Crafty blighters have sited it so that one needs to pass through to get to the Cafe and toilets .

It doesn't stop there. LT Museum had Christmas stuff in their shop, and Card Factory is full of stuff.
Wifey did buy the Lego and Playmobil sets for the grandchildren the other day, as last year was fraught with getting the requested bits, and that was without the shipping, driver and fuel woes of this year....

Big Mistake... Just bought and had fitted a new 6x4 garden shed to replace old one attacked by Rats from next door's chicken run.
40 years stock of bits that "might come in useful" taken to the tip. Much anguish in the choice of what must go overseen by SWMBO.

Property next door was rented, chickens and vegie tenants now gone, so new shed worthwhile. Rats dealt with by council for a very modest outlay, although we live very close to a farm, so wild live stock a constant hazard. Currently badgers wandering through the garden at night, we can hear their claws drumming on the path slabs, there's a sett at the far edge of the field behind our property. must be getting used to the sights and smells after 45 years here.

It;s an on-going Phishing scam. We've been getting them for a few weeks.
There's a bit in the Guardian:

yesterday's Times "quick Cryptic crossword" clue:- "trying to prevent train sets being laid out wrongly".. Answer :- "Resistant"....Sounds like SWMBO???

Is Rmweb running slowly today? taking about 3 mins to log in then half a minute or more just to navigate from one page to the next.. Other sites visited by me and SWMBO do not seem to be affected.

Microwave "died" in a spectacular electrical display of sparks. How did we manage before these bits of kitchen-ware? It's "Black Friday" but can't find anyone selling them at discounted prices! Typical of my luck.

Email tells me I've won 2 million Euros in The "Euro Raffle Promotion" - all I need to do is send a heap of personal details, - Sure - must think I'm not awake!

Cream crackered! Just back from short (5mile) bike ride, first since being knocked off in January. I swear that someone has made the hills steeper while I've been laid up!

DapolDave is happy about success in "model of the Year" voting, but where do we mere mortals see the results?

An evocative blast from the past... "American Pie lyrics (almost) explained. Spent a large portion of my youth wondering about this! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-32196117

Had 3 trellis panels blown down in the gales, posts rotted at soil level. Spent the day removing the old stumps which some fool had concreted in... oh, wait, that was me!!

Just had a "timed out" from rmweb. Error 522

I've also encountered that sort of stuff - my workround involves a familiar "cut & paste" sequence:
- <ctrl> <a>
- <ctrl> <c>
- try to post the message - and, if all else fails
- login (again!) - go to the "post reply" section of the thread and hit <ctrl> <v>.
Unfortunately, although this works on a Windows PC, I don't know of an equivalent version for Android.
Of course, I would prefer it if the site didn't auto-logout - and if none of this routine were actually needed. Until (unless?) that happens, I guess I'm stuck with the "finger dance" ... .
Huw.

SWMBO has fractured a Metatarsal ( and NO! she does not play football!), so I'm promoted from chief cook and bottle washer to extra duties as chauffeur and go-fur. Any hope of modelling postponed.
