After several years with O2 I have changed mobile phone provider, a recent price increase prompted me to look around. I am now with Lebara, who 'piggy back' on the Vodafone network, and have made a considerable saving. I was paying just over £29 a month, for two SIM only packages, with unlimited ca...

We are in Sirmione on Lake Garda in Italy and it is hot, shade is lovely, but in open sunshine it is hot 🥵 Very nice, we were just looking at Limone sul Garda for a short break. We stayed at The Palme Hotel, in Limone, about 10 years ago and loved it. Travelling around the lake on the ferry, to dif...

Not tea, supper. We went to Hickey's bar last night, middle offspring and Nina Salorian had a gig there. A very enjoyable evening with a very responsive and friendly audience. Back to supper, we went to The Mediterranean on Church Street for chips and ate them on the bus journey home. Simple pleasur...

Nose ring for cattle?

The top is on, still needs a bit of trim on it.

I have bought timber and made a start on the last bit, I even did some in sunshine

High grass pollen today in the north west, I have been taking fexofenadine for my hayfever and it seems to be working. Ceterizine had become less effective. Might even get some bits done on the gazebo between the showers.

Exactly the same as our Kev although the last time I checked just after lunch it showed a slight rise when I gave it a tap. Tomorrow is supposed to be as lightly better day. "Always look on the bright side of life" :extrawink: I will confess mine is an online barometer, it gets data from ...

It's not very nice at all today.

Yarn spinning?

Eyeball testing tomorrow and then I can get booked in for the surgery on the other one. I was hoping to get it done before my holiday but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. I phoned the clinic, to check availability, and no appointments available until early July. I may be in with a chance i...

I had hoped to get the gazebo finished this week, the rain put a stop to that.

Gloria's one made me laugh

Well done Kev..... But how many haven't bothered? Quite a few I would imagine. The state pension doesn't even make minimum working wage requirements, in fact it's about half...

That's some serious model making.

Good advice Kev. I have just had a stressful call with the bank and didn']t understand most of it but the bottom line is they have registered the transaction as fraudulent and are refunding my money.... Thanks for pushing me into doing it. Good news, shame it was stressful. A refund and you've pote...

It wasn't these people, was it?
