RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted August 28, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 28, 2021 Took a trip to the Mumbles today. A walk along the prom and the pier and a very large whippy ice cream was consumed. Part of the trip was along the road built over the top of the old LNWR trackbed from Swansea Victoria. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM42 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Tomorrow I have been told we are cycling somewhere nice. It was my job to find somewhere nice and sort out how we are getting there. The bikes have been dug out of the garage. They have been loaded into the car ( bike racks are for wimps) and we are heading to Ashbourne for the Tissington Trail. I'm sort of hoping to be rained off As part of getting the bikes out, I have been tidying the garage, which was going fine till Mrs SM42 came home and kept asking me to do other things. I have now thrown it all back in the garage and I sit awaiting orders which now seem to have dried up. Better news is that beer is back in stock.

AndyID Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 5 minutes ago, jamie92208 said: Have they misplaced a decimal point in the listing Jamie Good question but alas, no. After many years of almost no increases prices have gone completely bonkers here recently. We refinanced the loan on our house about 15 years ago and it was appraised for less than we paid for it . It's now at five times what we paid for it. When we came here in '95 most of the vehicles were old beaten-up pickup trucks or crappy cars that would not have passed a MOT in a million years. Now it seems every other vehicle is either a Tesla, MB, Porsche or Ferrari. We actually received a tax refund from the state for last year because the tax revenue is ridiculous. 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM42 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I've always fancied a float plane lift at SM42 Towers. Problem is there's nowhere to land, unless of course you drop in like HH Even then it would be a bit tight. Andy 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyID Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Yipee! Fixed MrsID's flipping (it actually does flip) Chromebook. Its battery wouldn't charge and as the cable was a bit dodgy I bought a new one, which didn't make the slightest bit of difference Shelled out for a new battery next and that has fixed it. 9 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florence Locomotive Works Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Evening all, Today the after work the Works were voluntarily vacuumed (yes you haven’t had to much Penderhyn, or however it’s spelled) and the general disposition of the floor has much improved. Not a single 3 BA bolt was found but several nuts were! Here’s a photo, the box of general rubbish containing among other things a unfinished model of HMS Victory is mostly out of sight. This evening peach (or mixed berry, spending on your source) cobbler is to be consumed after dinner, the first this year. Photos will be posted after which I shall go and await the arrival of the thundering Pachyderm with my Bofors. Douglas 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
