Watched a film and am about to watch another. Cant do much else as I'm stuck in whilst they fit the kitchen.

OK. Let's see pictures. Have you made the tart-mobile any worse?

Nah, not worse they just kook better suited to the car than the OEM one. I did find out today that you can get light up stars! But more important was I found a button that I didn't know what it was for. Turns out its a nifty little deployable windscreen spoiler called an aircap!

I've just had the wipers off mine to see if I could clean up the rubbers as they're smearing a teeny bit.

£70 a pair for wipers, more if you buy them from MB!

I'll stick to using more washer liquid, it's much cheaper.

I've been for a walk in the snow. It's kinda lovely

Ouch! Mind you I think I paid £40 at Mercedes for wiper blades on my CLK a few years back?

Don't ask me, i just work here...

In honesty i can't think of anything.... nothing has changed. We've not changed or updated the software for 6-8 weeks or more.

Maybe it's coz me and Tiepin post the best shite and the forum software recognises that

Just jet-washed the 3 dirt bikes. Blimey, they were disgusting. They'd have made Weeksy cry

Dont forget your masks

Worked last night, it involved a train evacuation, a dead deer that turned into a dead foal, a short notice Temporary "Isolation" to deal with broken shoe gear equipment on the train that dealt the foal the fatal blow and a selection of numpties that didn't know the Rules and tried pulling the wool over my eyes after they forgot to do something (this will involve a strongly worded listening too for someone tonight).

Today I've slept and taken the dogs for a walk, also finally succeeded in getting the Polar watch and Mac app to work properly (I suspect they'd cocked up their "update").

Been to the valley to see my physio. Went to do a 'top up' shop cos I'd borrowed a car! (Sure to realise I've forgotten something important in a day or so!). Had an online French lesson when I got back.

Then took the car back and walked home. Tis blooming lovely when it's snowy up here. Luckily it was quite warm when I was walking back. -2! Well, comparatively warm - it was -8 when I left this morning and -5 when I got back after lunch! We don't want it to get any warmer than -2 cos we need the snow cannons to keep running and more snow to come down - rain is banned for the next 6 months!!

The whole back of the house is painted with a 2 pack paint jobby. They had to wear masks.
Very tough but you'll see I put flat metal plates under the side stands.
Same inside the garage itself.

When we moved in, the back of the house was just scrub. So we laid about a foot of concrete and built the garage and pergola. Transformed the place.

Just had my booster jab - Moderna but apparently renamed Spikycunt or similar...?
