Good morning Gates.
Yes indeed, do all those projects you have been planning for years. Welcome to the world of soon being busier than you ever were when furking.

Now that I'm retired, I'm going to have to start fixing things around the house!

I went into work yesterday day to say some goodbyes - quite emotional. Though I am looking forward to more free time in my early retirement next year and the new challenges and opportunities that it will bring.Plan was to go to Aberdeen today, but it unexpectedly snowed heavily in the night.Looks like it will melt though.I know it's a bit crazy going to the shops today, but we want to buy our daughter a new guitar.

Good Morning.

Sounds like a nice day, I had to wok until 5pm but it was very quiet

I had a temporary crown while a 2nd new one was being made as 1st was not right.
Mary did a good job, it is a perfect fit, needed no adjustments and colour is spot on.
It arrived late yesterday so she got me in today to fit it for Christmas.
I go back in the New Year to get scale and polish and anything else needing done.

After we made a day of it in Broughty Ferry and visited the castle and then went to the cafe in the park for coffee and cake to warm up.

Thanks it was ok, I'm safe for another month lol

So are you the king without a crown or have they fixed it

[jonjonck] 22/12/2023 08:38

Good Morning.

No, that was Clare. One of my neighbours had her as her dentist and found her to be way over confident and neighbour was always very nervous with her and not as relaxed as she was with the other dentists.

Good luck with your meeting.

Morning

Good luck with good Mary, isn't that the one you complained about, I have my monthly meeting with the CEO and am not sure if I'd rather be at the dentists

[jonjonck] 21/12/2023 21:43

Got the Dentist tomorrow , the Good Mary, to fit my new crown. Hopefully this time it fits.

[2gekko] 21/12/2023 21:08

They already told me that along with "we care for every drop"

It's a bit windy here, hopefully still have a shed in the morning

What a brilliant idea, I will sub-contract it to Anglian Water as I no longer have liability insurance for plumbing repairs. They will be around to repair in January.

[2gekko] 21/12/2023 15:05

Lol I don't !!

Perhaps you and Mrs Jonk fancy a week in sunny East Midlands while I'm in the lake district with wok , it's a fixing job so you are just the man !!

[jonjonck] 21/12/2023 12:18

get your spade out and fix yourself!!! You know you want to.

[2gekko] 21/12/2023 10:53

Hopefully it's at the front as not only have I got the block paved driveway but the conservatory is on the back of the house, AW have just been and the guy said its not a big leak at 12 litres an hour and he's been to houses losing two hundred litres an hour, the team will be out to look further in January which is comical as their motto is we care for every drop lol

[jonjonck] 21/12/2023 09:35

Chances are it is one end or the other - but it is what it is and better to have it fixed. I am going to guess near the house, makes the soil under the house water logged and hence more damp in house and condensation on your front windows.

[2gekko] 21/12/2023 08:33

Morning

It took me a while too, maybe bahs instead of bars, Anglian water coming today so I'm braced for bad news about this leak and hope its not under the driveway sigh

As it was a nice day yesterday I went out for a ride in my car. I had to stop at a set of temporary traffic lights which was next to a field of sheep. I could hear singing and realised the sheep were singing carols. I don't know what carols as the lights changed and I only heard a few bars....

[2gekko] 20/12/2023 18:27

Ah I didn't think of that, the non current wife use to say thinking was not my strong point

[jonjonck] 20/12/2023 17:54

I am saying lovely sarcastically.

[2gekko] 20/12/2023 17:17

There he is with the lovely wife statement again, I'm starting to think it wasn't her that burnt the hob lol

[rovi70] 20/12/2023 13:16

Spent enough for the ten day shutdown. Ho the shops are only closed for one day. Now would you believe it. Money in MONEY OUT. Humbug!!

[jonjonck] 20/12/2023 13:09

LOL rovi.

Ok doky, just about to go out shopping for the last time before Christmas. Hope it is not too busy - no likey busy shops. At least parking will not be an issue as Morrisons have a very large carpark.
