Morning.
Dogs are damp. I want to stop in bed

So, pop the bumper didn't go as well as I hoped. I thought temperature and a little pressure from the back would literally pop it back out to its original shape.
Turns out the material is quite thick and also quite plastic (no brainer there),
I almost had to work the whole area out from the edge moving quickly coz it seemed to like it's new form and would revert to that very happily. It's not a great result, there's still a couple of dimples, paint is missin, but it's better than the fist deep dent that was there.
Replacement bumper has been ordered, with any luck it'll be on this time next week

Good Morning Dippypud, how are you today?
Morning All
Too many aches & pains to just lie there in bed so here I am.
Not a bright day, but no rain at present.
Decided to put some effort into an audit trail of who said what when; because it is galling when you get turned over by your kids and your wife would rather believe her children than her partner.
Excuse me for ranting folks, but I am so very very angry and also very disappointed.
I am going to close out this garden project to a suitable stopping point at the end of this week (drain fixed, final fence panel in, and paving down) and then that's it. No more DIY help from me, I am OUT.
Have a great day.

Sounds like a very fair plan. I do hope you get it all sorted out to your satisfaction asap.Morning All

Why do people text me in a morning for help ?
Ask them what’s wrong & they reply,no transport for a horse to an event. Well you must have known last night? All goes quiet...
Say it will cost them £50 to get out of bed & turn a key. All agreed so they pay the Mrs who’s at the yard.
So Just explained to the Mrs that another horse is going to the same event as her & can she take it for the money just payed ?
All fine now I can relax for the day again.
I just have to cook dinner for later in return

The sun is out now and the water is beginning to drain away and dry out the garden - I had a lovely new wildlife pond.
How about this for canine logic?
Yesterday, my big boy spent the afternoon lying out in the pouring rain but when it came to tea-time, he asked to come in - he looked like a 'drowned rat' so I got a towel and spent some time trying to dry off some of the water. The little one who had spent the afternoon indoors but does like to be towel-dried, came to me to ask for his turn. I refused as he wasn't wet. Not to be outdone he turned away and went to the door asking to be let out. I duly obliged warning him that it was raining heavily - he still went. About five minutes later he was back asking to come in. With great patience, I opened the door and in he came sat in front of me and requested to be towel dried!

Shame!
The plot next to us was bought and started on by a couple of lesbos who then split up. So there is a 6000 sq metre plot with the basement part of a house built then it all stopped. Fab views. Prolly going for a song. And obvs with planning although it will have gone over by now. but would be possible to renew it, no prob, it is in a "Zone constructible" so they couldn't stop you. Planning is much more straight forward over there.
And at least you'd have decent neighbours!
Covid is a temporary thing, It'll be fine soon once Frogland gets on top of the vaccination prog like what we have!
600m metres up mind!
That sounds interesting im hoping to pay off our mortgage this year, maybe I should re-morgage
an buy something else. mmmm food for thought.
Who's the good neighbour's btw
