Popped down to my cousin's memorial, dug up up the stone, gave it a damm good scrub and clean up, laid some sand down to lift it slightly higher than the surrounding soil and patted him back in.
Miss him!
Miss him!

Re: What have you done today thread?
Got home from a short break by the sea/estuary side. V pleasant. The hotel made me smile. They have a restaurant (fayn dayning, dontcha know) and a 'bistro' side by side. Looked at the menus, several of the options were the same (and I'm 100% certain that all the food comes out of the same kitchen). eg In one room the calf liver option was £26, in the other £18.50
First night, We're the only ones in the 'bistro' (which was actually a nicer place to sit). 2nd night, half the people that were in the other room were in the comfy side.
(I'm not averse to a bit of deluxe scran but, these days, I'd rather have a good breakfast and proper lunch* instead of eating a lot just before bed-time).

Helped blend the colours for spawn's new house. A mix of trod on Farrow and Ball that spawn bought very cheaply from a diy shed that was closing down, some Little Greene sample pots and some random tubs of magnolia and white I found in a skip.

There's a reason you can find magnolia in skips.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Fixed the headlamp washer jet cover on my merc.
The bit that bridges the two pivot arms had cracked, so it warped when opened and popped off the pivot points.
Gorilla glue didn't hold it very long, so now it's lock wired.

You jest, but spawn has a degree in fine art and matched the last batch to a specific brand colour. For the initial coats on a new house it's all good.

Character can be overrated at times,especially as you get older and your patience correspondingly shorter.

Re: What have you done today thread?
A colleague, years ago, had retired from a scientific engineering job but got bored so got another job running an apprentice training school. Retired from that, got bored, got the job where I knew him.
Also, he was building a scale model steam locomotive, some sort of model boat, restoring an old Honda, and something else.
He mentioned to his wife "I'm thinking of buying ... "
She went ballistic, listing his unfinished projects.
"Ah," he said, "if I finished them then they wouldn't be a hobby!"

Had to take the day off from work to look after the wee man and the wife, they’ve got the sickness and diarrhoea bug. I’d rather be at work tbh.

Part repaired yet another pressure washer. It hummed when switched on so that'll be the start capacitor not doing it's job. It'll get put back together when the new one arrives.
