopped making the colour so we asked them which colour wouldn't be discontinued, after 4 tea plates, 2 mugs and 2 cups they stopped making the colour, so we bought a teapot in a different range with 2 more cups... when they stopped making that colour we stopped buying it. We have an eclectic mix of things [up to 29 years old!] with a few odd plates to make up numbers!

 

[Night Train]

I'm going to find some lunch and then, where was I? Oh yes, heading towards the workshop to do some more woodwork.

It would be whichever ones Archie doesn't want to buy!
