Thanks Leo. No not big or semi-big this time, although I will tell my granddaughters when they arrive shortly that I am 21. They seem to believe me less each year.
If your age this year is not an even number then I am sure you could express your age as 21 in say Base 36 (= 2x36 + 1) If it is even you can still say last year you were 21 My son is emigrating to Australia. He is currently on a flight over Turkey on his way to a stop off in Qatar. Watching his progress on Flight Radar etc
appy belated on OFH. Who´s turn is it for the Tottenham match day thread? I have spoilt the nice triangle turn taking we had going! Sorry!
Now you are back Mex and I will not be around this weekend, maybe you will do it. Thanks for the good wishes.
Morning, Dave; morning, all. It looks bright through the blinds, but I haven't ventured out of bed yet.
An unpleasant post-Christmas present in the kitchen this morning. Water dripping steadily through a light fitting, probably from a central heating pipe under the bathroom floor. Plumber's not answering his phone of course. Not what you need when you're expecting more viewings from prospective house buyers!
A diplomatic dose of flu until a plumber can be found I suspect. A similar thing happened to me in England on a Christmas Day. Phoned my plumber who came within ten minutes, lifted the carpets and floorboards, froze the split pipe, cut it out and put a new piece in. Relaid the boards and carpet and had left within half an hour. I asked him for his bill and he told me that as he hadn't missed his dinner there wouldn't be one.
Better news, Frenchie. He phoned back 10 minutes after I posted, was here in 45 (nipping off from the bigger job he was on), located a leaking valve in a toilet downpipe, cut the pipe, replaced it, and was on his way in less than an hour. Much relief here...just got to seal and paint over the stain on the freshly painted ceiling some time in the next day or two. Just time to type this before setting off to collect younger daughter from the station.
Today is Avoidance Friday The day when Yorkie puts together his tax return for his accountant (Mme Yorkie) At the moment she is sleeping.... Let her have a good long sleep
It has been cold and foggy here all day. Snow showers now being forecast for 1st January. It can cut that out.
