I have just watched the episode of Fools and Horses when Raquel and the guy sing CWYING...... I had forgotten how funny it was.

Rather damp ride today.. Mizzle & drizzle at best: raining at worst.
Still, the reasons for the ride were fun including Tasty Festive Treats for grandparents at grandson's school then a visit to see daughter & granddaughter.. ☔

Interesting ride back though the cemetery in the dark, especially when a dog with a flashing blue collar came trotting out of a narrow side path 👻

True that’s about the speed I am getting at the moment too . 😀 I was more thinking of the time in the near future when the whole copper wire based phone system is turned off .
I am a bit of a Luddite, so I am never a early adopter tech wise. After all coventry was one of the first places in the country to have fibre optic cables for internet installed . I’ve been putting off upgrading to it for about 15 years 😂😂😀.

Problems arise these days when selling homes as Internet speed is now on sales particulars.

House next door was on the market a few years ago, before the village got fibre all the way to the house via B4RN. A sale was lost as the upload speed was so slow and the potential occupant (research chemist) needed a v.fast speed to upload technical documents whilst WFH-ing.

A few things:

IKEA project now complete. Looks great but crikey it took me ages. Some of the instructions were baffling. Almost certainly a 'never again' project.

My annual MOT results, test carried out yesterday morning at my GP surgery, arrived today. With a huge list of results to wade through I am declared 'very fit'. Good to know.

I have spent some time today planning three hefty Cumbrian mountain hikes for next year. All in the 15-17 mile range with 5-7000' feet of ascent/descent. Not sure how many more years I will be able to do these long days. They knacker me far more than when I was a much younger man.

Can you turn the door seal 180 degrees so that the hole is now at the top?

If you stand on your hands ( or perform a half cartwheel) your hole will be at the top , so it should work the same for the washing machine

Off to my pit fairly soon TTFN..

Might be worth while finding out where the nearest eye casualty dept ( northampton general used to have one a few years back when my daughter was at uni in Northampton , but you had to phone first before going ), or walk in centre is .
