When I'm away from home (which is most of the week at present) I use my phone. Or at least I use it until I can't see it any more more one reason or another.

We are multi media here at The Towers.

The flags, semaphore and beacons weren't a success though.
I could use my phone*; it was the mental image of tapping away on a tablet up there on a Saturday night that was entertaining me smile
Sunday lunch in the lounge by the open fire, it is a charming and respectable pub, and I'll be there this weekend, but Friday / Saturday nights can be a rough crowd. Mostly nice folks, but some are a bit feral.
On the plus side, I don't recall ever seeing a "prestige" German motor parked there smile.


  • Once I find or reset my PH password so I can log from the phone.

Just finished rebuilding the driver's seat in daughter's car. (Swift Sport) New cushion and cover for the squab as the old foam has turned to dust meaning the cover has worn through on the frame. So I thought I'd redo it while it's still possible to buy replacement parts. The seat is here, the car is at her mum's so I'll pop out when the monsoon has died down a touch.

It's only now occurred to me whether or not I should have investigated if there's a procedure for unplugging/plugging in the side airbag loom which pokes out of the bottom of the seat.
Oh well, what's the worst that could happen?

With the help of my brother we've taken my dining room table out the house, into the van and into a lockup where it will stay until it's sold. I will never again in my life buy a marble dining table. My hands are still shaking, my head's splitting and I very nearly shat myself.

fking heavy is an understatement.

Stupid purchase and very pleased I never have to move it again.


New less stupid dining table incoming.

Come on, now. You found some of Battert's Cocktail, didn't you? Judging by the symptoms it was some of the 2005?

Dining table removals indeed.

Could be worse, could have been some of the '09. That stuff was quite capable of dissolving marble.

A feeling very similar to Battert's Cocktail. Brutal stuff.

But alas it was indeed a stupid dining table made of rock.


To ensure I never have to move it again I've put it on ebay for 99p no reserve.

The '09 has all gone now, it ate through everything and we couldn't find anything to put it in.

We carried the old still out, left it behind the smaller barn and told the council we were digging a new well.

Without doubt.

If it doesn't sell I will use my trusty, logistics simplifier tool and be done with it.
