Tell Us Something Really Trivial About Your Life (Vol 32)
Discussion
Good morning all,
Last night I finished season 1 of Better Call Saul. I started watching it on Friday night.
Mrs Scrump and the young Scrumps have gone away for a girly break and left me on my own.
There are 3 seasons left to watch but the girls are back in 3 days.
I know I should continue at the season 1 pace and get one more season watched before they return but it is tempting to go all out and watch a season per day

A splinter in my finger. But not any splinter. A glass splinter. Kinell.
Step Daughter #2 is in a rented house owned by a couple with grand ideas and tight purse strings. The house had a four poster bath with a built in ceiling, sliding doors, a shower, a jacuzzi and, so help me, a radio. Why? I don't know. It didn't work. To be more precise, the bath didn't drain. I had several goes at it but the drain had an uphill section that banjaxed the whole thing. The whole thing was just shockingly poor quality. The landlord was summoned repeatedly. "Does the radio still work?" "Nothing works." "We'll get that sorted out." Nothing happened. A year with no bath and her little girl talking about "having a sink" instead of "having a bath." She is tiny though. SD #2 felt unable to press the landlord too hard as the rent is good but right on her limit and she didn't want to give him an excuse to put the rent up. Eventually after another tentative complaint he arrived with talk of fitting a conventional bath. He took time to admire the old bath. "Does the radio still work?" "Nothing works." "Right, we'll get rid of it and put in a P bath with a glass partition and one of those thermostatically controlled showers and retile the floor and walls." "Just being able to have a bath would be nice."
Long story short, I got rid of the old shower. Three trips to the tip using an A4 estate. There was so much of it. Jeez. I dropped one of the doors. It was poor quality safety glass. So much blood. Dripping blood I was at one point. Anyway, ended up with a glass splinter in my finger. Poked about with a needle and got it out. But why was it still painful two days later? Thinks. I had broken the tip off and it was still in there. Bolleaux.
It was tiny. A big magnifying glass was used.
How tiny is tiny?
That's a big needle.
That's a 5 pence piece for scale. I doubt the splinter was half a millimetre long. But cor blimey it was painful.
New bath in place but not functioning yet.
It is more in proportion with the house though.

Oh dear, we seem to be having another day of changing our minds, we walk outside to get in the car and Mrs Bobbers stands there squinting and pulling faces, so I ask "I take it you've changed your mind about Mottisfont?"
"Yeah it's too hot, I don't want to be walking around in it!!"
So we have a picnic style lunch set up in the hobby room, the windows are open and the fan is running, at least it looks like I'll get project Extreme Adventure truck finished!!!!!

After getting rid of the motorbike I decided to give the garage a good clean out and see if I could make enough space to keep a car in there. (If I can’t then at least I will have a much tidier garage).
The streamlining of garage storage released 3 large steel industrial storage racks. They are heavy and probably worth something in scrap, but they are also very strong so may be of use to someone so I posted an advert on freecycle this morning.
I am now getting inundated with messages asking detailed questions about them. A couple of people have arranged times to come and collect them but then not turned up. Waste of a day so far!
