Sent the Gremlinette a Red Cross parcel consisting of Haribos, Cadbury Buttons, Candy Kitten bags and some healthy recipe cards I picked up in Waitrose.
I know. Ironic.

The only reason to eat candy kittens is because they're veggie/vegan.
Haribos aren't either.

I figured she could share them around with the other people in her accommodation block. Sense of camaraderie and all that. Hence the somewhat eclectic mix.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2023 2:02 pmThe only reason to eat candy kittens is because they're veggie/vegan.

Re: What have you done today thread?
That's the best kind of Red Cross parcel (for me it's all about the Cadbury's!)!! LOL I've been here so long my family don't do that - well, actually, they never did!! But my friends have stopped now! LOL

Re: What have you done today thread?
The relentless sun here does destroy things.
Including the expensive paintwork on the path at side of house.
So I've spent most of day with my orbital sander and paint scraper prepping it for painting tmrw.
Had to make sure that surface was keyed and get up any flaky or loose bits.
The big area behind the house is still perfect after 5 years.
Different guy did the side path
Beer time now

My dinner suit wasn't delivered to my hotel, I have no idea where it is, lost somewhere, so I've spent a pleasant few hours trying to get a tailored dinner suit for an event this evening. I did find a tailor who fixed me up, so it's not the end of the world, but it has cost me a lost suit, a few hours of my time and the cost of a new one.

Yesterday the SBH got new headlights, today I'm replacing the missing/broken fasteners, checking oil & putting some air in the tires. New seat covers arrive tomorrow.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Finally managed to get the bike out of the garage & onto the patio,yes I know the flags need repointing,but priorities & all that
To get to this point we had to cut out a door shaped hole & move the door from it's previous position
We blocked up the hole left by removing the door & fitted a window
There's 1 1/2 FZ750's a XT600,SV650 & a Street Triple in there plus a hyraulic bench
Once I'm happy with the set up I'll start on the inside of the garage,it's freezing in there mid winter so I'm planning on insulating & boarding out the walls.

I hope you can do a better job of sorting the flags than whoever walked off the job before floating the garage floor.Bustaspoke wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2023 6:52 pm Finally managed to get the bike out of the garage & onto the patio,yes I know the flags need repointing,but priorities & all that

Re: What have you done today thread?
To drive passengers here (for work, not just in a car privately !!) you have to have a 'yellow card' (!!) to show you have been approved. That just means a quick check in at the doctor, then send off the paperwork and it lasts for 5 years.
My first one came through when they temporarily stopped sending actual cards and just sent a letter
Then, after that expired, I took the medical but broke my leg before I sent off the papers
Last year I had the medical again (and also another one, same doc, for the driving licence!). But when I sent off for hte yellow card I was told they wouldn't give me one because my uk driving licence card expired in December. I couldn't get another UK one and the system here struggled with my name change!
Today, because my French licence arrived this week, I've been for the medical, again!!! The doctor laughed, we're almost on first name terms!! So now I have a medical again and can send off my application for the yellow card
Once that arrives, I have another copy of the medical so I can apply for a VTC licence. This allows me to drive a single passenger (for work) without a taxi licence
Here's hoping these two processes are simpler than actually getting the driving licence

Re: What have you done today thread?
I've had quite a productive time at work today...
I've managed to piss three of those yellow urinal cube chunks down through the urinal grating.
It takes real strategy to choose which urinal has the ones used up and small enough and to keep at it through the day to it finally gets through.
Hand to eye to penis coordination at its best.
Due to the unique way the door schedule has been bodged together by Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles with help from Dunning-Kruger I've achieved fuckall else mind.

Baby D (5) is currently doing 'materials' at school. They've been looking at metal, glass, fabric and plastic. Teacher has asked them to find an example of one at home and bring it to school.
I've just sent her off with a piece of carbon fibre she found
