Step into my office..

All the wallpaper in each room in the house has now been stripped and we await the arrival of the decorator on Wednesday.

Hopefully my aches and pains will have subsided by then...

Hunting & Gathering!

Watching my new exercise tape Cardio Jive, but I can't figure out where I put the K-Y

Cure - Large plate of extra super hot and spicy curry washed down with warm beer.

As for me busy week with my own duties at work and standing in for my fellow worker who has sloped off on holiday. Later today off to see my GP and probably result in a let down as normal and from there straight to work.

Mixed day yesterday....the house alarm would suddenly activate at different time periods despite the fact I'd turned off the passive sensors. I traced the electric source and disconnected that but then the emergency back-up battery would start the internal and external audio alarm ringing.

Took the battery out only to realise there was a further battery in the external strobe box which was way too high for my household ladders

Quick perusal on Checkatrade and a couple of hours later an alarm specialist came and silence was restored but me being me I told him to strip out the system (couldn't be bothered to start problem tracing with wiring under wooden flooring and skirting boards etc.) and quote for a new wireless system......outcome, installation next Tuesday.

In the evening the daughter and her fiance took the wife and I to see their wedding venue for this September http://www.southcausey.co.uk/

So the day ended well

^ Nice looking venue: I'm packing as we speak for a 13 hour flight to Scotland to drive the 'old sod' for ten days taking in Edinburgh, the Boarders, Oban, Isle of Skye and Cairngorms National Park. My wife, daughter, and prospective son-in-law are along to keep me moving in the right direction. I'll probably drive as necessary so I'm looking for my trusty Scottish road map; although my meticulous trip planner( the frauboss) informs me there's this thing called a GPS she's rented with the car...

My daughter's loaded some new books into my tablet to keep me occupied between Scotch distilleries(single-malt passions of both my wife and daughter) and a breweries along the route. The young man is a cask-master for a CA brewery; so this is sort of a job-related adventure for him as well. I haven't mentioned an extra stop near the village of Aviemore, in Cairngorns...yet; but I'll try to make it look like an accidental discovery en-route! Hasta la vista BBY's for the next fortnight. PS: I can wear my plaid skirt too and no one'll B the wiser!

Stay in touch Aktungbby ... send lots of pict's, start your own Scotland thread and watch out for the pot holes over there.

Hi folks, me again. Stepson's currently back from Uni so he's occupying his bedroom (my office!) so it's a struggle to get online. Family away in Devon but I can't go so home alone for a couple of nights, drinking Cobra (tonight, a nice bottle of Shiraz for the morrow.

Phone's just doing an upgrade, goodness knows what won't work once it's finished!

Walked for a couple of hours tonight, still trying to shift weight, not working (blast that Cobra and Shiraz lol) so must try harder.

Jim forget these silly alarms what you need is a Tiger.

Burglars will run away wetting their cacks seeing the Tiger.

Cold callers will make a bolt for it on seeing the Tiger.

Tiger poo will keep cats and dogs at bay and the flowers will bloom.




Busy night at work and tomorrow looks the same, as for Friday lighter evening but could be a late night but hey O/T more money.

Hi Aktung,
all the best for your trip to Scotland! It is very nice there, although it's been some time for me.
Visiting and having a guided tour in some of the distilleries is also very nice, especially if someone else drives you home to the b&b
Talisker (Skye) and MacAllan are my favourites, although there are a lot of other nice ones. Impossible to know them all lol
Lots of good seafood too

Best response is to post an extract from a PM I sent to a forum member less than an hour ago

On the subject of an alarm, I've chosen a wireless piece of kit that will be linked to both my wife and my mobiles/cell phones, meaning we can switch the system on and off remotely as well as receive notification of activation whilst away from the property.

For home defence there is always Old Bessy (actually an American base ball bat) and in extreme circumstances Old Razor (a samurai sword I purchased in China of all places back in the late seventies before the now stringent weapons transportation on planes restrictions were introduced).

If anyone can get past the above as well as the family pet Lhasa (a really vicious licker) they're welcome to the wife and the diecast collection.
