reb Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 For a very long time now I've struggled to have any sort of sleeping pattern, the time I'd sleep would drift around the day somewhat randomly, and sometimes I'd miss a night of sleep altogether. But for the past week I've successfully been in bed and asleep by around 9pm (including one day where I lay down to charge my phone at 6pm, fell asleep and woke up at 4am) and been awake and out of bed between 5 and 7am. Doesn't sound like much, but it's something I've struggled with for a long time, even when I was working. I'm still largely doing bugger all, but I feel much better, I feel like I'll actually be able to achieve something with my time now. It also shows that coffee wasn't as much of the problem as I'd assumed; I drank shitloads yesterday right up to 7pm and I was asleep by 9 and woke up at 6. All of this has been without a single alarm! Neil clark, Merryck, Dyslexic Viking and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 My mum has been in Australia for a few weeks. She's just been round to show me holiday photos (most of which I'd seen on Facebook already, but that's ok) and drop off the things she bought me there. We have a tshirt that says Perth on it, a beer coozie the same, koala socks, and the best part: Like a penguin but better! The 0.5 star health rating = delicious.

reb Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 My review of them is such: like a penguin but better, but not enough better to actively seek them out.

RoverFolkUs Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Went down to the tame MOT station at last knockings today to pick up a car, and what should be sat on the ramp waiting to be tested first thing in the morning was a really clean looking Rover 75 Made my day, hardly see the things in for repair these days. I recognised the reg as it's a local car which I'd actually done some work on a few years ago. Nice to see it's still around serving someone faithfully. Fingers crossed given how clean it still looked it shouldn't give much bother MOT wise! Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustybullethole Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Am not sure how this wheel achieved this level of patina or indeed why but i kinda like it. It holds air better than the red one on the other side too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked even cleaner than I thought I asked the tester how it did... "Write off" Sounds like it needs suspension arms all around 😕 I've said to him colour me interested at scrap money if that's how it goes... If the owner doesn't want to get it fixed and doesn't want silly money for it, I'll save it.

Saabnut Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 War has broken out between my neighbour and myself! All the major roads around here have been closed since the storm (although one - the A90 - has patially opened today) so all the shops are empty of food. Yesterday, on the way back home, I stopped to talk to my neighbour Dave and told him about the situation. He said he was lucky, his daughter had brought his stocks in at the weekend, so he was fine except for bread. I told him that as I was away until the storm hit, stocks were low but I had the freezer to fall back on. Dave immediately nipped into his house and came back with a pile of lamb chops from one of his animals (the rest was about to go in his freezer before you say anything ). Last night, after my dinner of lamb chops I made some bread and some cheese scones, so this morning I went to see Dave and gave him a loaf and some scones. Dave has just been down and dropped some veg in to me as he had been lifting some for himself Two types of tatties, beetroot, carrots and parsnips. Dave is currently winning the war, not sure what else I can do for him to level the score! When I read of people on here having trouble with their neighbours, I realise how lucky I am to have neighbours like I do! fairkens, nomiST, Rust Collector and 25 others 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only trouble I have with a neighbour is his fascination in destroying the hedge between us , which I planted just before they moved in about 30 years ago. Considering we live on a hill side and my house over looks his, I can’t understand his motives as it gives him privacy by stopping me looking directly into his house.
