Another pointless thread

Are you staying over for the Glasgow meet Gareth?

As for booze I have just enjoyed a rather large THINGY and lemonade, I say THINGY because the wife informed me (after it was three quarters down the hatch) she made it with the remains of the Jamesons and added a bit of Bells, so I cant call it a Whiskey and Lemonade or a Whisky and Lemonade either, I am so confused and upset I've had to have a couple of bottles of Hoegaarden to settle my nerves

Mr Spider - sounds a good mixture Hope the Hoegaarden has helped

I'm actually just having some 'Black Bottle '. I felt in need of it and couldn't justify opening a bottle of Glenfiddich just for me .

My watch broke late Friday evening. My husband sent an e-mail straight off to Amazon about it and got a reply the same evening - at gone 11pm.

Saturday we got an e-mail with the details of how to return it. Monday I posted it, yesterday another e-mail to say it had arrived and we'd get our money back. Today money credited to credit card.

Fantastic service from Amazon, TNT and Royal Mail.

Now to find another titanium watch.

I think I've already arranged to be a taxi driver for a number of people. They might be annoyed if they have to walk back to Edinburgh!

I don't think expensive watches and I are a good mix. Which is why I'm currently wearing a £10 Amazon special (labelled as "Terrain Boardrider" or similar - it's analog and has a webbing strap rather than the metal ones which tend to pinch me, all I need!)

Me and any watch is a bad mix, but I still like one. Before the titanium one I had one which cost €10. Trouble is webbing and leather irritate my skin, though not as badly as nickel does - that really sets me itching. The €10 watch got abandoned when my wrist began to swell

The titanium was just great. Until it broke .

It wasn't very expensive either - I'd hoped he buy me a solar powered one, but he knows what I'm like with watched so saved his money .

He had a look at CDG today but said all they had there was bling. So we'll keep looking. I know none of the jewellers around here have titanium watches.

Emma & Jane bought me a Pulsar Titanium 100m Kinetic for my 60th - steel expanding bracelet and never been off my wrist - pretty accurate too - great product and much treasured.
You can keep your Rolex etc

Sounds great Tony!

On the beech in the sun yesterday, today on the forum because its poring with rain.

Good old English weather.

Currently dry with high thin cloud this end of the country .

Looks like we had a little overnight precipitation.


Steve

We actually have some sun !!

I've some daffodils out at last

Took the camera + 35 mm out to see if I could get some reasonable shots [ ever optimistic that's me ] took a few and then got the dreaded message

"Card Full " - now to go upstairs and get a new card down

It's cloudy today after a glorious week of sun. More sun tomorrow too. And warm. 16-18C. Lovely.

Now TT we are relying on you conjuring up some good weather for April - you know that don't you .
Long term forecast for Glasgow is 10C and showers for the Thursday before the meet. I'm going to keep an eye on it!

Just watched the boat race in my evening break, interesting, but no one sank!

I watched it too, well bits of it in between cooking. I enjoyed it. My team won .
F1 season finally kicks off tomorrow too. I hope all the changes made lead to more interesting races.
Not sure I'll be up to watch it live with the clocks changing and losing an hours sleep.

I need to be up to watch the F1!!!

I'll be travelling across to Lancaster to meet my daughter and see Mrs Hardings lad in the evening.
