I'll gladly wave it goodbye after last weeks stifling heat. I might even celebrate with a cooked breakfast today

Good morning all Those of us living near the coast with the sea gulls, does anyone else gets problems from them? Most mornings when I go out to the V6, it’s been bombed with bird feathers and nasty poop, although it is nice to hear them.
One of our nephews popped into see us for supper. He is a canny lad and has been scrimping and saving since the age of 8. He had some good news, he’d saved £50,000 to put down as a deposit for his first house. He is applying for a mortgage to buy a house in Filton. I suggested he keeps 10K back for unexpected bills. The second bit of good news is that he has been promoted by Dyson to lead a team of accountants for special projects. The 3rd bit of good news, is he will happily take one of my tool kits off my hands. Jessica has been complaining about my tools .....hooray!! Last edited by Gate Keeper; 27th July 2019 at 07:58.. |

This morning I have to go out and collect my weekly takings, that I didn’t get a chance to last night, then change the front brake discs and pads on the van,as they are really worn. It’s raining here today and forecast for tomorrow, typical when it’s Sunderland air show this weekend.

The cost of housing these days is something else. How can youngsters get on the property ladder if they don’t have a job with good prospects and don’t have enough money. I am sorry, I don’t know the answer. |
