Very winterish!niceGood morning everyone on maybe dry maybe wet start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.3 on the scales of Osiris this morning. Twelfth night so all remaining jolly bad things to eat are now consigned to the bin like an old copy of that Donovan ditty Intergalactic Laxative - just a couple of uneaten mince pies in reality. Grandchildren will dive into other treats - enough for at least half a year. Don’t look at them! Art bit, wet on wet with the blockbuster video card. Hope your first Friday of the year behaves as a Friday should. Just finished my koffy so going to have some more.

Creative is this...the app crashed when I wanted to draw more on it, with more layers, so this is what you get...my last save on it!
Wildlife nighttime camera
The Fox & Merlin - this is Foxy Loxy who is friends with all the cats
I have in the past seen Merlin sitting on the ground literally a hands-width away from Foxy Loxy.

Have your best day.
A cuppa next.

It's deliberate. They would say it's done because the different material is better but really it is a two fold justification, 1: it costs less to produce (less production cost = more profit) and 2: it will need to be replaced sooner (= more profit). Justification enough for their shareholders. I doubt that Skoda is any different to any other manufacturer these days.I picked up my car this am it was three hours work and cost me £330 that is the cost in a high quality garage.
He said the slave cylinder was failing on the slave cylinder in the servo for the clutch. Basically Skoda puts ****** plastic cylinders in nowadays and they fail early. When Hitler got them to make VWs the people's car ,they made their cars properly.

It is only around twenty years since the warranty for the body and chassis was brought in for more than ten years (ish) Rust was a common problem with second hand vehicles.I picked up my car this am it was three hours work and cost me £330 that is the cost in a high quality garage.

Happy 94th Birthday for MIL @ianpspursMorning all from a wet and breezy L.A on MIL's 94th birthday which basically means the rest of the day is so much froth though we do have some important business meetings planned . @dunelm and @gennepher thanks for sharing your art which are both wonderful - imho among my favourite. @SlimLizzy hug for Mr Slim and the crossing but winner for the effects of the D3. I caught a thought for the day type talk last Saturday which suggested leaving decorations up until Feb 2 so no rush.
My fault (as always), I had to delete cos I double replied, so when I typed the 'dreamy' my answer was in the reply rather than my area for typing, gonna blame my arthritic sausage fingers!
As a townie, we made all sorts of weaponry!When I was a lad we took Frank's dad's bike pump apart cos it was poor we just put vaseline on the washer.
But we saw possibilities it was made well and lined with steel tube.
When his dad was at work we took it apart again and took the body and put a little demon in it and the fuse came through the connection hole. Frank had some Industrial ball bearings he got from the brick pit work shops and we propped it up on brick to fire it at a heavy wooden brick pit storage room locked door and after we loaded a ball the size of his dad's pump tube.
Would you believe it, we had quickly made a Elephant gun, the ball went straight through the thick wooden door when we fired it. .
We quickly turned it into a pump again none the worse but I bet you can't believe we didn't do it again.
Neither do I I was a lad and lads can't be trusted?

Thanks for reminder, Kiki is overdue by a few days her treatment.5.8 this morning.
It has rained so much here. Our morning dog walk was a walk to the vet to pick up the tick and flea treatment.
There are plans to open a coffee shop and farm shop next to the vet which I am really looking forward to. Especially the coffee shop.
I bet you cleaned the kitchen before they installed the dishwashing machine?New dishwasher installed this afternoon. Ran it on an initial programme and it seems allright. Now I have to gather together enough dishes to run it properly - not so easy because it was all washed up before the dishwasher arrived. Its time will come though.

No probs!
I did clean up as best I could, but that was because it was my cleaner's day to come. In the end, she phoned to say her little girl was ill so she couldn't come this week. Neil took the old machine out, so we gave that little space a thorough clean. In fact it was Neil who installed the new one. He wouldn't have put it in had there been any grime in the space - he's pernickity that way. Takes after his Dad.I bet you cleaned the kitchen before they installed the dishwashing machine?
Just as you tidy up before the cleaner comes round?
I'm the same! Ha!
