WooT, back home

[Taipan]

Sdnt home from work as NHS app said i'd been exposed to covid and I need to self isolate for 8 days!

oh bollox.

That means you'll post even more shite on here

You wished! Actually spending less and less time on here as busy with family crap!

[Mussels]

Managed to convince my wife I need to spend another £200ish on another aquarium filter 2 months after spending about the same amount on new filters. She's happy as she gets to buy a big pot plant to hide the beast. I'll also remember that the figure filter manufacturers quote on the box is a complete lie.

Just come back from five hours of the Gremlinette driving the Figaro around Carzone in Essex, a private roadway kids can use without a provision licence.

She's knackered and is lying on the sofa and my nerves are shot to pieces. Need a lie down in a darkened room with large Scotch.

[ZRX61]

Picked up 4 new sprinkler heads to replace the buggered ones, dropped off the recycling aluminum, glass & plastic ($27 worth), bought Saturday nights winning lottery ticket.

Is that a state one? But but but, Van and Junior said Swann was useless

I was up at the boat at 7:30 and dropped the bottom of the outboard motor to replace the water pump impeller. True to form, the previous 'mechanic' had managed to destroy the thin nylon washer that sits on top of the impeller itself (there's one underneath too, like a couple of thrust washers I guess). Leaving everything as it was, I popped home and found a thin nylon cap from the measuring jugs I use for mixing epoxy. A little thicker than the original but OK I reckon. As the original was nice regular sizes - 26 mm outside dia and 20 mm inside dia I was able to cut one fairly precisely using Forstner bits.

Back up at the boat I cleaned up the whole water pump itself, slapped a bit of grease where it needed to be slapped and stuck it all back together. As easy done as said. Finished by 10:15. BUT, jeez it was hot up there! Almost burnt my fingers on tools left in the sun and now I have a bit of a headache.

Only three things left to do now. Speak with Çetin to get the mooring organised, organise the tractor and trailer to move the boat and anti-foul the bottom of the boat. All feels a lot better now.

Luckily not, but stupidly rushing about not thinking! Was storing boxes in the loft, shoving them up through the hatch on ladders that had seen better days, I pushed the box one way, ladders went the other, before I knew it I was on the floor with fractured ribs and a wrist that shouldn’t be at the angle it was

It's an NHS service.

As far as politicos go and I'm no fan of the type,Swann did well with his poisoned chalice.

Just finished painting the kitchen ceiling

I’ll be in the good books with SWMBO

[Demannu]

Caught le covid.
Went to a music and meal night last Saturday and got seated near a chain smoking Frenchie who started to cough his guts up.
He was asked to leave after a couple of minutes of this, but I guess the damage was done!
Feels like a bad cold tbh, luckily no shortness of breath.
Just have to grin and bear it.
Or go down the local intermarche and cough over the fruit and veg!

Got the all clear. Entered the code into the app and still get told to isolate for another 6 days. D'oh! Do I tell my firm or just go back in?

[Yorick]

Dug a bloody great soakaway hole in horrible sticky clay.
There was more stocking to the spade than going in the wheelbarrow.
Then a pal said to dip the spade in a bucket of water before each dig

15 barrow loads later I'm done. And the sun is beating.
