Things That Gladden The Heart

[PJ87]

Day 3 of 5 without the kids, their room is coming on really well. My mate is pleased with it. Can't help but think the fantastic caulking efforts of his lacky made the room... Nothing to do with the fact he gave me the easiest job just to speed the thing along .

Video called the girls whilst I washed out his brushes (another underrated job) got a tour of the caravan etc .. I say a tour. I got one of the twins forehead in different rooms bless her

Missing them dearly but it's great to be able to crack on and get this sorted. My wife (and two of the girls) asthma wouldn't have coped with the dust

Good job they did leave . Next doors builders started yesterday. Been a nightmare for parking etc ... But they been great tbh. I let them park well over our drive so long as I can get the deliveries into house. So it sped them up and means when the girls are back they can park fully on his drive again as skip 1 is gone and the slabs will be gone tomorrow

All in all good but tiring days

Time to settle in with Mondays left over curry I cooked

A lad in early/mid-20s I know; very difficult family background; his life an absolute mess; was going nowhere fast other than deep trouble and/or the undertakers; but he’s sorted himself out; tells me today that he’s passed all the entry criteria and tests, and is joining the Royal Marines on Monday. So pleased and so proud of him.

Been a crap couple of weeks, but.
Tuesday night we got the shifts through for when we have the grandkids in July. There is two weekends free in July so me and Missis T contacted a couple we met on Holiday in Mauritius to meet up with in Scotland. They live around Glasgow.
On the Thursday we are having a night in a pub called “ The Drovers”. Then on the Friday and Saturday night we are meeting the other couple at a place called Cairndow Stagecoach inn which is at the top of Loch Fyne. What’s more, we met another couple in Mauritius and they are going as well. It could get very very messy.
So in a couple of weeks time I will be asking my friends North of the Border re , currency, inoculations and passport control etc

But apparently it’s cool to not like Coldplay

It really seems that way. They were amazing live when I saw them.

That makes me sub-zero!

Step One boxer shorts. They’ve been a revelation for golf and long dog walks. Comfortable, breathable and more importantly no chaffage! Perfect for the warmer weather. Expensive but worth it.

I have one pair but I don't like that they don't have a flap for getting your chap out when you go for a wee.

Surely that is basic for a pair of undies!!

They do now but think it's £2 a pair more. I got them again with. Was worth the upgrade

Yesterday my mates boy phoned when at 5 to see how it was going (we finished at 7)

"Need any help tomorrow?" Yes please !!

Perfect. I have no shame in admitting he is a hell of a lot stronger than me and considering it's carpet going upstairs that's been in living room all week and beds arriving today a strong person is exactly what is required...

Plus frees me up a bit to get the house back into kid mode for their return

Tesco changing their own brand kids paracetamol flavour from strawberry to cherry

Thank you

My kids are allergic to strawberry because of my wife. It sucks and blooming hard to find strawberry free kids medicine.. Calpol is strawberry so their switch to cherry for own brand really saves me going to the one pharmacy in the area (15 min drive rather than the 3 that are a 5 min walk) to get the stuff (if they have ofc)

Thanks Tesco!

One of my family works in the food/chemistry industry working on 'flavours'. He once told me that very few flavours are actually the real thing thing just a chemically produced simulation.

The coffee from McDonalds is actually quite good. And half the price of Costa and other chains.

Wow! last time I had a coffee in McDonalds most of it was left in the cup and I have never bought one in there since and I am a coffee addict.

So many designs these days do not have them.
I wear briefs and cannot remember the last time I bought a pair with an opening (probably in the 70s).
