OH is out with his other woman giving her a polish (Victoria the steam traction engine) so I'm on a very guzzlable red and a two month out of date Gu chocolate pud. She may be steamy and oily, but I will be steamed and fat by the time he gets back.

Yes, I'm a fully paid up giffer 😁😁

I bought that album when it came out, from John Menzies, the only record shop in town.

I love them all, I am at Holmesian through and through, including a lot of the modern interpretations and additions. I think I just like watching clever people solve impossible mysteries.

Oops, it's Cheryl Campbell.

It would be good for me to get changed and go out somewhere but after all morning in the garden I'm grubby and sweaty, and The Casebook of Shetlock Holmes is on tv with Jeremy Brett and Vivien Heilbron.

I had the ability to work from home in my job from the mid 1990's, I had a dedicated space, but also one that I could walk away from. It's not a new phenomenon, and in some roles, eg global projects, it's necessary if you want people to do the job at say 4am when Japan comes online.

After a morning of "helping" me in the garden, Elsie has retired to her big bed for a snooze.

Do they make you want to go to a gay bar, gay bar?

I would be very happy to have a bunch of gay friends who looked like this 👍

Friend who was a racing driver spotted his jrt scoffing in the curry stand bin, decided to keep stum, offered to drive the race van home leaving his wife in the back with said jrt. It did not go well. He was never forgiven. Ever.

5 more minutes, I've not finished me brew.

It was a surprise 😮

Exactly

I tried to get round the Aviva problem by going to their site direct rather than via a price comparison site I case that was the problem, quote was £120 more, it's all bonkers.

I bought some new bulbs for my old standard lamp and didn't really clock they were LED so when I screwed the new one in and the bulb bit went all squishy I had quite the moment. After my brain finished wtf-ing, it made sense, but somethings just should not be squishy.

Oooooo, happy birthday 🎂 🥳

Right, job done. House insurer multi policy discount for the win, was 7th on the comparison list but ended up cheaper than the first 3, next 3 binned on grounds of who? Got there in the end. Now to the hoovering, can you all take the excitement 😀

So far, binned out Aviva car insurance as their online option insists there's information missing, won't tell me what it is and having gone round all the inputs 3 times with no omissions, f*** em. Lovely NFU want more than the annual quotes to add car to van policy for 4 months! Such Fun

🤣🤣

Rottweilers were originally bred to be drovers and herders. They've got a high work drive and occasional tendency to be territorial, but are generally big softarses

Dachshunds were bred to fight badgers in confined spaces. You do not fuck with anything bred to fight stuff twice its own size

Got years left in it yet,it won't get wasted.

Long story short, after 20+ years as a company car driver OH engaged with the modern car insurance world. After several I told you so's from me, he's gone to work very grumpy and I will be organising car insurance this morning so I can drive the Jazz tomorrow.

Maybe think of it as fostering her to start her rehabilitation. Elsie was with a foster family for 4 weeks and the change they made in her and the information they gave us made all the difference. They're powerful dogs and protective, our last girl always was xxx
