Suppose I’d better get the shopping done.

And as I type that, the sun goes behind a cloud for the first time all day. Expect torrential rain shortly

Cycle done. 3 miles. Was quite painful. I wont be commuting for a while.

So what exactly have you done to yourself? I saw that you had come off on ice but missed any details of the actual injury.

New chicken house built.
Haven't attached the automatic door opener yet, might do that after the next meeting.

For those at all interested (i.e. none of you), or those bored on a Friday afternoon (i.e. most of you), this is what was purchased:
Durham Hen House (for up to 12 hens)

Or not, as the Toyota’s battery is nearly flat; not enough juice to get it started. Now waiting for Green Flag, due in about an hour

The Green Flag phone app boasts location tracking, allowing you to see where your “technician” is. Mine is currently sitting at his place of employment in a suburb about four miles away

I also like the way the map starts zoomed all the way out to show most of the northern and southern hemispheres. “Yes, he’s just fixing this pickup truck in Namibia and then he’ll be on his way to you.”

It’s the first time I’ve used it in two weeks, but even in cold weather the battery shouldn’t go flat in that time (it didn’t in two months of much colder weather when I had surgery the other year) so I suspect getting a new battery will be on my to-do list if that is indeed the problem

You are a MancManc now?

Yep, but that sounds too much like a duck with no roof to its mouth.

The original damage all long gone. All to do with pulled muscles. I must be getting old - there was only a small impact. But 29 days and I am still hardly walking properly. I had to WFH last 2 days.

This TT in July - how far is it? I tried to look online but there are quite a few TTs in July.

If only there was a poster round here who knew how to fix car electrical problems.....

Why not start a thread in general and give everyone a laugh! 14 pages of drivel later, you still wont get any help....
