@Sam1199 ’s post about the car museum reminded me that we stumbled across this yesterday on the way to the museum. Dread to think how much…
Found out that the sap from fig trees, both branches and leaves, is not nice when you get it on your skin whilst lopping branches off the damn thing, a bit burn / itch type of feeling
At Barcelona airport waiting to fly home 20⁰C+ most of the day, expecting -1⁰ when we get home later tonight Andy
Had someone drive into the back of my work van today whilst it was parked and I was unloading a kitchen, not sure how you can do that ? I reckon he was on the phone. 10sec earlier I was by the back doors so lucky I guess. He was a large gentleman from the travelling community, so surprised he stopped really. Even more luckily a police car came around the corner 30 seconds after it all happened. To everybody's amazement he had insurance!. It can always be worse and nobody was hurt, the van is only a few months old but the boss man was fine with it .
Old Hotpoint Kettle started playing up so went to curry’s and bought a new one (not a Hotpoint). Can now make tea again
Quooker? Just been looking at one. A combination of hot/ cold and boiling all in one tap. It does take a fair bit of room from storage under the sink though. Thinking of installing one in the new kitchen. Have to convince the Mrs first.
With how often I have to descale the kettle down here I dread to think what the water would do to a £2k tap! A mate looked at one and Quooker advised their filter system which is another £300 + £320 a yr in filters or getting them out to service it every 6 to 12 months.
You can get equally good ones for £250-300 (and yes I know you can buy an awful lot of kettles for that but they are much more useful than a kettle. And filters are £30 for a year.
That bloody Jeremy Clarkson in his Lamborghini tractor on the way to London yesterday no doubt...........
