Painted two coats of paint, plumbed in a dishwasher, put up a curtain pole and associated curtains.
Currently also experimentally slow-roasting a joint of beef
Safe to say that Christmas prep is in full swing

Oh, and uploaded some DashCam footage to an insurance company, as I happened to be right behind an accident a few weeks back.

Schlepped all the way up to Manchester, had a lovely Xmas lunch with all of my side of the family and then came back home, no money changed hands for food.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Just occurred to me that I said 'Christmas prep is in full swing', while also having not a single Christmas decoration up. 
Fuck it. I got them out of the loft yesterday, there's no rush.

Finished my last night shift for the year, slept a bit, walked dogs and now feel shattered.

Re: What have you done today thread?
2/2 for MOTs today.
Bike in the morning, Moho in the afternoon.
Moho required some percussive maintainance to pass second time around, but nothing else to report, which for a 21 yo sprinter, is good going!

Re: What have you done today thread?
Got some bad news on the dad front. He's in some old folks gulag & has developed a questionable habit of targeting/harassing little old ladies who aren't exactly compos mentis owing to dementia etc. (I just found out about this today from my step brother)
Things went a bit too far yesterday & owing to something called *safeguarding* he's been given 28 days to bugger off. Not sure of the details, cops were called but her family didn't want to press matters.
He's 89.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Just had to rescue roomie & her 40yo son from a "terrifying" sparrow that had flown into the kitchen. It was sitting on the counter, dropped a tea towel over it & released it into the back yard. Her son wanted to "hit it with a broom".
From the original screaming I thought maybe there was a Grizzly roaming the house...
