A man after my own heart. Sadly my man-math calculator is currently under repair. High on my list to test when it gets new batteries though

My man maths calculator currently works for replacing the Jag (subject to a bit of work coming in imminently), the man maths calculator for a toy has currently been confiscated and replaced with a house calculator.
Whilst the house calculator is being used no other calculator is allowed. :(

These single threaded relationships, huh. There's a nice(ish) looking S-Class on the same site as that DB9. But even lower than Jaaaaaaag money

Morning, world! Today, some calls and some mucking about outside.

Oddly, today also turned out to be a surprise St Bin's Day. He already collected the garden stuff on Tuesday, and then came and did it again today.

Sing along now, "oh, I wish it could be Bin's Day every da-a-ay", etc.

I just got a suprise delivery, I found a replacement bulkhead for the VW T6 van (part removed by previous owner and part damaged in my crash and not repaired). As I'm getting a raised floor and racking they insist on a full bulkhead being in place. VW is circa £300+ VAT, Gumtree find £50 out of a brand new van :D found yesterday lunchtime and paid + delivery 14.00 from near Inverurie, arrived here pre 11.00!!! That is real service.

Good Morning (UTC!) everyone.

Well I'm now SEAT-less for the first time in 17 years. Not much of a claim but it's the second longest marque that I've owned, first being Kawasaki, and third being Maserati. The next daily is not due to arrive till next thursday so I have to slum it in the GT Sport...life is so unfair!

Are you interested......Played it cool while I asked a couple of questions before saying yes....

Awaiting contract....

Good job, Dave, well done. Where's this one - local, or far away?

Local (ish) still 28 miles from home though, actually can see the plant from my office.....

Yes MLC - Will keep it cool - the role is until June 2021, present one is Sept 2020, but the new company has far more other contracts that I could move onto. The present company has none and they wont win this contract again. Indeed tricky times...

late morning.... well now afternoon ahem.. WFH today and counted as day 129 since we closed our offices due to Covid. So today mainly biting my lip and trying not to just quit my role during multiple TEAMS meetings listening to noise. Staying on point made easier by time slicing car hunting in readiness for threatened return to work on Oct 5th . Currently also deflecting the "boss", aka Mrs Manc5, from her business plan to do me out of car money by somehow trying to convince me that adding an orangery to the house has more use than another car... she pulled that one on me 2 years ago also when she extended the day room so i am prepared with that wife trader mag from pic of the day as my screen saver . Have a good one :)

Depends on how proper you’re going with the orangery. I’ve always fancied Christmas dinner in shorts in a palm house.
