Re the Dyson.
My initial review .
1. You need a degree in unpacking boxes. If there is a problem with it there is no way I can re-pack it.....I have taken photos to help.
2. You need another degree in vacuum cleaner tools. There are at least 6 heads with nothing to say what they are for.
3. It seems well made .
Battery is on charge.......we may have a play tomorrow.

Do you prefer the treddle to electric.
I have asked you before but is it a round spool or shuttle?

I prefer electric. I have 2 machines. One was made in 1936 and is spool the other is 1957 and a shuttle. It's also a hand crank machine.

This is my electric one.

I know I told you but in the 60s/70s MrsDs job as a young girl was giving lessons to customers.

Phone's been going bonkers since I posted my FB advert.
All stuff sold within an hour and now I'm £100 better off.
Better than a run to the tip.

Afternoon all. It’s mrs exlasers day off today . So she decided we should have a big fry up this morning and who am I to argue lol. The back lawn has been cut and we have been for a walk at Sutton stop. Now relaxing with a nice cup of tea.
My dilemma for this evening is , mrs exlaser and our daughter are both going out on rides with Warwickshire ladies cycle so should I ,
1) get out the turbo and do a really hard session as I have been a lazy bas@@rd this week or
2) crack open a beer and play virtual sailing with my friends from the sailing club.
Any advice will be gratefully received 😀😀😀

Even when my Good Lady is happy she can look unhappy, it makes reading some situations interesting.

And the rain has started.

No rain here
Temperature is going up to the 30's for a couple of days.

 

[Dave7]

And the rain has started.

Really.
Pleasant here. Cool but pleasant. Supposed to get hot hot hot tomorrow and Friday.
I am sat outside on the patio debating putting a fleece on.
Will shortly put the goggle box on. We enjoy those "new homes in the sun" progs as it takes you to various locations and the buyers are normal with normal amounts to spend. We tend to record a couple, watch the chase then the news then the recorded progs.
By then.....20.00ish I fall asleep. Never used to but this bl**dy virus has knocked the stuffing out of us.
