I presume your referring to her birthday?

If so, yes, we were at Newcastle this morning and she picked a pair of dress boots, dress shoes and a pair of ladies trainers.

I'll worry about paying the Visa balance next month

I was sitting watching Traitors whilst eating my evening meal last night and she suggested we replace tyhe double glazed windows (about ten years of age) with trple lazed

Ten days ago a very close friend of mine passed away. We had known each other for about 30 years, and he was the bass player in our band for about 10 years. He lived a five minute walk away from my house.

I didn't visit him enough. I don't have the words to express how heartbroken I am. Please ... go visit your loved ones. And if you can't do that, give them a call. My friend was only 43 years old.

Rest in peace, Doug.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Sean. Doug was much too young. I hope the music you all made helps pull you through during this tough time.

Thoughts and Prayers to you and Doug's family.

Thank you.

...watching The Emerald Forest with Charley Boorman and Powers Boothe, directed by one of my favorite directors, Sir John Boorman(Hope and Glory, Excaliber etc) on a third day of constant incessant rain...which is good as The Donald (trump)

has ordered the California reservoirs to be opened to combat fires; causing much misery to farmers in the Central Valley who need it for the nation's primary produce production.

...awaiting a programmed power failure (0900-1200??) as PG&E advised us by mail a week ago that a power-pole in the neighborhood at the end of my street was due for replacement; I've got the power garage door open amid the incessant 'atmospheric river' of rain that's been ongoing all week with more to come

even my daughter was temporarily trapped in her car during her evening home commute do to a small slide yesterday. There has been flooding and roads closed throughout the Bay area counties.

Currently working on a Evanix RainStorm 1 Air Gun.
I've done massive work on the valve for efficiency, cut the barrel down to 10.5",
Cut other parts down and added a shorter Air Tube to make a nice compact shooter.
Now working on a Custom body to be 3D Printed on 1 of my 3 printers.

How did that all go? Moira's mother has just been diagnosed with this

Perfectly as far as I am aware and I've not felt any deterioation in my sight.

A couple of minutes in front of a laser and that was it, no discomfort whatsoever.

I went through these laser operation in both of my eyes some decade ago(think it was in 2007/8) I was diagnosed with Glaucoma-These laser operation, three in left eye and two in right eye, didn't help so now I'm on medication Eyedrops 3 times per day.

I just had a great moneymaking idea: go around all the supermarkets and get all the free cardboard boxes you can. Then advertise these in Moggie Monthly as must-have play items for cats: minimal outlay (free box) minimal postage (empty box) oh and minimal packaging (box)

If they fits, they sits.
