Yawn yawn, wakey wakey Autumn 2018

Aloha everyone,

Last night the car was frosted when I was coming home from bridge. It's a bit nippy out there now.

When I got home one of the fuses had tripped out, apparently when a light bulb blew in the lounge, and Mrs Shiney said the lights had been out all evening. Some of these modern bulbs seem to do that when they go I just tripped it back in and shall put a new bulb in today - if I have one.

Keep well and have a great day

Aloha!

 

Good mid morning just taken Penny and Tiny for a long walk across the fields ,it was most invigorating,Mrs Woo has the central heating on,I'm afraid Woo and central heating don't get,it must be all those years travelling on the roads breathing in the fresh air,I just love the feel of the cold wind on my face,but I have a room in Woos nest with the radiators turned off and the window open,anyway enjoy your day my friends

 

Good morning all my friends,it doesn't feel so cold this morning,its only 32 days until Christmas,have a good day and don't look back only look forward

 

Aloha everyone,

We have the electrician coming today and he's running a whole new cable, and new fuse, to the switches that supply power to our bathroom. It kept tripping out the fuse as, apparently, the extra load on that fuse (which is the fuse for elsewhere as well) was too much. It means running a new cable from the switch, in an airing cupboard outside the room, up through the cupboard, into the loft, across the loft and down into another fusebox in the hall cupboard that has a spare space. We have two loft hatches at different ends of our bungalow as one goes into the loft over the extension we had built 42 years ago. The old end wall is still there so he will have to drill through it to run the cable.

On the up side - both lofts have built in ladders and a floor and lighting. So he won't have to struggle to work up there. He said that has saved us £70 on his bill. He said he shall have a look at a few other things that aren't quite right that have been too small items to call an electrician in for.

Milder outside this morning.

Keep well and have a great day

Aloha!

 

Good afternoon @Flumpy my friend I am sure that everything will be fine tomorrow for your Dads operation,please keep us updated with his progress

 

Neither have I, but I'm thinking of applying for a loan from the Bank for the cost of the postage stamps I might get chance to sort some cards out on Sunday and see if I have enough in my Christmas card box or have to go out and get some more. I suggested to my friends that we write the greetings in pencil and then the following year rub out the penciling, rewrite the greeting and send the cards back.......but nobody seemed to like the idea.
The landscaper is coming on Sunday with samples of the cobbles to be laid on the patio, etc, next week, so the kettle will be on.

 

I haven't even bought cards yet!
