Just came in for a bacon and egg sarnie and a cuppa. I'm 3/4 of the way through sorting my Wife's car's brakes. I put new front discs and pads on the other day but the o/s/f is binding. So as I'm putting new rear pads on, i'm going through all of the calipers and cleaning up the carriers, pins, shims etc.
I need to put new pads & disks on the back of my car but I'm too worried I'll get an unexpected problem and then I don't have a 2nd car to go and get more spares with. I also don't have a completely flat area to park it and it's rear wheen drive so I think off to the garage it is, I hate admitting defeat over something that should be simple.

I'm sat here wondering how you can watch telly in the mornings. I know I'm the odd one out here, but I wouldn't even contemplate putting the telly on during the day as it just seems an anathema to getting shit done.

Edit: Says me, sat wasting time on here.
It's too bright to watch telly here by the pool
Did you bring an English telly with you when you moved over so you could continue watching Eastenders and Corrie? Buy a Spanish telly and it's gonna be all them forrin programs, innt?

I can't bear silence, so always put something on whilst I'm pottering about or doing nothing. The TV is on even when I'm on here and not watching it. I used to put the radio on but if you have it on all day the repeated play lists get tiresome.
When i was recuperating after having my knee replaced, i watched a fair bit of tv as I couldn't really do anything else. I tired of film after film and starting channel hopping and found dmax and its great alternative programs like Barnwood Builders, Maine Cabin Builders etc. Its too late for help now, i'm hooked!
I don't mind that sort of thing, but it's the faked, over-hyped arguments and commercial break cliff-hangers that piss me off. Give me Wheeler Dealers, UK seasons, where Mike Brewers belly wasn't the size of a barrel, for genuine, easy-going entertainment of that ilk.

All recaps and elevator rock music? Yeah, not on my viewing list either. Does me nut in!
Sitting here aching!! But, I'm about to go get a beer Yup, and actual BEER from the fridge!!
I tried a beer with a whiskey flavour the other day so I bought some. I also found a beer (hope it's not lager!) with rum in it So might try that first!
I also got some of the locally brewed beer I like - but he didn't tell me till too late to change my mind that the bottles are 750ml I can't drink all of that, so it'd chilling ready to go meet some friends tomorrow and share it!! LOL

I sup this when in France. Beer with Tequila
Most of my friends drink that one. I'm not sure (but then I'm not that keen on tequila!!)
I'm trying this one tonight - it's bloody nice!!!

I've always like Porters and some the new malty stouts that are quite the thing at the moment are bloody lovely. This was beguiling and very, very moreish:

Ooooo - one of the chalet companies up here is getting rid of a load of Brew Dog beer (short date and no customers!). Don't think they have that one though

Watching the markets today. Bought 2k of XRP crypto yesterday, currently a tad under 3.3k and climbing. Once the 2k had reached 3k this morning I bought another 1k at a higher price, that's currently worth 1.1k and climbing. I'll probably sell the first position in a couple of hours so if the second bombs I won't have lost anything.
Passes the time on a rainy day
