Had our first meal inside the house for weeks yesterday :(

Yesterday was the first day I've not been to work on one or other of the motorbikes for 5 weeks. Instead took the car, which I hadn't even sat in for 3 weeks.

I used to lose my keys a lot as well.

Worth noting that what I mentioned isn’t a charger (except for phones, it doubles as a very bulky phone charger), it is specifically for jumpstarting a flat battery without trickle charging. No plug required, so you can use it half way down the M6 if for some reason you somehow got a flat battery there...

He means something like this.

Noco is the best you can get by the way, well worth spending the extra on. Just charge it at home (any usb socket). Then chuck it in your glovebox and forget it until you need it. Has saved me on numerous occasion.

Thanks :up: Just ordered the Noco GB20 500A from Amazon (same price as Halfords, but I've got free delivery and coming tomorrow ) :D

Getting too used to this ordering online , never ordered anything for home delivery before this corona virus pandemic. Getting to know the delivery people well these past 10 + weeks !

Got 2 more Tesco click & collects in the pipeline, so with Green Flag saying they won't return within the month after that first call out , might be thankful of the jumpstarter if it decides to die on me again as I'm about to set off!

The council informed us (at work) today, that all Council car parking charges will resume as of Monday 15th June.

Some eejit has been uncovering the machines already, people have bought tickets today....


... If you buy one, you will not get your money back in Sainsbury's as they are not handling cash. Contact the council if you have bought one un-nessacarily.

No keys, opens with phone.

Which one do you have? I’ve been struggling to find one that fits a uPVC door - only one seems to be the Yale Connexis but having to get my phone out and tilt it to unlock the door seems a bit pointless... and, y’know, the whole lacking a key backup thing.

For the car, not the house.

With the current cooler weather, the shed door has been shut for the last few days.

This has precluded the Head of Household of my "lodgers" from entering to alert me when the Buffet Table supplies are running low.

Despite consuming half a sack of Argentinian peanuts, he's still not heavy enough to operate the door handle.

So, he has taken to sitting on the ridge of the greenhouse, to gain my attention.

Should I not respond quickly enough, he is now tapping on the window.

And he still peruses my offerings with the air of someone who maintains a faint hope that I might be able to improve at some point...

I think you should think about inventing a button that he can land on, that maybe could play this sound...



Or maybe one of these...

My next door neighbours are decorating their living room.

I can hear everything through the paper walls...

It would make for a great drinking game:

'Arrggghhh' = 1 shot
Swear words = 2 shots
Angry banging = 3 shots
Dog barking = 3 shots
Screaming at dog to stop barking = 4 shots

I'd be on the floor by tea time!

Had the best end to a lovely weekend off work, a socially distant dog walk over Stafford Common with my eldest son, his girlfriend and my 2yr old grandson - after 12 whole weeks of not seeing them it was absolutely fantastic.

The only sad part was saying goodbye as they usually stop for tea on a Sunday evening, poor little one must of been very confused as to why he couldn't come into Nanny's house.

Great day though, dog slobber & all. :D
