Thanks...I can't unsee that with a red MAGA baseball cap on now.Not very friendly is somewhat of an understatement, positively Halloween like but beautifully photographed as usual. Do you think the badger(s) saw it and the companion as enemies/threats so attacked one then thought what pathetic creatures, they are no threat at all? I'll leave that with any badger psychologists out there.
Sorry to hear that @Krystyna23040 .Rehab is a long road @jjraak. My injuries from being hit by a white van (no predictive text not a white can) while cycling were nowhere as bad as yours but I am still working on them 19 years later and still improving.
Lauren's locational skills sound very similar to mine. Me 'turn right'. Mr K 'turn right or the way you are pointing '
Can't beat staring jealously through an airplanes teeny tiny window at the apron & watching all the trucks etc emptying or refilling the planes vitals, after half of the passengers have disembarked for a few hours to stretch their legs.Apparently, a huge benefit of regaining sovereignty, is that if diverted to another country, on a flight from the U.K., you can spend time, on the runway, whilst those European passengers can suffer by getting allowed to use the airport's facilities.
Poor things!
No rain but the thickest fog I have seen on the streets of London in a long time.It is foul weather outside...
It didn't even let me see the sun...
Just took a few photos for tomorrow, then came in back to bed.
I might go to sleep now...
Night night...
Oh dear......obviously been wet. And something is, or has been, living underneath it. Something bigger than a mouse. Plenty of animal mess up there, all soaking wet. Perhaps this is why the blue room, directly underneath, has developed a faint whiff of something unpleasant.Mr Slim won't be at all pleased about it.View attachment 70252
Wonder if the culprit could be a dormouse? You need on of @gennepher’s trail cameras. Hope you can get repaired done quickly.After noting the damage to the render, I started to wonder about other rain related problems, so after the viewers had come and gone, found a ladder and went up in the loft to have a look.
It's bad, very bad. It is easy to see where the water has been running down the wall, which is actually the chimney stack. What's worse is there has been so much water it has been washing out the columbage, that's clay based mortar to you and me. Also the rockwool insulation has obviously been wet. And something is, or has been, living underneath it. Something bigger than a mouse. Plenty of animal mess up there, all soaking wet.

One of our friends recommended a builder and I have sent him an email.
Waiting on reply now.
Will have to brave MrSlims filing system to try and find date of reroofing and contact details for the person who did it.
All this without mentioning it to MrSlim who won't be at all pleased about it.View attachment 70252
Nice scores John .4.8 this morning quite happy with that.
Adrian still has pain at times in his right knee and leg and it’s been several years now since he was struck from behind by a drunk driver while walking home one night in Bristol the car they believe was doing in excess of thirty mph maybe more his right leg was injured but he was lucky to survive without more extensive injuries he says the worst thing is the mental thing as even now years later he has a panic attack when a car is approaching from behind.
Perhaps I should have mentioned that I was wearing a dressing gown - truly I wasNot read about nudism being a symptom..mmhh
GPs surgery should be interesting this wave ....
As well as not knowing left from right I have absolutely no sense of direction - which has caused quite a lot of chaos over my lifetime.My directions used to be visual rather than verbal. I do know left from right but tend to stick my hand out to the required direction before I can bring the right word to the fore. Must go back to the old days of indicating directions when driving.
Oh no @SlimLizzy Hopefully it can be sorted quickly.After noting the damage to the render, I started to wonder about other rain related problems, so after the viewers had come and gone, found a ladder and went up in the loft to have a look.

Thank you @jjraak . Yes, we are a tough bunch here on this thread. A force to be reckoned with.Sorry to hear that @Krystyna23040 .
But I suppose the bright side to look at, is we're both here, almost cat like having used up one of our 9 lives.
And in your case I'd say life massively underestimated your determination to return to better health & mobility...bravo.
Thank for the reply.
While not nice another has suffered, it is helpful to get an idea from one who knows the game personally, just how long the road ahead can be with all its unseen twists & turns .
Rather liking Mr k's understated & dry response ..
Of note, is as @Annb States too, like you Lauren also does that hand movement before vocalising her directions.
Makes for an entertaining moment, sliding my eyes off the road as i check to see if her hand and head have had another tiff ..lol
Nice scores John .
Steady as she goes of late.
Agree, very lucky to avoid even more serious issues given the speed .
Sad how impacted we can still be years after.
But not surprising given that initial strike, that our threat level awareness stays at Defcon ONE, even if the worry is overly inflated.
So hard to turn off or reduce what I presume our bodies decide needs to be switched on permanently after it finishes its own inquest into....
A. What went wrong
B. What might have helped
All put into a subconscious survival alert system to avoid a repeat....mmmhh.
Mine is noise
I'm still hyper vigilant, so it horrifies me to see vulnerable road users blissfully putting themselves in danger deciding eyes on the mobile phone is more important than checking for dangers using or crossing the road.
And the organ donor cyclist, dressed all in black (cool colours, bro )
Who opt in the darkness to forgo lighting of any sort as they finesse their 'splinter cell' camouflage skills ....Muppets.
And while I cycle too, I know as a driver how cyclists in such conditions can be almost invisible until a cars almost upon them
But yeah noise.
Chain saw, leaf blower, enginey noises get me returning to the moment.
Deduction & elimination squares it on the moments unconscious after impact, as I believe I was not only hit, but due to injuries consistent with my theory, I was momentarily trapped under van, as driver continued moving in their
" wt* " just happened mode.
Their forward speed was slow, as was mine as I moved past them, but the suddenly unannounced turn right (into me) to take advantage of a gap on the opposing traffic flow, was when the driver just floored it.
Scraping me along the road, scooter wedged under the van, me wedged under the scooter, leg now flip flopping as it breaks and gets twisted by the torsion .
Likely only half a minute, maybe one minute, but the sound of the engine as it must have revved, still seeking that forwards movement impeded by the rather large speed bump now wedged under it ..aka me
Sadly, my brain hasn't let it go and accepted it was only a foot or two under the van
it's likely the.... " what if it's miles " that ensures the terror .
And lives on in the shape of an OMG every time I hear such noises .
Dragging me back until I reassess just where I am and realises it's noisy but not dangerous to me.
I'd say the same is true for Adrian and many others .
Thank you for taking time to relay that, John.
Whilst not good for Adrian, still helpful for me to manage expectations.
Once I get to bottom of the at times excruciating pain, I think I'd settle for the day to day aches & twinges of the post injuries.
Art bit looks good @dunelmGood morning everyone from a damp start to Saturday Market Day here in French Froggy France. Legal stuff yesterday - certified copies and translations. Turned out easier to organise than we thought as the chosen legal translator is known to mum. Her solicitor is taking care of certified copies at only extortionate rate. All will be ready next week. Art bit - a smidge of green. I best go and make some koffy.
