Went to see the Landy mad neighbour this p.m. Found myself leaving at about 7 p.m. The guy talks non-stop but fortunately what he talks about is interesting. He knows a lot about LR products. But we talked about a lot of other stuff as well. He...

Yet more awful storms including big hail in parts of France including the Loire Valley. Price of Pouilly-fumé will be on the rise. https://watchers.news/2025/06/04/intense-hailstorm-loire-france/ :(:(:(:(:(

Just trying to imagine @DanClarke getting a good swatch of all that was visible in the steam room!! Ooh Matron!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Scots [edit] Noun [edit] swatch (plural swatches) glimpse; look Gie us a swatch of yer paper. every day is a skool day!

Water proof though. :)

Nuts arrived today. Tis the size ov a sack ov spuds. Bin filling me garden bin wiv tree thus evening. Not edgar. Rain starting at midnight.

I'll have to tell W to stop wearing hers!! Orrible plassy old thing anyway! Put a batt in it the other day, :rolleyes:

Can I suggest going swimming, its great for non stress exercise (unless you cant swim) 🤣 🤣 Steam room & sauna is great for relaxing plus you get a good swatch. mmm might not be good for your blood pressure. :p

Get Occupation Therapy on-side it's easier as well ...

Maybe we should return to Roman roads and cobbled streets. As the concept of laying decent tarmac to your average Irish travelling community falls on deaf ears.🙄 Theses days instead of some Irish woman turn up with several kids in tow selling...

Yes, but the Roman road has lasted 2,000 years. ;)

Romans had a pothole problem too :p. Loaded car, had some breakfast at a cafe, inspected a Roman road. Nothing new here then:p. J

Paypal just got back to us to say that they can see we are right although W somehow only managed to dispute €1 of one payment, lord knows how! They are now willing to file a dispute/claim thing. We will see.

Didn't the gods of JLR ensure that the mileage went to whichever was the higher of the two (like when you put a put a new binnacle/BeCM in a P38)?

preferably with a lower mileage than yours

£100 smackers for me 😎

Hi TT, thanks for asking mate. It is still complaining now and then (sometimes quite sharply). I think it objects to supporting such a lardy-bastid as me. ;) I am trying to lose the weight but the damage is probably already done, and at 70+ it...

How's that knee Dan?

Mornin Sunny and lovely this morning Joiner from council coming this morning for sixth attempt at hanging my bathroom door properly, hope he brings a new door as the last new door was ruined by an incompetent 'multi skilled' operative :rolleyes...

Fixed that for you.

Sure it wasn't on a train going into a tunnel??!!! 🚂🚂🚂 🤣 🤣 🤣

Is that a breed that gives up easily?

Nowt here either, that's three in a row.. Bums.

Huge shower of rain this morning, at least it wasn't hail. Having great trouble getting my left welly on. This is in a pair that were bought especially for my odd sized feet and it fitted fine all last year. Once on it fits fine. I think my leg...

This year we have heard the noisiest cuckoo ever. We have had quieter ones here before.

..the Doctor rang to discuss my latest blood test. :) Apparently I failed. Lipids too high. Never mind, try again next year.

Morning All. :D Lovely day (ATM) bright and Sunny. :) I have no real plans for today (surprise). Have a great day. :D

Can be a bit mind blowing at times all the strang noises, we have a little owl And it's hoot sounds like ChOOoooooo 😊

I must have missed that (only joking ) 👍

Who puts all this in place though? This is an independent lady that won't hear of "home-help's, cleaners, carers" (all of whom she classes as "strangers") in her home. But currently she is so frail and in such a mess we may get away with it...
