She had me sitting in the lounge in my pants while she hang up my clothes to dry. 😀 Bit of a shock for her flat mate Sally but as a ICU nurse like my sister Jan she has seen it all.😀 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizondave Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Sitting on my balcony, my last night, looking for shooting stars. So far it is one shooting star, one satellite and a couple of planes flying to israel and Jordan.

boydeste Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Up early today, on my local lake you have to attend a work party every year and today it's weed raking. Going to be hard work, but it looks to be dry, so hopefully stay that way. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my yoof, a mate got "travel sick" on a journey back from the pub... opened the window and threw up down the side of my mgbgt. Most of it went outside, but some blew onto my wax jacket (fortunately) that was lying in the back. When we returned home, he got a bucket of water and a sponge and started to wash it off the side car, until he dropped the sponge on the gravel driveway and proceeded to scratch the paint beyond a simple coat of polish. He wasn't offered a lift home again. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i couldn't get it apart, now the plan is changing the tap - not cheap for a kitchen mixer tap. Get a plumbers socket If it's rusted in you can remove both parts (nut and bolt) together. you can get a replacement tap from about £40 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
