Hump Day everyone and Ms French working from home not so easy with everything going on.
I've got the Mini Cooper Supercharged to crack on with but have the wrong water pump and the customer asked if I could put the old one back on a 18 year old car :(
No chance and after his numerous attempts of putting mechanics in a bottle it's at his risk I'm doing the job.
Have a Great day all.

Hello everyone!
About to head to LGW to head to Amsterdam for a couple of nights in Apeldoorn. Never been there before so looking forward to it.
Gmail has become very slow at receiving some emails with messages from our mortgage broker and solicitor assisting to come in the middle of the night. This isn't helpful!
HapPea Wednesday! xXx
Well you're fooked, I'm in....but I believe, a full-ish contingent of tin-pushers which apparently is important as we're in the news again!!! (Still not my fault!)

Good Morning everyone...it's only bladdy PAY DAY!!!!!!!

Early start as I head to London for our monthly board meeting, I like tj get to twin and have breakfast and chill before the meeting starts.

A promised pre op X-Ray for my son did not materialise yesterday evening so I suspect the operation is not being brought forward, he had a comfortable night though.

Hope to fit in a bike ride late afternoon as the weather looks fine.

Enjoy your days

Morning all - and 9 years ago today I went to Huddersfield and met my bundle of fun - Roary who was then a tatty ratty - but now thanks to much tlc from SI he's a happy chappy and off to join some stable mates for the forum's German foray so none of them need worry about ending the day last :)

If you can just make sure there's sufficient pushers there on Thursday, that would be super, ta! ;)

And Sunday morning please; will be heading west for sum R&R…

Morning all, good luck to the bunch off to the continent. Hoping for improvement in Scaf Jnr’s treatment. Me, I’m off to tour the delights of Lewisham, Tooting, Marylebone and then to a meeting in Holborn this afternoon and evening, after supper I’m driving to Mansfield for an overnight. It is going to be a late one.

Have fun all…

Morning all and smells like progress from here. Fortunately received early release from board meeting...at 1030p. Back at it. Drizzle...hope to be home before 7p tonight.

Also have white coat syndrome and can attest to annoyances associated with that...

Hump day it is.

Good morning all. Off today as taking Dan my eldest to a concert at the o2 in London. Never heard of who is going to see. Myself and Liz will go out for a meal while he is the gig and back home tomorrow.

Morning all, got hoe to a power cut last night so takeaway Pizza by candlelight & torchlight

View attachment 119359

Hmm… sounds familiar Andy, we are still on a generator with a broken supply. Half way through my meeting in London last evening, my phone (on silent) lit up with calls from Jeanette as the power company had called to say they would be attending to complete investigations on the cable at 19.00 and would be digging up my driveway! Eventually I gave up on the meeting and drove a mercy dash home, I arrived 2-minutes ahead of the team leader to fined three band, a 5t excavator and a bunch of Eastern Europeans standing looking at the driveway not wanting to scratch it. They absolutely don’t want to cut through the resin bound (rightly so) and I agreed that the granite sets could be taken up around it ok but they were not convinced. The problem being that they have to dig a metre away from the live mains under the pavement and then follow the dead cable to the fault once they establish the fault point. So I ended up taking a metre square of the sets up myself for them! As we were getting underway, there was an explosion at the top of the road where builders had installed a new fence and it seems they had damaged a cable (curious that that may well be our fault) anyway they all shot off to deal with that as it was actively blowing up every few minutes and making a large hole! So we now still have a generator and now a hole in the drive too. It is progress I suppose. I then drove to J28 of the M1 for my overnight.

Morning all, up to Tyneside for a couple of days to the factory to sort some new gym products.

Have fun all…
