I said that because it makes @pap look soooo shallow. :lou_lol:

I have a Client who is a massive pain in the balls. He insists on meeting me every week. I have deliberately set the day as a Tuesday, so i can email him on a Friday signing every email off with “See You Next Tuesday”.
Petty, but slightly brightens my day.

Jewish Quarter trip tonight place was simply buzzing, peaceful but packed.
Just like the old days.

Get IN!
Revenge!
The party is in full swing, the Poles are dancing to Discopolo.
They demand I tell them Britains best song to dance to.
I told them - Rick Astley.
They believed me.

Everybody is a World authority on something, you just have to pick on something nobody, or very few are interested in. Mine is an obscure vintage American car supercharger. I’ve hung up my guru sandals about 5 years ago but I still get the occasional request to pontificate on Podcasts or to write articles for car mags, which I now politely decline.

However I did supply a few pictures from my archive to a German car mag a few months ago for an article someone was writing about said obscure superchargers. They said, “Thanks very much, we’ll send you a copy of the magazine”

True to their word, I go a free copy of the mag, “Oldtimer Markt” and now it appears I have a free subscription to a very nice and well produced glossy magazine. Three copies so far.

Anyone fluent in German and is willing to read to me? :lou_facepalm_2:

Doing a bit of refurb work on the 3 way compost bins, only to disturb a nest of mice (could be harvest mice - they are very small).
Felt a little bit guilty, because them being there is no problem, so stopped for a bit to allow them to re-group or bugger off.

We’ve become experts in mouse/vole/shrew identification since getting two cats.

You won’t be thinking “how cute” when the rats set up shop there. Compost is like manna from heaven for them.

We have a friend/client/influencer over from Malta.
Yesterday was Polish night in the forest. The Sumerhouse is a tradition it’s a beach hut sized wooden building and are dotted in clusters around Krakow.
Today we planned a Mushrooming lesson - no shrooms, the fairytale castle, massive queues, so instead had a stunning lunch of fresh Trout after some wonderful soups out in a National Park.
Lots of scenery and found the perfect Sunday afternoon village

Today, we were the front car waiting at a Red Light at 17:00.
I hit my horn.
It was the coolest thing I have done here.
Every other car did the same.
All over the City you could hear the horns, sirens and saxons.
Every year on 1st August, the Warsaw uprising is commemorated this way.
Goosebumps.

I know - I have dealt with the rats rather severely over the last two years. Have made both chicken run and compost bins ratproof with chicken wire and mesh.
The mice are tiny, And welcome, but last time they visiteD, they buggered off once I started digging around in the compost.

Sadly I am extremely allergic to cats, or I would get some and make them live at the bottom of the garden!
