I can't remember that but if it was then yes. Likewise no children when we went, in fact very few folk in I seem to recall, but it was a long time ago. We are terrible or good museum users depending on where you stand. We certainly explore and read as much as they've got on display. Often being the last to leave. Never overstaying I know how hard it is to clear overstayers when you want to go home!

Posted on 22/01/2021 17:17 by Bakers2Yes it's a smart TV. We haven't used DVD for years and years, but OH memory not what it was, claims he'd watched something in last couple of months 😉.
We have Virgin so record on that. Just renewed Virgin for 18 months, wished I had read my crystal ball better...... but heyhoe iys only money and we ain't spending it on much else - unless you count, TV, boiler new toilet 🤣🤣
Takethedogalong dog prices are crazy at present, I do hope the breeders are declaring their profits to HMRC 😯. OH cousin has agreed to buy golden lab puppy ready early February, no black ones - around a litter they were inline for all 10 were still born 😢😢, they lost one of their black one last summer 😢. Having agreed breeder upped price a couple of weeks later, her husband was all for saying no way but she's had a stroke and like my OH finding recovery tough so decided they'd pay the sillier money. I believe the breeder is a vet! Dog thefts are frightening and something I'm very aware of when walking our cockerpoo! I love the tale of your BIL's dog and grooming 😱. Couldn't agree more on poodle show styles 🤣🤣🤣
JVB good news on your jabs. If you've only bought a basic microwave it should be fairly straightforward. Everything is more expensive to repair than replace and then some folks wonder why we're trashing the planet 😤
We've both mastered, dont be too cocky!, our new TV remote.

Posted on 22/01/2021 17:53 by Goldie146Talking of vaccinations - we had the vet here today. She said she’s getting trained to give the jabs in the new vaccination centre that’s being setup. ( Town centre shopping centre - not many shops open at the best of times).
re washing up with a long AI glove on my bandaged arm - only a partial success as it sprang a leak, but it kept my dressing dry. I’ll have to throw it out, but having just paid some bills I know they are only about £10 a hundred

Posted on 21/01/2021 22:12 by ABMSnow cleared in Crewe -- indeed by the time I'd posted that it was here { 24 hours ago } it was more or less over
. but threats of more of everything 'orrid for sometime next week -- typically the crikit test v Sri Lanka starts tomorrow at about four in the morning { no singing puleese
} so all chance of lazy mornings will be long gone when it starts falling

OI, Who are you calling an Old Cricketer Please ?? Might be getting older by the minute, but very few who watched me perform { Lower order bat, Occasional 'keeper, bowled 'Flighted Filth' as Alvin Kallicharran was accused of ! } would ever dignify me with the title 'Cricketer' I can assure you 
.
Seems strange to listen to commentators working from home over a match in Sri Lanka.

Posted on 22/01/2021 21:52 by nelliethehookerHope you enjoyed the first day, Brian. Was just listening to "When an old cricketer leaves the crease" by Roy Harper, when I read your post, how very appropriate.

Posted on 22/01/2021 16:52 by JVB66Both had our vacine jabs today ,both went in together so only one set of questions
Microwave would cost more to mend than a new one (it is/was15yrs old)
i had just learnt how to use it

Lucky you....still waiting for ours, we have a ferry Portsmouth-Caen booked for 13th Mar, going to have to knock that on the head as judging by your dates we will not have had 2nd vaccination until late April/early May, France kicking off again re blocking our imports so might just give that a miss in total this year.
Had to renew rear wiper on OH's car yesterday, cost me £140 
, went to Halfords, charming young lady asked if she could fit it for me, steady now, wiper blade that is, of course i said yes, then she asked me the usual, when due for service, mot etc, as they are some way off she asked if i would like a mini service £15, so like a sucker i said yes, turned out battery was almost knackered, had been a bit dodgey starting but put it down to cold, £104 for new battery, fitted of course, suppose cant complain too much battery is 15 years old, them South Koreans do make things to last.
Even if it did cost me £140, it was a pleasant half hour and hopefully it will help to keep somebody employed.

Quite a bit of the white stuff falling.
The roofer turned up as planned, made a few of those inward sucking noises, usually means it's going to cost more than you thought.
Funnily enough Brue I was thinking that there will be a few no shows today due to the weather so I might be cheeky and ask if they want to get rid of one when I take MiL this afternoon....
