Boarded up shops is just 2022 for ya sadly. Even the big centre here, which is one of the "destination" shopping centres and usually petty immune (not a betting shop or taning salon in sight!), has empty units ATM.

I WENT SKIING!!!! Not just me, my nephew skied too
Of course, we are 1-0 on falls. Yup, I'm the one
. Wasn't even skiing at the time FFS, has stopped at the lift, looked around for him and then fell over
But damn that was fun
He's still out there but I have to do a transfer in a bit, so I quit early
What an awesome day. He's so happy to be here. Just loves the mountains, not just learning to ski.

Happy happy happy faces!

He has now beaten me well and truly on falls - I suspect because I wasn't there he was going faster! LOL But, all's well. He had a little snooze whilst I did a transfer and when I came back he asked - do you think I have time to do another couple of laps before we go for dinner. Sadly, not only were the lifts closed, but it was dark!

He's gonna bloody love ski school (I hope) - can't wait to see him afterwards and find out where they have skied

Re: What have you done today thread?
Today I have been mainly shovelling shit 
Missus volunteers at an animal sanctuary so I had the bright idea of getting a load of manure for her veggie garden. I instantly got volunteered for the job

Filled 6 huge builder's buckets while she was pottering about and she was reet chuffed.
It was down a muddy path so couldn't take the GSXR so went on the GasGas.
It was a few miles on NSL roads so decided to take a short cut down a fun path. Only after a big jump did I remember I was only wearing t-shirt, shorts and sandals. Didn't want to crash on this terrain.
I came home a gentler way
When she gets home she might take me out for a treat

Discovered my chest waders aren't entirely leak proof.
Drove home wearing a hoody, underpants and work boots, hoping I didn't get stopped, the car didn't break down or get called out.

They came back with 5 parrot fish and kindly gave Penny one.
Just had it for tea. Very nice

I did that today as well. First time in two weeks it's been sunny enough to run the washing machine without taking any charge out of the solar batteries.

I'm at the age where I could appreciate having the washer/dryer on those raised doodads as bending down & reaching onto the damn things to unload them isn't much fun.

Re: What have you done today thread?
A horrible task. I don't think I've washed our car in years,in fact I don't recall the last time I had the Poles do it...maybe last Winter.

Hope to try them out sometime in the next 4 months.

Re: What have you done today thread?
I've not done it for years, there's so many cheap carwashes and jetwashes round here I just CBA to get the bucket and sponge out. I can be there done and back in 15.
Apparently there's a french law banning you washing the car in the street but, like most of these parochial legal idiosyncrasies, nobody dobbed me in, no tear gas was deployed etc.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Today I have been time traveling back to the mid 80s.
Or more accurately, I borrowed the step sons Dacia Sandero.
As my dear old mum used to say, a second class ride is better than a first class walk.
In the cab area alone I have found at least 14 different plastic textures/finishes. The rear windows are windy windows, the mirrors are stalk adjusted and AFAIK, the boot is key only!
Every time you hit a hill, down 2!
Would have preferred a delorean
