One of my biggest bugbears is correcting the bad workmanship of others. In this case 4" is a tad excessive for this job when 1.5" would have done nicely. I know why he's used such long screws, didn't pilot drill holes, split the timber, ended up screwing between frame and wall

Turned out to be a strange thing where they injected me with a drug that raised the heart rate and monitored it for 6 minutes. Then injected me with some radioactive liquid that after 30 minutes to circulate shows up under x-ray. Second part next Tuesday.

The worst part of it all was having to lie down and hold my arms tightly above my head for 15 minutes whilst an overhead X-ray screen moves around taking images from all angles of my heart. Then there's a further minute for the CT scan.

Delivering 4 oak gate posts 8" square and 8' long this morning. That'll make the joiner cough a bit when he unloads them, I checked he'd had his Weetabix today 🤣

Walnuts! Not large this year but free. I do a sweep carpark and grounds where the tree is every evening, as fast as I pick them up they are falling off. Andy Coates

There's a belief amongst Gen Z that Pinterest is a catalogue, whatever they see there can be bought off the shelf. I have one at the moment after a waney (live) edge board for an ensuite, wants it now as the plumber is coming next week. All of a sudden it's become my problem🤔

H2 had just lept out and ambushed H1, then made a hasty getaway. This seems to be H2's favourite game when on our daily walks, much to the annoyance of H1.

30yrs ago today a very special person, the most special I've ever met, confirmed in front of our closest friends and family to spend the rest of her life with me. One of us probably deserves a medal and it's not me.

Having these 2500 Brazilian wood parquet floor blocks in the back of the pick-up on Thursday made the steering a tad interesting 🫣 Thankfully the remaining 5000 blocks required for the job are being delivered.

I've had one of those calls where it's a second or two after you answer before they speak, asking for you by name in a foreign accent. My stock answer is fuck off and end the call. Then I remember I'm waiting for a call from the hospital this morning 🫢🫣

She's just been told off for chewing H1's bed, she doesn't like me telling her off, I don't shout, I just use a calm voice. It used to have the same effect on the kids when they were younger, apparently, I'm far scarier when I speak calmly than when I shout 🫣
