I took Kinky Girl strawberry picking today. She claims to have never done it before, but rapidly learned about 'quality control testing' while you pick :)

Still getting variable results. Still fun practising.

Ah, wondered what these were. There is one on that god awful insurance advert with the two prats dancing.

Best not let it go mouldy then!

 

That's called a Blue Waffle.

Two fantastic tennis matches yesterday utterly destroyed my productivity. Working on the same machine that you're trying to watch tennis on is not ideal. Meant I missed a few key moments while dealing with emails and exciting* spreadsheets. An utter joy to watch though.

 

Then went to the pub. Unsurprisingly, it was rather busy with the footy on. Didn't see much of the match, just enough to see one player (Portuguese) rolling around on the floor in agony*. If it's that bad, they should ship the f*ckers straight to bloody hospital. There was disappointment, but the locals merely enjoyed what had been achieved by Wales, then drank more beer and had a nice, quiet time.

Had a right result yesterday as I sold the combicamp trailer tent on ebay for a 150 quid profit. They collected it and paid up with no issues. Wish I had the same luck selling my cars

I've just collected a muthaload of kids toys from freecycle! Really could have done with the XM, nearly had to make 2 trips

 

1 massive box of thomas trains and track (and a mahoosive sheet of MDF which they used to lay it on and slide under a bed, gave that to my stepdad), a car garage with ramps, noises and stuff, and a pirate ship outdoor water table that just needs a clean

 

God bless rich idiots! Should make ££ at the car boot with it if the kids get bored of it too next year

Maybe they're less rich idiots and more generous. We all know the pain of selling on eBay, giving stuff away is surely better all round of you don't need the cash

That is a good point, I retract my last sentence!

Just had a ride up the road in my mates Chevy Monte Carlo SS. It is a right animal with a button to hold the front brakes for doing burnouts !!!! I will have to get some photo's later as it is a very fetching shade of beige

New radiator for the Volvo arrived 4 hours earlier than expected, thank you D A Motor factors in Dundee.   :)

The new radiator was the correct one for the car.   :)

It took an hour from getting the tools out to putting them away, this also included running up to temperature and getting any air out.   :)

Finally the offers of help from people on here who I met for the first time ever just over six months ago.   :)

 

All systems are go for the massive family wedding piss up at the weekend!

This thing really looks docile until you poke it.

Even the sump is chromed and the exhausts are the size of drainpipes.

It was mrs fp's nans funeral yesterday, I have put it into grin because I was told to directly follow the hearse and limo in my saph I presume because its black and very shiney, when we got to the crematorium the hearse driver stopped got out to greet me and the first words out of his mouth were how lovely my saph was and how he wanted to ask mrs fp's grandad at his home whose it was but he thought he might have found it distasteful, the hearse and limo were presented beautifully they were both Coleman milne converted Saab 9-5 (dame Edna type), the service and flowers were beautiful and when it was all over we went away to the pub and drank like we have never drank before to send her off, me and mrs fp's dad were wankered, i think the old girl would have been proud of the whole day

Car-wise, today has been a rollercoaster of a day. Confusing, perplexing and a tad chaotic. Ultimately good though.

You know those times when you pick a space away from all the other cars on the far side of the car park, and then come back to find people parked on either side of you? I had that today. Except it made me grin because on one side it was a Suzuki Cappuccino and on the other a D-reg Rover 820. It's not often I'm in the least shite car...
