MiL is registered blind
Sheâs off to elder sister on 2 weeks holidays.
Mrs P_F is working.
Itâs 32C.
I have safely taken MiL into town, put her on the right train.
Now sitting on the Rattler home, 1980 vintage. No A/C rammed to rafters and still 7 minutes before it leaves.
I am 4kg lighter than when i left home without taking a dumpâŚ

The Grandchildren are away in Ireland with SiLâs folks.
Daughter had a Hotel Stay/Spa voucher as a present at Christmas she hadnât used.
After some running around they legged it to the Spa Hotel for 2PM check in.
Headed straight to the Pool.
She had to queue for her G&T.
Having parked on the sunbed, she was hit with the realisation that something was not quite ârightâ
The Pool area was packed with (her words) fvcking hell young males in matching Speedos.
SiL went for more G&T got chattting.
Daughterâs slot for the Sauna came up - off she went, it had one space.
As she just messaged me.
Sauna with England Rugby Team 
Sil just collected autographs.

Bathroom planning âexperts/consultantsâ.
We have now consulted with two - names shall remain unknown.
We have a fully tiled bathroom, and basically want the bath replaced with a walk in shower.
No. 1 said I will have to remove all the tiles. We said we donât want any tiles removed - waste of money (we had already ascertained you can fix aqua panels to tiles, and you make up the area where the bath was with plaster/plasterboard). Towards the end of the discussion, the fitter asked âwhat is happening to the rest of the walls, are they going to be painted?â No says we - they are tiled. Bloke was as thick as pigshit, and would never have been allowed anywhere our bathroom.
No. 2 was told over the phone that we DID NOT want any tiles removed, but still came to do a survey! Told us we would have to remove the tiles! And then said they could not arrange the fitting! They did say that they were really only interested in a full fit out in the ÂŁ8,000 to ÂŁ10,000 range. For a shower instead of a bath?
Bunch of cunts.
We will scour the internet and other forms of contact, and find a plumber who will do what we want, and be grateful for the work - like the one who has just done the very same thing for a friend.

Ask that person?
We had a lot done to bathrooms at Cobham Towers pre-Covid a while back - all done brilliantly and at a good price, but they all went back to Poland and stayed there.
Good luck I
My 2018 Samsung needs a ew batrery before Rome.
Mrs P_F ordered it. ÂŁ20 inc fitting.
Shop called today, come in after 13:00 should take 20 minutes.
Went in by bus to avoid Friday holiday traffic horrors.
Battery hadnât arrived + he needs 4 hours to fit charge & test.
So an hour of stifling bus wankery ÂŁ3.20 down the pan, got to repeat on Monday

Get a gripâŚit is August after all. 
Indeed. Youâd think after eight months theyâd have taken that down.
Was that your house Phil? 
We need water on the garden. So in answer to your question
Those strikes were 360 around us non stop for about an hour. And nothing, not a drop of rain nor a breath of wind at us.
Carnage on some roads around here though

Just found out that the drugs I am taking are Class C and have a street value
Somewhat annoyed that I discovered this when I only have 7 left
Also annoyed to discover that they can induce euphoria - can safely say my back has been anything but euphoric.
Anyway the quack âthinksâ itâs improving and now having got me addicted to these drugs he wants me to go cold Turkey
Turns out that the prolapsed disc was worse than thought (but thatâs good apparently)

Day 1 off the drugs - last day at work for a long weekend away - and my leg / back hurts like a muthafucka - so I canât walk down the pub
âHappy with progressâ indeed - private medical is a bag of shiteđ¤Ź
But surely you can @MLT on Twitter and get a deal on some CBD snake oil to replace the meds?
But I thought you said the NHS is shite too

A nation so fvcked up that for itâs biggest annual âPop Musicâ Festival where they vote for Pop song of the year, they invite their Headline act.
Loreen.
Loreen won Eurovison, not once, but twice.
That means she had two songsâŚ
The annoyance?
Euphoria is a banging fvcking tune and Tattoo is brilliant when remixed int a dance vibe.
I hate myself for wobbling along on the sofa to them
Marooned by a puncture in an emergency layby on the M6 yesterday.
Unsurprisingly it is really difficult to have a conversation on a mobile phone with 40 ton lorries going past at 70mph 5 yards away.
My 1 night airbnb just cancelled on me i n Rome ffs
Main one still ok so far but now fucked
