Morneve all!

Ah, overheating Mini, that takes me back Hammo to years of replacing head gaskets, thermostats, water pumps, and that damnable bypass hose, and no mistake! I still have the scars to prove it.....

Talking of time, it is that point in the inevitable progress towards meeting the Grim Reaper that ol' Pequod has acquired another tick in the box marked 'Burfday'! I shall face the ensuing barrage of greeting cards, begging letters, and usual scramble to be the first (1st) to wish this old boy good 'elf, with my lip (upper) stiffened and an array of suitable ripostes at my disposal..... harrumph!!!

A good day to you, Sirs....

Aahh! The pesky bypass hose. What goes around, comes around.



Milestone, or just another year?



Have a whale of a time.

That's a fabulous selection Byker28i, I reckon I'd be buying one of everything and making notes as I sample!!!

Good luck Dibble, fingers crossed for the best outcome!!!

I've finished cleaning the kitchen, including mopping the kitchen floor, I've also dusted the front room, which raises an issue with Mrs Bobbers dusting, and a question for all Trivialites, it appears that Mrs Bobbers subscribes to the school of "dust around stuff", do others partners do similar???
I've always known she hates cleaning with a passion, I on the other hand subscribe to the school of "Well it needs doing so do it to the best of your abilities"!!!!
Lunch break now, then dusting upstairs, cleaning the bathroom and hoovering upstairs left to do!!!

fking fking fksticks cocking arsewk.

The good news is no more metal has broken and there is evidence of further bone healing.

But…

The consultant wants to replace the smaller/inside plate, put more pins in and do the bone graft now, rather than waiting to see if anything else breaks, because if it does, that’s a bigger/longer/more complex surgery.

The plus side to this is it’s three months’ healing, starting from now (well, tomorrow). If I wait another 4/6/8/10 weeks, then have the surgery, it’s three months from an indeterminate future date. It seems to make sense to just get on with it.

Ho hum.

Good afternoon all.

Good luck Dibble, you must be close to being immune to anaesthetics.
Many happy returns Mr P, did you receive a Nantucket Sleighride voucher?

I have also been cleaning today and, unlike Mrs B, I remove all items from shelves, tabletops etc, use soft cloth with suitable cleaner and replace clutter.

Currently listening to LA Woman. one of the best tracks of all time.

Tough lines there Dibble. You are certainly having a tough time of it.

Happy Birthday Pequod!


High gusting winds,storms and heavy downpours here at outpost F. Not a day for gardening.

I've just had a call from the doctors surgery canceling my appointment this afternoon until Monday morning due to the fact that the computer system being knocked out by the storms.

That's rough, Dibble, but good that what has healed so far is going well. Good luck with the next stage!

Afternoon all!

Thank you for your kind burfday wishes, fair brings a warm glow to the damaged heart of ol’ Pequod, and no mistake.

I am in receipt of various burfday cards, mostly the usual Boneyhomey sort of thing, however, one gets straight to the point…



Harrumph!!

Many stuck pages? Asking for a friend whistle

Many years ago, one of my jobs was working in the Wimbledon cleaning depot for British Rail. Do you remember the Singles compartments on carriages? Well regular commuters who were not getting much at home would purchase a large spreadsheet newspaper and a girly mag, read the mag undercover of the newspaper then when they got to their home station would leave the jazz mag's under the seats. so when a carriage came in for cleaning, the first thing we would do is lift the seat cushions and enjoy the pics, the staff canteen (all blokes) had a pile of magazines some 3ft high, Very educational biggrin
