My sister was there. She was also seeing him in Holland last week or so

Does Patti Scialfa know...?

Morning all. WFH day. Also @Catman, seems like it should be "wine, opticians, work" or something other than the order you stated. @midlifecrisis I wholeheartedly agree; not sure why these slackers won't work all 7 days like us sensible people...

No raccoons caught on camera or anywhere else overnight, so perhaps the pogrom is working...

How are works going on the house Phil?
Nothing happened the first week we were away which was disappointing but they have been there all this week.
We will see when we get back next weekend.
Could have done with you on the case Newton.

If I didn’t have anything on; collected the van this afternoon, told they had changed the fuel filter and primed it, apparently the old one was completely dry… it restarted and the idled it for 40 minutes. No issue. I got almost home and it repeated the flashing light and limp mode but I managed to get home. Opened the fuel cap and massively pressurised! But now won’t restart.

I called them up and checked on the fuel filter location to see if it had a visual check but apparently not. Guess what? There is the original fuel filter sitting there with all the 103k of dust on it!!! Fecken boils my blood when someone lies to your face! Even charged me for a new one! I got one in sorted I five minutes £27 and it is arriving here in the morning. I’ll change it out and expect them to bring the computer here to prime it for me!

Morning all, no less angry about the van, more kitchen fitting and have to get the house into some sort of shape to have family sleeping over tonight in three rooms, all of which were emptied to be painted yesterday by Jeanette and my assistant! Anyway the house is starting to show a glimmer of improvement.

Have fun all…

Morning from the farm...shearers on the way to shave the baby and do toenails and shots for the others. More hot & nasty weather ahead. Need to change oil in, and wash and wax, the truck...but for some reason it's just not that motivating. Mistakenly ran errands to the farm supply, tool shop, and Lowes Home Improvement in the Spyder...had to unbox items in the last stop's parking lot and drive home with a full trunk/boot; a pole saw sticking up behind the seats; and a battery powered box fan in Courtney's lap...
