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.

I'd struggle to use a lathe safely, I can't stick weld either

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 cal...

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...

You might want to speak to your bank, they'll kick off an investigation and shut them down. There's a very good chance of getting your money back and it'll stop them scamming others.

It wasn't these people, was it?

True story

THIS caught my attention..... 2 hours ago Too many people face a "cliff-edge drop in income" when they retire, with more than three quarters not on course to save enough for a "moderate" lifestyle, a pensions trade body has warned. A new report by Pensions UK suggested what it t...

Another MOT for the Yeti, straight through with no advisories.

It was persisting it down here earlier, looks to have stopped for now though.

For anyone who likes owls, my opposite neighbour has barn owls rearing young in his owl box in the barn. The box and cameras have been ready for years, but this is the first time it has been used. Five eggs have all hatched. This is a link to the live feed on YouTube. https://m.youtube.com/@rogerca...

I have a funeral to go to this afternoon. A good friend and member of our unofficial library group died suddenly from heart failure a couple of weeks ago. It was such a shock, and we haven't quite come to terms with the fact that such a vibrant personality has gone from our lives. Jill Pengelly was...
