Random Irritations

Good lord, only six minutes! Was in a queue for over an hour and a half the other day for B & Q. Then discovered how crap the website and painful the website was. Used Screwfix instead.
Same, had over an hour queue on both B&Q and Wickes and still could not get what I wanted. Both Screwfix and Toolstation have had no queues and eventually got what I needed (they are only releasing smaller amounts of stock each day to stop queues at the pick up points)

was only trying to check the spec on something and annoyingly screwfix dont stock
 
Must be very hard for those who are working from home. Very hard to switch off from work to rest.

My wife actually enjoys her one bit of work a week she been set by her school to keep her in the loop (shielding) it's a break

Onto the topic yes it's best to have a bit of a plan. Rather than just do things for hours until you get tired aswell

Early nights are good .. we are asleep by 10 up at 6 ATM on days I'm not working

Fresh air breaks , walk round the garden to break from work clear your head

I really struggled last week but I was working from the living room so wasn't getting out of the house and trying to relax where I have been working all day.

I am now in the summer house and feel much better (so far).
 
Hornets, and nothing to do with Watford. :eek:

Second one in the house and they are huge and dozy. Managed to get it out a window, though it took my five iron to dislodge it completely. Little baby draw, kissing the top of the window. Definitely my best shot of the year.(y)

I bet you really took driver, hybrid, then 5 iron!

I believe that's why the previous previous owner of our house build a summer house. As a home office. I don't being work home with me but I've been told it's the way to draw a line between work and home
 
There's a tree in next door's garden giving millions of little - I don't know what you call them but they're little balls of fluff similar to tiny dandelions and there are MILLIONS of them blowing all across our garden every day now. You step out there for a minute and you have this fluff in your hair, up your nose. It's like a snowstorm in Spring, ridiculous.
 
We keep getting wasps in, and they are massive this year. I have an industrial bug zapper in the loft to stop them from nesting. I have to go up once a week and remove the dead ones from it.
 
Probably a myth, but is regularly repeated- that having taken them outside, and dumped them, they will be back inside the house almost before you are?

That is a myth. House spiders don't live long outside. There are probably upwards of 1000 spiders in the average house, born, live, and die there. This time of year they are more visible, as they get horny.
 
My daughter's decision to bang her head on her bed again when it's daddy's turn to do bed time

Apparently my fault because she doesn't throw herself back for wife.

Now getting comments like put a lid on the pot so dinner doesn't totally ruin

Not being funny but it's a curry... You can let it cool down and then reheat it will be twice as good ..
 
I’ve just been bitten by a spider
Put on a shirt that was on the bed and felt a sharp sting, put my hand there and felt an insect , so squished it through the shirt.

Looks like a false widow, got me 5 times, just a rash at the mo, but if I start spinning webs I’ll let you know ?

Would bringing the flamethrower round be an essential journey..:unsure:
