Another pointless thread

Er..

...falling off!!!

Bad sprain to left knee, he landed on his head so he's alright..

...I'm going now bfore he hits me with his crutches...

Evening HG, how`s things? I mean there are two issues ongoing for you at the moment. Have you heard about your future? How is the flying future son in law?

Got back from our hols yesterday. Seems I missed HG on the ferry by a day.
Dog retrieved, some of the washing done, some of the e-mail read. Far too nice weather to be sat indoors with photos though.

At least Joe only sprained his knee - when my sister-in-law performed a similar trick she broke her shoulder, arm and leg.

Hope you have had good news about the job HG. Enjoy France.

A similar trick?

Am I missing something?

Is this what is sometimes referred to as 'bedroom athletics' or 'role play'?

Go wash your brain out with soap Gareth. My SIL fell off a loft ladder just as Joe did.

Weather still far too good to sort through holiday snaps

This is fun. Kind of.

Well it's a good way to fill 10 minutes anyway.

B..... Carbon Monoxide Monitor

Decided to go BLEEP didn't it and it then carried on going BLEEP .

Couldn't see how to get in to it - got a lad from over the road [ lovely family who will always help me if needed ]

He came over with a fist full of batteries BUT how to get in the blasted thing ?

We finally did - and guess what - he didn't have the right batteries for it





I did

New batteries now in and peace once again reigns.

Did it occur that your house might be full of carbon monoxide?

The monitors we had were sealed and had to be discarded after something like 3 yrs., if they beeped it meant "You are being gassed" Only have the "new" type now, with a replacable battery

Gareth - that thought did occur - but as the Boiler is not working at present it was not very likely And I think we proved that with the new batteries too. Any stuff would have probably escaped through all the open windows

I think those batteries have been in for a very long time - we had one of the first Scottish Government systems fitted and I don't remember my husband changing the batteries

Great result "Hungary has Talent"

Iain Banks has passed away.

I feel a special loss. I was a huge fan and he was very much a local author.

I still remember the Wasp Factory from shortly after its release. But to start to list all his best books is far too long a list.

RIP

His name sounds familiar and as a sci fi fan I may have read his books, I can never remember authors names though. Nevertheless RIP.

Had an evening listening to Black Dyke last night - mind blowing until they stuffed up with some Glenn Miller trash IMHO! Exceedingly talented muso`s, shame they are dying out. Only 6 brass bands left now in East Yorkshire. Looking at the audience in Ipswich Corn Exchange though it`s no real surprise, I can`t imagine them all being around at Christmas.

Last heard from Joe is he's OK(ish)

as for the job, still waiting...

......which gives an excuse to go into town tonight and drink French stuff.
