Removed an old gas fireplace over the weekend and covered the hole with drywall (my gas guy had already capped the line further back, I know not to mess with explodey things). All went pretty smoothly except now I have to do a bunch of sanding and mudding and painting, which I hate.
I’ll be a decorator again in the new year. I’ll nip round on my day off.
I have no shortage of people who could do it for me, I'm just too cheap/poor to do things that I have both the time and ability to do for myself. At least it's in my den, so I can do it while I have a game of some description on.
Despite my journey back from Manchester Airport taking 4 hours on Sunday due to flooding, Transport for Wales have just rejected my compensation claim for £12.50.
That’s because Manchester isn’t in Wales. Duh.
Currently on a Blue Monkey pub tour, all 4 Organ Grinders plus the brewery and the Waggon and Horses at Bleasby. Newark and Loughborough
done and on our way to the brewery now.I like the Loughborough one.
Yes, me too. First time I have been there. Just leaving the brewery at Giltbrook now. Alfreton Road, Arnold, Bleasby and back to Newark to go.
If Stuart Broad or Mary Earps don't win SPOTY this is going to be the worst day for Nottingham since they took the fountains out.
The fountains were bad enough, but losing the loos at the end were the final straw
They've both got Nottingham trams named in their honour, anything after that's an anticlimax.
Earps has a trophy to go with her tram.
Moved some money about as I prepare some January transfer window housing swoopage.
Kuudos if you buy a Portuguese one.
Painted a wall of my den. It turns out that I do not, in fact, want walls painted in a warm tone of light pink.
Played football last night followed by end of season awards, at the strat.
Scored a goal from about two inches out. Keeper spilled it under pressure 'it came out like a bar of soap in the shower.' As he dived down on it, I moved it sideways so that he missed. As I then tried to hammer it home from about a foot, a defender came across and block tackled. An attempt to tap it in was also intercepted, and the ball ran loose sideways which I elegantly finished with the ball already kissing the line (deeply regret not throwing in a pirouette backheel finish).
I vociferously argued that it should be the recipient of the goal of the season award. 'When do you ever have four good touches from a yard out?'.
No awards for me. Again. Fix.
