Having my boiler serviced and I mean serviced, not cover off and looked at like BG and Homeserve do. Also got him to replace an outside tap for me. Its all amazing as in these supposed times of depression, I cant get any trades round to do anything. No one turned up to quote for new flooring or new composite decking. :eh:

Been asking since last year! Everyone is either too busy or doesn't show up! No ones even bothered to over price it! :D

Listening to the torrential not-forecasted rain, and sulking about the two loads of washing currently out on the line that is very definitely not drying. 🙃

I just made soft tacos (I'm not calling them tortillas - tortillas are made of egg). Now, I'm no stranger to cooking but I cannot believe I've never made these before.

So easy & so, so much better than the bought ones I put in my girls' pack lunches for years.

Strip off, let the Sun's UV kill off bacteria.

Be sure to let your neighbours know :)

Not enough beer to fill the pool.

Bigger than a bath, smaller than an ocean

I kept going bigger and bigger with paddling pools until I ended up with a 4' deep heated one. Then I realised it's not worth it and now we have an inflatable pool just big enough for one person to stetch out, much easier and always in reach of the table with your beer.

Yeah that's about the size of this, 7' long apparently. It's like a person and a 1/2, deffo not 2 people
