Staying with the booze theme.
Found a huge cache of late season sloes while out with the dog today. Will be off to collect them this week to
make some sloe gin for Christmas.

Bought a couple of tins of This from the Co Op.

Its fecking luuurvly.

Also eating the remains of the kebab from last night for lunch...I feel like a king amongst men

Overheard part of a conversation at work that went like this;
'Yeah, so it turns out my knee is fucked, I'm gonna need an artificial replacement.'
To which the reply was, 'Oh, so your gonna get a plastic leg then?'

The look on the first guy's face was priceless, it kept coming back to me and made me chuckle all day.

Not specifically today, but ever since getting rid of the Bridgestone car tyres that were on my van when I bought it
and swapping them out for Continental Vancontact tyres, it has been like driving a different vehicle. Just need to buy a
5th one for the spare now.

I saw a middle aged German chap trying to learn how to pop wheelies on a mountain bike today.

He looked really sheepish as we passed each other, and then I gave him a thumbs up and he gave a massive grin.

That helped my enjoyment of today.

Was having a major freak-out about a turning-point dental appointment (front teeth treatment).

But the appointment was over before I even had time to panic.

I has a new car, well technically I have to lease it for now but I can and will buy it after one payment.

Picked up the guitar today for the first time in a few months (again ), and happily lost a couple of hours messing around with Rory Gallagher and Led Zep tunes Fuck, I'm rusty! (and so were the strings Nice new set on there now ).

I have an idea...
I thought I'd learn a bit more about the DADGAD tuning, and see if I could apply it to rock on the electric guitar - don't think anyone has made a successful attempt at this before...unless maybe you know different

Meeting up with a mate I have not seen in years, within 5 minutes those years had dissapeared and it was 2010 again.

The sad part was leaving the pub and realising it's 2017.

Mrs grr just bought me dinner. Bad luck for her as it was the first food I'd had all day. Went here - Pomegranate
I had a starter of meatballs, then a spag bol. I also ate half the wifes chicken and pepperoni pizza. washed down with
a couple of bottles of Bath Ales 'Gem'. I am now quite immobilised by food and ale. Lovely.

Fixed a small niggle on the bike: Mr Shop Man had changed the position of the adjustable levers and not told me, excellent.

J.F.K records are online. Should give me something to do for five minutes.

'Actually she spotted a cherry Bakewell and dived on it'

Made me giggle like a school girl.

MY 73 year old dad just downloaded GTA V for his xbox one.

[Howling Terror]

Family member had a successful operation.
Finished a week oncall.
My back muscles are healing.
Got bike insurance cheaper than last year.
New phonograph disc arrived.
The sun is out.

....and more importantly
Took the F4 out for a dirty little ride i.e It needs a wash and yet somehow I put this aside and rode it.

The Orville is back on the box after last weeks skip.

[stonesie]

Dad's car passed it's MOT with no advisory's, not bad for an old peugeot.

And my powder coating is ready to collect on Monday (Wheels for the cage)

I fixed my parent's old microwave owen. All it took to get it working properly again was to clean it. I'm amazed how well this thing was build. It's maybe 18 years old and every bit is serviceable and well marked, with no rivets! There was quite a lot of dust in it, so the potentiometers and some buttons were not working. I only vacuumed the thing, used a electronics parts cleaner and it's as good as new. Even cleaned the digital display and it's cover, the brightness of the display is now mesmerising.
