I fear I’ve been swindled!! :eek:

A ne’er do well of some sort has robbed me blind :(

Was busy fingering me small change when I decided to empty me pockets. And I found this foreign junk in them:mad:

View attachment 238879 Supposed to be a 10p from a place called Chicken Rock:confused:

SWMBO chucks her loose change in a machine at the soopermarkit and it swaps it for notes or something (I don't go in them meself so don't know the machine). It spat a load of canadian and USA coins back at her, all looked like 5 and 10p pieces to the casual observer. She couldn't figure out where they came from and to be in her pocket. Son in law did a tour of Canada and USA with the red arrows in 2019 then we went on holiday together when he came back. Go figure -----
 
...that the builderers among you might enjoy seeing how "professionals" install french doors at an angle.

First picture is the side where WE installed the re-purposed window (vertically, and basically very well aligned with the timber column) covered here with a wooden capping internally.

And here is the “other-side” where I am fighting to cover it because the French doors are on the pi$$ and leaning outwards at the top (as installed by "Four Seasons Conservatory Specialists").
Look at the difference in the gap at the top and at the bottom! :eek: Shocking.
Some creative carpentry is required here. But I am getting there. :)

Fer gettid ter tell yer eye put a screw through me gas pipe when finishing screwing down me floor boards last nite. Din't realise at the time. Then eye smells gas and take oat the screws to look under the floor board and the pipe snapped when eye puts me finger over the ole. Run down stairs to me gas meter under the stairs and the handles missing. Couldn't turn the fing by hand. Me pliers int big enuff ter get round it and grip it. Can't find me mole grips. Then eye remembers eye gottid a pipe fing that's big enuff. Can't find it int me tool box. Not even at the bottom after tipping it oat. Fings are starting ter get silly now. Tool box 2 int gorrit neever. Then eye remembers its under the sink. Goes int kitchen and opens me sink cupboard door. Oat jumps me pipe fing and it hops across the kitchen then up the stairs. Am following it but can't keep up. Gets up stairs and its no where to be seen.
