We dropped to 23* when I went to range at 6.30 this morning, it was baltic! We're at 25 now but it feels like 10

If you're looking for sympathy there's a chance you might not find much here......

My daughter, son in law and granddaughter are coming up to see us this weekend. Not seen them for a few months so can't wait.

You don't like them?

 

[Robster59]

I mean I can't wait to see them. They live in Surrey, we live in East Kilbride so we don't get the chance to get together as much as we would like. That's modern living and moving to work for you.

I think @bobmac was querying why you find it randomly irritating

Ah bugger. It should be under things that gladden the heart. Oops.

Needed to do a trip into the hospital for 08:30 this morning. 1 hour, 10 minutes for 14.5 miles!
Was expecting a slow one so allowed plenty of time, and probably not helped by the monsoon season returning.
Probably randomly irritated for those who have to suffer this regularly!

The wife wants me to re- paint the tops of of our 2 keter storage boxes, AGAIN.
Last year I relented and painted them with Hammerite ( wild thyme ).
The wrong paint I think, now it's peeling off.
Any advice on what to use to repaint with a different make and slightly different shade.
Do I need to completely remove old paint. Or just rub it down and paint.

What is the material you are painting? From memory Hammerite is meant for painting metal

If it is galvanised you have to strip off all the old paint and then use the appropriate primer* (look at the peeling paint on lots of garage doors just overpainted)

*Not done it in many years but it used to be calcium plumbate.

My ex bought me the latest Kate Bush CD. And, at the time, we didn't have a CD player. I got the hint. That CD cost me a lot of money for a new stereo system.

What no DVD player either?

Why are people hating the cross breeds today?

Does cross breed refer to the dogs face

Hammerite do a 'Special Metals Primer' (that is the actual name of the product) that we use for priming galvanised tubes.

If it is anything like mine, they are plastic so no need to paint.

The quantity of electioneering drivel and verbal diarrhoea it looks like we have to put up with for the next 7 weeks.....

A certain organisation spending millions on a briefing room and then sending someone out in the pouring rain to deliver a brief that everyone knew before hand.
