All you need is couple of 3x2s, 3 hinges, a bit of net curtain and some paint.
I hate flies so I have 2 of these for the summer.....front and back door wide open and fly doors firmly shut.

Wouldn't work on the 1.8m French doors on the workshop. The fly must have gotten in through the window vents, which on one MUST stay open due to fumage in an active workshop.
Irritating part is that I don't see flies in there very often if at all on a daily basis. But this one just happened to choose the day it's a clear resin pour. Wouldn't have mattered if it was a black pour, which is basically 90% of pours.

It's like they know. Some fly conspiracy.Not as bad as yours but I decided to paint some skirting boards outside at the weekend, I didn’t consider that it would attract every flying insect known to man

Mildly irritating as I've paid for the new washing machine to arrive by 12 as mother in law is waiting for me
Says will be here 09:45 -11:45
We are delivery 6 on the truck
Now we are east London
The vans in Wales lol it can't get here physically by 12
Called AO they think the tracking been assigned to wrong order as first drop on our van is 2 miles away
Let's hope

If I didn't need it today I would have. Needs must
Anyways the correct can is now assigned to the tracker
Can't really fault the service just funny.

You’ll be surprised how quick some locals can be. I know 2 (1 in South London, 1 in East London) that often do same day delivery and installation, but people assume they can’t and won’t.

But you assume I had the time to shop at various shops?
Machine needs to be working. Mrs wanted that make, ao could get it today by 12 which mother in law could stay at ours for.
So ao wins
If it was the dishwasher which I can wash up for couple days whilst I shop about or spend time googling
I came down at 0645 by 0700 I had it ordered.
If I could wait another day is go Currys as I get 7% discount
As I said. Needs must

Bought some wall mounts for my new speakers but they don’t swivel enough to use as rear surrounds 
Time for a rethink

I got these for out in the workshop and, due to the space next to the lumber racks, one of them is at about a 65 degree angle and looks like it has even more room. Got a set of Wharfedale Diamond 9s on them to a little Denon DM41 and they sound superb, no vibration through the brackets in to the wall at all.
They are heavy duty though, but they look decent enough. The only potential issue with any side clamping bracket though is the 3010's having curved corners but if the side clamps are high enough they should still grip.

Yeah I saw those but I’m not sure if they’d clamp the speakers, I’d have to measure them first. I can mount one on the side wall the but other is a problem, I’m thinking of maybe bolting an angle bracket to the wall then fix the mount to that, I’m worried it may look ugly though.
Other option is some really tall stands (around 1.6m I’m guessing), there are some really nice ones out there and I need to stop looking

Looking at the reviews, someone has 3010s in them and the look ok.Yeah I saw those but I’m not sure if they’d clamp the speakers, I’d have to measure them first.

A custom set of speaker stands would be cool
.Ideally you want surrounds not much over ear height. Even angled they sound naff, as I tried to tell the in-laws but they insisted that the surrounds be up high.
We have ours angled in and at 1100mm from floor. Really wraps the sound around you.

Rest of the family not throwing out empty packets/packaging, leaving them in cupboard. Even worse, leaving dregs in a bags (frozen veg, chips, tomatoes, etc.) and cracking open a fresh one.

Sat on plane for an hour at Heathrow waiting for everyone to get on. Just start rolling back to taxi to runway and the pilot makes an announcement that he has a caption telling him that one of the tyres is flat. 45 minutes delay while the grubbers change the wheel.

Worst bit is having to get all the luggage out so that they can get to the spare wheel.
