Well, we're not very busy at all at the mo at work.

This evening I've mostly been repairing a windmill, two of the blades have broken.

Shouldn't be too much longer on it now, I think we'll probably bugger off home around midnight. Either that or we'll both die of boredom.

Oh, it's a garden ornament, belongs to one of the lasses on the day shift. About 3 foot high it is. (the windmill, not her. She'd be about 5'6)

A strange night's sleep last night, dreamt I was at a job interview and they asked me if I could laminate, then promptly sent me off to lay up some plain carbon panels telling me it was part of the interview!!!

Today's quandary, when I get home if the weather stays good, do I mow the lawn and strim, or do I clean the dirty Focus which is covered in bird poo??

The other Thursday, I took my dirty Focus to "Samuel's Car Handwash & Valeters" for a quick going over with a gravelly sponge, prior to our trip to Llandudno, where the seagulls took a liking to my shiny machine and used it all over the long weekend for target practice.
I have to commend them for their accuracy.
On the wednesday, I returned to Sam's Bar ( "Wash it again, Shammy." ) place and jokingly said that they'd missed a bit last time! Oh, how they all laughed!
Especially when, having done a very thorough job of removing all the guano and leaving me with a sparkling clean C-Max, I handed them a fully stamped loyalty card entitling me to a free car wash.
I did give them a tip though: It pays to maintain good relations with the eastern Europeans if you don't want your daughters to be taken.

But I did notice later that the 'X' on the tailgate has gone missing, most likely blasted off by the pressure washer jet.

I now drive a C-Ma. frown

I wish, it's a complete rear bush overhaul at the end of August on the cards now, there's some interesting bangs and rattles coming from the back of it now!!!

biggrin

I had one of those.

Most of Monday morning. headache

Very rare for me, but I did rather hammer the Trooper ale a bit on Sunday evening at the Flying Cockroach.
Then I made the mistake of stopping drinking, and went home to bed, which inevitably leads to the ang over situation.

But I don't regret it. I needed to forget about stuff for a bit.


Bobbers, have you checked the condition of the rear coil springs on your ocus hia?
They are quite prone to corrosion and eventual snapping.

I checked at Christmas when I did the rear pads, they are looking a little crusty in places but don't appear too bad, I'm led to believe there's about seven different spring rates available for my ocus!!! eek So finding the right ones may be a bit of a mission!!

Recent conversation at work,
Manager- We now want you to do the work scheduled for the week first before you do any arrears!!
Me- Oookkkaaayyyy, what about the fact only a 1/3rd of it's at the machine??
Manager- What do you mean it's not there???
Me- (points at rack and says) That lot there is all arrears, the only two jobs available for this week are already being done!!
Manager- ???? (shakes head and walks off!!)

Oddly enough, the flat plates that we produce are just about the most profitable product. It's no good asking me why, I'm only the Acting Windmill Technician.

Incidentally, the boss is bringing his lawnmower in for us to have a look at tonight. Apparently the grass box fell off and won't go back on, it's also a bugger to start.

Should keep us busy for a few hours, hopefully. Might even take it to the spray shop and give it a quick blow-over.

I'll see how it goes.

Right, I'm going to have a nice drop of soup for lunch. (lunch? breakfast? confused )

Oxtail, in fact. With a nice bit of crusty bread.

I think I'll have a crafty NOM while Peri's not about. NOM.
