Been on the Sherry?

Actially i could quite go a small glass of Amontillado!

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.

Why do you keep Muz?

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.

He's doing the glossing
Besides, somebody around here needs to look pretty.

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.

Absolute Radio?

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

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!

& another $65.70 for 14.6 gallons this morning.. so while I've spooged over $200 of fuel since the 13th, Friday was the first fill up in two months & it wont need filling again until at least February, maybe March... Thank fuck.

I dropped off the running boards/body kit at the paint shop this morning. He's going to call later with a (cash) price.

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.

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...
