Saw something on Sky News earlier. At pools if somebody is in trouble the lifeguards have to carry out a risk assessment before they can go in to try and save them. Get a life literally!

Having to call a locksmith.
Trying to replace cylinder locks to ones with posh keys. Did the front, back door however became misaligned, key stuck and no budge with Thor’s hammer.

Missus says I can’t be a plumber, electrician or locksmith. I explained we have running water and lights don’t we and I could be a burglar but don’t fancy breaking the door.

Left my 7 iron at holiday house, hoping to have a few swings, which never happened.
Playing Castle Stuart in the morning ??
hope you are getting plenty of freebies with the amount you are playing there, been once on the £50 deal that is enough for me, next time will only be if its free:LOL:

Got my phone (Moto G7) out after finishing my round today to discover that the home screen (which was just fine this morning) had been trashed.
All the icons I had carefully placed had been removed and replaced with various things I don't want - a Google widget, icons to Duo, Moto actions, etc.
Presumably some sort of update happened while I wasn't looking. But who did it I have no idea - Google, Motorola, perhaps even my phone provider (Virgin)?
Why do they do this? What can they hope to achieve other than to hack off their users?

I had a spurious app appear on my old iPhone yesterday for no reason. Not used as a phone just as an iPod. Know idea how it installed itself.

litter bug kids, been a load of them swimming in the canal by the rowing club pontoons, the amount of litter they leave on a daily basis is shocking

Spam emails - getting some saying my paypal/apple accounts have been suspended because of "fraudulent" activity. Yeah right especially when you are asking for my details to reactivate the account. Marked them as spam and reset the password but still coming through, just from different email addresses. Not a problem for the likes of us but I can imagine there will be some that get suckered in at some point
