You are being very optimistic Matt! Too chilly here still at night to be without heating of some sort. It is going to go below freezing at night here again this coming week too.
Sorry to hear about the K7. I hope it can be fixed soon.

My watch broke yesterday. I only got it for Christmas, but the metal lugs that hold the strap have broken. So that is going back to Amazon on Monday. They have agreed a refund since they don't have the model any more.
I really liked that watch.
I am good at killing watches though expensive ones which just die, or seize up because they are no longer waterproof after a year, but they forget to tell you you need to change the rubber seal , and I forget just once to take it off under the shower .
Cheapo ones too bite the dust fairly quickly, again they just die on me, having set off my nickel allergy.
This one was a titanium one and just about perfect. Now to find another titanium watch that doesn't cost a fortune.

They were pretty amazing weren't they .

Knut has died. He was only 4. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12796359

HG - I had an aunt who used to say it's five o'clock somewhere before drinking down her G&T on a Sunday morning, after early mass .
Afaik she never drank to excess, and wasn't an alcoholic - she just enjoyed an early G&T. If I'd had to put up with my cousins like she did I'd probably have had a few too.

Thank you again Archie. I am even more impressed with the 18-135 now.

Hopefully the price will drop a bit more so I can add it rather than replace something with it.

Luckily we don't have such things here. They know everything about us anyway without the need for more form filling.

I filled in the census once when we lived in the UK. My husband was away on business so it fell to me to fill it in. Horrible job.
The problem with the online form sounds fairly typical sadly. They don't test these things enough before they go live.

Looks like my nose when it's snotty to me .

I like it

Seriously though - please make a donation to RND.

5GBP will provide a mosquito net to help prevent a child from getting malaria.

You can donate online at the BBC website.

That's funnier than most of the comedy on tonight

Thank you Archie. What a nice house btw!

I am more tempted than ever now. But something will have to go first I fear.
