Nite peeps sleep well!
An eventful three days.
My computer mouse fell apart, I stumbled into the door waste bin when getting out of the caravan and snapped the plastic ring that retains the liner in position and finally my printer went into meltdown and threw up total gibberish! I tried re-aligning heads, cleaning nozzles etc and then pensioned it off and bought a new one.

Not looking forward to the M25 this afternoon in the rain.
...that I did not know that the rear cover of my Samsung S8+ was a plastic shell covered in an ultra thin glass layer.
If I had known this before attempting to remove it fully (it was split away from the main frame of the phone due to the swollen battery inside the phone) I might have been a little gentler and maybe (just maybe) my cow's tit$ fingers would have been gentler in their approach. A million tiny shards of glass later the back was off the phone.
The fingerprint sensor, torch lens and camera lens cover-glass window were absolute ba$tards to prize off the now crumbling glass-paper/plastic of the rear cover.
The old battery out/new battery in was not too difficult (15 screws out/in and a few Anglo-Saxon words of encouragement).
Cow's-tit-fingers notwithstanding the SIM/SD card carrier somehow got broken and jammed in its slide-carrier and had to be coaxed out of the guts of the phone.
Once superglued back together it was re-inserted and thankfully was recognised by the phone. It works! Bluetooth earbuds all working, front video camera all working, wireless charging working.
Cost of new phone (if I could not repair this one) £349...... Dodged that one.
Cost of new battery £20. .... Mixed reviews, some say its great a few say they thought the battery was crap.
Cost of new rear cover (on its way) £20. .....no idea yet, most of the reviews are positive.

Think outside, no box required.
Been pouring it down for the majority of today, horrible..
2c luckily the heater in both the Van and P38 work
Just arrived home from an eventful trip, the roads are full of big puddles and fords you have to go through..
Had some fun in the P38 right until an arse in a Merc CLS decided to overtake when I was slowing to go through a ford before I could beep or warn him, BOOOSH!
He hits this at around 50mph and nearly empties the bloody thing, his car of course cuts out, and I float by...
My Ribs ache though, I haven't laughed like I did then in a long time, actually had to pull over!
Ahh..
