I've just purchased a beautiful pine chest of drawers. It looks great in the pictures. Arriving Saturday when, I'm told, I have to make it myself! Not only that, it's a two man operation. Just bought a new oven too. Let's hope it doesn't arrive in a bag.

Reminders above from years ago about how easy it was to get into cars. I remember ringing the police for advice after locking the keys inside a Ford. The policeman kindly told me how to use a spoon (or practically anything else) to open the door lock. For a while I was the unofficial car opener for folk in a similar fix.

That must have been a bad accident in car number eight.
-
Not of the lowest common type.
-
That's an odd number.

They used to go around in large numbers - stripping an orchard in short order.

All the usual suspects here with the sight of a morbidly obese Blue Tit. It is huge and doesn't move away when the feeders are replenished. No doubt the visiting Sparrowhawk is taking note. Following shoots locally, there are fewer Pheasants and Partridge on the roads but still enough to take out a headlamp cluster of the unwary. Bullfinches about (two pairs).

From what I know of Andy, he will be first in the queue in the event of a communal kicking session. If Debs supplies the information there is a world of hurt awaiting this inadequate.

Can't answer for you, Phil, but, if you can afford the expenses, just tell him what pleasure it gives you to be able to do it.
-
Did you get a name for that little sh!t, Debs? What company? Do you have a contact number for them?
-
Debs's obstacle course can be likened to folk operating like sandpaper. When it's over, Debs will still be smooth but they will be even more useless.
-
Sounds like Debs has encountered some old buffers.
-
What a pain. The only other thing I can think of is husband's Death Certificate (another costly bit of paper). They may need an original of that rather than a copy. Good luck with it all, Debs. I'm sure we are all in your corner.

Cornered a BT person today. He reckons the village should have fibre optic by Christmas. I'm considering opening a book on it. Bah Humbug. When asked why BBBand kept dropping out now he said it was the computer that tested every line in England and sent Engineers out the next day if faults were found. I pointed out that we are in Wales.

Out the energy savers and fit LEDs. (Good to see you, Gordon).

Halfords - under £30. Other providers of injury prone assistance may be available.

We will remember them. I've never seen such awful fabric design. I'm sure it's a wind up.
-
I hope it can be a celebration of what you were able to give each other. Of course, thoughts will be very much with you. Courage mon brave!
-
Totally agree with your thoughts, Debs. Many animals can even recognise one without the benefit of 'seeing' you due to their other more sensitive faculties. Maybe humans had advanced senses too before we ruined them with our lifestyles.

The ambulance in the night is still a mystery. At least the elderly lady is still at home recovering.
-
Awakened to the sound of an ambulance in the village. Not sure who it was for but have an idea. An elderly lady has had a pacemaker fitted two days ago. Let's hope they haven't used a defib-machine on her. Will find out later I suppose.
-
I'm 98% sure you didn't mean that!

It's the insentient types that one has to watch.

My experience of the NHS is that one has to shout loud and long. When SWMBO needed major surgery some time ago, it was only progressed as a direct result of interaction with the Consultant's secretary and ultimately with him. Of course, this means that someone else moves down a place in the queue but when loved ones are involved the gloves have to come off. I remember asking: "If it was your wife, would you be anxious for her to have speedy surgery?" Consultant: "Yes I would" DD: "And are you on good terms with her?"

Being Hallowe'en some friends decided to send the scariest pictures they could find. One joker kindly sent a large bosomed African lady who had dispensed with the need for clothing. Scary enough - especially as SWMBO walked in as I clicked on it.
