Been to buy a Blind 20 miles away.....SWMBO,d says..."Oh...I thought it was 91.5 INCHES, not C.M."

Grrrr.
Onto Malmsbury 50 miles now to look at curtains. Lovely curtains, newly made. She came away with about 60 odd metres of velvet, wool and silk, as well as the curtains.About £80.
On the way past the M32 turn (past,not approaching!) she says...I have to go to Ikea....so big diversion to the Swedish place where she spends £90 on curtain rails.
I thought we were short of cash......

The ironing.

I should add that I only iron my own clothes. The wife doesn't like me doing her stuff because I'm apparently piss poor at ironing.

Last time I had anything ironed was a shirt for my mum's funeral, 15 years ago.

[Skub]

I'm the ironing bitch in our house and I'll fight dirty to defend my right,motherfuckers.

[Count Steer]

I can iron but, when I was doing my own shirts for work it took me an evening to do five. It took my missus 2-3 minutes a shirt, at most. In the end I did a deal, you iron, I'll cook.

(I improved once I realised that the shirt is moving constantly, as is the iron and you're trying to iron out the wrinkles in a very curved shape, not flatten it )

One of my mates was 60 last week so we organised a surprise meet up for him on the beach at Crosby where all those Gormley sculptures face out to sea.It was windy as & my eyes & ears felt like they'd been blasted with mersey grit.We all had a very enjoyable if somewhat windswept time of it

Whenever there's a bit of a blowy day I tune into BigjetsTV on youtube

Back in 1999 or 2000 I was working in Paris and was on the last plane that landed at Heathrow that night. Blowing a gale and the pilot put it down HARD. So hard she ( it was a female pilot) apologised and shared the information that it had been so hard the plane was grounded until it had been thoroughly checked.

Another landing at Edinburgh had us floating just above the ground for ages, followed by full emergency breaking and reverse thrust all the way to a full stop, with about 30 feet of runway left.

When I was a kid we flew (attempted to fly!) to Jersey on a BA 737. We had two maybe three attempts at putting it down before the pilot sacked it off as too windy. We had to go back and get a bigger 757

Well thanx everyone. I’m now seriously reconsidering my travel plans for March

I sodding well hate flying! Take off is not great. Landing is terrifying. I’m ok at the actual flying bit unless it’s bumpy, then I’m very not ok

Bloody mad wind here. I've had to drag the weighty cast iron bench in front of the 'up and over' garage door to stop it blowing open. Big sou-westerly gusts. Really mild though,into double figures which is a bit of a shock from the freezing temps of recent days.

My wheelie bin moved a good two foot. Itys bin day in the morning and the street is going to look a right shit house as at least 50% of the street have them out. Blowing a hooley

I'm loving the fact I'm not having to put the fire on. Not that I care about the fuel etc, just not keen on being freezing

I was out the back with the dog about half an hour ago and its not cold up here either. Northern Ireland must be taking the brunt of that and blowing its heat over to Scotland. Bonus.

Guernseys worse. Four aeroplanes, one leaks and another one that passengers have to hold shut.

This happened to my camera mount today... after I'd just ridden 99 miles & was about to depart on the ride home. I just barely touched it to turn it on & it came away in my hand.



Camera case will be getting a safety wire lanyard doodad that will attach to a bracket that mounts to one of the screen screws. Case will be getting safety wire holes drilled in it.

So I guess I had a better day than this bloke..



There was a 4th cop car hidden by traffic...

Oops.I keep finding bits of aerials (TV and directional radio) by the kitchen door after any breezy weather. Thanks to next doors rather bendy silver birch planted right in the boundary.

Fortunately the dish is in a more sheltered spot.

(Oh yeah, the wind...neighbours recycle bins blew over, the night was a symphony of rolling cans, interrupted by a v long automated message on the house phone from UK Power Networks at 2am to tell me a power cut had been reported for this postcode. By which time the power was back on. Oven clock was flashing so power had been off at some point. Switched my mobile on this morning...2 SMS messages telling me the same thing).
