What have you done today thread?

[Bigyin]

Went to the gym, painted a shed a complete different colour and replaced the felt on one of the other sheds ....... sat on top of the shed realised how fucking quick shed felt kicks back sunlight as it was clear blue sky and had to put a towel under me to stop my arse burning.

Drove the luxury motorhome to Eyemouth in Scotchland.

It's a bit nippy here compared to tropical Barnsley.

Booked annual leave for xmas (and might book some flights later)
Very nearly called the Boss darling whilst we were in the Co op.

Had a busy few days really. Sunday I moved a load of stuff out of my apartment to enable some friends to help me with a DIY project on Monday (after Yoga!!). I now have half a caravan/yacht style sitting area - loads more room too. Slightly less storage but it's no bad thing to have to get rid of some more stuff!! LOL Oh, a french lesson whilst sat on the floor cause the friend had to go and cut some of the wood at his place!! LOL

Tuesday - trying to put the place back to something organised. Then physio did some serious prodding of tight areas in my neck

Today -
More sorting and some paperwork.

Then off to the valley to lend my sewing machine to some friends - didn't realise they hadn't actually used one, so a quick lesson whilst promising to find the instruction book and recommending that in the meantime, google for it!!

Quick run around the supermarket to get stuff to cook tomorrow
then an hour's physio!!! I mean, 30 mins is bad enough but an hour!! It was so we could do a session on my knee and still work on the shoulder.

Good/bad thing is that most of the knee exercises are floor stuff so use the shoulders I ache all over now!! LOL

Went to a friends to pick up a Cornish Pasty! (She's from Cornwall and makes pasties once a month to sell - normally she does cakes but just once a month she treats us all!!)

Home to find two parcels. Wowzers - I have serious biscuits now, and some homemade ones too!!!!! And also the small airfryer I wanted (the friends in the chalet are buying the big one from me ) to make more space on the worktop - and encourage me to cook less!! LOL



Now about to wrap up with a heat pack on my neck and top of my shoulder and watch some sort of rubbish on TV!! LOL

Tomorrow is more paperwork and sorting, and also some baking and cooking

Today I have opted out of NHS data sharing where they allow undisclosed companies to look at your medical notes.
I have a couple of issues with this
1) The list of organisations they will give it to us vague and the ones they listed aren't exactly known for being scrupulous.
2) They say the data is anonymised but as their process can be reversed that doesn't mean much.

They say they are GDPR compliant but I think they are on thin ice legally and just don't trust them to behave properly, so no they can't give my medical records to third parties.

This morning did a quick bit of DIY at home then enjoyed the sunshine reading a book for an hour or so.

Drove into town for a haircut and as i was pulling into parking space saw something on road and went round it. Turns out it was a brand new Iphone 12 someone had left on a car roof or something. Went to get haircut and noticed text message in Turkish came up on screen. I use a Turkish barber and he translated it for me so i knew someone would be calling. 5 minutes later phone starts ringing and sure enough its the owner of the kebab shop i found the phone outside. Gave hm his phone back and didnt even get a free kebab

Got home and as missus was busy this afternoon off out on the Multistrada ....after an hour and a half ended up with a 40mm screw through the rear tyre. Couldnt limp it home as the tyre went too flat too quick so finally used an emergency repair kit under the seat for the first time ever. plugged it and rode home

I thought doing a good deed gets you good karma ffs

[ZRX61]

I had a long needle AND a ultrasonic thingie inserted in my ass

If you get a prostate biopsy, do NOT ask to see the tool BEFORE the procedure.
I did wait until after & still wanted to run out of the room... It would have been nice if he'd mentioned the noise it makes before he activated it the first.
Me: What was that??
Dr: The tool firing to take a sample
Me: Firing????

Afterwards:
Dr: You may have rust colored semen.
Me: If that happens I'm gonna tell the gf she broke my dick.

I made sweet and sour sauce, satay chicken and was planning to make fried rice but just realised I've left the rice in the IP so that's probably ruined

Supposed to be making bakewell tarts but have had a bastard of a headache all day (5 hours sleep after a phone argument with my sister very late last night ) so am chilling for a bit. Cooking didn't make it go away, so hopefully drugs and chilling will!! Need to make the bakewells for a bbq on Saturday!!

[KungFooBob]

Sat having a beer in New Asgard.

[gremlin]

Went to yoga with four ladies. With a borrowed pink yoga mat. Had go in the Figaro. With glittering blue toenails.

Just pass me the bumming hat and be done with it.

I think you're past that stage. You need the op mate.

Update:
It's not rust colored, it looked like raspberry ripple icecream.

(Ops check ok)

Well I'm flipping knackered!! 1.5 hours each way to a bbq of rehab inmates from when I was there. 6 hours of listening to and speaking French.

But lots of compliments on my ability to speak the language

Downside was when the mad bird turned the music up every now and then I struggled to understand whoever I was talking to with the loud background noise. But TBF, I think I've always had that issue in English too!! LOL

Very tired Noggin. Crashing out for an hour or so then will climb the steps to bed! LOL

Lots to do tomorrow to try and get organised for an incoming kitten - hopefully Tuesday. It seems the foster humans seem ok to let her go

[ZRX61]

Got the pool light reassembled with new spiffy LED bulb & rubber gasket after soaking the screws & tabs in Kroil overnight.

Started to fix the leaking valve for the swamp cooler. It only leaks when it's *on*
Discovered I didn't have a socket that fit it so had to go to the plumbing store & buy a set of tube wrenches
Come home
Remove valve
Go back to plumbing store to buy new valve
Come home again, fix new valve.
Turn on swamp cooler, ops check ok.
Turn off A/C
Reduce electric bill by about $500/month.. altho the AC only ran for 4 or 5 days, not an entire month.

[Silly Car]

Lifted a load of block paving and replaced it with new blocks

Reason being, not enough of old stuff to infill the new patio area, old stuff being repurposed elsewhere.

It was yesterday, but we took the In-Laws to the beer garden in the local Harvester. Had lunch and slowly drunk from 3-7:30 and got a bill for £160!

Wait it wasn’t quite as bad as I thought! I suppose the food was £50-ish then bung on 3 bottles of wine and a good few pints over that time period and you’re soon there. Lovely afternoon though and I’ve been looking forward to a sunny afternoon in a beer garden, so it’s alll good.
