That’s very Forest of Dean. Making Lincolnshire seem sophisticated since 1347.

I was doing the prescription deliveries.

Astra touched areas thoroughly anti bac cleaned, me masked up and gloved aswell, knocking and leaving the prescription on the step or on a nearby ledge then walking a few metres back. Obviously leaving something low down on a doorstep isn't ideal for most people of age.

Two lady's appeared at one address  and I was called a "lovely young man"

Couldn't help but think of this

My long day is about to get quite a bit shorter.

I wonder if that prevents the tailgate from opening?

Can't  be very nice for the poor dog breathing in the manky diesel fumes

My windscreen excess is only £50 rather than £75!

Small things make the mood lift!

Indeed. Is that even legal? And even if it is, there’s got to be good argument that it’s not great for the dog’s welfare. It’s not quite the same as having your dog on the bed of your pick up.

I suspect it saves the car's occupants from breathing in manky, farty or muddy dog fumes.

I doubt that he's too happy being the rear crumple zone either.

I just bought this. Been after one for nearly a decade. 1950's "touch control" Royal electric typewriter. It's jammed up solid but the motor still runs (no keys work because the auto-repeat space button is stuck down- to the right of the space bar).

 

Bought it to do envelopes because computer printer are horrible at it. I miss having a decent typewriter.

Home made parking sensor. When it yelps he knows he's far enough back.

Front loader machines are just becoming popular here. I've got a top loader with a fully mechanical selection dial. 

It'll try to migrate to the other side of the room if there's something in it that's unbalanced (which is the correct way).

Reminds me of this. ?

That looks like a proper museum piece. I think I still have a 1980s IBM "golfball" electric typewriter in the shed. Those things weighed a ton.

This totally confused me just now, not the gazebos, but the music which decided to override the music already playing, from my phone  to the bluetooth speaker in the kitchen.

Yes, it is a bit. But they're well made, back from when Royal was absolutely dominating the market. They also came in fun pastel colors. Very very fifties.

I still remember one of our typists having problems with her golfball typewriter, after muttering at it for a while, she picked it up and dropped it on the floor, saying "Oh dear, I think it's broken"

Very few dogs are strapped in properly I reckon, and most would end up flying through the front screen in an accident, so i wonder if the risk is higher?

I've gone through loads of youtube stuff lately - Car youtube, Machinist youtube, BBQ youtube, people building wind and water turbines, people wild camping all over the peak and lake districts. There's a load of tradesmen who do videos on their electricianng/building/plumbing stuff which is very interesting to me.

Today I'm watching an australian bloke rod shit and fat out of some blocked drains. Amazing!

Wait until you move onto culvert clearing, it's mesmorising!

90+% of it is fucking wet wipes; they are an abomination and a environmental crimewave, whoever invented 'flushable' wetwipes can get in the sea.
