I know how that feels, real sense of accomplishment, did you then strut into the kitchen to show off your achievement or was that just me??

He wouldn't need to pull his trousers up for that. :lol:

Been like that for a number of years now, albeit with socks as my nemesis. My wife used to be a carer and offers to help, but I always say to her, my Mum was the last woman to help me dress and it'll stay like that. Then I struggle, moan and swear, but then victory and then I enjoy the ridiculous sense of achievement putting your own socks on brings! :wtf: :D

So many things I could do! But, due to a hurty knee and just being tired I'm doing stuff that doesn't involve driving or skiing!

Made some pastry this morning - it's in the fridge to be used later
Put a pork hock in the pressure cooker to, well, cook! I thought I'd bought a roasting joint, but I hadn't!! Oh well. Must look harder next time!
Washed up and tidied a bit around the kitchen and now heading out for a coffee at my favourite cafe with a view :angelic-green:

One of the good old apres bands is playing later and a mate is dj-ing in the same village, so I'll head down there later.

Kinda wish I had my own car as my favouritest ever apres band is playing in 3 valleys this week. Just don't want to drive a minibus to somewhere I don't know in case I can't park!! LOL

It's sunny too, so maybe I will go sit in the sun later after I've baked stuff :D :D

Up north we fight in pubs, shift moody gear and shag birds before breakfast, and we drink proper beer.

It's south of Shap and therefore it's London.

Finally given up on my accountant, I think they are deliberately taking the piss as they know I want to close everything down. They have caused late filing fines, stuck obstacles in the way and take ages to reply.
Now I've paid a new accountant to do the final 2 sets of accounts and close it. I'm not even going to tell the old accountant I've sacked them, I'll wait and see how long it takes for them to complain the standing order has stopped.

Winced vigorously at the cost of getting my car serviced (and a coolant leak fixed). Quite a few 'every 3 years' type things needed doing but still it's :shock:

They sent me a video of the underside inspection which showed where the coolant had leaked - I had to top it up twice in the previous year so I wasn't too surprised - then 'click here to authorise the work'. Click. 'Thank you, you will now be redirected'....to the 'Buy a new one' web page. Not exactly the best time to suggest I might like another car of the same make. :lol:

Went out to meet friends at an apres band thingy in a bar I usually avoid!

Well, the band was amazing as ever, friends were awesome and the view, well! That was very special! Friends were very much a bad influence (always handy when your mates ogle the view as much as you do! - and encourage you to go dance with them! Even better that their preferred view wasn't mine :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ) .

When the second best view encouraged me to dance with them and not just at the edge of the area with my mates, and the best view then danced with me! Well - definitely a good apres!! LOL

Sadly all the views were married, but our two groups danced and laughed together for the whole of the band and it made for a very entertaining evening! :lol: :lol:

The views are off home tomorrow, and tomorrow evening I'm out for dinner with my mates, so I am sure the conversation will be entertaining :lol: :lol: :lol:




Downside - damn my knee bloody hurts! It does NOT like dancing :angry-cussingblack: Roll on May and getting the bastard hurty metal out! Then next year I'll be able to dance all night and ski all day :bblonde: :bblonde: :bblonde: :bblonde:

Upgraded my 3/8in drive sockets. The main metric set is an assortment of several brands, but mostly Kamasa I bought in the '70's. The standards are mostly BritTool & some add ons from other companies.
Just splurged on Tekton metric & standard in 6 & 12pt sets 6-24mm & 1/4-1in (no gaps) 64 sockets in all. They will be here some time on Friday.
Old sockets will be retired to the toolbox that I keep my rarely used 1/2in drive sockets & other tools in. (the 1/2in drive sockets I do use are in the main toolbox).
Also retiring some 1/4in drive sockets to the other box as I don't need two complete sets of regular & deep sockets in metric & standard in one box.
